Re: [Qgis-user] Layout export to image not cropping when draw coordinates outside map frame enabled.

[Michael Dufty via QGIS-User]

Just checked and someone else has reported it as a bug a year ago.  Print 
layout: crop to content produces incorrect cropping when grid coordinates 
labels are present #47250

Subject: [Qgis-user] Layout export to image not cropping when draw coordinates 
outside map frame enabled.

I'm having an issue exporting layouts to image.  Wondering if anyone else has 
found a solution.
Not sure if it is a bug or a feature.

If I have grid coordinate labels around the outside of a map frame (draw 
coordinates), I find when I export as image with crop to content checked and 0 
margins, I end up with a large margin of about 70 pixels around the export, 
wherever the map frame is near the edge.
In the past I've used a work around, setting the text as inside the map frame, 
but with a negative offset so it appears outside.
Since the latest update 3.28.4/3.30 this no longer works, the export is still 
cropped correctly, but the labels vanish (visible in layout preview but not in 
the image export).

Anyone have any ideas or should it be a bug report?  Looks like the extra 
margin may is about what would be required if the coordinates labels were 
perpendicular to the frame instead of parallel.

Thanks, Thayer.
That is what was needed.
All is well.

Hi Mike,

I recommend:
1) delete the map.
   You will probably see a lot of grey with a small white box. The 
white box is what gets printed. Note that by default the layout is A4 
size. You probably want Letter or Legal.
2) Right click inside the white box (if you don't see the white box do 
3 first)

a) select Page Properties
b) set the "Page Size" "Size". Legal and Letter are in the middle of 
the list.
3) left click the "zoom full" icon, 4th from the left, 2nd toolbar 
from the top.Then add a new map, this time fit it within the white 
area of the page.


Then try exporting your image again.

Re: [Qgis-user] Layout page size variable?

[John Layt]

Not sure you can use it in this case, but if you're needing to find
standard page sizes and localised names from width x height measurements,
the Qt QPageSize class has useful lookup tools. See
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qpagesize.html.

Something like:

id = QPageSize.id(QSizeF(width, height), QPageSize.Millimeters)
name = QPageSize.name(id)

It does a fuzzy match on size within 3 points, and ignores orientation, so
should always get the right standard page size regardless.

Cheers!

John.

Hi Charles (& others)

 

Thanks for the advice guys.  I’ve come up with this, it works a treat.

 

[%'Scale 1:' || format_number(round(map_get(item_variables('Main-Map-1'), 
'map_scale'),0),0)||

CASE

WHEN @layout_pagewidth IS 297 AND @layout_pageheight IS 210 THEN ' @ A4'

WHEN @layout_pagewidth IS 210 AND @layout_pageheight IS 297 THEN ' @ A4'

WHEN @layout_pagewidth IS 420 AND @layout_pageheight IS 297 THEN ' @ A3'

WHEN @layout_pagewidth IS 297 AND @layout_pageheight IS 420 THEN ' @ A3'

ELSE ' @ ???'

END%]

 

Cheers

Tony

Yeah I am not aware of a variable for this... But page sizes are actually more 
complicated than they seem. You can emulate it pretty easily with something 
like the following expression on a layout as you suggested:

 

[%CASE

Landscape'
WHEN @layout_pagewidth IS 210 AND @layout_pageheight IS 297 THEN 'On A4

Re: [Qgis-user] Layout page size variable?

[Thomas Gratier]

Hi,

Not sure it's available but you can use the following Python expression to
add the functionality

@qgsfunction(args='auto', group='Layout')
def get_page_format(layoutname, pagenumber, feature, parent, context):
layout = QgsProject.instance().layoutManager().layoutByName(layoutname)
page = layout.pageCollection().page(pagenumber - 1)
return QgsApplication.pageSizeRegistry().find(page.pageSize())

and calling it with

get_page_format('demo', @layout_page)

Regards

Thomas Gratier

[Qgis-user] Layout page size variable?

