Re: [Qgis-user] Graticules in QGIS 2.0
Hi Marco, is that feature (graticule with geographic coordinates over a projected dataset in map composer) already in master? A colleague needs ticks labeled with geographic coordinates on top of dataset with a square feature in UTM32. cheers, robert -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Graticules-in-QGIS-2-0-tp5099629p5138858.html Sent from the Quantum GIS - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] Graticules in QGIS 2.0
Hi Simon, Yes a vectort grid is the easier solution for generating the lines, and this ca be done via the Vector grid option. Labelling is not so much of an issue if the map is exported to a Graphics package to edit. There are workarounds as others have mentioned so all good news. QGIS 2.0 is working fine, although there is a runtime error with the 64 bit windows version, but does not affect the program operation. Hopefully in the future releases the map composer will get a full overhaul to include more options.

Another option is to create you standard non-geographical map in UTM, Lambert or whatever. Turn on reproject on the fly.

So in summary, rather than use the print composer to put gradicules on, add the gradicule as a vector file like any other vector file.

Hi The feature of displaying curved composer grid lines in other CRS will go into the code base shortly after the 2.2 release.

Re: [Qgis-user] Graticules in QGIS 2.0
Hi Carlos and Lester, I have managed to get both a lat - lon graticule grid and a metric scale bar onto the same map in the composer. It is relatively straight forward. Set your map up in the composer with the on the fly projection set to WGS84 Geographic. Add your graticules as per your own style and design. Lock the map, make sure your map is complete with all legends text etc added and complete. Now add another map to the composer adjacent to your map canvas, Make sure the size (length and breadth) is exactly the same as your canvas map. Now go back to QGIS and change the projection properties to your desired projection. Back in the composer, select the map you just added and click set to map canvas extent. Your second map should now be at the same extent as the first map except it is now projected. All you have to do now is add a scale bar on this map and transfer it to the map with the graticules. This is a bit of a work around and requires that you are very careful with how you set things up. Let me know if this does not make sense, it works for me.

Re: [Qgis-user] Graticules in QGIS 2.0
Thank you Wesley Another (maybe easier) way is: 1. Set your CRS in Lat-Long coordinates. 2. Insert a map in composer. This is a Lat-Long map. Put graticule. Take note of scale. 3. In map canvas change the SRC to desired, for example UTM 4. Insert another map in composer, but just an small part that can be out the sheet of behind the principal map. Give this small map same scale that first. 5. Insert a scale bar, linked to second map. This scale bar has UTM units, so you got a lat-long map, with UTM scale bar.
