Re: [Qgis-user] Opinion on an idea for plugin - Print composer guide manager

2014-06-11 Thread Nyall Dawson
Hi Alexandre,

I agree that this would be a really useful feature - it's been on my
(lengthy!) to-do list for a while now. However, I think ideally this
should be implemented directly within QGIS, rather than as plug in.
I'm happy to work with you on this if you'd like guidance.

 I have some difficulty in using print composers guides, not being able to

 really does not matter if it's the value is 10,0001 or 10,0002. But it feels
 weird doing it.

 My idea would be to create a plugin that would add a panel to print
 composer, listing all guides positions (along with the page number and
 vertical/horizontal reference).

 If needed, one could then precisely set each guide, add new guides, or
 remove existing ones.

 What do you thing? Would it be useful?

 Can anyone point me to API parts that I would need to check to complete this
 task?

 Thanks,

 Alexandre Neto

I think I could make it work with python, but unfortunately my C++ skills
are really nonexistent (to learn C++ is in my lengthy to-do list...)

Do you think making a python plugin would help future implementation in
QGIS Core? If so, then I will be happy to accept your guidance.


Best Regards,
