Day 24 of #24daysofqgis: A brand new "Layouts Engine" to replace Print Composer, with sooo many new features that we can only showcase a few! E.g. easily distribute and resize a selection... (Coded by @northroadgeo, thanks to funding from numerous crowd funders!) #qgisadvent
...and snapping which works when creating new items...
...or how about a handy context menu, with actions for common tasks like grouping/ungrouping items?..
...there's also better support for non-millimetre units (including pixel-based layouts!)...
...and one of our favourites... non-blocking map updates! (making print layout creation so much much enjoyable for complex maps)...
...also a much more flexible and usable arrow item..
...phew! That's just six of the hundreds of improvements introduced by the new print layout engine, coming your way in #qgis 3.0. Our thanks to all the generous crowd funding backers who made this work possible!
