Video #88
In this 4min 15sec video I demonstrate the "Decorations" in QGIS. This is where objects such as grids and north arrows can be added to the canvas and remain locked in place i.e. the map extents may change, but those decorations remain in the same position. This is useful to display scalebars for example.
The Decorations function in QGIS does not create objects that you can click on and edit. Changes to those items are made in the config dialog.
In the video I add:
- A grid
- A north arrow
- A scalebar
- A title to place at the top of the canvas
and finally a Logo ( .svg) in the bottom left corner.
