[Qgis-developer] tabbed monitors

[Germán Carrillo]

Hi all.

The approach of the maps connected is indeed close to the Mirror map plugin
from Aaron Racicot [1]. Maybe it lacks a way of set the symbology for the
layers in the new map (qml?). I guess a legend for each map could be a good
idea, hiding it at first and then showing it from a button. The legend of
the new maps could be just to set the order of the layers and its properties
(state, symbology, more?).

I don't know what is the difference between this and the tabbed interface.
Maybe the last could be to allow two different data sets on the same QGIS
session.

Just to contribute.

Germán
