[Qgis-user] scale WMS layer

2011-04-14 Thread Federico Lazzaroni
Hi to everyone
I'm a new Qgis user.
I'm trying to set a less detailed scale for a WMS raster layer (I need to
use a origina 1:10.000 topographic map at 1:15.000). Is there a way to
force this setting? I tried with WMS Property -General Visibility
depending froms scale but nothing changes
Furthermore, when I prepare a Printing with the same WMS, I usually can't
keep the same scale I was using in the project. If I use 1:10.000 in the
project I can' use more than 1:4500 in Printings.
Thnak you very much
Federico

A WMS request include a bounding box (in CRS units) and image size (in
pixels). I guess QGIS determines the bounding box from the map extents
and the image size from the screen (or printing) resolution.

I tried with WMS Property -General Visibility
 depending froms scale but nothing changes

What does I can't mean?
Many servers impose a limit in the size of images they serve. Usually
a printed map needs a bigger image than a screen one so you can see
the image in the screen but maybe not in the printing.

I often download several images and use virtual rasters to compose a
bigger one in order to workaround these limits.
