QGIS support

GBD WebSuite offers dedicated support for QGIS, a free and open source geographic information system. The support is optional, and can be turned off if you don’t use QGIS.

Our QGIS module allows you to

• display complete QGIS projects (.qgs) as layers in your GWS project (see Layers)

• embed specific QGIS layers into your GWS projects

• use QGIS templates for printing (see Printing)

In the server configuation (Server configuration) there are a few options that set the values of QGIS environment variables. Refer to the QGIS documentation for their specific meaning:

debug	QGIS_DEBUG
maxCacheLayers	MAX_CACHE_LAYERS
serverCacheSize	QGIS_SERVER_CACHE_SIZE
serverLogLevel	QGIS_SERVER_LOG_LEVEL

The searchPathsForSVG option tells where to find svg images used in your QGIS projects and print templates. If you use non-standard SVG images, just add a directory path for them to this setting.
