<h3>Project Properties</h3>
2+
This dialog allows you to set a number of properties related to the <i>Project</i>. A Project is a saved set of layers and their settings, as well as other information required to restore the project from disk.<p>

<h4>General Tab</h4>

<table border=1>
6+
<tr>
7+
<td>Project Title</td><td>A descriptive title for the project. This title will be displayed in the title bar of the QGIS window</td>
8+

<tr>
10+

11+

12+
<tr>
13+
<td>Cursor Display Precision</td><td>Use the manual setting to set the precision of the display in the status bar. As the mouse is moved over the map canvas, the coordinates are updated and displayed in the status bar using the precision you choose. Automatic (the default) results in a default precision based on the map units.</td>
14+
</tr>
15+
<tr>
16+
<td>Digitising Settings</td><td>This allows you to set the snapping tolerance in pixels, the line width used when digitising, and the color for digitised lines.</td>

To create a new PostGIS Connection, you need to know the host, port, and your username/password for the database server.
2+
<h4>Required Parameters</h4>
3+
<ul>
4+
<li>Name - a descriptive name for this connection
5+
<li>Host - the host name of the database server (eg. madison.qgis.org)
6+
<li>Database - name of the database to connect to
7+
<li>Port - port that PostgreSQL is listening on. By default this is 5432. If in doubt, check with your database administrator.
8+
<li>Username - your database user name
9+
<li>Password - your database password
10+
</ul>
11+
<h4>Options</h4>
12+
<ol>
13+
<li><i>Save Password</i> - save your password so you don't have to enter each time. The password is stored in clear text with your QGIS preferences.
14+
<li><i>Only look in the geometry_columns table</i> - normally QGIS examines every table in the database to see if it has a geometry column and if so, adds it to the list of layers. Checking this box tells QGIS to only list layer that have been "registered" and have an entry in the geometry_columns table.
15+
<li><i>Only look in the 'public' schema</i> - this limits the search for layers to the public schema
16+
</ol>
17+
<h4>Testing the Connection</h4>
18+
Clicking on the <i>Test Connection</i> button initiates a connect attempt to the database using the parameters you specified. This is a good way to check the connection parameters prior to saving the connection.

<h3>Add PostGIS Tables</h3>
2+
This dialog allows you to add PostGIS layers (tables with a geometry column) to the QGIS map canvas.
3+
<h4>Connections</h4>
4+
<ul>
5+
<li>Choose the connection to use from the drop-down box and click <i>Connect</i>
6+
<li>If there are no connections, use the <i>New</i> button to create a connection
7+
<li>To modify a connection, click the <i>Edit</i> button
8+
</ul>
9+
<h4>Adding Layers</h4>
10+
To add a layer:
11+
<ol>
12+
<li>Choose the desired connection from the drop-down box
13+
<li>Click <i>Connect</i>
14+
<li>Find the layer you want to add in the list and click on it to select it
15+
<li>You can select additional layers by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking
16+
<li>Click <i>Add</i> to add the layer(s) to the map
17+
</ol>
18+
<h4>Filtering a Layer</h4>
19+
To filter a layer before adding it to the map, double click on its name. This will open the Query Builder, allowing you to build up a SQL statement to use in filtering the records.
