That could be an option, yes. But they haven't done it, and I don't
know if they would be interested. One of us could step up and offer
packaging to SAGA, but I am not that experienced in packaging issues
and distro-related complications.
The saga wiki suggest using saga_cmd through python, which would need
no recompilation, but would limit us to non-interactive plugins. Maybe
that isn't so much of an issue, and would be easier.

What about including it in trunk, but only load the plugin if the
dependencies are satisfied?
Would the devs be ok with that? Provided the quality of the plugin is
acceptable, of course.
I also wouldn't require a *full* saga installation, if I am not
mistaken. Only libsaga.

There is a third case: Using saga_cmd through python.
This is the easiest in term of programming effort, I think. But is
limited to non-interactive plugins, as I said before, and but would
require a full saga installation.

I agree speed isn't a problem.

> Am I wrong?

You are right, and bring up some interesting arguments. You are
starting to convince me. :)

Maybe I could even start with saga_cmd only (option 3) and later add
support for interactive modules using the python api (if available),
option 2.
What do you think of that?
Less elegant than a C++ solution, but much easier.

If I go this route, what would the recommended exchange formats for
raster/grid and vector/shape be?

Many thanks for your comments, I feel this has been a productive discussion.

Camilo

This should be solved from the saga side, providing a package for it. 

Let me try to explain:
First case: C++ plugin; this requires recompilation of QGIS, so we have
two options:
- include the plugin in qgis-trunk, and add the dependency on saga; this
is unlikely to be accepted by most core qgis-devs, I guess
- leave the plugin outside qgis, and require the recompilation for each
and every platform, and for each release of qgis; furthermore, osgeo4w
users will not be able to use it with qgis-dev.

Second case: Python plugin. The user will be able to install it or not,
provided he has saga with its py bindings installed on its system. This
will work with all versions of qgis (>=minimum version, as defined in
the plugin), on all OS.

Speed shouldn't be a problem, as the plugin istelf should do very little
calculations, only calling saga commands with the appropriate
parameters, as it happens with the GRASS and the GdalTools plugins.

Am I wrong?
All the best.

Sounds like a problem with you GDAL installation.  It's not a QGIS problem.
Maybe reinstalling gdal or the mysql libraries (or downgrading) helps.

Not reproducable here either.   But those point to download.osgeo.org, which
seems unavailable from some networks for some undetermined reason.
download2.osgeo.org should work.

Re: [Qgis-developer] SAGA Interface

2011-04-01 Thread gianluca.massei

Hi Giovanni,
the plugin is in code.google 
(http://code.google.com/p/qgis-saga-plugin/). It  Is very experimental 
and rough !
Anyway, the code makes a query to the saga-api and collect all the 
module for each library for build a complex menu in qgis. The  select of 
a non interactive module  print in stdout the  output of "saga_cmd 
'library_name' 'module_name' -h". I'm working to build a GUI "on the 
fly" from that output.
Yes,  the user need to compile saga with python interface but in future 
I think that the maintainer can build an xml file with library, modules 
and parameters structure from a  query to saga_api. We can read the xml  
file and use the information for a plugin saga_api independent , using 
saga_cmd command.
In that way, the user needs only set path for saga_api and install 
plugin with only the xml. With a new saga version, the maintainer 
generate a new xml file and puts it in plugin.


The C++ approach is realy more perfomance but is more complex and   and 
my C++ knowledge isn't so good.

[Qgis-developer] bug in SpatiaLite 3D

2011-04-01 Thread a . furieri
Hi Devs,

I've quite casually discovered that the SpatiaLite
Data Provider is actually unable to access any 3D
layer (no error occurs, but no geometry is shown at
all).

I've already patched the data provider so to correctly
support 3D geometries as well.
Anyway, this one doesn't seems to be an high priority
bug (nobody noticed this before: I suppose 3D layers 
are very rarely used).
Considering the current "freeze" I suppose it would be
better waiting until v.1.7 will be released before
committing this patch into the SVN.

Any comment from you is surely welcome.

bye Sandro

Not necessarily, but it would have the following advantages:

* the users would not have to manually get those three separate 
libraries
* the libraries would be stripped down to the necessary (e.g. OL can be 
half the size of the regular full version), same for ExtJS and GeoExt
* the libraries in our svn would be tested to work with each other. 
When one of the three libraries changes to a new version we would check 
them for compatibility and only replace them in our repository if they 
work. It happened in the past, that a newer SVN trunk version of OL 
would break some functionality.


