[Qgis-user] Legend orientation and AGD coordinates

[Brett Adams]

Hello Ramon (formerly of Heron Resources). As soon as you mentioned 
Heron I remembered your name.

The Legend orientation is a pest but actually the work around it pretty 
simple. It doesn't bother me too much.

QGIS's failure to deal with AMG/AGD has lead me to pretty much abandon 
the programme. I still have one client that is completely GDA94 so I 
leave them on QGIS to stay in touch in the hope this issue will be fixed 
one day.

I tried sponsoring a bug fix for the AMG issue late last year but 
nothing happened. The problem, as I understood it, is that QGIS use an 
external provider for all their projection files, so technically its not 
a QGIS problem, all be it fatal if you work in Australia.

A few folks had success loading some definition files running Linux 
which obviously works a little differently. I tried but couldn't get it 
to work on Windows. If your interested I can probably trawl back and 
find the relevant files and instructions.

In the end it was too hard and I didn't have the time or the knowledge 
to fix it.

Its a shame because QGIS is a very tidy package and was ideal for me, 
but way too dangerous to continue using.

I'd not really thought about sponsoring a bit of development, but this way we could get something useful to us done with the contribution. But having not tried it before, I don't really know what's involved and would need to find out.)
