AW: [Qgis-user] printing with metis?
Hi Marco, If you are curious about the print composer developments, just check out the printing branch: svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/branches/advanced_printing_branch I'm trying to bring the branch to a stable state until 15. August so it can be tested by interested folks. 25. August is the feature freeze for 1.0 and the latest date for merge. To your suggestions: 2. on mouse over the object may show a tooltip showing the name of the object That's a good idea, I added it to my todo list. Maybe tooltip could also show the most important properties of the object 3. users should be able to resize the objects on the page directly with the mouse (such as resizing windows); now resizing is possible only giving the width-height parameters as numbers (that's good for a fine sizing, but not for a quick one) In printcomposer branch, it is possible to resize the maps in composer and also to move the content of composer map. For the other objects (scale bar, label, legend), resizing changes the size of the frame, but not the size of the content. 1. when the user press an add object button, the object may be automatically placed on the map, with a standard (small) dimension and position (left up corner?) I'm not sure about that. Most graphic programs (and also the main window of QGIS for some tools) work the way that a user picks a tool and nothing happens until mouse click or drag in canvas is done. E.g. in inkscape, if you add a rectangle, you pick the rectangle tool and the rectangle appears once the user drags the mouse on the canvas. I think it is quite natural to work this way. However, in inkscape, there is a changing mouse cursor depending on the selected tool. I think that would also be helpful in the print composer.

Hi Andreas, Marco (Pasetti) - can you elaborate on what you want to see adressed regarding the usability in the print composer? Any concrete suggestions? As you said, it would be better to discuss the usability problems first before everything is implemented. yes, I agree; the topic needs to be expanded... OT: you (all) can call me as marcopx (my commit username) to not make confusion between me and Marco Hugentoblers ;) you mean a tooltip? - this would be a good idea! yes, correct; what I recorded from many users (myself too) is that when you press a button in the Map Composer nothing actually happens; you need to put the mouse over the map an press the left button again to see the object placed on the map; what I suggest is: 1. when the user press an add object button, the object may be automatically placed on the map, with a standard (small) dimension and position (left up corner?) 2. on mouse over the object may show a tooltip showing the name of the object 3. users should be able to resize the objects on the page directly with the mouse (such as resizing windows); now resizing is possible only giving the width-height parameters as numbers (that's good for a fine sizing, but not for a quick one) 4. (minor) the layout page should be zoomable also using the mouse wheel That's mainly what I suggest I'll give you more notes if I'll write down some new :) Regards, Marco ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] coordinates in both projected and geographic systems
Hi Both use cases are technically not difficult I think - its just a matter of someone finding the time amongst all the other things that need sorting out for QGIS 1.0. Be sure to file a feature / enhancement request and we will get to this when time permits. Regards Tim 2008/7/31 Michael Neubauer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Actually, I was thinking about a similar problem: I am working in an area, where two different projections are used (UTM and S42). So I get locations in both coordinate systems and I would like to display them at the same time on the map. So I have the same wish as Austin, only that I would like to have two different projected systems displayed. Maybe it is already possible...? Thank you very much for thinking about it. micha Am Mittwoch 30 Juli 2008 18:06:31 schrieb Agustin Lobo: Could it be possible in the future having the coordinates displayed both in the projection system of the project (as it is now ) and as geographic (lon, lat) coordinates? For example, today I was using my data in qgis as an aid to search the spot catalogue, where you define windows as lat, lon. Having had both types of coordinates would been helpful. Thanks!

Re: [Qgis-user] Polygon from text coordinates
Hi 2008/7/30 Agustin Lobo [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Is it possible to define a polygon (actually easier, just a rectangle) using text coordinates? can bookmarks be saved as text files or exported as shp? If you know a little sql you can do some tricks. The bookmarks are stored in an sqlite3 database in your ~/.qgis/qgis.db database. Using command line sql or one of several free sqlite3 admin frontends, you can query to get out the bookmarks or create new ones e.g. sqlite3 ~/.qgis/qgis.db sqlite select * from tbl_bookmarks; 1|Test||-159.705|-132.842|153.48|136.971|-1 2|test2||-159.705|-132.842|153.48|136.971|-1 ... ...
