Hi Allesandro,<br>
<br>
In fact, Marco is currently working on exactly what you want. He is
extending QGIS mapserver with a GetPrint command that allows to
specify the map extent, the layout/template to use, rotation
parameter, dpi, etc. and you'll get a PDF/SVG/PNG/JPEG as output.
The templates will be picked up from the QGIS project file.<br>
<br>
If you can wait until next year (probably mid to end of January) it
will be part of QGIS mapserver.<br>
<br>
So no need to work on it in parallel - unless you have something
else in mind.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Great!</div><div><br></div><div>This is exactly what I had in mind, so I will wait for your solution.</div><div><br></div><div>Did you foresee the possibility to insert kvp substitution parameters for text strings in print templates ?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Something that allows sending substitution strings in the request, for example the name of the customer or similar short text snippets.</div></div><br clear="all">example:<div><br></div><div>[ Printed by: {username}] </div>
