[Qgis-developer] Problems with installing QGIS on Linux Mint

[James Stott]

I tried to upgrade QGIS on my system without success. I have also tried to
uninstalling and to reinstall but I cannot get it to work.

I have recently upgraded to Linux Mint 17.3 (dont know if thats relevant).

I get the following error when I try to install (apologies my system is in
Norwegian):

[Qgis-developer] QgsComposerMap zoomToExtent problem

[James Stott]

Hi,

I have a QgsComposerMap that I want to zoom to the extent of a feature in a
vector layer.

geomBBRect = geometry.boundingBox()
myComposerMap.zoomToExtent(geomBBRect)

I am trying to use zoomToExtent to make the map show the correct area.
However, I get a blank map when I run my code. If I check what the current
scale is, its returned as 'nan'.

I tried using setNewExtent() before, but this alters the size of my
QgsComposerMap. I want to keep the same map size each time.

After doing a little bit of checking, it seems that:

myComposerMap.currentMapExtent().xMinimum()))
myComposerMap.currentMapExtent().xMaximum()))

both return 'nan' but yMinimum and yMaximum return coordinates.

I can not figure out why. Can anyone help shed any light on the problem? I
can provide more code if needed.

[Qgis-developer] Add multiple frames to a composer attribute table using PyQGIS

[James Stott]

I have an attribute table that is around two hundred rows of data (but only
two columns wide). I would like to add an attribute table to a composer
with this data, and to do this I need to add multiple frames so I can add
the whole attribute table to one page. Doing this manually in the composer
I just add 5 frames side by side to one composer page, and I manage to get
all my data on one page.

I cannot figure out how to add an attribute table with multiple frames to a
composer using PyQGIS. I am problably missing something really obvious, but
I am stuck here.

When I try to define a QgsComposerFrame, I am told that I must specify the
QgsComposerMultiFrame it belongs to:

QgsComposerFrame

 (QgsComposition  *c,
QgsComposerMultiFrame
 *mf,
qreal x , qreal y
, qreal width, qreal height)

How do I create the QgsComposerMultiFrame. It is an abstract class, I am
told that it is an abstract class and cannot be instantiated. If I try

multiFrame = QgsComposerMultiFrame(myCompositionTable, False)

I get the following error when I run my code.

qgis._core.QgsComposerMultiFrame represents a C++ abstract class and cannot
be instantiated

I cant find any documentation or examples on how to do this. So if someone
could shed some light on this it would be most appreciated. I am happy to
write up a bit of documentation once I have managed to do this.

Many thanks,

James

Agree on keeping $CURRENT_DATE() backwards compatibility. We use that on every

 Hi Hugo,

 I am open to replacements of $CURRENT_DATE(). We'd need to make sure,  
however, that the new proposal of [% $now %] would also allow a way to  set the 
date format, e.g. german date, french date, english date or some  specific user 
defined format.

 Is your proposed change in line with what other text replacements of  the new 
expression builder do, e.g. in the label placement?

 Would the label in print composer gain a new GUI that would allow the  user to 
specify an expression?

 How about backwards compatibility of $CURRENT_DATE() ? Although it  wasn't 
well documented, I taught a lot of people about using
 $CURRENT_DATE() - would the old syntax still work with the new proposal?

 It would be best if Marco H. could comment, since he implemented the  current 
label object in print composer.

 Thanks,
 Andreas

[Qgis-developer] New plugin - Locked Layers Manager

[James Stott]

Hi all,

Just thought I would let you all know that I have created a new plugin
that allows you to add layers to and remove layers from the layerset of
a composermap object on a composer. It's in the QGIS official
repository.

http://hub.qgis.org/projects/lockedlayers

This is useful if you want to see what layers are currently locked to a
composermap, and also to alter the layerset without having to recreate
the layers in the map canvas and then unlocking and relocking the
composermap.

This is my first attempt at a plugin so hopefully it works well. Any
problems with it please let me know. 

I am hoping to improve it as time goes on, and eventually would like to
add it as a widget on the composer window.

