Re: [Qgis-user] A few processing models

[johnrobot]

Thanks, Charles. I didn´t know that site, but I´ll add my models there as
well. There seems to be only 4 models there, so there should be room for
additional ones.

[Qgis-user] A few processing models

[johnrobot]

Hi
In case you are interested in QGIS Processing models,
https://github.com/magnusnil/QGIS-Processing might be relevant. I have
published a few models there from recent projects and I plan to add more of
them.

Regards,

Magnus

Re: [Qgis-user] Can´t open Processing model

[johnrobot]

Hi
I tried View - Panels - Log Messages and in the Processing tab I found:

CRITICALCould not load model C:/Users/johnr/Desktop/Subnet Areas.model3

Not much help, I´m afraid. However, I downloaded the model3 file again, and
now it opens just fine. Sorry for the noise.

[Qgis-user] Can´t open Processing model

[johnrobot]

Hi
I´m trying to open a .model3 file, downloaded from
https://github.com/mattmarotta/QGIS-Subnet-Areas. When opening it in
Processing, QGIS says "The selected model could not be loaded. See the log
for more information". Which log would that be? If I open Processing -
History..., the window only contains "ALGORITHM", no further information. It
would be helpful if QGIS could tell me why I can not open the model. Tried
on QGIS 3.16.0 64 bit, Windows 10.

Magnus

[Qgis-user] Running R scripts in Processing

[johnrobot]

Hi
I am trying to run a few simple R scripts in Processing. I have tried
examples from
https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/training_manual/processing/r_intro.html
and https://north-road.github.io/qgis-processing-r/ex_vector_output/.
However, when I hit "Run", nothing happens. I was expecting the script to
produce results or an error message. Any suggestions on what I might have
missed?

QGIS 3.15.0-Master on Windows 10, 64 bit.

Re: [Qgis-user] Missing DLLs for processing standalone console tool

[johnrobot]

Hi
I managed to get qgis_process working for running an algorithm, for example
using

qgis_process run native:dissolve --FIELD="[]"
--INPUT="C:\Eget\GIS\Geodata\Översiktskartan\ak_riks.shp"
--OUTPUT="C:\Eget\GIS\Geodata\Översiktskartan\ak_riks_dissolved.shp

However, I struggle a bit with running a model. When I try

qgis_process run
C:\Users\johnr\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\default\processing\models\Test.model3

I get

ERROR: The following mandatory parameters were not specified

        Ytor:   Ytor
        native:dissolve_1:Resultat:     Resultat

What do I need to specify? Not totally obvious to me. The paths to input and
output data sets are already defined in the model. I have not found any
examples of how to run a model.

Re: [Qgis-user] Missing DLLs for processing standalone console tool

[johnrobot]

Hi
Thanks for your help, Andrea. I´m using the standalone installer, my
impression was that the Windows prompt (cmd.exe) could be used to launch a
model (.model3) using this feature. Is that incorrect and I have to use the
OSGeo4W shell instead? I don´t see this in the documentation, or any mention
of environment variables.

I am trying to use the processing standalone console tool, but when I run

missing: Qt5Widgets.dll, Qt5Core.dll, exiv2.dll and Qt5Xml.dll. Is there
anything that I have to install in addition to QGIS? The only documentation
I have found so far is

[Qgis-user] DataPlotly questions/suggestions

[johnrobot]

Hi
I recently tested the DataPlotly (impressive work!) plugin and I have a few
questions/suggestions:

- Can I change the font for the plot title, legend title and X/Y labels? I
don´t see a setting for this.

- Wouldn´t it be great if one could publish a layout as an online resource
for additional interactivity? As an alternative to Power BI presentations
but with a geodata focus? I guess this a rather massive task.

