[Qgis-user] Wall Map

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi Charles,

you set the physical size of your printout in the "composition" tag. 
Extent and scale of the map are set in the "Item Properties" when the 
map is activated. If you need a 1:1 scale of your printout, print into 
pdf and visualize with 100%. Especially text size is shown as e.g. 10pt 
in the print composer and thus seems to be too huge if you want to print 
large maps.

hope this helps

Bernhard