[Tony Shepherd (FarmMaps NZ)]

Hi All

 

Is there a variable that returns the page size of a print layout?

 

I would like to add the page size to the scale below so it reads something
like "1:5,000 @ A3"

I can see variables for width and height, but not Page Size?

 

Or would I need to code in some 'if' &  'then' statements using the width
variables to arrive at the page size?

 



 

 

Cheers

Re: [Qgis-user] Layout

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

Make sure you have the exact same scale in both the layout and the project 
view.  If some of the map is from a web service, it may also add restrictions 
that you won’t be able to control (like the maximum pixel resolution it will 
give you).

[Qgis-user] Layout export images not cropping to content with outside grid labels

[Michael Dufty]

Hi,
I’m having an issue where if I export a layout as image, and tick the crop to 
content option, the result is not cropped to the content, but has considerable 
white space.
It seems to only happen where I have a grid with coordinates labelled on the 
outside.

It looks like QGIS is cropping to about where the coordinate labels would be if 
they were perpendicular to the edge of the map, but since I have them parallel 
with the map edge, a large white space is created.
Has anyone else come across this?  I can’t find any settings in the grid or map 
for this.

I have found a workaround, if I select to draw coordinate labels on the inside, 
then give them a negative distance to the map frame it all works as I think it 
should.

layout.pageCollection().addPage( page )

(you don't use addLayoutItem for pages -- add it directly to the page
collection instead)

[Qgis-user] Layout without initializeDefaults()

[Mayo Rubiano]

Hello everyone.
I'm new in QGIS.
My question is: I'm trying to layout with PYQGIS, I understand that there
is one way to initialize automatically the layout configurations that is
with the function initializeDefaluts(), that adds a A4 page in landscape
orientation. But I want to layout without this function because I need a
different page size and orientation.
I tried with this code in the python console:

project = QgsProject().instance()
layout = QgsPrintLayout(project)
page = QgsLayoutItemPage(layout)
#set page orientation vertically and a letter size
page.setPageSize("Letter", 0)
layout.addLayoutItem(page)
#set the layout name for the layout manager
layout.setName("MyLayout")
#add the layout to the layout manager
project.layoutManager().addLayout(layout)


When I open the layout made with this code in the the layout manager I note
that the variable layout_numpages is set to 0, that means that I can't add
guides because there are no pages to link guides and I can't use the rulers
because the 0 of y rulers is at the coordinates (0,10)mm. Then, there are
other variables with different values (layout_pageheight, layout_pageoffset
and layout _page width).

Could someone tell me what is needed to build a layout without that
function and correcting the rulers and the layout_numpage variable?

Thanks

[Qgis-user] Layout Guides

[Grant Boxer]

I have saved a print template with guides, but when I re-open the layout 
template, the guides are not shown. I have the "Show Guides" etc ticked 
on. Should the guides be saved with the template? Is there something I 
am missing?

Re: [Qgis-user] Layout Manager Atlas Output filename expression is not working anymore

[Raúl Sangonzalo Terrado]

I think I have found the issue in the code. In qgslayoutatlas.cpp, in line
347. I believe that what is happening is that the entire path is converted
into a QFileInfo fileName() somehow (I'm sorry, my knowledge in C++ is very
limited) so my understanding is that because a file cannot contain a "\" in
the name, it is converted to a "_" in the dialog.

My conclusion is that this might not be a bug after all, and that now it is
working as it is supposed to be (I might be wrong though). I think in QGIS
2.18, it did what it wasn't supposed to and miraculously served our
purpose, which was to find the correct folder (constructed with an
expression) and adding the feature name to the file automatically. Any
ideas on this?

Best,
Raúl

Re: [Qgis-user] Layout question

[C Hamilton]

Michael,

I can't answer your whole question but just as a note, use the rotation
ability of the QGIS 3 Shape Tools plugin. It will do a geodesic rotation
and not be confused by units in degrees which may be why you are getting it
skewed when you try to rotate.

