[Qgis-user] Map books

[Tom White]

Hello, all.

I'm trying to make map books for a volunteer fire station. I've done
it in another (commercial) package, and it goes something like this:

Divide the area up into reasonably sized rectangles, with an aspect
ratio similar to the final page size (for instance, 2x3 arc seconds).

Create page images (with labeling as detailed as possible)
Create page feature dumps (basically a list of features on the page
that are then tied back to an index)

And from there it's imagemagick, textutils and other hacks to get it
into a book format.

Has anyone attempted to make any sort of map books with QGis, or does
anybody know how it might be done?
