I have installed on my Mac OSX 10.9.5 the version QGIS 2.4.  My problem is that I cannot export any OpenStreetMap with the Composer and I do not understand why. The thing is that I imported the OSM map with the OpenLayers plugin... everything normal, OK. Then I started to edit some vectors... and then I tried to export the map with the Composer... but it just does not work! I can load everything there, but when I press the export buttons, then the window becomes blank. And it creates a new .pdf for example but with 0 bytes...  Does anyone have an idea about what I did wrong, or what is wrong? I may have missed some key details that I did not know that should be done...but still...Is there any chance to have the background of the OSM map exported somehow like .pdf? What I can do?  Or better, another question, is it even possible to export the OSM imported with OpenLayers Plugin with the Composer?... or I should download the data on my computer first?

I'm having trouble with the OpenLayers Plugin of Qgis and the map composer:  If I create an OSM-background layer and if I want to export this, the OSM-Layer looks perfectly all right in the normal qgis program window. But in the map composer and after export the layer has shifted relatively to my other shape layers (EPSG:32633 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 33N).  The second thing is that the output resolution of the exported osm-layer is very, very poor.   A really bad way of getting around this whole trouble would be to increase the screen resolution and make a screenshot of the map composition window of qgis. But I don't think this would be very professional. It also would cause a lot of pain :)   I'm using Qgis 1.8.0-Lisboa under Linux. The openlayers plugin is version 0.92.

I would like to compose a large format map for printing in QGIS with the highest detail possible.  My process looks like this,    Install "QuickMapServices" plugin Click the "QuickMapServices" button and choose OSM >> OSM Standard Pan to my selection area New print layout (ctrl + p) and make a name add item >> add map (its now at the zoom where I want more detail displayed and I don't know what to do).

I would like to add texts with halo, in the composer (not in the map). Do you know a way to do it?  I'm using QGIS 2.0.1

I've just downloaded and installed the new version of QGIS 2.10.1 with GRASS 6.4.4.  When opening a new GRASS mapset and importing layers, I missed the button "Add a new vector layer". I've updated the GRASS plugin, but again the button wasn't there (all other GRASS symbols except "add raster layer" were visuable).  It's maybe a stupid question of a GIS beginner, but what can I Do? Is there an option to add (not import) a vector layer via the GRASS toolbox?

I am using QGIS 2.0 and when I try to create my map in the print composer, I cannot make the scale and the extent the way that I need it.    I need my map to be at the scale of 1:10 000. However, the map area is quite large and I need a specific x min and y max in the extent (the x max and y min do not matter).  I also need a full A4 size sheet of paper.    When I enter the scale in, the map extent is not where I need it.  If I change the extent, it either changes the scale of the map or changes the size of the map canvas in the print composer.  When I change either one of those back, the scale changes and so on and so forth.    Is there some way to lock the scale and then just move the map image inside the map canvas?

I use QGIS in my daily work, but since a few months back I'm unable to do this due the OpenLayers plugin no longer being functional. When I try to load a background map nothing happen - the canvas remains white. I have tried it on several computers and the same problem occurs. I use the latest version of QGIS (Lyon).

I wish to develop a simple plugin for QGIS, which will open some data, and perform some specific processing.  I tried searching on the QGIS wiki, but only found this link :    which seems to be obsolete. There were also a few blog posts from 2006.  I also saw something about Python plugins, but I am not sure whether I need to work with the C++ plugin or a Python plugin.  Where can I find documentation, or tutorials, that would help me get started?

I have an area which is divided into several zones the borders of which I have defined as separate layers.  The layers are defined by sql queries on a postgis table of line segments joined with a table that says which segments are part of which zone boundaries.  What I want to do is produce a set of maps where each map is a zoom to layer extent for each zone and which has standard header, legend and scale (which will preferably vary with the zone but could be fixed across all maps).  My first attempt was to get a new composer for each map -- that worked but was rather tedious.  Next I tried producing one map and printing it and then deleting the map frame and going into qgis to zoom to the next layer extent and make the boundary visible then hopping back into the composer to load it in.  This worked more or less.  Map was fine, legend was OK because it was the same for all the maps and the zone name was easy to edit but the scale needed to be deleted and set up again for each map.  Next I looked at Atlas Generation.  The manual seems to assume that you know how it works and all you need is a reminder about the details (like so many software manuals ;)  It seems to assume that you have something that you are iterating over but I can't see how to make it work -- there is nothing to iterate over to get the layers.  Any suggestions welcome!!  :)  Russell

I was using Google Maps with OpenLayers plugin in QGIS with my vector layer with projection EPSG:4326 with google map projection EPSG:3857 and "on the fly" transformation enabled.   It was matching all the vector layer with Google Maps but now it's not working.  How can I reproject Google Maps so that it matches with my vector layer as before?

After having updated to Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11), I'm no more able to compile using either TexMaker or TexShop. This is the message I get from TexShop  "/usr/texbin/pdflatex does not exist. TeXShop is  a front end for TeX, but you also need a TeX distribution. Perhaps such a distribution was not installed or was removed during a system upgrade. If so, go to  and follow the instructions to (re)install MacTeX. A less likely possibility is that a tool path is incorrectly configured in TeXShop preferences. This can happen if you are using the macports or fink distributions."  I tried to change the path in Preferences-Engine, as many suggested. Yet, it doesn't work either. Any help?

I am trying to export polygon coordinates from a shapefile to a CSV file, but so far all my attempts have failed. I have found numerous questions and answers about this, but none have solved my problem.   I have downloaded the file   www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/10m/cultural/ne_10m_admin_0_countries.zip  which is a shapefile containing a basic world map. I have imported the shapefile into QGIS by adding a vector layer, and then I try to export the polygons with coordinates for each country. The tips that I have found suggest either saving the layer by right-clicking it and then selecting Save as or opening the attribute table and copying it into Excel. If I try these I only get master information with one row for each country in the map.   Does anyone know how I can retrieve detail information for each country containing the polygons with coordinates?

For QGIS 2.2.0-Valmiera, how does one increase the label size of OpenStreetMap layer or any other basemap layer?  Presently the labels are way too small to read.  For example, I find that for the same zoom level of a map in www.openstreetmap.com vs the same map in QGIS2.2, the map in QGIS2.2 has labels much smaller than the one from www.openstreetmap.com.  For illustration, click here:

I exported my QGIS project with the qgis2web plugin as OL3.  Can I embed this folder to a wordpress homepage or can I import it to google maps and add this to WordPress?

I just updated from QGIS 1.7 to 2.0 on Mac. When I now open a project and create a map in the print composer the content of the map is lost when I open the project again later. The settings of the stored print are still ok, but the map content is not displayed. Instead it just says "Karte wird hier gedruckt" which means "map to be printed here" in English.   Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be? It always worked fine with 1.7.

I've been using QGIS for a while but since using QGIS 2 the OpenLayers plugin doesn't work for me on my home PC. However, I have installed the same version at my workplace with success. I have looked through other posts, and tried setting the CRS and allowing on the fly but it doesn't work for me.  Can anyone offer any other guidance?   I have also tried uninstall/ re-install.
