fix legendLayerZoomNative to use diagonal of source raster pixel

to match the use of the diagonal of mapCanvas pixel.
Also fix spelling in a comment.

I have realized that the resulting scale is the square root of 2 larger than it should be, which gave me a clue.
The problem comes from the calculation for the ratio to zoom by - the 'width' of reprojected pixel is actually the diagonal of the pixel, but the raster pixel width is just the x distance

It appears the intent is to use the diagonal, but the raster layer doesn't provide the y raster units per pixel.

A simple fix is to just use the x distance.
line 1843 in QgsLegend could be

double width = qAbs( p1.x() - p2.x() ); // width of reprojected pixel

instead of
double width = sqrt( p1.sqrDist( p2 ) ); // width of reprojected pixel

I have tried this.

Here is a better way to fix.

My proposed fix involves adding two functions to QgsRasterLayer:
  • rasterUnitsPerPixelX()
  • rasterUnitsPerPixelY()

and using these in QgsLegend::legendLayerZoomNative() to calculate the diagonal distance of a raster pixel.

This is good preparation for the future in handling non-square pixels.

The X and Y raster units per pixel values are already handled in QgsRasterLayer, so it is just a matter of providing API functions for use by other modules.

As rasterUnitsPerPixel() already returns the X value it is changed to call rasterUnitsPerPixelX() to avoid duplicate code.

Perhaps rasterUnitsPerPixel() could be removed at some point; its use probably should be deprecated.

I have also included Python interface functions.

During a process of qualifying recent versions of QGIS I find that the" Zoom to best scale (100%)" still is not working correctly (or has reverted -- I'm not sure as I had been using a personal modified version from before v. 1.8). This is when OTF is enabled.

An example is an aerial photo at 1m ground sample distance is zoomed to 1:2673 rather than 1:3780 that would be proper for a 96dpi display.

The problem is due to a calculation error in QgisApp::legendLayerZoomNative() where the screen pixel size is determined by the square root of the squares of the x and y distances, but the raster layer pixel size is just the x distance.

Here is a reworking of the previously supplied patch.
in qgisapp.cpp:
at or about line 7622:

      mMapCanvas->zoomByFactor( qAbs( layer->rasterUnitsPerPixelX() / width ) );

change to:

      mMapCanvas->zoomByFactor( sqrt( layer->rasterUnitsPerPixelX() * layer->rasterUnitsPerPixelX() + layer->rasterUnitsPerPixelY() * layer->rasterUnitsPerPixelY() ) / width );

This takes square root of the quantity of the squares of the X and Y raster pixel distances added, the same as is done for the display pixel.

many thanks for this patch. I would like to suggest to submit it as a Pull Request on github, otherwise here there is the real risk to be overlooked by core devs. Cheers!
