Re: [Qgis-user] Atlas plugin - create map books

2012-01-31 Thread Luca Lanteri
Hi, I'm trying to use the atlas plugin.
All works fine except that if I use my local projection system (EPSG:
32632) the WMS base map
is printed shifted. If I print directly via QGIS composer the WMS is
printed in the right way.
The same thing happened with the map book plugin but it can be solved using
the trick of "print as raster".

Anyone can confirm to me this bug. Can I do some other test that can be
used to solve the problem ?

thanks
Luca

Thanks for using the tracker for bug reporting.
I don't have any OSX platform to test on, so if other have the same issues on 
windows/linux, please report too, otherwise we'll probably have to wait for

Hi Vincent,

This is a very useful idea, but seems to be not working on my OSX environment 
using a trunk build. I submitted a couple of bugs that you may already have 
seen. For convenience, I've linked them here as well. Perhaps others who have 
developed python plugins will be able to assist in debugging these issues.

Thanks for undertaking this quality addition for qgis. I look forward to seeing 
it progress.

That's something to ask to qgis devs at large :)
If we keep it in Python, I'd be glad to move it to qgis master.
We'd want to wait for test and consolidation before that.
What do other think ?

Do you think a porting to C++ is really necessary? Wouldn't it be sufficient to 
move
the py code to master once ready for production and well tested?
All the best.

You know that just as you, I really don't like wasted efforts.
The main difference is that, as said by others, this plugin lets you use the 
composer to create a template for the final composition. Another difference is 
that it lets you use any field of the coverage layer for text replacement.

I had a deep look into easyprint, and the conclusion was that it would be much 
easier to start again from scratch than trying to adapt easyprint to accept 
composer templates, as its original format is custom and very constrained.

That said, some parts of easyprint could be ported to Atlas, namely the 
coverage grid generation part.

As for having Atlas a QGis core part, I could do the C++ port, but this 
project would need funding. If anyone interested, get in touch.

As for now, I'll focus on getting it stable, so feel free to report bugs, and 
I will try to release new versions soon and often (already some nasty 
installation bugs were resolved).

Vincent

Paolo,

I had a chat to Vincent on IRC just before about making a core feature of
QGIS.   He said that might be doable as a funded project, so if we can get
someone to fund it we might be able to have it as a core function of QGIS.
 Which I would love.

Agreed, having many plugins around is painful for users: Vincent, Stefan, any
interest in collaborating?
BTW, once stabilized I think this is a good candidate for becoming a core 
plugin.

2012-01-25 Thread Luca Lanteri
FANTASTIC !
The estension is just the improvement of easyprint that I need for my work.
- it uses the composer for layout instead of xml file,
- there isn't limitation in the number of custom field,
- output in different format.

in the next days I'll try to use it and I hope to send some useful feedback

many thanks to OSLANDIA.

I didn't test it yet but one postive thing I see is that you can create your 
own template using the composer and use dynamic value from attribut table.

Merging the two would be really interesting :)

I can let you use Composer windows to create the map books.

Hi,
A quick message to point you to a new «Atlas» plugin, which let you 
create pdf map books given a layer defining map zones.
The plugin is available in the experimental part of the new plugin 
repository.
