[Qgis-user] map frame questions

[Luca Galuppini]

Dear Andreas and Ujaval
i could accomplish quite easily 2 of the 3 goals i had with the frame thing.
as per my wish to write coordinates in thousands format,i couldnt do it
unless using some complex workaround. it would be great to have a button
for building expression also near to the items in the print composer menu
(in my case, near the reticules>write coordinates>format menu), that would
make things a lot easier. is it a feature scheduled for next qgis version?
most pro maps frames dont read the whole metric coordinates like 1234000 N
or 567000 E:they only have thousands (1234, 567) and some even have smaller
and bigger numbers,see for example:

or:

it would be great to do the same in qgis out of the box, without graphic
postprocessing!
