[Qgis-developer] QEP about Multimap support for QGIS

Mon Aug 29 02:45:23 PDT 2016

Hi, there is not problem with this. Simply I did the minor work as possible :-)
Yes, we could show a new item menu with all canvas currently created and then the user define which of them to synchronize.

If I could sync to a specific map, I would be able to setup four maps where they sync in pairs.    Regards, Casper    From: Qgis-developer [mailto:qgis-developer-bounces at lists.osgeo.org]On Behalf Of A Huarte

Subject: Re: [Qgis-developer] QEP about Multimap support for QGIS    Thanks Tim! You are right, there will be many code with this assumption. It is true that I have only reviewed the main tools in QGIS, but these changes have been small or zero. At least we can know with this commit the amount de changes to do in the main application (100 files edited, some of them with minimum changes).       Regards    Alvaro    De: Tim Sutton <tim at kartoza.com>

Asunto: Re: [Qgis-developer] QEP about Multimap support for QGIS    Hi    Alvaro I also think this would be very interesting to add - and timely to get into QGIS 3.0. Looking forward to hearing opinions from other devs. I expect there will be many many corner cases you will have to deal with where there is currently an implicit assumption that only 1 canvas exists....    Regards    Tim

Asunto: Re: [Qgis-developer] QEP about Multimap support for QGIS    Hi, Really nice feature in my opinion. Out of curiosity: would it be possible to split Map 1 and Map 2 between two different screens? It would be really nice to be able to drag Map 2's window to a second screen. Thanks Cheers       On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 2:36 AM, A Huarte<ahuarte47 at yahoo.es> wrote:

 Hi devs, I have developed an experimental code to support more than one map in QGIS. I created a video showing the features implemented (https://vimeo.com/179982647 ).    The main features are:       
   - New user option to enable multi map canvas mode.
   - QGIS has one no closeable default map, and 0-N extra dockable maps.
   - Full integration of maps in legend using a new map legend node for each map.
   - Print composer supports layouts with different maps.
   - New legend menu option to synchronize the extent of maps.
   - Map tools and plugins work with the current selected map (The signals and slots to the map canvas are updated with an automatic mechanism of synchronization to minimize the migration of code and to preserve behavior).
    I'm aware that this is a big change in QGIS, and I am sure that this capability must be debated by many people (project and developer leaders...) before writing any code. Because of that, I have not created any QEP entry in the https://github.com/qgis/ QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals  page.     I developed it to learn QGIS core and it will have work to do (plugins and tools). But it runs fine, and it was funny :-). If at least, it is useful for a day to implement this capability in QGIS or to see the amount of changes needed, I am satisfied.          github: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/ compare/master...ahuarte47: Feature_MultimapView    video: Multi Map Canvas for QGIS
