[Qgis-user] how to display longitude and latitude

[Severino III Salmo]

Thanks Agus and Ramon.

I am trying to view the X- and Y-axes with the Longitude and Latitude labels. From Agus reply, it seems it is not possible. Are there any other ways to somehow display the Lat- and Long- in the axes?

Thanks,

Sev
