I want to zoom into the current active QGIS canvas from a standalone python script.

I tried the following but it doesn't impact the current QGIS canvas:

import qgis.utils
canvas = qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas()
canvas.zoomIn()

Can I modify the QGIS app from a standalone python script (not from the QGIS Python console)? If so, how do I do that?

  • Purely a guess but perhaps try using from qgis.gui import QgsMapCanvas? Commented Jan 20, 2015 at 11:21

  • what kind of standalone script? Something that inside a QGIS session? Commented Jan 20, 2015 at 12:53
  • I have a running QGIS session and independently from that a Python script (not the Python console). Commented Jan 20, 2015 at 12:56
