Description

In Quickprint plugin on OS X, 0.9.2 from trunk, scaling problems are apparent with the legend, title and map. Possibly dpi is not actually at default 300. Text in legend and legend symbols are quite tiny. Title text is quite large.

History

#1 Updated by mesajs - about 16 years ago

Quickprint on Windows Vista 64 bit: Labels on map features are way to large. e.g. set font to Arial 10 points, but lettering on printed map is over 5mm high, obliterating map. Not so much a problem if font size is set to map units.

Applies to versions 0.11.0-1 and 0.11.0-2

I think this is fixed with the latest changes in Quickprint. Feel free to reopen the bug if not.

The fonts appear good. I ran a test print to a large format (B1) and it worked well. The qgis logo, scalebar, and north arrow are disproportionately large compared to the rest. I've attached the example to the ticket. Is this still a scaling issue?

#4 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 15 years ago

Made the same test on QGis 1.2 on both Linux and Windows, and the problem is replicable.

On Windows text is even smaller than on linux.

Here is a link were you can downloads two pdf obtained with the same data, in B1 format, with the same font (type and size), on Linux and Windows.

See attached files.

Pushing the milestone to 1.2.

Still true?

#7 Updated by John Tull over 14 years ago

Text appears to be better for me. The qgis icon is quite large, as in the original sample file I attached.

#8 Updated by Paolo Cavallini about 14 years ago

Please note taht QuickPrint plugin will probably be removed from future versions of QGIS, as better options are available.

#9 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 13 years ago

Would 1.7 release the right time to remove QuickPrint and close this bug?

#10 Updated by John Tull over 13 years ago

I'm happy to see this changed to wontfix if so.

I've removed this plugin with f6c16778 (SVN r15314). Users wanting similar functionality should use the QuickPrint plugin rather.

Thanks

Correction I meant to say "Users wanting similar functionality should use the EasyPrint plugin rather."
