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.
