<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I don't know of any tutorial, but, maybe we can help.</div><div><br></div><div>Atlas generation allows you to, for one single map in your print composer map, create a set of similar maps, but with different extents, labels\titles and even <a href="http://nyalldawson.net/2013/04/a-neat-trick-in-qgis-2-0-images-in-atlas-prints/">images</a> (e.g., a company logo). All this dynamic info must be in a already loaded layer.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Lets say you need to make a map for each of your municipality's green parks, having a layer with each park boundaries and it's name.</div><div><br></div><div>- Start by preparing a map like if it's for a single park in the print composer. Add a map, a title or two, a legend and so on.</div>
<div>- Then go to the atlas generation tab, tick the "generate atlas".</div><div>- In composer map choose your main map (if you only have one generally its map 0),</div><div>- For coverage map select your green parks layer.</div>
<div><br></div><div>From now on, when you try to output you map in any format (Print or export), QGIS will iterate over your Green park features, zoom or pan your map to each, and produce a individual output (a file or a print) for it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Of course various configurations can be made to fit your needs, like choose if you want a fixed scale or a zoom to each feature, change each map title with the green park name field.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Like explained in the user manual, you can also use any of the coverage fields in your map labels. </div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps,</div><div><br></div><div>Alexandre Neto</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

<br>
I encounter difficulties to understand the Atlas generation.<br>
<br>
I read the user manual related to this fonctionnality (<a href="http://documentation.qgis.org/2.0/html/en/docs/user_manual/print_composer/print_composer.html#atlas-generation" target="_blank">http://documentation.qgis.<u></u>org/2.0/html/en/docs/user_<u></u>manual/print_composer/print_<u></u>composer.html#atlas-generation</a><u></u>) but it is still fuzzy for me. Is there a complete tutorial or a sample somewhere ? I saw this link <a href="http://www.oslandia.com/tech/?p=1079" target="_blank">http://www.oslandia.com/tech/?<u></u>p=1079</a> but it is broken.<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for your help.<br>
<br>