[Qgis-user] Layout question

[Michael Jabot]

I have been using the Equal Earth projection for an example for schools.

Is there a way in QGIS to shift the view so that a particular polygon of
interest is centered in the layout?

What I am trying to do is get a “head onto view” of this polygon instead of
having it skewed. I tried rotation but it rotated along the wrong axis

Thank you for any ideas and again I apologize for these dumb questions

Mike

Ah, great, aggregate() can access layers:

[% aggregate('longId_9b9129d7_9c00_4a30_8c6c_d3959664149b', 'count', 1,
"group" = 'a' and "subgroup" = 'b') %]

[Qgis-user] Layout and Reporting Engine Crowdfunding Campaign – a success!

[Nyall Dawson]

Hi all,

Just a quick update to let you know that our recent crowdfunding
campaign to rework QGIS' print composer for 3.0 was a huge success!

I'd like to thank every member of the QGIS community who assisted with
promoting this campaign and bringing it to the attention of the
campaign backers. Without your efforts we would not have been able to
reach these backers and the campaign would not have been successful.

Of course, our thanks also go to the many financial sponsors for this work:

- The Swiss QGIS User group (funded preliminary work in refactoring
how compositions are handled and stored within projects)
- The QGIS Grant Program (2016) (funded preliminary work allowing for
a flexible property framework which will be used within the project)
- Land Vorarlberg, Austria
- Tudor Bărăscu
- Oester Messtechnik GmbH, Thun, Switzerland
- Ferdinando Urbano, Italy
- Alta ehf, Reykjavik, Iceland
- Trage Wegen, Belgium
- QGIS Denmark User Group, Denmark
- Debuco Techniek B.V., Netherlands
- The QWAT Project
- QGIS Sweden User Group, Sweden
- Andreas Neumann
- Kristianstads kommun, Sweden
- City of Vevey, Switzerland
- Kanton Thurgau, Switzerland
- Ricardo Pinho, Portugal
- Portugese QGIS User Group, Portugal
- Waymotion, Portugal
- Lloyd Analytics LLC, USA
- Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
- Hartmut Dickel, Switzerland

We’ve also received numerous anonymous contributions in addition to
these – please know that the QGIS community extends their gratitude
for your contributions too!

This campaign was also successful thanks to The Agency for Data Supply
and Efficiency, Denmark, who stepped up and have funded an initial
component of this project directly.

I'll be posting updates as this work progresses over at
https://north-road.com/blog/

Many thanks!
Nyall

This bug should be fixed in the current 2.4 beta builds. Do you mind
testing with one the current pre-release snapshot and confirming? More

[Qgis-user] Layout-window: Grid properties: Order when using Tab-Key

[Peter Schürch]

Hi List
I noticed that when I use the Tab-Key to jump from one property to the next in 
the grid settings the order is:
1. X-Intervall
2.  X-Shift
3. Y-Shift
Etc.

Y-Intervall is left out. This doesn't make sense to me, as you usually want to 
change X- and Y-Intervall at the same time (and often the same value). 
Potentially it would even make sense to set Y-Intervall by default to 
X-Intervall. So if this is what the user want's he doesn't need to change it.

Cheers, Peter

[Qgis-user] - Layout page set up Qgis 1.5 (r13629)

[Camilla Dibari]

Dear all,
I'm a recent QGIS user and I encontered this problem:
platform: Windows XP
QGIS version: 1.5 (r13629)

issue: when I try to modify the page set up in a layout (e.g. from A4 
orizontal to vertical) the white page on the background disappears and 
if I export the map either in pdf or any image format, the exporting 
process is not accomplished.


Is this maybe due to the Windows platform?
Is there anyone who encountered the same problem?
Shall I open a new ticket on this topic?

Thank you in advance for any help you provide

regards

Camilla

Checked, and cannot confirm this on Debian.
I think opening a ticket is a good thing to do, if anybody else confirms the 
problem.
Please note: also the quickprint has win-specific bugs, I think they must be 
solved
before release.
All the best.