James

Thanks for the reply.

I do not see anywhere on the information page to change the sub-project.


There are fields for:

Name, Description, Indentifier, Homepage and Public. 

Then there are the Trackers and Customfields sections after this.

Also, if I go to http://hub.qgis.org/projects/qgis-user-plugins I do not
see the New Subproject link anywhere (I am logged in).

Go to settings->information, you can make it a sub-project of "user

Note that now the "user plugins" page has a "new subproject "link to
create a sub-project directly, although you have to be logged in I
think.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Diagram improvements

[James Stott]

What would also be useful is to be able to include a number inside the
pie segment to indicate either the percentage of the pie or the actual
number of whatever the segment represents (i.e. 10 apple out of 35
pieces of fruit in total rather than just being able to have 28%).

It would be good if this number could sit outside of the pie chart with
a line pointing into the segment that it refers to - excel does this
quite nicely.

I think you have covered most of the options needed for the legend - I
think the reference circle sizes is definitely needed.

Good point.

This deserves deffinitely to be looked at.

Basic integration would have to include a rectangle with the colors for
the pie-pieces (or bars...) with labels Then attribute names should be
customizable. Attribute names tend to be technical.
The more advanced part would include some size reference circles.

What else would be needed for such a legend?

[Qgis-developer] Plugin project problem

[James Stott]

I have submitted a plugin and I thought I would create a project page
for it as well. 

Doing this I have managed to creat a plugin project page but it didn't
add it as a sub project of the User Plugins. It seems to have added it
as a separate project 

How do I change this?

There was no add new sub project button on the User Plugins page so I
thought it would let me set this layer on.

what good news! definitely, diagrams are in the need for some love.
I assume you are going to work on the newer implementation, right?
I think one very important thing is to implement the missing features
from the old diagrams, so that we can keep only one, and reduce
redundancy.
A second issue is cleaning the interface, that most users find difficult
to understand.
When are you planning to issue a pull request against master?
Thanks a lot.
All the best.

Re: [Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] Python Plugin utilising SOAP

[James Stott]

Thanks for the responses.

I will concentrate on telling the users they need it for now and let
them decide how best to manage that.

I am having problems with suds though. 

I point it to the wsdl and all I get back is an error as below:

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while pickling an object

May try one of the other libraries that are out there.

James,

I'm using suds in my plugin on windows 7 64bits.

The problem as you mention it, is how to include it in your plugin.
For my self I didn't bother because I made a setup.exe that install suds
and the plugin where they need to be.

I suppose you can copy it in your plugin dir and do something like:
from my_plugin import suds
suds.blabla

It should work.

Re: [Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] Query Layer / Rule Based Rendering Problem

[James Stott]

To update this post,

I have compared the project file code for both the layer that works and
the layer that doesn't and I have found differences in the
customproperties section. This section does not exist in the layer that
works - it only exists for the layer that I copied the style for.
Removing it makes the layer show on the map.

Subject: [Qgis-user] Query Layer / Rule Based Rendering Problem

I have created a query in the DB Manager SQL Window (data is in a
PostGIS database). The query is then added to the map as a layer.

I copy the style from another layer (rule based style), paste it to my
query layer and the polygons disappear from the map and QGIS gives a
nextFeature() without select() error. This also happens if I apply a qml
style file to the layer.

If I change the styles back to Single Symbol they do not come back. I
can see the records in the Attribute table, and I can select them and
zoom to them on the map, I just cannot see them. 

I have to re-add the query layer using the DB Manager SQL window again.

It only seems to be the polygon layers that cause problems at the
moment.

Does anyone know the cause of this?

[Qgis-developer] Tables without geometry force QGIS to incorrectly Zoom Full

[James Stott]

Can anyone else confirm this?

If I have a table with no geometry in my QGIS project, when I push the
Zoom Full button it zooms out further than the extent of the layers with
geometry.

If I remove the layer without geometry, the Zoom Full works as expected.