- When I try adding DataPlotly in a processing model, I get an error:


Exception: unknown Traceback (most recent call last):

Re: [Qgis-user] Read non-geo JSON data in QGIS

[johnrobot]

Hi Luigi
Thanks for the suggestion. However, I was aiming for a more native, generic
solution for working with JSON data in QGIS. I would like to be able to
read, process and write JSON data with a processing model in QGIS. See for
example how FME handles JSON,
https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/39188/tutorial-getting-started-with-json.html.
Creating my own data provider and the model algorithms for processing the
data is out of my scope at the moment.

(or

to be specific). Is there a native way of doing that or is

[Qgis-user] Selecting a part of an attribute

[johnrobot]

Hi
I have an attribute (named "Koordinater") with coordinate pairs, such as
"6417192.227, 326926.702", and I would like to exctract the two coordinates
into separate attributes. Using the field calculator seems to be the way to
do this, for example:

left( "Koordinater",  strpos( "Koordinater" , ','))

When I runt this in the field calculator from the attribute table, I get
"6417192.227", but when I run the field calculator in Processing with the
same configuration, I get "6417192.227,". Note the extra "," at the end. Am
I missing something or could this be a bug? I use QGIS 3.4.3, 64 bit, on
Windows 10.

Magnus

[Qgis-user] QNEAT3

[johnrobot]

Hi
I am having issues using the QNEAT3 plugin in QGIS 3.4.1:

- When I run the tool "Iso-Area as Polygons" it starts listing "Adding xyz
Nodes to the pointcloud...". However, after a few minutes of calculations,
it seems to get stuck at 40% and the windows goes blank. If I click the
scroll bar, I can see that new nodes are added. Improved feedback to user
would help.

- Using a layer of two points, it takes some 2-3 hours of calculations to
create the polygon layer output and parts of it seem incorrect (a wide,
unnatural hole from west to east in the polygons).

- Using a layer of 5 points, it takes some 24 hours and the result seems
completely wrong (only a fraction of the poygons are created.

- Also, would it make sense to add support for OpenCL (recently added in
QGIS) for speeding up the calculations?

Regards,

Magnus

I had a look at the python examples at

layer = iface.activeLayer()
for f in layer.getFeatures():
  print geom.asPoint()

QGIS crashes and creates a dump file. Is this a known issue? Running

layer = iface.activeLayer()
for f in layer.getFeatures():
  geom = f.geometry()
  print geom.asPoint()

works fine. I use Windows 10, 64 bit and QGIS 2.18.9, 64 bit.

I do not want disable to all of the packages (GRASS etc), but I think that

Re: [Qgis-user] Processing - Duplicate tools for reprojecting

[johnrobot]

I´m not convinced that having all these duplicates is a good thing. Do we
really need 13 buffering tools? Why not try to minimize this? Having
multiple tools for the same task only makes it harder for users and
developers. Does QGIS have to expose all of the tools just because it is
possible?

[Qgis-user] Processing documentaton and help

[johnrobot]

Hi
I have been testing building models in processing and I have found a few
areas where we could improve the help and documentation:

- In the list of tools, most of the tools only show their name, while some
(GRASS) also show a description of the tool in the list. I would prefer if
only the names are listed and that the description is shown in a separate
window. That would make the interfae cleaner.

- Most tools seem to lack description in the help tab. Are there any
guidelines on what must be included in this tab? Is it up the the supplier
of the tool or can others help to create and improve the documentation as
well?

- Is there a collection of well structured and documented models somewhere?
That would help users get up to speed and learn best practice. I think that
this should be incuded when downloading QGIS or available on qgis.org.

Magnus

[Qgis-user] Processing questions/suggestions

[johnrobot]

Hi
I have used other tools for ETL tasks for many years and I would like to see
how much of that can be done in QGIS processing instead. I have done some
tests and I have a few questions on processing models:

- Is it possible to filter features based on attribute values? For example,
filter all features with an attribute value > 5.

- I tried to find a way to rename attribute names. After some googling I
found the tool "Refactor fields". I think that this tool should appear in
the list when a user searches for "rename".

- Is it possible to attach comments to the objects in the model? I would
like to attach comments to some objects, such as explaining why a specific
tool is used. I noticed that adding comments is possible in the model help,
but it would be even better to attach these comments to each tool.

