draws a layer, then the next, applying a Z offset to each
layer as it renders them, building the stack. You can use
pstext to add text for each layer (which can be on the page -
does not have to be in the map extent. At the end ps2raster
can convert the postscript to bitmap which you cam add to your
layout in the QGIS composer.<br>

[Qgis-user] Creating oblique views of QGIS layers<br>
</font> </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1421601829016_2988"
class="y_msg_container"><br>
Hi,<br>
I need to create a "layer stack" view of some QGIS vector
data.<br>
Is there a way to do this in QGIS?<br>
<br>
(Rather like what you get when you Google "Images of GIS
layer")<br>
<br>
<br>
I want it for a printed map view, and be in place of a
traditional 'Key' <br>
in the one corner of the map plot.<br>
<br>
Regards & TIA,<br>
Zoltan<br>
