If you select the other radio button, then you can specify a user-defined grid size in units corresponding to the units of the currently defined CRS of the map view (also called the 'project' CRS), e.g. If you want to work with Irishgrid references, select the Irish option. If you are working with British grid references, select the Britishradio button. The zoom button fills the entire map view with the grid square you specified, but pan sinply recentres the map on the centre of the specified square without changing the zoom level. To do so, type a grid reference into the area where the grid reference is normally displayed and click either the zoom or pan button to the right of it. You can also use the tool to locate the map at a specified grid reference. The precision of the grid reference displayed is controlled by the drop-down list at the top of the tool. If the show square checkbox is checked then the grid square corresponding to the displayed grid reference is shown in the map view. By default, this changes as the mouse moves, but this behaviour can be altered so that it changes only when the mouse is clicked in the map view by checking the on click checkbox. The grid reference at the current mouse cursor position is displayed in the tool. By default, the OSGR Tool docks initially at the bottom left of the QGIS window (below the layers panel if you have that opened and docked on the left-hand side). To start the OSGR Tool, click the relevant button on the FSC QGIS plugin toolbar. The QSGR Tool provides these functions to QGIS users, but it also provides some functionality relevant to users who work in other parts of the world. to centre a map on a given grid reference or to find the grid reference at a certain point and creating grids corresponding to OS or Irish grid squares. the location of the FSC Preston Montford bar which is easting 343292 and northing 314369, it doesn’t understand the equivalent 10 figure grid reference, which is SJ4329214369.īut biological recorders and GIS users operating in the UK and Ireland frequently need to deal with OS and Irish grid references, e.g. This means that although it understands eastings and northings perfectly well, e.g. Although it handles the British-specific CRSs very well, it does not handle the unique OS grid referencing system that we have in the UK. QGIS is international in scope and not specifically geared up for the UK context.
If you want to see the help pages for version 2.8.0 of the plugin, which was the last release compatible with version 2.n.n of QGIS, then follow this link: FSC QGIS plugin for version 2 of QGIS. This the help for version 3.n.n of the FSC QGIS plugin which is compatible with version 3.n.n of QGIS.
