Re: [Qgis-user] Printed map scale question
I've run some tests and you're quite right, playing with the paper size and scale gives me exactly the right result.

Re: [Qgis-user] Printed map scale question
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.

Re: [Qgis-user] Printed map scale question
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
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?
