プリントコンポーザ
The print composer provides growing layout and printing capabilities. It allows
you to add elements such as the QGIS map canvas, text labels, images, legends, scalebars, basic
shapes, arrows, attribute tables and HTML frames. You can size, group, align and position each
element and adjust the properties to create your layout. The layout can be printed
or exported to image formats, Postscript, PDF or to SVG (export to SVG is not
working properly with some recent Qt4 versions, you should try and check
individual on your system). You can save the layout as template and load it again
in another session. Finally, generating several maps based on a template can be done throught the Atlas generator

Table Composer 1: プリントコンポーザツール
すべてのプリントコンポーザツールはメニューとツールバーアイコンから利用できます.ツールバーはマウスをツールバーの上に置いた状態で右ボタンで表示、非表示を切り替えることができます.
最初のステップ
新しいプリントコンポーザテンプレートを開く
Before you start to work with the print composer, you need to load some raster
and vector layers in the QGIS map canvas and adapt their properties to suit your
own convenience. After everything is rendered and symbolized to your liking,
click the New Print Composer icon in the toolbar or
choose . You will be prompt to
choose a title for the new composer.
プリントコンポーザを利用する
Opening the print composer provides you with a blank canvas to which you can add
the current QGIS map canvas, text labels, images, legends, scalebars, basic
shapes, arrows, attribute tables and HTML frames. Figure_composer_1 shows the initial view of the print composer with an
activated Snap to grid mode but before any elements are
added.
Figure Composer 1:
プリントコンポーザは4つのタブで構成されています。
コンポーザーには複数のエレメントを追加できます. 複数の地図や凡例やスケールバーをプリントコンポーザキャンバスに配置したり,単一か複数のページを構成することもできます. それぞれのエレメントは独自のプロパティを持ち,地図の場合は独自の領域をもてます. 任意のエレメントをコンポーザキャンバスから削除したい場合If Delete または Backspace キーで可能です.
コンポジションタブ — 一般的なコンポジションのセットアップ
コンポジション タブで、コンポジションの全体的な設定を定義できます。
用紙の設定は Presets からの選択か width と height に独自の値を設定することで指定できます..
- Composition can now be parted on several pages. For instance, a first page can show a map canvas and a second
page will show the attribute table associated to a layer while a third ons shows a HTML frame linking to your organization website.
Set the Number of pages to the desired value.
ページの 方向 と 出力解像度 を指定して下さい
- When checked, the print as raster means all elements will be rasterized before printing or saving as Postscript or
PDF.
Snap to grid と Snap to alignements ツールを使うと作業を簡単にすることができます. Dots, Solid lines and Crosses の3タイプのグリッドを利用できます. spacings, offsets と color を必要に応じて調整できます.
Selection tolerance ではアイテムがグリッドにスナップする最大距離を定義できます.
- Snap to alignements shows helping lines when the borders or axis of two items are aligned.
コンポーザーアイテムの一般的なオプション
Composer items have a set of common properties you will find on the bottom of the Item Properties tab: Position and size, Frame,
Background, Item ID and Rendering (See figure_composer_2)
Figure Composer 2:
レンダリングモード
QGIS ベクタやラスタレイヤと同じように先進的なレンダリングがコンポーザーアイテムでも行えるようになりました.
Figure Composer 3:
Transparency : you can make the underlying item in the composer
visible with this tool. Use the slider to adapt the visibility of your item to your needs.
You can also make a precise definition of the percentage of visibility in the the menu beside the slider.
Blending mode: you can achieve special rendering effects with these tools that you
previously only know from graphics programs. The pixels of your overlaying and underlaying items are mixed
through the settings described below.
- Normal: This is the standard blend mode which uses the alpha channel of the top pixel to blend with the Pixel beneath it; the colors aren’t mixed
- Lighten: It selects the maximum of each component from the foreground and background pixels. Be aware that the results tend to be jagged and harsh.
- Screen: Light pixels from the source are painted over the destination, while dark pixels are not. This mode is most useful for mixing the texture of one layer with another layer. E.g. you can use a hillshade to texture another layer
- Dodge: Dodge will brighten and saturate underlying pixels based on the lightness of the top pixel. So brighter top pixels cause the saturation and brightness of the underlying pixels to increase. This works best if the top pixels aren’t too bright, otherwise the effect is too extreme.
