[Qgis-developer] QGIS maptips and HTML-display

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi,

 In the context of the recent discussions around the hotlink plugin:

 Wouldn't it be fun if HTML would be supported in QGIS maptips and they 
 would be displayed with a Webkit instance?

 That way we could display images located on the web in the maptips and 
 we could also include little charts and our own text with the charting 
 library of choice on our webserver.

 I checked recently and it seems like rich-text formatting is supported 
 (e.g. <p/>, <br/>, <b/>, etc.) but not full HTML.

 Would it technically possible to display a Webkit instance instead of 
 the traditional maptip?

 Of course it would also be cool if the new expression engine would be 
 supported in the maptips ...

 Just dreaming loud,

 Andreas
