[Qgis-user] Print Composer: formatting UTM coordinates

[Uwe Fischer]

Hi list,

 

does anybody know a way to get custom formatted UTM coordinates in a grid
frame around the map? I have tested all the options in print composer and
yet could not find what I am looking for. The problem is that UTM
coordinates have 6 to 8 digits that don't change much along a large scale
map (eg 1:10.000). That results in ugly long, bad readable numbers with
changes only in their middle digits and with many trailing zeros at the
right.

 

It would be nice to have a number format like in older german topographic
maps, that is: printing the leftmost digits ("big values") just once at the
map corners (or when they change), formatted as smaller superscript index.
Printing the interesting middle digits with only one decimal at every tick
mark (eg every 500 meters). Avoiding trailing zeroes. I hope that describes
what I mean.

 

Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

 

Regards, Uwe
