Hello,
The one major element missing from the otherwise great Quantum GIS, is that
of easy setup map graticules. There is a basic way of doing simple ones in
the print composer which is fine for geographic (WGS84) or UTM etc type
projections, but will not work for conic or stereographic etc.
Is there a plugin for doing this work (that is built-in to layout mode in
ArcGIS) or is this an upgrade/update that will be available in a new
release?
Generating a vector grid does not work properly in 1.8.0, and certainly
only partially completes a Polar Stereographic layout. There are clearly
flaws that need to be addressed. If there is a reliable workaround for
this, it would be good to know.

A workaround is to make the graticule in WGS84 and reproject it to the
desired end projection. I found that it doesn't curve well so I wrote
this script to make graticules with a higher points density that
projects well.

I hope to work it into QGIS at a later point, but you can use it
standalone with python to make what you need, import and reproject.
Thanks,
Alex
