OPTIONS--snapshot filename
Create a snapshot image from the specified layers and save it to
filename. The snapshot is saved in PNG format.
--lang language
Set the language used by QGIS. Language is specified using the
locale string that matches one of the translations supported by
QGIS. For example, to use the German translation, specify --lang
de
--project filename
Load the specified QGIS project file. The layers specified in
the project file are loaded, the layers are symbolized, and the
view extent is restored.
--extent xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax
Set initial map extent by passing coordinates of that rectangle.
--width width
Width of snapshot to emit
--height height
Height of snapshot to emit
--nologo
Hide splash screen
--noplugins
Don't restore plugins on startup. Useful if some third-party
plugins make QGIS crash during startup.
--optionspath path
Use the given QSettings path
--configpath path
Use the given path for all user configuration
--help
Display brief usage help.
file...
A list of one or more files to be loaded into QGIS at startup.
Files must consist of a data format supported by QGIS and only
disk-based formats can be loaded using this method. This
includes shapefiles, MapInfo files, and most raster formats.
Data stores that cannot be loaded in this way include PostGIS
layers in a PostgreSQL database and GRASS vector/raster data.
FILES
~/.config/QGIS/qgis.conf
QGIS preferences file. This file stores windows size/location,
loaded plugins, user options, and other application settings.
