Re: [QGIS-Developer] Support to loading GIS projects from an extended OWC geopackage in the QGIS core

2017-12-15 Thread doublebyte
Hi All,

Thanks a lot for the support!

Tim,

Forgive my ignorance, but what would the ancillary storage be, exactly?
Could you give me an example or perhaps point me to a code file, so that I
can have a better idea?

   Regards,
   Joana

Yes, please! I think there was an issue about not being able to load an
extended gpkg:

[QGIS-Developer] QgsField, precision, export

2017-12-15 Thread Martin Landa
Hi,

I am having problem with attributes which have defined precision, eg.

QgsField("ader_microsvh", QVariant.Double, prec=4),

The values are displayed correctly when loading layer to the memory
(see left part of screenshot), but after exporting such layer to SHP,
the values are lost (zero value with given precision), see right part
of screenshot. Tested with QGIS 2.14 and 2.18. Do you have any idea
how to fix this issue without dropping precision? Thanks, Martin

I would rather spend QGIS.ORG money on important bugfixing for QGIS 3.
QGIS Grant applications should be directed to the work nobody wants to
fund initially, or for proof-of-concept or kickstart of new features.

I have no doubt we will find people and organizations willing to fund
features for 3D improvement.

Perhaps - or maybe not. 3D is the kind of thing that many think is cool,
but they wouldn't spend money on it, because it isn't helping their
business case. As an example, the crowd funding from Lutra on 3D for
Crayfish go close to zero support from QGIS users up to now. See
https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/crowdfunding/qgis-crayfish-3/  

It is not a coincidence that it took so long to get 3D started in QGIS.
Would it be a priority to the QGIS funders, then it would have started,
much, much earlier ... no one, except the QGIS grants money (and Martins
additional spare time) invested a cent so far in QGIS 3D. 

But it is anyway up to the voting members to decide what grants will be
supported. You are one of them I think ;-)

Re: [QGIS-Developer] QGIS 3D: looking below the terrain model

2017-12-15 Thread Vincent Habchi
Hi there,

I’m boarding a bit late on the train but:

My experience as a journalist who speaks to quite a lot of people using GIS in 
local governments and elsewhere is that 3D is rarely, if ever used, and for the 
time being is more a gadget than a real useful tool.

However, that is probably going to change in the near future as a result of 
three separate trends:

1. LiDAR point clouds (I’d say that integrating point clouds viz into QGis is 
as important as being able to represent 3D volumes). 

2. BIM - SIG convergence.

3. Utility network management (which raises the point of underground 
representation). 


Besides, is QGIS 3D powered by the 3D functions of Qt? Because I heard about 
the Globe plugin being underpinned by Open Scene Graph, and I’d hate, as a 
packager, to see the number of dependencies barrel out of control just because 
the 3D support hasn’t be harmonised to a single API.

[QGIS-Developer] DLL load failed with PyDev

2017-12-15 Thread Lauri Kajan
Hi all,
The great news is that I have already solved the problem.
I'm just writing to ask if anybody understands the reason behind this
phenomenon and to give advice for those how must struggle with the same
problem.

I have an eclipse startup bat as instructed in qgis documentation and
still, I got the DLL load failed error when trying to import something from
qgis.core.

The reason for this is the way I defined a jvm for Eclipse in eclipse.ini
(I don't have JRE bundled in eclipse installation).
At the first, I had in my eclipse.ini
-vm
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
and I got the ImportError
when I changed that to the real JRE path
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_152\bin\javaw.exe
everything work as supposed to.

The javapath folder is a "new" way to define used java version. It has
symlinks (yes, on windows) to the real java installation. This is the
folder that java installation appends to the PATH environment variable.

In both ways, the sys.path is the same.
When eclipse is started with -vm C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
os.environ['PATH'] is:
C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_152/bin/server;C:/Program
Files/Java/jre1.8.0_152/bin;C:/Program
Files/Java/jre1.8.0_152/lib/amd64;C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\qgis-dev\bin;C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\qt5\bin;C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python36;C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python36\Scripts;C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python27\Scripts;C:\OSGEO4~1\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBem;C:\OSGeo4W64;
and when with -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_152\bin\javaw.exe
the os.environ['PATH'] is:
C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\qgis-dev\bin;C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\qt5\bin;C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python36;C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python36\Scripts;C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python27\Scripts;C:\OSGEO4~1\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBem

I don't understand this because of the qgis_core.dll folder
C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\qgis-dev\bin is in the PATH with both ways but it on the
other way it gives an error.

I'm just happy now that I found the solution for this even I don't
understand the reason.


Should we add this to the documentation also?

