=== Output : Print composer ===
[[file:QGis Print composer output - 11 bitmap (png).png|right|300px|thumb|What we want is this : an high quality topographic output (you can zoom in a lot !). With QGis and experience, we can get this in about 5 to 10 mins]]
You are now working with QGis, your GIS data (namely: ETOPO1), your customized palette. To output your first topographic background, don't use File > Save as Image, which is a simple screenshot. For a better quality :
# '''Use the Print composer:''' QGis (1.6) > File > New print composer (Ctrl+P). First, in this composer window, overfly its topbar icons : one pop up "Add new map". Click this icon, then '''click&drag''' on the white area to put the map, then adjust. Second, on the right box : General > Composition > Paper quality > Size > Custom : set the size you want, larger it is, higher will be your output quality !