[Qgis-developer] Possible display bugs

[James Stott]

I am using QGIS Master on Windows 7 64bit.

Whenever I add a new layer to the map QGIS zooms to the extent of all
layers in the map. This can be very slow when using layers with lots of
data in them.

Also, if I select all of the layers in the layer control and untick
them, not all of them untick. It seems to untick different layers each
time I do it but not all of them.

Can anyone else reproduce?

[Qgis-developer] Scale bar problems with 2 maps on 1 composer

[James Stott]

I am getting a problem where if I have two maps on a composer. When I
reopen a project the scale bar is reverting to the wrong one (map 1
which is my inset map rather than map 0 which is my main map).

To reproduce, place two maps on a composer (set the 2nd one to a
different scale to the first one - in my project the maps are at 1:4
and 1:1).
Tell the scale bar to be linked to map 0.
Save project, close QGIS then reopen and load project again.
Open composer
Scale bar now is linked to map 1 not map 0 and the size of the bar will
have changed.

It seems to remember all the other settings (e.g. segment size stays the
same which leads the scale bar to be very wide).

Can anyone else confirm?

Using OSGEO4W qgis-dev.

RE: [Qgis-developer] Composer redesign

[James Stott]

Thank you Nathan that would be great if any of those things could happen. 
Controlling what updates would be one way around it.



I did have another thought with regards to multi line legend items, it could 
possibly be useful to allow the use of a character which signifies the need to 
use a new line, like in the new labelling where you can 'Wrap label on 
character'.



Andreas - good point, we always have a standard legend panel so it doesn't 
affect us - the legend always stays the same dimensions.

Jamas and Andreas,



I see what you mean.  It is a bit of a pain, not very ideal.



I'll see what I can do to improve this. Can't promise anything yes but I'll 
have look anyway.



I suspect a redesign of the legend widget to allow more finer control of each 
item is in order.  One thing I have thought of is control what gets updated 
when you click update e.g. only update style; only update text; update style 
and text.  Things like that.

That does do it for 2 but it then reverts back to what it was originally if you 
update the layer in the legend doesn't it or have I missed something?

I want to be able to update all legend items in one go and not have to tweak 
the legend text each time. Clients can be very good at changing the styles a 
lot (even when a map is pretty much finished) and if I update then I have to 
change the text again in the legend. It's very easy to forget to make the 
legend as it was before you updated it to reflect the style change.

Andreas, I use the following workaround for the 'Legend' Title text issue.

1) Place a rectangle on your composer as the boundary of your legend area.
2) Place a legend within the rectangle
3) For the legend, delete the text 'Legend'
4) On General Options for the legend, set it to have no frame and make it 
completely opaque (slide the opacity slider right to the left).
5) Then realign your legend on the composer so that the top item in the legend 
is just below the frame of the rectangle.

This will then make it look like there isn't a gap at the top of the legend.

 At least with the "Title" you also have to set the font to something
 really small (1pt), otherwise you would still get an empty row at the
 top of the legend. This is obvious if you also use a frame around the
 legend. Event with setting the font-very small you would still get more
 margin on top of the legend than on the bottom or the sides.

 For the groups or layernames - yes, you can delete them manually. But
 it would be more handy if one could suppress all of them with a
 checkbox. Whereas for groups and layers there is a manual workaround,
 for the "Title" there is no satisfying workaround in my opinion.

RE: [Qgis-developer] Composer redesign

[James Stott]

Nathan that would be really good if you could take a look at whether multi line 
item labels are possible.

That does do it for 2 but it then reverts back to what it was originally if you 
update the layer in the legend doesn’t it or have I missed something?

I want to be able to update all legend items in one go and not have to tweak 
the legend text each time. Clients can be very good at changing the styles a 
lot (even when a map is pretty much finished) and if I update then I have to 
change the text again in the legend. It's very easy to forget to make the 
legend as it was before you updated it to reflect the style change.

Andreas, I use the following workaround for the 'Legend' Title text issue.

