Hello,<br>
I was wondering if it is possible to generate projected Lat-Long<br>
graticules for non-geographic projections (eg Lambert, Sterographic<br>
etc) within the print composer? If not, is this going to be an option in<br>
a later version?<br>
Cheers<br>

Most of the responses to date have focused on the print composer.<br>
<br>
Another option is to create you standard non-geographical map in UTM, Lambert or whatever.<br>
<br>
Turn on reproject on the fly.<br>
<br>
Then, add a new vector file representing the boundaries of the gradicules you require.<br>
<br>
If viewed in this vectors native projection it the grid would have parallel lines but when reprojected it curves as you would expect.<br>
<br>
See Figure 4 on my tutorial on "Datums and Coordinate Systems used in South-eastern Australia -- this is a good example of the technique.<br>
<br>

<br>
I have 5' and 10' grids for Australia that I created using Sextante, which is now available in QGIS.<br>
<br>
So in summary, rather than use the print composer to put gradicules on, add the gradicule as a vector file like any other vector file.<br>
<br>
The only issue is that you need to insert labels yourself in places that make sense within the map -- rather than external to the 'map proper' as you would expect in a gradicule created by the print composer.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
