[fsug-tvm] A collaborative mapping platform similar to OpenStreetMap and Google Maps
Here is a Collaborative Mapping platform, version 0.12 that we have built - it is for creating data based on any WMS layer in the background. I already send a mail when we released first version. this is a new version with more bug fixing and update. It is similar to OpenStreetMap current version also has some bugs. we are working to make it independent of postgis and other WFS and WFS-T services. later version can be used as an alternative to google maps :) Next version we planned to talk with shapefiles directly there by increasing performance and speed IF IT IS SLOW IT IS BECAUSE OF GML LAYERS USED. next version wont use GML as we are porting data from GML to ESRI Shapefile please test it and let us know your needs and bugs in it. In the current version, it can load district boundary maps and GPS tracks. Based on the GPS tracks, one can create (trace, draw) new data layers - river boundaries, road tracks, and even points and polygons. Link is here. unfortunately because of some technical issues it works only for firefox. tested on both windows and linux. lsi.iiit.ac.in/wt/vgis.wt -- "Freedom is the only law".

Re: [fsug-tvm] Using pyQt for Mini project
I didnt compared Qt with boost also I said in the mail that comparing Qt with FOX is not fair. Please read the mail carefully and answer.I am going to develop an apllication which need to work on web and desktop.First I prefered Qt as I know it better. But porting Qt desktop apps for web is a tough job. I prefered FOX because I need to make my base classes dependent on just c++. I can do it If i choose Qt. so I switched to FOX. FOX has only gui so If I use FOX I can do only GUI part of programming using FOX other than Qt. All other arts dependent on C++ or some other libs. To make a web application from desktop apps (If I am using FOX) I need to replace GUI part. Is this possible on Qt. AFAIK there is no such toolkits which can do web as well as desktop programming. Also there are many choices like python,ruby php for web. But using C++ I can code on web and desktop.If I use FOX fox desktop I have witty for web which doesnt need any HTML,css,javascript/AJAX code. All we need is witty code. It is logically possible to do such an application. that is using MVC keeping M-C constant and changing the view for web and desktop. I can create the core classes in C++ only and inherit them for both web and desktop. The project is not done yet also i never tried it. But hopes this is possible :) Everyone have their own choices of programming language and toolkit and As I said in the first mail it depends on the project we need to do choose toolkit. Its better than sticking on a single toolkit/framewrok for everything. Als I said in the 1st mail that these are only my opinion and I didnt force anyone to use any programming language and toolkits/frameworks ... :) On Tue, Sep 14, 2010 at 12:19 PM, Rajeev J Sebastian < rajeev.sebast...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Sep 14, 2010 at 10:21 AM, Mohammed Rashad > wrote: > > > > Ok, Qt doesn't force but as you said if we want the ease of use of Qt we > > need to use its own modules. > > But remember some Qt modules are not highly optimized when compared with > > other opensource modules > > as i said.

Re: [fsug-tvm] Using pyQt for Mini project
Ok, Qt doesn't force but as you said if we want the ease of use of Qt we need to use its own modules. But remember some Qt modules are not highly optimized when compared with other opensource modules as i said. OODBC cross-platform for database is better that Qt's and any others database module. FOX is only a GUI Toolkit but Qt is a complete framework. comparing a framework with toolkit is not fair. But I vote for FOX than Qt because FOX allows to code in our own way without any generated code unlike Qt and Qt has problems in different versions. Qt 2 is different from Qt3 and both are entirely different from Qt4 that is a problem of portability.We need to rewrite some parts of Qt3 code to work in Qt4 But for FOX I can compile the code I had written using version1 on using latest version.So that I can run the code written for windows95 in window7 ! Advantages: - Written in C++, not C. - Relatively flat learning curve due to very consistent naming, widget creation parameters, and so on. - Fast. - Easy to make custom widgets. - NOT a wrapper around some other toolkit. You can really override the way a widget works by subclassing and reimplementing behaviour and how it is drawn. - Written with a consistent vision of how things should fit together: "Lego blocks" for GUI's: make things work by fitting them together, preferably with no "glue code" having to be written. There are of course a few disadvantages: - No major corporation behind FOX. So, resources are a bit constrained. - Internationalization and Localization are still being worked on. Nevertheless, its functional, and has been used to make some pretty large (thousands and thousands of controls) applications; whatever else one can say, scalability isn't going to be the issue. My suggestion is, quite honestly, pick a small problem representative of the kind of thing you want to do, and try to solve it with various toolkits, before you commit to any major development. Different things are important to different people, and only you know whats important for your own application.

Re: [fsug-tvm] Using pyQt for Mini project
Choice of programming language and toolkits depend on the project not on the programmer.Qt is not just a toolkit. Its a framework. For Qt we are forced to use its own modules form gui,networking and database even though we have good alternatives of database such as OODBC. and boost libraries. It will be good if you post the details of your project for discussion.

[fsug-tvm] GRASS Malayalam Translation
Hi all, If anyone have free time after your jobs and wanted to contribute something to opensource community you can do GRASS (GRASS, this is free Geographic Information System (GIS) software used for geospatial data management and analysis, image It doesnt need any programming skills. you can checkout the grass source and do translation easily. These are the .po files I translated http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/locale/po/grasswxpy_ml.po http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/locale/po/grasslibs_ml.po Varamozhi is a good tool for translation. it has an online editor as well as offline editor. You need to type in manglish and it will be automatically converted to malayalam. http://varamozhi.appspot.com/assets/index.html https://sites.google.com/site/cibu/linux For the gui (grasswxpy.po) about 11% and grasslibs 12% of messages have been translated by me. As I am busy with my works I can spend only a small amount of time in translations :) Volunteer are always welcomed. It doesn't need any programming skills. Only people from kerala (Malayali) can do this job. You can start from here http://grass.fbk.eu/devel/i18n.php http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-translations http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_messages_translation -- "Freedom is the only law".
