[Qgis-user] Print layout rectangle not working properly

[Nigel Berjak - General]

Hi Asim

Before delving into any coding issues, I wonder whether this may simply 
be related to the layout page size and the map element shape, which is 
not the same proportions as your extent that you are aiming to set. If 
you are not requiring a specific map element size and this can be 
variable, then perhaps resize the element based upon your coordinates 
rather than the layout dimensions, as you are doing in the final line. 
To test if my thinking is sound, stop your code after the line 
map.setExtent(rectangle) and repaint the layout. If this works, then try 
resize the map element before setting the coordinates and try again. I 
suspect that it will be fine using approach 1 but one of your coordinate 
ranges i.e. X or Y will be amended due to, as I mentioned, the map shape 
not conforming to the coordinates shape.

I hope this helps.
