Feature: Elevation profile plots in print layouts

It is now possible to include profile plots in print layouts! There is a new "Add Elevation Profile" button in the toolbar which will initially create an empty plot. A plot can be initialized by clicking "Copy From Profile" button in the properties of the elevation profile item - this will use the active elevation profile from the main window of QGIS.

The elevation profile has wide configuration options - you can specify:

  • what layers to include
  • tolerance of the profile curve
  • chart ranges (minimum and maximum distance/elevation)
  • chart area borders and colors
  • distance and elevation axes properties - intervals of labels, grid lines appearance, fonts and more
