[Qgis-developer] "Jump" to coordinates possible?

[Etienne Tourigny]

Hi,

see various panning/extent functions in qgsmaplayer

http://www.qgis.org/api/classQgsMapCanvas.html

You would probably want to use setExtent(), by calculating the
rectangle you want, centered on your point of interest.

Also see the qgis cookbook map canvas section

cheers
Etienne