1) Place a rectangle on your composer as the boundary of your legend area.
2) Place a legend within the rectangle
3) For the legend, delete the text 'Legend'
4) On General Options for the legend, set it to have no frame and make it 
completely opaque (slide the opacity slider right to the left).
5) Then realign your legend on the composer so that the top item in the legend 
is just below the frame of the rectangle.

This will then make it look like there isn't a gap at the top of the legend.

 At least with the "Title" you also have to set the font to something
 really small (1pt), otherwise you would still get an empty row at the
 top of the legend. This is obvious if you also use a frame around the
 legend. Event with setting the font-very small you would still get more
 margin on top of the legend than on the bottom or the sides.

 For the groups or layernames - yes, you can delete them manually. But
 it would be more handy if one could suppress all of them with a
 checkbox. Whereas for groups and layers there is a manual workaround,
 for the "Title" there is no satisfying workaround in my opinion.

RE: [Qgis-developer] Composer redesign

[James Stott]

The new composer works fine for me. Nice changes - I like the new layout. It's 
really good to see the composer getting some work on it.

Nathan, just out of interest do you know how much effort it would take to 
implement the following:

1)  Text over two lines for legend item text
2)  Tick boxes to allow you to turn off the following in the vector legend 
on a composer:
a.  Title text
b.  Group text
c.  Layer text

Number 1 above is really holding us back from producing our maps straight from 
QGIS. Some of the text that we have to put in legends is too long to go on one 
line, and just goes off the edge of the page.

2c above, we do not always want to show text for a layer name (Layer Text) but 
would rather show the text next to the swatch sample on the legend (i.e. Item 
Text in the legend). At the moment to work around this we have to set the layer 
name to nothing and use one of the rule based renderers to get text into the 
item text. The downside with this is that if you want to do anything with the 
layers (i.e. use them in any of the tools within QGIS); you cannot see the 
layer name in any of the drop down menus as we have set this to nothing. Having 
the ability to turn off the Layer text in the legend would enable us to give 
layers names, but not have them show up on the legend.

cool thanks! yeah - of course one can improve the drawing tools - but
the question is how far one should go. There are more powerful tools for

Currently one can use the templates. This works fine for my purpose.

Thanks for the improvements. No issues so far - I will send a bug-report
if I come across problems.

[Qgis-developer] Composers are not showing as seperate windows in Windows Taskbar

[James Stott]

I updated QGIS-dev this morning. When I open a composer it is not
showing as a separate window in Windows on the taskbar. When I minimise
a composer window it minimises within the QGIS main window.

Is this intentional or a bug?

Also the icons on the composer toolbars ignored the icon size of the
main QGIS window.

Has anyone else noticed that QGIS is crashing when you try and access

This happens if I double click on the layer in the layer panel or if I
right click and select properties.

It's a little late to add to this discussion, but I strongly support a
1.8 release, especially in light of the eminent API changes.

I love the new Browser dock window, and would like to see it in a
stable version.

[Qgis-developer] problems with Identify and select tool

[James Stott]

Has anyone else had problems with the identify and the select tool? They seem 
to have appeared in the last couple of days as it worked last week.

I get an error message whenever I click on the map with either tool.  It does 
this for every vector layer. It still returns values for the raster layer I am 
using as background mapping.

I am running 1.9.90.7 OSgeo4W.

The error is as follows:

Query Failed:
1 cursor states lost.
SQL: declare qgisf11 binary cursor for select 
"gid",asbinary("the_geom",'NDR'),"name"::text,"theme"::text,"themname"::text,"themid"::text,"status"::text,"perimeter"::text,"area"::text,"gridref"::text

Hi,

I can confirm that in my qgis-master on Ubuntu 11.10 the scale is going
crazy with epsg:3763 and others projected CRSs. Seems fine with WGS85.

The OSGeo download server has been running on a backup copy since a
power outage in San Diego. We hope to have something up next week so
that regularly scheduled uploads of packages can resume. Until then
nightly builds probably can't be uploaded without changes to the
existing workflow.