P.S.
Is there a reason for C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python27\Scripts to be still on the
PATH when using py3 environment?


Thanks,

-Lauri

[QGIS-Developer] Qgis r.stream.distance

2017-12-15 Thread Eva Schindele
Dear All,

 I use Qgis with Grass plugin, but the r.stream.distance function isn´t shown 
in my toolbox. Is it anyway possible to add it there?
In the modulelist, which is shown in the following link, it is even not 
mentioned.  (https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS-QGIS_relevant_module_list)
 
The attempt to get it in through adding the r.strem.distance.exe- file in the 
folder where all modules are, failed.

What have I done wrong or what is moreover necessary to do?

I tried to figure it out a long time without any solution.

Hope to hear from you soon and thanks in advance.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Support to loading GIS projects from an extended OWC geopackage in the QGIS core

2017-12-15 Thread Régis Haubourg
Hi all,

some years ago, we discussed of a new project file format able to store
data and other ressources has been discussed.

We finally had the opportunity to make one step forward when working on the
auxiliary data storage stuff.

What's the current status in QGIS 3:

- we now have an optional format ".qgz" that is a zipped file
- the auxiliary data storage is a sqlite database ".qgd" storing additional
informations joined to classical layers (for manual labeling purposes for
instance). It is NOT a spatialite database that could be the container for
spatial data
- when zip fil format is chosen, the qgd file is stored inside the qgz.

So, the path is opened to modify the offline editing tools or other
equivalent features to store their local datasource (either gpkg or sqlite)
inside the qgz too.

We also now have a container for storing SVG, color ramps, pictures or any
additionnal ressource that should be shipped within the project.

Now my opinion on the proposal about storing all inside a GPKG:

- I think we should first have a native "packaging" format using native qgs
file, to adress what offline editing, Qconsolidate, or QFieldSync use cases
requires.
- The "interoperability" use case should be adressed only as an option, not
a default solution, since SLD conversion (and things that don't stick to
standards) will alter the project.

I am in favor of discussing all that after QGIS3 is out so that we keep
focused on that,  and then discuss that at the Madeyra hackfest. I'd be
pleased to animate a workgroup to reach common agreement, guidelines, and
find a plan for that.

Best regards !
Régis

Just from curiosity was there any particular reason for doing this? Is there an

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Support to loading GIS projects from an extended OWC geopackage in the QGIS core

2017-12-15 Thread Paul van Genuchten
Hi list, great to see so much enthusiasm for the suggested feature.
As you may know the GeoPackage standard itself by now already has quite a 
number of extensions. 

http://www.geopackage.org/extensions.html 


It is to be expected that quite some of these extensions will also require a 
qgis plugin to access the extended data. Some of these extensions may act 
optimally if they are notified of a geopackage being opened (and are allowed to 
take over control of the thread). By allowing such a mechanism, developers may 
even write plugins that allow formats to be opened using qgis of which qgis 
before was not aware.

The suggested  plugin falls in this category, the functionality to open 
OWC-geopackage is either moved to core (check if the geopackage contains a 
qgis-projects table else check if it contains an OWC table else … finally open 
as plain tables). Alternatively core could provide a mechanism that allows 
plugins to hook in the file-open event.

I have no clue of the impact of such a change, just wanted to raise the topic 
to hear your thoughts.

Related to the auxiliary storage discussion. This sounds like a cool feature 
for which I sure see a use case. OGC is working on a similar initiative called 
the “table joining service” (http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/tjs/ 
) and I even recently read a 
thread about someone suggesting to put queries (with joins and filters) as a 
base for an OWS Context layer. However since auxiliary storage currently is 
very specific for QGIS, this will not be in the scope of our work, which is 
targeting moving full GIS projects between GIS environments by using standards. 
However I invite everyone to join in the initiative and create an extension 
that specifically targets this use case.

We have to consider that the QGIS project file has a lot of fancy things which 
will not be present anymore after being converted to an OWS Context. So when 
users are exporting their project the interface should guide them in selecting 
the best format for their use case.

Regards, Paul.

[QGIS-Developer] Portal for QGIS

2017-12-15 Thread Finbar Gillen
Hi guys,

Has anyone information on a secure Portal for QGIS so I can share webmaps with 
colleagues within my organisation?

To give a bit of background, I have been brought into a Data Analysis team for 
a fairly large organisation (1,000 employees) to give advice on how they could 
get more out of GIS. I came from an ESRI background but they were using MapInfo 
at the time. I have since persuaded them to move over to QGIS and all GIS 
analysis is now done through this.

As more and more people are seeing what value GIS can bring to their department 
the demand for webmaps for presentation purposes and as information reference 
point has increased.

