History

Updated by Hien TRAN-QUANG about 1 year ago

Hello,

I have done this feature on my spare time. Here it is.
I added a combobox in the dialog, to choose a second map which will get the bounding box.
You'll find some data and the qgs file I used.

One flaw is that 1.7.4 seems broken : it cannot load QgsComposerShape. But the plugin does work with master.

Can you tell me if every think works for you?

Hien.

A precision : in fact, it can load QgsComposerShape but it doesn't know setTransparentFill method. (QGis 1.7.4 standalone/Windows XP)

I sorted it out.

Version 1.7.4 is missing some Python bindings (setTransparentFill, removeComposerItem)

SetTransparentFill is optionnal as there's no brush by default.
removeComposerItem has been replace by calling QgraphicsScene.removeItem (but no type checking as type is known)

So here is the final modified atlasdialog.py and its dialog form.
