[Qgis-user] Custom preset format page for print layouts

[Christophe Besuchet]

Hi Thomas,

Thanks a bunch for your answer and your code. It works like a charm!

However, I'm really bad at coding and I'm not sure why some lines are commented; since your code works without uncommenting these lines, can you tell me what's their purpose?

Cheers,

Golok