I have been using the 'qgis2web' plugin (which is an excellent plugin) to 
create webmaps but with new data regulations coming into play now (GDPR) and 
efficiency purposes I would prefer to move to a portal environment where users 
have to sign in to an online portal to access the maps. Something along the 
lines of Portal for ArcGIS equivalent would be great!

Any info would be great!
Regards
Finbar

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Qgis r.stream.distance

2017-12-15 Thread Stefan Blumentrath
Dear Eva, 

Since r.stream.distance is a C addon, the process of getting it to work in qgis 
is a bit involved.
If the GRASS command line is available in qgis you could run it from there...

Betreff: [QGIS-Developer] Qgis r.stream.distance

Dear All,

I use Qgis with Grass plugin, but the r.stream.distance function isn´t shown in 
my toolbox. Is it anyway possible to add it there?
In the modulelist, which is shown in the following link, it is even not 
mentioned. (https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS-QGIS_relevant_module_list)

The attempt to get it in through adding the r.strem.distance.exe- file in the 
folder where all modules are, failed.

What have I done wrong or what is moreover necessary to do?

I tried to figure it out a long time without any solution.

Hope to hear from you soon and thanks in advance.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Portal for QGIS

2017-12-15 Thread Andreas Neumann
Hi Finbar, 

QGIS perhaps doesn't offer a cloud solution as versatile as ArcGIS or
CartoDB. 

But there are two types of QGIS webclients that you could use for
self-hosting (if you want that): 

* QGIS Web Client 2: https://github.com/qgis/qwc2-demo-app
* LizMap: https://github.com/3liz/lizmap-web-client

If you want a QGIS hosted solution, there is, as far as I know only QGIS
Cloud (https://qgiscloud.com/), which uses the above mentioned QGIS Web
Client 2. 

Or is there a hosted LizMap cloud services also available? Can someone
chime in if it is available? 

If you are a large organization, as you mention (1000 employees) than
you may want to self host your QGIS server with a web client of your
choice (see above) and some support from the two companies who develop
the two web clients primarily. Or you want to dive in yourself and do it
all yourself - this would also be possible. 

Greetings, 

Andreas

[QGIS-Developer] QGIS 3D: Fails with large DTM image

2017-12-15 Thread C Hamilton
QGIS 3D has a lot of potential and works well with small DEM data sets, but
when ever I try it with a large DTM image I just get a white screen. I tend
to work with large DEMs (5 x 5 pixels and larger) and I would love
for this to work with it properly.

Do you have any ideas why this is the case? I have tried this with an
AIG/Arc/Info Binary Grid image as well as a GeoTIFF with overviews.

OS: Windows 7; QGIS 3 Version: 2.99.0-238

Re: [QGIS-Developer] QGIS 3D: Fails with large DTM image

2017-12-15 Thread Martin Dobias
Hi Calvin

Could you please point me to such a DEM to try it out myself? Or even
better, file a ticket on issues.qgis.org so that we do not forget
about it. Not sure from the top of my head what could go wrong there -
the raster size should not be the reason really as the raster data
access is using the same code paths as 2D rendering would. Maybe there
is something in the data that causes the problem. If you resize the
large DEM to e.g. 5000x5000 pixels, does that help?

Regards
Martin

Could we give the terrain some small "thickness", and add a duplicate,
slightly lower surface facing downwards below the existing DEM?

One thing I would really like to see added in the 3D support before
3.0 release would be to add a "save as image" option. Currently it's
great to be able to play with data in 3d, but adding the option to
export the camera view to an image file would take take the 3D support
from being purely "exploratory" to instead becoming a "visualisation"
tool.

Totally agree with all the above. Personally, I'd love to see some
group of users start to take charge of extending QGIS' BIM
functionality/integration abilities. Is this something you'd (or any
other readers) be interested in doing? I'd suggest starting with a
thread on the user list, and start collating documents (e.g. via
google drive) for requirements/desires to make QGIS a first class
player in the BIM world.

Yes, it uses the Qt 3D module, not OSG. There's another thread on this
list from last week discussing what future the globe plugin has.

It's just the normal behavior of processing.run - unchanged from 2.x.
You can disable the progress bar by overridding the feedback object to
use one which discards all feedback. E.g.:

f = QgsProcessingFeedback()
processing.run('algid',{parameters},feedback=f)

There's QgsProcessingAlgRunnerTask, but it takes a few lines of setup
code to utilise. I've been meaning to find time to make an equivalent
of processing.run which runs in the background (only if the algorithm
is safe to do so - see https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/5807). But
that will also be a few lines of code to utilise, since it's non
blocking, you'll need to connect to signals on completion/failure and
continue your script logic from these.

Will try and do this after finalising layout work.
