QGIS QuickPrint Plugin

The QGIS QuickPrint plug-in provides a simple way to quickly create a pdf from the map as shown in the map pane. The map is not just a screenshot, but a real map with a title, subtitle, scalebar, date, attribution and remarks.

In this way you get a decent print without the hassle of setting up and using print templates.

You can choose between A3 and A4 paper sizes and between portrait and landscape paper orientation.

Via the settings you can change font and font size, date formatting and add a logo to the map. A default attribution and remark can also be set. This is explained in the help.

Please refer to metadata.txt for source code repository and bug tracking.

qgis_quickprint's Issues

Feature Request: ANSI Paper Sizes

I'd love to be able to use this plugin with common/standard ANSI paper sizes, much like the two A_ paper sizes you've included.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Scale bar in English units

My project distance units are set to feet.
Is it possible to either turn off the scale bar or have the scale drawn in English rather than metric units?

question about aligning map items

Great code, it is helping me come up with a print layout for my project.

One thing I am trying to do is align map items to the bottom of the map of my layout. In my case I would like to align the bottom of my legend with the bottom of the map border in my layout.

Do you have any idea how to do this? I have tried to set the reference point to the bottom left, but I cannot get it to to work for some reason. I also tried getting the height of my legend, ex: legend.sizeWithUnits().height()

but for some reason it only is able to print out the height after the map is exported. I was hoping to add the height of the legend item and add to it the margin between the bottom border of the map and the bottom of the page to set the correct height of the legend (assuming the reference point is the top left); but I cannot get this to work. Any help is appreciated.

Legend in the map

It would be very useful to have a simple legend in the map that includes active layers (or a selection of them)

Help fails to open

Working in QGIS 2.14.15 with Windows 10, I click on Help, and there is no response, no help page opens.

in QGIS3 help won't open in windows

Under Linux things work fine

the North arrow is missing

Very useful qgis plug-in !
It just misses the North arrow so that the map created respects all the cartography rules

messageBar().pushMessage signature changed

Hi,
using QGis 2.99.0-Master 6c64c5a586 there is an error on line :
self.iface.messageBar().pushMessage("Info", "Saved as pdf: %s" % self.dlg.pdfFileNameBox.displayText() ,self.iface.messageBar().INFO)
QgsMessageBar' object has no attribute 'INFO'

It seems that message level is now defined in Qgis class :

void QgsMessageBar::pushMessage | ( | const QString & | text, Qgis::MessageLevel level = Qgis::Info,
int duration = 5 )

Actions en Toolbars are not removed when reloading/updating

When you upgrade the plugin the old actions/toolbars are not removed.

Seems like something is going wrong as the clean up of the plugins is being done in:

https://github.com/MarcoDuiker/QGIS_QuickPrint/blob/master/quick_print3.py#L200

via the actions in self.actions, but that only works when you CREATE those action via the add_action method:
https://github.com/MarcoDuiker/QGIS_QuickPrint/blob/master/quick_print3.py#L105

If you create your actions/toolbars yourself, you are also responsible for the cleanup.
