Re: [Qgis-user] Ideas for QGIS plugin?

Hi Martin

 Even more work is underway! We're going to release a native C++
 OpenStreetMap provider for QGIS in few days. It will come also with
 OSM downloader and (very experimental) upload.

That is great news!
I can't wait to do some OSM mapping with QGIS :-)

Regards,
Marco

 Creating another OSM plugin would therefore cause just code duplication.

Re: [Qgis-user] Color table for raster map

2009-02-02 Thread Peter Ersts

Agustin,

Sorry for my delayed response.

The three color ramp types are, Exact, Discrete, and Interpolated. 
Interpolated is the type you are looking for, I has seriously considered 
changing it to linear.


If you have two entries in your color table 0 = black 10 = white.
0 ,0,0,0,255,Black
10,255,255,255,255, White

Exact will only shade pixel values 0 and 10, all other pixel values will 
be ignored.


Discrete is like a bin ( 0 = pixel  10 shade as white) so pixel value 
of 5 would he shaded as white ( 255, 255, 255, 255 )


Interpolated is basically a linear interpolation between two colors. In 
this example 5 would be shaded as ( 128, 128, 128, 255 ).  **note, 
currently the alpha value is always 255 for the interpolated color and 
should probably be marked as a bug.

Peter,

What would be the equivalent rules for a continuous pseudocolor table
(i.e., INTERPOLATION::LINEAR ?)
Actually, do you have some standard pseudocolor tables (i.e., terrain
colors) already made?

Thanks
Agus

2009/1/14 Peter Ersts er...@amnh.org:
  

The easies way is to make a text file (classification.txt) and add the color
entries by hand. So the contents of the file will look like:

INTERPOLATION::EXACT
11,0,0,255,255,Post-flooding or irrigated croplands (or aquatic)
14,0,255,0,255,Rainfed croplands
20,255,0,255,Mosaic cropland (50-70%) / vegetation
(grassland/shrubland/forest) (20-50%)


This will set pixels 11 to blue, 14 to green and 20 to red. The format is
really basic.
pixel value, red, green, blue, alpha, label (no commas)

Then on the colormap tab, you can click the Load color map from file
button, second one from the top right.

Eventually it is planned that it will be able to read a variety of different
colormap formats.

I've got a landcover map in raster format (a tif file)
from GLOBOVER
(http://postel.mediasfrance.org/en/BIOGEOPHYSICAL-PRODUCTS/Land-Cover/)
The raster is opened in QGIS as Single Band Grey
How can I set an arbitrary color table? I can see how
to set a ramp, but this is a classified image, in which
integer values stand for different types
i,e,:
11Post-flooding or irrigated croplands (or aquatic)
14Rainfed croplands
20Mosaic cropland (50-70%) / vegetation (grassland/shrubland/forest)
(20-50%)

for which different colors should be set as in unique value
for vector maps.

Thanks

Check out newly uploaded version 0.4.7, maybe it will fix this problem.

[Qgis-user] TIFFSetField error

2009-02-02 Thread Agustin Lobo
I've upgraded the windows version with the OSGeo4W installer and now I 
get an error regarding TIFFSetField and lintiff.dll

I've reinstalled libtiff but still get the same problem. Any solution?

 Indeed, I don't think it's possible.

Chris,
could you please explain your statement why it isn't possible?

2009-02-02 Thread Aaron Racicot
I assume he was talking about trying to recreate the nice Mapnik generated
styling (labeling etc) that is found on the OSM website.  I think it would
be pretty much impossible to create such styling with the current state of
labeling etc.
