Hello. I have recently entered the GIS/QGIS world. Basically I have an interest in astronomy and want to produce an eclipse visibility map for India. (Apologies that my interests in GIS are for now not any deeper than that...)
I only want to produce the map for India and decided upon a "square" region bounded by 5 N ~ 40 N and 65 E ~ 100 E. However I'm not sure how to limit the extent of the map in QGIS. The slightest drag or the slightest click with the hand tool seems to change the extent. Now clicking to zoom/unzoom is fine but I really don't want QGIS to spend time updating the rest of the globe rendering and more than that in my final output I only want a PDF or PNG showing the above region. I did search the QGIS PDF manual for the keyword "extent" but whatever I found did not seem to answer what I was looking for. I am afraid to go to gis.stackexchange for fear that a noob question might be downvoted. So I turn to the mailing list. Thanks for your patience and help! -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
