[Qgis-developer] printing branch ready for testing

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Marco

One thing I also wanted to ask - some time ago on this list we
discussed the mapcomposer overhaul and one of the ideas was to provide
a separate library component (to go into gui lib) and then a part in
app that makes use of this and handles user interaction. Is this still
possible? I would like to update the quickprint plugin to use your new
composer code but from basic looking through your changes I dont see a
way to do this without refactoring composer stuff. Failing that I will
probably try to repair it or remove it or disable it (since it has
been broken since render context stuff came into trunk I think). I
think there is still a strong usecase for having something like
quickprint where users basically press a button and get a print ready
map, so in an ideal world I'd like to not remove it. Do you have any
thoughts on the matter?

Best regards

Tim
