Display Lat/Lon Grid?

[Sokolowski]

Folks,

Not so sure how to display a lat/lon grid on the main GIS window and on the map composer window ??

Thanx

If you want a graticule, then there is such function in fTools ("Vector" in main menu) or you can download some here. And as I know similar function is also in the Map composer.

This is what, putting a lat/lon grid (graticule) onto a projected map? As Jan suggested, I think you'll have to make your grid using Vector -> Reseach Tools -> Vector grid. Then save it as WGS84 lat/lon (EPSG:4326) and let it reproject on-the-fly in your project. Perhaps it might be preferable to make a polygon grid rather than a line grid, to minimise distortion. I suppose you could also explode a polygon grid to points, in case you wanted to plot the graticule intersections as little crosses.

I haven't tried any of this, mind .
