[Qgis-user] Different vertical and horizontal scales

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,
Yes.  All pixel that are in Lat/Lon are rectangular but look square on 
the screen if projected in Lat/Lon.  They will look like rectangles if 
reprojected in meter (using projection on the fly). Be careful when 
saving the file in an other projection.  If you don't specify the number 
of pixels, QGIS will try to change the pixel shape to squares.