- Addition: This blend mode simply adds pixel values of one layer with the other. In case of values above 1 (in the case of RGB), white is displayed. This mode is suitable for highlighting features.
- Darken: Creates a resultant pixel that retains the smallest components of the foreground and background pixels. Like lighten, the results tend to be jagged and harsh
- Multiply: It multiplies the numbers for each pixel of the top layer with the corresponding pixel for the bottom layer. The results are darker pictures.
- Burn: Darker colors in the top layer causes the underlying layers to darken. Can be used to tweak and colorise underlying layers.
- Overlay: Combines multiply and screen blending modes. In the resulting picture light parts of the picture become lighter and dark parts become darker.
- Soft light: Very similar to overlay, but instead of using multiply/screen it uses color burn/dodge. This one is supposed to emulate shining a soft light onto an image.
- Hard light: Hard light is very similar to the overlay mode. It’s supposed to emulate projecting a very intense light onto an image.
- Difference: Difference subtracts the top pixel from the bottom pixel or the other way round, to always get a positive value. Blending with black produces no change, as values for all colors are 0.
- Subtract: This blend mode simply subtracts pixel values of one layer with the other. In case of negative values, black is displayed.

地図の生成
プリントコンポーザーは自動的に地図帳を作成する一般的な機能を含みます。そのコンセプでトは、ジオメトリとフィールドを含むカバレッジレイヤを使用します。カバレッジレイヤの各ジオメトリについて、現在のジオメトリを強調するためにキャンバスマップの内容が移動する場所に生成します。。このジオメトリに関連するフィールドは、テキスト·ラベル内で使用することができます。
There can only be one atlas map by print composer but this one can contain multiple pages.
Every pages will be generated with each feature. To enable the generation
of an atlas and access generation parameters, refer to the Atlas generation
tab. This tab contains the following widgets (see Figure_composer_29):
Figure Composer 29:
In order to adapt labels to the feature the atlas plugin iterates over, use a label with this special notation
[%expression using field_name%].
For example, with a city layer with fields CITY_NAME and ZIPCODE, you could insert this :
“[% ‘The area of ‘ || upper(CITY_NAME) || ‘,’ || ZIPCODE || ‘ is ‘ format_number($area/1000000,2) || ‘ km2’ %]“
And that would result in the generated atlas as
“The area of PARIS,75001 is 1.94 km2”.
生成
The atlas generation is done when the user asks for a print or an export. The behaviour of these functions will be slightly changed if an atlas map has been selected. For instance, when the user asks for an export to PDF, if an atlas map is defined, the user will be asked for a directory where to save all the generated PDF files (except if the Single file export when possible has been selected).
出力の作成
Figure_composer_30 shows the print composer with an example print layout
including each type of map element described in the sections above.
Figure Composer 30:
プリントコンポーザでは多彩な種類の出力形式を利用でき、それぞれの解像度(印刷品質)と紙のサイズを指定できます:
印刷 アイコンを使うと接続されたプリンタかインストールされているプリンタドライバに依存したPostscriptファイルを出力し、レイアウトを印刷することができます。
- The Export as image icon exports the composer
canvas in several image formats such as PNG, BPM, TIF, JPG,...
:sup:`PDFとして出力`では定義されているプリントコンポーザをPDFに直接出力します。
:sup:`SVGとして出力`アイコンを使うとプリントコンポーザキャンバスをSVG (Scalable Vector Graphic)として保存できます。
ノート
Currently the SVG output is very basic. This is not a QGIS problem, but a
problem of the underlaying Qt library. This will hopefully be sorted out in
future versions.
Export big raster can sometimes fail, even if there seems to be enough memory.
This is also a problem of the underlaying Qt management of raster.
コンポーザの管理
With the Save as template and
Load from template icons you can save the current state of a print composer
session as a .qpt template and load the template again in another session.
The Composer Manager button in the QGIS toolbar
and in allows to add a new composer
template, create a new composition based on a previously saved template or to manage
already existing templates.
Figure Composer 31:
デフォルトでコンポーザマネージャはユーザテンプレートを ~/.qgis2/composer_template で探します.
The New Composer and Duplicate Composer
buttons in the QGIS toolbar and in and
allow to open a new composer dialog, or to
duplicate an existing composition from a previously created one.
Finally you can save your print composition with the Save Project button.
This is the same feature as in the QGIS main window. All changes will be saved in a QGIS project
file.
