I have a problem modifying the map I created in QGIS. I need to add some text on the map and axis labels. Apparently, labels cannot be rotated in qgis, so this I need to do in inkscape or in a related programme.
- If I export the map as pdf, I cannot adjust the font size for the "tick marks" (lat and long values) according to the guidelines of the journal I want to submit my article to.
- I discovered the simplesvg tool, which gives a very nice resolution map, but then I don't have the coordinates along the borders of the map (or is there a way with this tool?)
Is there someone that can help me? I'm getting pretty desperate.. :s
Thanks!
