>/2. When adding a new WMS layer. Could anybody explain what does the
Step Size mean? when to use it? What is "contextual WMS legend" when
to use it? /
For these I'm not clear, but I think these are related to tiled-WMS (in which
you are not trying to get one image, but you request them in parts like 256x256
pixels).
I'm not sure what 'stepsize' is... others?
Hi Richard, Robert and list,
the "Request step size" option has been introduced by Jürgen E. Fischer
[1] [2] [3].
The missing description of this option in the user guide / manual was
raised by me some time ago in the QGIS Documentation repository on
GitHub [4] but no one was able to find an explanation of it [5].
A contextual legend is (I think) a legend which changes based on the zoom level
or area you are in.
It's possible to find more information about the contextual WMS legend:
- in the user guide: "you can activate checkbox Use contextual WMS
Legend if the WMS Server supports this feature. Then only the relevant
legend for your current map view extent will be shown and thus will not
include legend items for items you can’t see in the current map." [6]
- in an answer to a question to gis.stackexchange [7]
- in the feature request / enhancement proposals / pull request [8]
Best regards.
