[Qgis-user] Graticules in QGIS 2.0

[Wesley Roberts]

Hi Carlos and Lester,

I have managed to get both a lat - lon graticule grid and a metric scale
bar onto the same map in the composer. It is relatively straight forward.
Set your map up in the composer with the on the fly projection set to WGS84
Geographic. Add your graticules as per your own style and design. Lock the
map, make sure your map is complete with all legends text etc added and
complete. Now add another map to the composer adjacent to your map canvas,
Make sure the size (length and breadth) is exactly the same as your canvas
map. Now go back to QGIS and change the projection properties to your
desired projection. Back in the composer, select the map you just added and
click set to map canvas extent. Your second map should now be at the same
extent as the first map except it is now projected.

All you have to do now is add a scale bar on this map and transfer it to
the map with the graticules.

This is a bit of a work around and requires that you are very careful with
how you set things up.

Let me know if this does not make sense, it works for me.
Regards,
Wesley
