Is it possible to rotate the canvas in QGIS


Can the canvas be rotated so north is pointing in some other direction than defined by the projection? This question answers with respect to the composer, but not the canvas. There is a related 5 year old entry in the bug tracking database that's closed as unnecessary. Is that the current status, or is there a way to rotate the canvas in the newer versions?


Creating a new projection is really not the answer



Answer



Map canvas rotation is being added as a feature to QGIS 2.8. Here's a video posted by Faunalia of the feature.
