[Qgis-user] Atlas Generation

[Håvard Tveite]

Hi,

The following procedure works for me (QGIS 3.12).

0) I assume that the map for the "report" is already prepared.

1) Create a new report (*Project-> New Report*).

2) In the *Report Organizer*, add a *Field Group Section*
    under *Report* by pressing the green plus-button (+) and
    selecting *Field Group Section*.

3) Make sure that "Group" is selected in the *Report Organizer*,
    and select your point layer in *Layer*.

4) Select a field (from that layer) for sorting (*Field*).

5) Check *Include body* and click the *Edit* button to the right.

    If you right-click in the white "sheet" that shows up on the
    gray canvas, you can set the page size and orientation.
    Specify "Custom" with a *Width* of 200 mm and a *Height* of
    200 mm in *Item Properties* to the right.

6) Add your map (Add Item-> Add Map, by dragging out the rectangle
    for it on the canvas).

7) In the *Item Properties* of the map, select your preferred
    map *Scale*.

8) Scroll down and check *Controlled by Report*. *Fixed scale*
    will be the selected (and, for point layers, only possible)
    option.

9) Export your map to PDF and check the results
    (I get 20cm x 20 cm pages)

hopefully this also works with QGIS 3.4 and 3.10.
