Re: [Qgis-developer] OpenLayers Plugin - feature request

Hi Arne,
adding Stamen terrain background will not take months but a few minutes.

You can either use the Add\Edit\Remove tab under settings, or just copy a  
Stamen folder in qgis2/QuickMapServices/Contribute/data_sources and put it  
into /.qgis2/QuickMapServices/User/data_sources and then adjust the naming  
of the folder and of the settings in the metadata.ini


which looks like this then:

[general]
id = stamen_terrain_background
type = TMS

[ui]
group = stamen
alias = Stamen Terrain Background
icon = stamen.png

[license]
name = CC-BY 3.0
link = http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
copyright_text = Map tiles by Stamen Design, under CC BY 3.0. Data by  
OpenStreetMap, under ODbL

copyright_link = http://maps.stamen.com/
terms_of_use = http://maps.stamen.com/
[tms]
url = http://tile.stamen.com/terrain-background/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
zmin = 0
zmax = 19
y_origin_top = 1

This works quite well, but the service itself is somehow buggy. Lots of  
tiles are missing in deeper zoom levels, both in the browser-based version  
and in QGIS, so the problem is not from QuickMapServices but from the  
service itself.


Hope this helps
Bernd

There are already some Stamen backgrounds available.
Maybe the one you look for is there too. Have also a look at  
Settings/More

services/Get contributed pack

As far as I know, OpenLayers will be replaced by QuickMapServices


Thanks, it helped a bit - it still does not have Stamen  
terrain-background
or something comparable, but it has two other maps I might use  
eventually.


I might try to add Stamen terrain-background when I get around to it -=  
but

I expect this will take some months.

Hi,

for my own private anjoyment (role playing) I hacked the OpenLayers  
Plugin

to work with Stamen terrain-background. As I think having a background
which _only_ consists of physical features might be interesting for other
uses, too, I suggest to you to add this to the OpenLayers Plugin.

(I would have sent you a patch, but my abilities to hack python are very
rudimentary...)
