[Qgis-developer] How to generate DTM iso-curves of QGis canvas ?

2014-02-11 Thread Geo DrinX
Hello all,


a simple question:)

How to generate the SHP curves  of a DTM layer ,  only inside the current
QGis view,  quickly and faster ?

I tested with Processing   Grass   Nviz ...   but nothing appears  (after
10 minutes of waiting... )

Other ideas ?   For example,  the  gdal_contour  command  can also take as
input a window ?


Thank you in advance for any info about it

Hello Roberto,

If your DTM raster is in *.bil or *.asc format then you can use LAStools'
las2iso or blast2iso from the LiDAR Processing toolbox. All LAStools have
native support for the BIL and ASC formats and convert these rasters
on-the-fly into a point-cloud on a grid.

Regards,

Martin @rapidlasso

Ok.  :)

But,  my DTM is a simple GeoTIFF.  :(

Do you know if  gdal  permits  to create  curves from a GeoTIFF  DTM,
clipped  by  a rectangle BBOX ?

Perhaps,  I need to clip my DTM, before, with  the  gdal_translate   and
then  send the result to  gdal_contour ...

There is no way to do it in a single shot ?   :)

Who knows ?


Thank you
