Layer Grid Plugin for QGIS

Description

The Layer Grid Plugin provides an intuitive dockable widget that presents a grid of map canvases, showcasing each layer sorted by a custom property, "date". This allows users to easily compare different layers side by side. Moreover, zooming or panning in the main map canvas will automatically sync the zoom and pan actions in the grid canvases, ensuring consistent visualization across all maps.

Features

• Synced View: Automatically sync zoom and pan actions across main map and grid canvases.
• Grid Layout: Clear, intuitive grid layout to view layers side by side.
• Error Handling: Displays error messages through QGIS's message bar in case of issues.

Installation

1. Download the Layer Grid Plugin .zip file.
2. Open QGIS.
3. Navigate to Plugins > Manage and Install Plugins... > Install from ZIP.
4. Select the downloaded .zip file and click 'Install Plugin'.
5. Once installed, the Layer Grid widget should be available in the QGIS interface.

Usage

1. Open the Layer Grid dockable widget by navigating to Plugins > Layer Grid.
2. The layers you have in your project will be automatically displayed in the grid, sorted by their custom "date" property.
3. Interact with the main QGIS map canvas (pan, zoom). Notice that the map canvases in the grid will automatically adjust to match the main canvas's current view.
