I dont know whether qgis has the ability to create a mapbook - i think this
would be a nice feature to have

this is not yet possible, but I think a lot of the functionality to
create such a feature is already present, e.g. the filtered printing in
QGIS server with autozoom to the features.

For the mapbook printing, would the user provide a layer containing all
the mapsheet boundaries and QGIS should loop over all of them? Would all
mapsheet boundaries be of equal size or could there be different sizes?
The former case seems easy to me, but the latter? How should the layout
react if the mapsheets are of different sizes?

Anyway - please add it to the wiki:

Thanks,
Andreas

Missing features in print-composer, was: Re: [Qgis-user] Bugs, release of 1.7 and release of 1.7 as beta

2011-06-07 Thread Andreas Neumann

Boris,

These sound like reasonable requests and should be implementable. Of 
course someone has to do it or pay for the implementation - but I don't 
see them as overly complex. Also they don't seem more like convenience 
features than problems that prevent proper map layouts.


Please report the feature requests.

Andreas

 what features specifically in the print composer are missing?

 I often hear people complain about missing features in the print
 composer, but I think that at the current trunk version it is 
already

 quite powerful and maybe the people just aren't aware about some
 functionality.

Agreed. I also had people complaining about map composer being not
powerful enough, but when questioned, I never could get a list of 
missing

features (apart from resizable, multicolumn legends, you're right).
Please let us know what is still missing: the more accurate you are 
the

more chances you have your request will be fulfilled.


1. Multiline text for menu items. Now if you force EOL character, it
works in
the right panel, but not on the sheet.

2. Copy  paste composer items. With many text labels in the layout,
it would
be extremely nice to be able to create just one, set its style and
clone a few
times. In the perfect world, even between two composers.

3. Set options for multiple items. Now if you select two items at 
once, some
tools work on both, but item properties change only the last one. 
Would be

nice to make it working, however probably less cost-effective than
the point 2.

I'll open tickets as soon as I migrate myself to redmine :)
