qgis - How do I control rendering order of items in composer?


Alternative formulation of the question is:


Is there any other way apart from the order of adding items to the canvas of setting the rendering order>


The problem is that I want to change the map which was added first and the legend overlays the map so when I delete and replace the map the legend is underneath it.



Answer



The next-to-last icon on the default toolbar in composer (two overlapping rectangles) will show a tooltip "Raise Selected Items". If you click the icon you get a choice of raise, lower, bring to front, send to back. Select the legend, click "bring to front" and you've got what you want.
