Pozi supports multi-line map titles. Despite the small size of the Title box in the side panel, you can type in long titles, including multiple lines.

Options

Add Statistics

Print an additional page that contains statistics for any active vector layer. Pozi will generate statistics based on any numerical fields for any features within the map bounds.

A table page for each layer will be added to the printout. The tables will include the following columns:

  • Field Name: the name of the field
  • Total: the sum of all values in the field
  • Average: the average of all values in the field

Save

The current Pozi map view can be exported to an image file. Go to the Tools panel in Pozi and select Print/Save.


When selected, the option to Save map as image will download the map as a PNG file. In addition, and will reveal the option to save a corresponding world file.


If this button is pushed, a .pngw file will also be downloaded that contains georeference information about the image.

The image and the world file will have the same name but different extensions. So if the image file is 20240906073714.png, the world file created will be called 20240906073714.pngw.

Adding to QGIS

To add the image to your QGIS project, you can use the following steps.

In QGIS, click Layer -> Add Layer -> Add Raster Layer.. to open the following dialog:

Navigate to the downloaded PNG file, and then click the Add button. Then click the Close button

You might see a warning message that the CRS for the image is undefined, if you have QGIS set to Prompt for CRS (see below).

In any case, the world file (.PNGW file) will be applied to the image as long as it is in the same directory as the PNG file.

To correctly project the image, the new layers projection should be set to EPSG:3857. This can either be done when prompted, or by clicking on the question mark next to the layer in the Layer Panel. Depending on any other layers that are currently open in QGIS, it may correctly guess the projection without requiring the CRS to be set.


In the dialog box that presents, filtering to 3857 will limit the list to the relevant projection. Then select WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator in the highlighted box and push the OK button.


Depending on the project based CRS that is currently defined, the image may disappear from view and/or appear distorted once the layer CRS has been set. In order to remove distortion, set the project based CRS to WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator by clicking on the EPSG setting in the bottom-right corner of the screen. If the image is still out of view the Zoom to Layer or Previous Zoom functionality of QGIS can be used to zoom to the correct location.