- I noticed that undo/redo doesn´t seem to work for moving/rearranging
objects. Wouldn´t that be helpful?

- I expect some models to grow rather complex and I would like to arrange
groups of tools in boxes to make it easier to understand the model for new
users. That is currently not possible, right?

- I would like the model to display the number of features going through the
model, preferably in the real time as the model is running. This would help
the user understand the data and handle errors better.

- Why does the user have to define the tool input inside the tool? I think
it would be easier if this was possible in the model window instead.

- When I double click a model in the processing toolbox, the window for
running the model opens. I would prefer if the model window opens instead.
Is there a way of configuring this?

Should I open tickets for any of these ideas?

Best regards,

Magnus

[Qgis-user] Moved labels disappear

[johnrobot]

Hi
When I move a few labels manually, they disappear. The labels that I don´t
move still render. If I disable the data defined label positions (labelX and
labelY), the missing labels render again, but not in the desired position of
course. "Show all labels" is checked. What am I missing? QGIS 2.14.0,
Windows 7.

[Qgis-user] Trouble keeping layer effects when exporting layout

[johnrobot]

Hi
I use layer effects (inner glow) for polygon borders and I export the layout
to a jpg image. When I set the polygon border style to none, the exported
image looks fine. However, when I select a colour, such as white, the colour
seems to override the layer effect and the layer effect is lost where
polygons meet. It is not lost on polygons that do not share borders with
other polygons. This issue is only related to the exported image, all looks
fine in the layout in QGIS. Any suggestions on how to keep both the border
style/colour and the layer effect?

Regards,

Magnus

Re: [Qgis-user] Project file data loss

[johnrobot]

This seems very much like my case. The layers are still defined when opening
the file in a text editor, but QGIS only opens the layer group (in the layer
list, not the map). My project also contained virtual layers. Could that be
the problem?

Hi
Yes, I will start making regular backups of the project file. In this case,
the .qgs~ file had the same problem as the original file, so I had to start
over with the project file. QGIS did not report any issues when saving
yesterday.

I opened a ticket, http://hub.qgis.org/issues/14731#change-69785. I will add
more information there if I am able to reproduce this.

[Qgis-user] Project file data loss

[johnrobot]

Hi
When opening a .qgs file used yesterday, I noticed that the project had lost
almost all of the data, such as linked SHP-files. I have lost a few hours of
work due to this and this is a bit worrying for further work. It is this
first time I observe this and I am the only one working with the project
file. Any suggestions on how to narrow this down? I would like to find the
cause of this.

I am looking into drive time analysis using QGIS. A typical question would

Just in case anyone else is in the same situation, here is what I did to

I was unable to get the intervals to show up in the legend and my work

style them as points, there you get access to the full styling engine.

[Qgis-user] Processing ideas and questions

[johnrobot]

Hi
I have a few ideas on how to improve the model builder in processing:

- Support for adding/attaching comments to any component. That would, for
example, help explaining why a specific tool is used. Great for
documentation purposes.
- Open a model by just dropping it in QGIS.
- Support for attaching external files with the processed results. That way,
I could run a model and deliver the results to the client and have all the
necessary documentation included automatically.
- Support for sending an e-mail when the model has finished processing.
- To me, the tools seem to use to much screen space. I can of course resize
them, but I suggest that we make them as small as possible from start.
- Support for undo/redo.
- Removing an object by selecting it and hitting the delete button.
- Make the tools hightlight necessary missing parameter input.
- Support for writing to SQL Server, much like there already is support for
writing to PostGIS.
- I would like to see the number of features coming from each data
set/component in every connection in the model.

What are your impressions of these suggestions? Are any of them already
covered? Should I open tickets?

Down the road, I would like to publish processing models in a web interface
(not a view of the actual models, but an interface for managing and running
them) , so that non-technical users can process and access the data, much
like FME Server. I recently found wps4server. Would that be a possible way
forward for this? I would like to use a simple web page for running the
models and access the data.

