-
-The map composer provides growing layout and printing
-capabilities. It allows you to add elements such as the QGIS map canvas,
-legend, scalebar, images, and text labels. You can size, group
-and position each element and adjust the properties to create your layout.
-The result can be printed (also to Postscript and PDF), exported as an image,
-or exported to SVG.\footnote{Export to SVG is currently not supported,
-because this functionality is not working with recent QT4 versions.} See a

-\subsection{Using Map Composer}\label{label_usemapcomposer}
-ies
-To use the map composer, first add the layers you
-want to print to QGIS. The layers should be rendered and symbolized to your
-liking prior to composing the map.
-
-%\begin{figure}[ht]
-% \begin{center}
-% \caption{Map Composer}\label{fig:map_composer_blank}\smallskip
-% \includegraphics[clip=true, width=14cm]{map_composer_blank09}
-%\end{center}
-%\end{figure}
-
-Opening the map composer provides you with a blank canvas to which you can add
-the current map view, legend, scalebar, and text. Figure
-\ref{fig:map_composer_blank} shows the initial view of the map composer before
-any elements are added.
-
-The map composer has two tabs: \tab{General} and \tab{Item}. The General tab
-allows you to set the paper size, orientation, and resolution for the map.
-The Item tab displays the properties for the currently selected map element.
-By selecting an element on the map (eg. legend, scalebar, text, etc.) and
-clicking on the \tab{Item} tab, you can customize the settings.
-
-You can add multiple elements to the composer. This allows you to have more
-than one map view and legend in the composer. Each element has its own
-properties and in the case of the map, its own extent.
-
-\subsubsection{Adding a Map to the Composer}
-
-To add the QGIS map canvas to the map composer, click on the
-%FIXME \toolbtntwo{composer_add_image}{Add a new map}
-button in toolbar. Drag a rectangle on the composer canvas to add the
-map. You can resize the map later by clicking on the \button{Select/move item}
-button, clicking on the map, and dragging one of the handles in the corner of
-the map. With the map selected, you can also resize the map by specifying the
-width and height on the Item properties tab.
-
-The map is linked to the QGIS map canvas. If you change the view on the map
-canvas by zooming or panning, you can update the map composer view by
-selecting the map in composer and clicking on the \button{Set Extent} button.
-You can also change the composer view by specifying a map scale. To set the
-view to a specific scale:
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item Choose \selectstring{Set}{Scale (calculate extent)}
-\item Enter the scale denominator in the scale box
-\item Press Enter
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\subsubsection{Adding other Elements to the Composer}
-
-Already existing QGIS templates can be used to easily load and adapt map
-layouts. To open an existing template, click on the
-%FIXME \toolbtntwo{composer_open_template}{Open Template}
-button. Choose a template and
-customize its appearance.
-
-To add a logo, north arrow or any kind of image to the composer, click on
-the
-%FIXME \toolbtntwo{composer_add_image}{Add Image}
-button. The image will
-be placed on the composer canvas and you can move it where you like.
-
-A legend can be added to the composer canvas and customized to show only the
-desired layers. To add a legend, click on the
-%FIXME \toolbtntwo{composer_add_legend08}{Add Vector Legend}
-button. The legend will be
-placed on the composer canvas and you can move it where you like. Click on
-the \tab{Items} tab to customize the appearance of the legend, including
-which layers are shown.
-
-To add a scalebar to the composer, click on the
-%FIXME \toolbtntwo{composer_add_scalebar08}{Add Scalebar}
-button. Use the \tab{Item}
-tab to customize the segment size, number of segments, scalebar units, size,
-and font for the scalebar.
-
-You can add text labels to the composer by clicking on the
-%FIXME \toolbtntwo{composer_add_label}{Add New Label}
-button. Use the \tab{Item} tab
-while the text is selected to customize the settings or change the default text.
-
-Figure \ref{fig:map_composer_complete} shows the map composer after adding
-each type of map element.
-%\begin{figure}[h]
-% \begin{center}
-% \caption{Map Composer with map view, legend, scalebar, and text added}\label{fig:map_composer_complete}\smallskip
-% \includegraphics[clip=true, width=14cm]{map_composer09}
-%\end{center}
-%\end{figure}
-
-\subsubsection{Other Features}
-
-The map composer has navigation tools to zoom in and out. To zoom in, click
-the \button{Zoom in} tool. The map composer canvas will be scaled by a factor to 2. Use
-the scrollbars to adjust the view to the area of interest. Zooming out works
-in a similar fashion.
-
-If you find the view in an inconsistent state, you can use the \button{Refresh} button
-to redraw the map composer canvas.
-
-\subsubsection{Creating Output}
-
-The map composer allows you to print the map to a printer, export to a PNG or
-export to SVG. Each of these functions is available from the composer toolbar.
-
-To save the composer canvas as a templates, click on the
-%\toolbtntwo{composer_save_template}{Save Template As}
-button. Browse to the directory
-you like and save a template to use it again for another map canvas.
-
-It is possible to export the result as an image by clicking on the
-%FIXME \toolbtntwo{composer_export_image}{Export as image}
-button.
-
-To export the composer canvas as an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic), click on
-the
-%FIXME \toolbtntwo{composer_export_svg}{Export as SVG}
-button. \textbf{Note:}
-Currently the SVG output is very basic. This is not a QGIS problem, but a
-problem of the underlaying Qt library. This will be sorted out in future versions.
