What is it?

It's a graphical plugin which exposes a bunch of map tools to grab useful informations from the underlying map. Simple, easy, extensible.

• Show typical WMS GetMap request parameters, ready to me appended to your WMS request
• OSM, Google Maps, Bing Maps, Wikipedia links
• Realvista aerial photos (only for Italy)

Point tool

2. Unzip in your QGIS plugins folder
3. Enable the plugin inside QGIS

NOTE: In case you download from the zip, rename the extracted folder to "infotools"

You can customize the output from the tools. Edit the templates under templates/ folder:

• templates/rect.py: Template for rectangular tool
• templates/point.py: Template for point tool

The following variables are available:

• rect.py:

• 'xmin': BBOX minimum X

• 'ymin': BBOX minimum Y

• 'xmax': BBOX maximum X

• 'ymax': BBOB maximum Y

• 'cx': BBOX center X

• 'cy': BBOX center Y

• 'geowidth': BBOX geographical width (in project CRS)

• 'geoheight': BBOX geographical height (in project CRS)

• 'grwidth': Graphical width (pixels)

• 'grheight': Graphical height (pixels)

• 'mapunits': Map units

• 'crs': Project CRS

• 'visiblelayers' : List of visible layers

• 'xMinWGS84': BBOX minimum X (EPSG:4326)

• 'yMinWGS84': BBOX minimum Y (EPSG:4326)

• 'xMaxWGS84': BBOX maximum X (EPSG:4326)

• 'yMaxWGS84': BBOB maximum Y (EPSG:4326)

• 'unitsperpixel': Map units per pixel

• 'z': Slippy Maps/Google Mercator zoom level (best fit for BBOX)

• 'x': BBOX center X (EPSG:3857)

• 'y': BBOX center Y (EPSG:3857)

• point.py:

• 'cx': Point X

• 'cy': Point Y

• 'lat': Point Latitude (EPSG:4326)

• 'lon': Point Longitude (ESPG:4326)

• 'z': Slippy Maps/Google Mercator zoom level (best fit for BBOX)

• 'x': BBOX center X (EPSG:3857)

• 'y': BBOX center Y (EPSG:3857)

Roadmap

The next tools I will add are WKT from features, draw points/lines/polygons and get WKT and KML. Anything useful will be added. If you want to add you own do not esitate to contribute ;)
