| Choose the units appropriate for the layers in the project. | |
| Use the manual setting to set the precision of the display in the status bar. As the mouse is moved over the map canvas, the coordinates are updated and displayed in the status bar using the precision you choose. Automatic (the default) results in a default precision based on the map units. | |
| The option enables editing and maintaining common boundaries in polygon mosaics. Editing a vertex in shared boundary will result in updating both boundaries. To avoid digitizing all vertices of the common boundary select . In the dialog window tick appropriate layers to which the new polygon will be adjusted. Draw the new polygon in the way it overlap the existing one, it will be cut automatically. allows you to set the snapping tolerance in pixels or map units and the snapping mode: , , for every layer separately. |
To use 'on the fly' CRS transformation, click the check box. Then choose the projection for the project (map canvas) from the list of Geographic or Projected coordinate systems.
You can find a coordinate system by entering its name, EPSG code or the QGIS ID and clicking the button.
The list of recently used coordinate systems will be available on the bottom for quick access.
