Hello Ravi, hello Stefan, I'm not sure if I understand Ravi's particular problem correctly, but for the Print/Layout-Plug-In following holds:
- The 'raw' map data is in screen coordinates as it comes from OpenJUMP. - In the plug-in you work with a preselected paper size (A0, A4). - A affine transformation is put between the raw data and the paper sheet to make sure that the different scales are matching. Ravi, have you tried the Print/Layout-Plug-In anyway?
