''' Made by Klas Karlsson Uses a polygon layer with suitable patch sized rectangles at representative areas. The table must have three columns. 1. id 2. Label text (any name but [string]) 3. Rotation (if you want to tweak the patch [float] should be default 0.0) Before you run the script from the python consol in QGIS: - Turn the layer visibility off (unless you want to show it in the patches) - Have the patch layer selected (the script is run on the active layer) - Save the project somewhere (patches are generated at this location) The script generates lines with HTML in the Python consol. Copy this code! In the layout, add a HTML frame and paste the code as source. Style the apperance with css in the "User Stylesheet" settings: ******** Example CSS ********** .patch { width: 110px; } .title { font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left; padding: 0px 16px; } table { border-spacing: 0px 4px; } body { margin: 0; } ******************************* You can tweak the HTML code if you want multiple columns. It's not that hard.
