Hi! As I use Windows I usually use the Snipping tool in Windows for such needs. Isn’t that an option? Useful for other programs too.

My users need this to make a copy of the map and paste into MS-Word or other software. While not part of the QGIS app, one could use this PyQGIS snippet to do so (tested quickly on macOS 10.11.6 under QGIS 2.14) from the PyQGIS console: from PyQt4.QtGui import * QApplication.clipboard().setImage(QImage(QPixmap.grabWidget(iface.mapCanvas()))) This avoids having to re-render the QGraphicsView (QgsMapCanvas) to a paint device, like an image. Code can be wrapped in a plugin, then have some key bindings applied (would need some more PyQt). Larry Shaffer Dakota Cartography Black Hills, South Dakota I really need the functionality for my users and I can't seem to find it. The closest I've come is the "save as png" menu-item in the project menu. But it's to cumbersome to use in this case. Afaics, there's no "save as png" option but "save as image" in Project menu, option from which you can choose the image file format (bmp, jpg...). It's not on the clipboard but easier and more accessible than print composer. Regards, Harrissou I'm familiar with the composer function. My users can't use this neither because it takes to long to activate (to many choices and to many buttons to click) So I've decided to make a simple plugin to cover this functionality. But first I want to be very sure the function actually is missing ;-) Regards Bo Victor Thomsen Municipality of Frederikssund, Denmark. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org<mailto:Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org> List info: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org<mailto:Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org> List info: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
