[Qgis-user] WMS-T printing issue

[Giovanni Manghi]

Hi Freddy,

many standard WMS servers do not allow to download images bigger than a
certain size, this is the reason why there are usually no problems to
create a large size layout on screen (because it is at 72dpi) but then
it results in a blank image when printing or exporting to pdf (at high
resolutions).

Since qgis 1.7 when connecting to a WMS server you can manually set the
maximum "tile" size to be requested. This allow to overcome the server
limits.

This option is not available (as it does not makes sense) when the
server is recognized as a tilecache one (the layers are shown in the
"tilesets" tab).

Cheers
