Re: [Qgis-user] Printed map scale question

[Sarah Gregg]

I've run some tests and you're quite right, playing with the paper size and
scale gives me exactly the right result. Many, many thanks to you all (as
ever), Sarah.

In the print composer, you should see the panel “layout”, if not: g too 
View>panels>layout. There you can change the paper size. (eg A0 instead of A4).
gives you a larger working area.
This 
hope this is what you needed.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm away from the computer until tomorrow, but
as soon as I get back, I'll have a go and let you know the results, Sarah.

Re: [Qgis-user] Printed map scale question

[Andrew]

Hi Sarah,

In the Composer window you can change the size of the image so you can get
the whole map in a single image and at the correct scale. In the
"composition" tab change the paper preset to "custom" and you can set a
custom height and width.

[Qgis-user] Printed map scale question

[Sarah Gregg]

Here I am back again with what may well be a very simple question (though
perhaps with a negative answer).
I have digitalised a zoning map on a 1:25,000 base (for Italian readers,
IGM 1:25,000). So far so good. Now I have to render the results in a
clearly legible high resolution image for printing.
To display the full map on the screen, I have to set the scale at 1:185.000
and obviously if I create an image file at this scale using the Composer,
even if I set the resolution high, the base map is scarsely legible.
Is there any way I can get an image of the whole map at, say, 1:75000...
apart from creating a whole series of image files and then joining them
together using image processing software?
Many thanks for your advice, Sarah.
