<h3>Create a new WMS connection</h3>
|
|
WMS layers can be added quite simply, as long as you know the URL to access the WMS server, you have a serviceable connection to that server, and the server understands HTTP as the data transport mechanism.<p>
|
|
QGIS currently can act as a WMS client that understands WMS 1.1, 1.1.1 and 1.3 servers.

To define a new WMS server in the <label>Server Connections</label> section, select <label>New</label>. Then enter the parameters to connect to your desired WMS server.<p>
|
|
You can add some servers to play with by clicking the <label>Add default servers</label> button. This will add at least three WMS servers for you to use.<p>
|
|
Once the new WMS Server connection has been created, it will be preserved for future QGIS sessions.

Select the <label>Connect</label> button to retrieve the capabilities of the selected server. This includes the Image encoding, Layers, Layer Styles and Projections.<br/>

|
While downloading data from the WMS server, the download progress is visualized in the left bottom of the WMS Plugin dialog.<p>
|
|
The <label>Image encoding</label> section now lists the formats that are supported by both the client and server.<br/>
|
|
Choose one depending on your image accuracy requirements.<p>
|
|
You can select several layers at once, they will be combined at the WMS Server and transmitted to QGIS in one go.<p>
|
|
Each WMS Layer can be presented in multiple CRSs, depending on the capability of the WMS server. To choose a CRS, select <label>Change...</label>
