Re: [Qgis-developer] Does Sextante Field Calculator support all functions of attribute table field calc?
Hi Anita, Field calculator in SEXTANTE is very simple calculator based on Python eval() function. So it allows only basic math with native data types and some string operations (like concatenation). Seems we need to improve it and add QgsExpression support. BTW, there is also Advanced Field Calculator that should allow calculate area and perform much more complex calculations On Wed, 17 Apr 2013 22:42:05 +0200 Anita Graser anitagra...@gmx.at wrote: Hi, I have a polygon layer with an area field and want to calculate $area / area.

It either reads as GIS-uantum, or QGIS-uantum or on third inspection QGIS-Quantum. Its impossible to read it as Quantum GIS. I can't think of any other corporate logo that is that unreadable - except maybe CNN which I sometimes parse as CMI :). #64 from the same designer at least gets it in the right order, but the skinny 'uantum' looks uneasily perched on the 'GIS'. Take that away and all you have is a circle with a triangle trying hard to be either a very fat map pin or a Q. Have a quick google for something like best product logos and you should see that ease of readability of the product name is paramount. If you can't look at a proposed logo and instantly see either QGIS or Quantum GIS then that logo fails. Anything that typesets the Q of Quantum radically different from the uantum such that they just don't work together, fails. Of course a very clever designer can bend or break these rules, and especially with an already-recognised brand (eg CNN again) where the logo (word) part of the design is less important than it's visual recognition as a wordless symbol. Any squiggle of parallel lines with that same curvature and style looks like CNN. I think the problem overall is the tension between getting qgis and quantum gis in the same logo. I think I would prefer to see a logo that uses the full name (Quantum GIS) but with a stylized Q device that isn't part of the readable part of the text, e.g. http://99designs.co.uk/logo-design/contests/qgis-needs-logo-210397/entries/233 http://99designs.co.uk/logo-design/contests/qgis-needs-logo-210397/entries/238 http://99designs.co.uk/logo-design/contests/qgis-needs-logo-210397/entries/165 http://99designs.co.uk/logo-design/contests/qgis-needs-logo-210397/entries/155 http://99designs.co.uk/logo-design/contests/qgis-needs-logo-210397/entries/142 http://99designs.co.uk/logo-design/contests/qgis-needs-logo-210397/entries/43 Now I'm not saying any of these are good/bad/indifferent, but they all show the style I prefer - instantly readable 'Quantum GIS' with a separate Q that can be stylised as a recongisable mark.

It was my first go with SEXTANTE and I was about to show what it will offer in the future. Therefore I built a small model with three input layers a buffer and two overlay operations. I did not succeed in running the model so I tried in current master. As it currently is SEXTANTE is not operable for me (or I am doing it wrong): First message is Layers do not all use the same CRS although they definitely do and the same EPSG-code is noted in square brackets behind each layer name!? Second I get an Error executing algorithm... it seems as SEXTANTE cannot use PostGIS layers as input (when I save them as shape files the model runs perfectly), this is a big limitation as my institution stores almost everything in PostGIS. (SEXTANTE should not offer PostGIS layers to choose as input layers then). Well, this was a very disappointing experience because additionally QGIS was frozen two or three times opening or closing the model. I do not want to complain, all I want is to ask for keeping fTools as they are until SEXTANTE can _really_ replace them in all aspects.

I have a couple of examples with points in polygon calculation, that take ages in fTools (or the same SEXTANTE algorithm, which has the same code), and they shouldn't. Maybe the Python call to create a spatial index is not working properly and it actually does nothing... ¿?¿? I haven't spent too much time on this anyway, so it's true that improving those algorithms might be possible and probably in some cases not hard. I do not remember much about all ftools algorithms, but for instance, those in the MMQGIS plugin were in many cases very naive (and thus, unusable for large layers). I put them into SEXTANTE as they were, but it's true that some extra work should be done on that, at least with the most used algoirthms Regards Victor 2013/4/18 Martin Dobias wonder...@gmail.com: On Thu, Apr 18, 2013 at 4:51 PM, Werner Macho werner.ma...@gmail.com wrote: hi!

Often it is more important to change the algorithm - e.g. to use a spatial index where possible.

Re: [Qgis-developer] fTools and GdalTools: sextante vs original plugins
Victor, I know this is about = 1.9, that's is the point: I want to stress the contradiction about asking for feedback while the tools cannot be tested on the stable version that most users use. Qgis has an extraordinary feature: users can test experimental tools developed as plugins while keeping the stable core. If Sextante were working on the stable release, (either by making sextante work on 1.8, which is probably not possible, or by having released an stable 1.9 ) you would be having a lot more of feedback from users.

So those users that work with the stable version will have SEXTANTE in their stable 2.0 I agree with the need of that c++ conversion. Once that is ready, wrapping from SEXTANTE is trivial.

On 04/18/2013 10:44 AM, Petros Apotsos wrote: Dear Matthias and list members, According to my POV, documentation is of fundamental importance to software development! I have sent messages to this list at least 2 times in the past, regarding aspects of this particular subject. The responses I got: 0!!! What I have learned in my Postgraduate Studies is that BEFORE, but also WHILE developing a Software Project (like QGIS) or a Database (like a GIS) it is essential to build a conceptual model of the system. This should be done both on static and functional basis. My immediate concern at this time is the model of Geometric Networks. I want to build some fleet tracking tools that use sequential GPS signals to calculate vehicle passes through points, trajectories, routing etc. So, I started modelling the QGIS library classes that I thought were relevant to my subject. This is an ongoing work, and I have modelled a few classes, their relationships, but also some use cases and functions. I am using UML notation for this task. Note, that I am not using UML to automatically produce code. This is a misconception, I think, of UML and its purpose in developing systems. I use modeling purely for overview and documentation reasons, as I am not a hard-core coder, but rather a GIS designer/engineer. These being said, I think this modeling process can help with various issues of QGIS development, including (but not limited to): - Layers and sublayers programmatical handling - Grouping and programmatical access of tools like SEXTANTE (and also other plugins) - API documentation (not the automatic one, but rather a manually updated one, addressing all relevant issues to specific classes and methods). - Connection between classes of different libraries (GDAL, QGIS, Qt etc.) I hope that was a neat introduction to my thoughts about how GIS systems should be documented! I also REALLY hope it gets some attention this time! IF any of you think we can do some introductory work on QGIS documentation (be it the actual API, GUI elements or any other part of the project) using modern UML annotation and tools, please feel free to contact me with details and ideas. I am willing to volunteer a few hours each week towards making the QGIS project better, and documentation is the first step. I am also open to conversations on this subject (a blog/forum would be REALLY helpful there) and opinion sharing. Hoping this message will strike some strings, Petros Apotsos Petros, Can you share some example diagrams you've made already and explain how they could integrate with the QGIS API and it's auto diagrams. I don't think anyone opposes your ideas but it's something you're going to have to get started and see if others want to help/continue the method. Obviously we can host/incorporate such diagrams into the existing documentation. Keep in mind there is a learning curve to UML and tools for UML, so simplification and recommendations are helpful there.

[Qgis-developer] Raster saturation issue
Hi all, I really appreciate the great new raster settings. These enhancements to QGIS are very nice. On testing saturation today, I did notice a potential bug with that setting. For my test raster, I set the saturation to 1 and the difference between that setting and 0 was quite large. If I move to 2, 3, 4, and so on, the differences are very small and incremental. I'm wondering why the leap in saturation from 0 to 1? Is something incorrect in the algorithm calculating saturation? It seems as the values between 0 and 1 need to be handled to make the 0 to 1 change as incrementally small as the 1 to 2.
