So I think I will used Sextante, based on the "rudivonstaden" script (thank you for it!) and to adapt it to my case. Finally, Sorry for these different comments, but there is a character number limit...

comment How do I generate a large number of maps?
I tried the plugin "Atlas", but it seems to be more appropriate for various locations, in my case, it is all the time for the same area: Europe. I tried the plugin "Distribution map manager" which seems to correspond in this point because it is possible to fix the coverage area, but I don't need the process which intersects points with a grid layer as I already have a polygon layer. I tried in ArcGis, but it is quite the same for the QGis Atlas plugin, the solution seems to be to written a python script...

- I use a country layer in background, just for a easy location. - For the different colour for the different value from the attribute "seasonal", I think for that, a use .qml file is suitable. - Optionally, for the title and legend, I think I have to use a file from composer, if it is too hard, I can add it with an other software. - The operation has to be repeated for all species, so, this corresponds to a selection by attribute, which will be used to given the name of the final picture.

Hi all, Thanks for all your replies. To give you some more elements, it is data coming from BirdLife (an example for specie: birdlife.org/datazone/speciesfactsheet.php?id=2794). Briefly, there is one shapefile with all polygons for all species (so, for some of them, many line for a single specie), and there is an attribute which correspond to the seasonal distribution (with values from 1 to 5 corresponding to different uses), one other for the origin etc.. The legend and title is not indispensable.

comment QGis and developpement version
Indeed, it seems obvious, but it must still use version OSGeo, then, where we have to select the package, it is not so clear for the first use. And for some other installation on linux computers, the default version is the 1.7, there is some steps before getting the current version. So I know that can seem very easy for some advanced users, but for some others (I saw that around me), it is not so easy, and it is pity that for these persons there is not more updates with some improvements which runs well on the development version.

comment QGis and developpement version
I knew I was going to react, and harvest some negative evaluation, it wasn't necessarily my willing. My message is not necessarily an question, but if need one, why it is not easier to access to the version 1.9, even if it is not accomplished? or why some people do reference to this version, while it is not available on the official website? It will soon be a year since we are with the 1.8 version ...

Hi Brian, Yes I already include my data on PostGis, so yes, if you have a code, you can share it here (eventually using some generical names for attributes names etc.). I am sure many other people in the same case will be happy to have more details. Cheers

I Nathan W, unfortunately, I can't forward the data, it's not allowed to forward these data on the license, sorry.

comment Delete points outside a polygon with PostGis
Hi "HeyOverThere", Thank you for your Query, I tried the first one (the one with the "ST_Difference"), but it returned with a wrong result. The one with ST_Disjoint run until this weekend, and the result was good, it delete all the occurences outside the polygon as I wanted. So thank you very much for your help!!! Cheers.

Sorry for the lack of details. Yes for all the maps, it will be the same area (Europe). I have one shapefile with all the species and, in the attributes, the corresponding distribution. This shapefile, I can easily split it in different shapefiles (one for each species). At the end, I would like to have for each species one picture, with, at each time, exactly the same area (Europe), the same colours (for example annual distributions in dark green, breeding in light green, non-breeding in blue, etc. ...), the same legend, and as title the name of the specie.

Yes, it is the number of records/features...