Regards,

Magnus

[Qgis-user] Pie charts i QGIS 2.14

[johnrobot]

Hi
I would like to draw pie charts/circles for a polygon layer using data from
the attribute table, for example population data. I have tried using
properties- diagram, but it doesn´t seem to match what I am looking for. I
would like to see this:

- Based on attribute values, draw pie charts/circles.
- Let me choose outline and fill colours/patterns.
- Let me choose data intervals and the circle size for each interval.

What would be the best way of achieving this in QGIS? I found
https://github.com/LCacheux68224/ProportionalCircles, but it seems that I
have to involve our IT department to install QGIS plugins, since I do not
have admin rights on my computer.

Magnus

[Qgis-user] Web/server interface for SEXTANTE modeler?

[johnrobot]

Are there any (long-term) plans on creating a web/server interface for
SEXTANTE modeler? I think that it could be very useful to interact with
models via a web interface, for example for letting users upload their data
and have QGIS / the modeler process them. When the model has finished
processing, the user could download the output from a link / e-mail. This
workflow would help automate the workflow and make it depend less on a
specific person.

A huge step forward and it provides some FME-like capabilities. When working
a bit with SEXTANTE, a few ideas/issues have come up:

1
When trying to run v.buffer (and quite a few other tools as well), I get
this error message:
Ett fel har inträffat vid Pythonexekvering:

When hovering with the mouse over a tool in the toolbox, how about showing a
short explanation on what the tool does?

3
When defining folders, such as the Saga folder, how about using a file
window instead of a blank space for entering the path? This seems easier to
me.

4
A lot of windows, such as the ftools – Centroids, seem to use a lot of space
for no reason. I think that they should be as small as possible.

5
Quite a few buttons, such as the About SEXTANTE – Close, seem much to large.

5
The help button, the ”?”, doesn´t seem to provide any additional
information. Is this planned? Otherwise, I think that it should be removed.

6
I see quite a few abbreviations, such as ”src filename”, ”maxdist”,
”hspacing” and ”patval”. To me, this can be confusing in some cases, and I
think that the full text should be provided. Not sure if this is defined in
the tool and outside of SEXTANTE.

7
When trying to add a tool in the modeller and there is a parameter values
missing, the missing values should be highlighted to guide the user.

8
The user should be able to inspect/edit added components in the modeller,
using for example a double click or a right click.

9
I would like to see some undo/redo functionality in the modeller.

10
Modeller: When shifting between ”Design” and ”Python code”, the view in
”Design” is sometimes shifted.

I use QGIS 1.7.4 and SEXTANTE 1.0.4 on Win Vista 64 bit.

Magnus

[Qgis-user] Re: SEXTANTE - a few ideas/issues

[johnrobot]

Hi
I have created tickets for these issues now. I misreported 5427 as a bug,
though. It should be a feature.

About #5: Open any tool. Next to the close button, you will find the help
button, the ”?”.

[Qgis-user] WFS problems

[johnrobot]

Hi
I have noticed two possible QGIS bugs:

#1 - - QGIS hangs when adding a WFS
I add the WFS layer sf.streams from a fresh installation of GeoServer and
QGIS freezes.


#2 -  QGIS hangs when editing a WFS
I add a WFS and go into edit mode. QGIS hangs when I edit a node from a
GeoServer localhost WFS and try to exit edit mode.

Are these known issues? I use QGIS 1.7.3, Windows 7 64-bit.

[Qgis-user] WebGL in QGIS

[johnrobot]

Hi
Is anyone working on adding WebGL support to QGIS? It could, for example, be
used for exporting a project to an advanced web site. For more information
and quite a few WebGL examples, have a look at:

[Qgis-user] Re: Very slow performance with large SHP files, with over 200k objects

[johnrobot]

Would it make sense to add OpenCL / CUDA support for, initially, at least
some parts of QGIS?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA 

I think that this could speed things up a bit.
