Re: [Qgis-user] Ideas for QGIS plugin?
Hi, the two things which let me use ArcGIS are: 1- a better labelling method. A plugin to render correctly labels would make the difference. 2- The geostatistical analyst is a quick and easy way to make kriged maps, and explore interpolated datas.

[Qgis-user] FOSSGIS Höck in Solothurn
Please excuse cross-posting and german language, but this posting is addressed to the german speaking FOSSGIS community. -- 2. FOSSGIS Höck in Solothurn - Nachlese. Mit ca. 15 Teilnehmern aus Basel, Bern, Zürich, Uster, Thun, Burgdorf, Lausanne und Solothurn hat er unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Im Vordergrund des offiziellen Teils stand die Präsentation von QGIS 1.0 durch Marco Hugentobler. Er hat gezeigt, dass QGIS 1.0 sich zu einem veritablen Desktop GIS entwickelt hat, dass nicht nur der Kanton Solothurn, sondern auch die Städte Uster und Thun im produktiven Umfeld einsetzen. Ausserdem wird QGIS zunehmend in Entwicklungsprojekten auf der ganzen Welt verwendet und von den Geldgebern gewünscht. Im anschliessenden, gemütlichen Teil des Höcks wurden Ideen und Gedanken rund um das Thema FOSSGIS ausgetauscht. Unser Fazit aus dem Höck ist: eine schweizerische FOSSGIS Community existiert und es lohnt sich diese zu pflegen. Deshalb werden wir Zukunft etwa im halbjahres Rhythmus wieder zu einem Solothurner FOSSGIS Höck einladen. Dr. Horst Düster GIS-Koordinator, Stv.

[Qgis-user] Feature inquiry: Multiple display windows?
Hello, Qgis community: I am not yet a QGIS user, but I'd like to know if QGIS supports several map display windows, possibly cooperating. One of the things I do most in my current GIS (which I am only partly satisfied with) is to compare two rasters. It would be nice to plot them in separate windows, and when pan/zooming around in one, the other would update its extent and show the same area. I also frequently have lots of raster windows up simultaneously, from the QGIS screenshots this does not appear common usage. To take it even further, the two maps could actually be time series, for instance repeated satellite images and simulated snow cover from a distributed hydrology model. Then also next/previous-buttons could be added to the display windows, again affecting both windows simultaneously. If I was to program such functionality (in C++, I don't speak Python), would it be standard plugin procedure using QGIS API,or would the display/GUI part of it require deep revisions of existing QGIS code?

[Qgis-user] print composer scalebar help?
The print composer has me kind of stumped... What I'd like is a simple scale bar to indicate how long a mile (or perhaps 2,5, or 10 miles) is on my map. The project units are in feet (but I'm not sure that's relevant in the composer?). When I try entering the exact input that's used in the screenshot in the manual (page 96) thinking that might get me somewhere at least, the bar ends up going kind of crazy (becomes off-the-map really long, and unselectable, but I'm able to resize it so that it's at least not on the canvas). Can someone suggest which numbers to enter to accomplish this? And/or perhaps explain what the fields in that dialog mean? I'm using 1.0, from the OSGeo distribution for WIndows. ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] print composer scalebar help?
Hi Ross, The print composer has me kind of stumped... What I'd like is a simple scale bar to indicate how long a mile (or perhaps 2,5, or 10 miles) is on my map. The project units are in feet (but I'm not sure that's relevant in the composer?). No this doesn't matter to much to the composer, but it does to you... Essentially all you have to think about is this: If your map scale is say 1:20 000 (feet), then in the 'Map units per bar unit', you'll probably want 1, and in the 'Segment size (map units)' you'll likely want 20 000. This will give you a nice scale bar, and you can specify how many segments to display etc. Now in your case, if your map units are in feet, but you want to show miles in the scale bar, then you have to do the conversion yourself. Since 1 foot = 0.000189393939 miles, or 1 mile = 5280 feet you can simply change the 'Map units per bar unit' value from 1 to 5280. Now, if you are still getting funny things happening, it could be that your map units are indeed not in feet, in which case, you'll have to figure out what they really are ;-) If I'm completely wrong here, please someone let me know, otherwise, I hope this helps...