On the other hand it is the question whether we are allowed to keep 
separate versions in our SVN? Would the licenses of OL, GeoExt and 
Ext/Sencha allow that?

The only things webclient and the rest share are the icons, isn't it? 
Not duplicating that would possibly be a minor plus.

Another thing might be that the webclient follows development stuff in server,
so it might be nice to have new features on both ends in possibly one commit.
That might make maintance easier.

What would be the downside of trunk - assuming that the webclient isn't huge?

If we decide to bundle it, I would propose not to bundle it with 1.7, 
but wait for 1.8. I think it should be more thoroughly tested and those 
users who want to test it can easily extract it from SVN.


At a later stage we can still discuss how we want to deliver the

Sorry to insist -I do not want to bother. We currently have many
functions that are of limited, specialized use. I think our current
approach (keep everything in one place, and leave to packagers the
choice of splitting packages) is more sane.
For instance, in Debian we have:
===
p   libqgis-dev - Quantum GIS - development files
i A libqgis1.7.0 - Quantum GIS - shared libraries
i A python-qgis - Python bindings to Quantum GIS
i A python-qgis-common - Python bindings to Quantum GIS -
architecture-independent fi
i   qgis - Geographic Information System (GIS)
p   qgis-api-doc - Quantum GIS API documentation
i A qgis-common - Quantum GIS - architecture-independent data
i   qgis-mapserver - Quantum GIS mapserver
i   qgis-plugin-grass - GRASS plugin for Quantum GIS
i   qgis-plugin-grass-common - GRASS plugin for Quantum GIS -
architecture-independent data
i A qgis-providers - collection of data providers to Quantum GIS
i A qgis-providers-common - collection of data providers to Quantum 
GIS

- architecture-i
p   qgis-sqlanywhere1.7.0 - Quantum GIS sql anywhere plugin and 
provider

===
so most users will not install, e.g. qgis-sqlanywhere1.7.0, etc.
I think the same could apply to the webgis.
All the best.

I think it makes sense to separate the two completely. Most QGIS 
desktop users won't care about a webgis client. And some QGIS Server 
users may want to run their own webgis viewer or use QGIS Server just as 
a regular WMS.


It will be easy to install and configure, and hopefully well 
documented, though.


But I doubt that it will satisfy everybody's need.

Andreas

Re: [Qgis-developer] Python plugin: how to set a symbol for a layer?

create your style within QGis and save it as e.g. "point.qml" in your plugin
folder,
then load it using this snapshot:

import os.path
style_path = os.path.join( os.path.dirname(__file__), "point.qml" )
(errorMsg, result) = vectorLayer.loadNamedStyle( style_path )

So to change the style of the layer it consists just in a file replacing
without any change
in your code.

Cheers.

+1

Agreed. It is completely separated from other code, so feature / string freeze 
should not be apply to it.

Hi,

Paolo, the qgis webclient, although it works with QGIS server, will not 
be delivered by default with QGIS. It will reside in a parallel 
repository, just like the QGIS documentation or the articles. Besides 
Jürgens work on the WMS server tab in the project properties it has no

webclient.

Hi all.
As I wrote, I would suggest to lift the feature freeze for Andreas' 
work
on the webgis client, if he's ok with this. This move is highly 
unlikely

to have any impact on the rest, and would be a great addition.
All the best.

Hi All

It seems those who care have had their say, and those that don't
haven't :-) So it looks like a majority of people opt for 3 - dedicate
the hackfest to bug fixing and release after. As such I will suggest
we lift the string freeze again but maintain the feature freeze in
place. I will update the release checklist with new timings over teh
weekend.

Best regards

Tim

Paolo its actually embarrasingly easy with Jurgens revised version of
the INSTALL docs (since a few months now)if you can disregard the
fact that you need to cross over to the dark side to do it

Thanks Andreas for explaining.
If you think it is production ready, I would suggest to commit it before
the release of 1.7. It is based on solid code (geoext), and should not
interfere with the rest of QGIS.
Objections?

[Qgis-developer] Python plugin: how to set a symbol for a layer?

2011-04-01 Thread luca_manganelli

Hi,

I've searched across documentation and mailing list, but I didn't found a
page explaining how to set a symbol.

For example:

  - point layer: I want to use a circle with width 0.5 and gray colour with
black border;
  - line layer: width 1 and continous green line

any hint?

Thank you in advance.
