Re: [Qgis-user] mobile gis and geotag on pocketpc?

2009-04-22 Thread Fafner

Thanx all
I installed gvSIG Mobile (the download with PhoneME Virtual Machine
included) and it seem to run OK, found some satellites and could load simple
shape files. JPG, TIFs etc didnt load, looks like one have to export them
from gvSIG desktop to gvSIG Mobile, will try that.

No Perl on the Ipaq (to my knowledge). Will synchronise clocks (lol) and try
to use the gps tracklog for the tagging on the desktop. And then have a go
with Peter Ersts exif data provider. Will be fun.

going to have to switch back and forth between them manually?  Thanks for

Hi,

I have to symbolize our community's waste water network. My problem is

As an example the stroke should be derived from one attribute while the

different attribute. This means I would need more than one symbolization
rule to correctly style this layer.

Is this possible with QGIS or would I need to create a new attribute
combining those attributes in a single attribute for symbolization?

2009-04-22 Thread maning sambale
So this is possible in a plugin? Kewl!

Slightly off-topic, would it be nice to create a plugin for
customizing key-bindings of QGIS functions?  Some functions have
shorcut keys while others don't.  One of the toolset that can greatly
benefit are the navigation (zoom and pan) and digitizing tools (toggle
to edit, add vertex, move vertex, etc.).

With the ever increasing monitor screen size, I find it cumbersome to
move and click the mouse just to call a certain function.
Just thinking out loud here :)

 Hi Luca,

 You can probably do this via the keyPressEvent() of your plugin dialog:

 def keyPressEvent( self, e ):
   if ( e.modifiers() == Qt.ControlModifier or e.modifiers() ==
 Qt.MetaModifier ) and e.key() == Qt.Key_Some_Key:
     # run the tool
   else:
     QDialog.keyPressEvent( self, e )

 Hope that helps,

 Carson

This would certainly be useful, the only issue is that many plugins and 
tools manage their key bindings themselves, so it would be difficult to 
change these without direct access to the plugin in question...


...or maybe not if someone else knows some Qt magic that I don't ;-p

Re: [Qgis-user] Multiple Symbolization Rules per Layer

2009-04-22 Thread Andreas Neumann
Hi Agus,

while I agree that your suggestion makes sense and would help for many
purposes, in my case it wouldn't help.

What I wanted to do is to style line elements according to three different
attributes. In my case I have to handle the waste-water network.

* Attribute Utility should define the line-color
* Attribute accuracy should define stroke-dashing
* Attribute hierarchical_function should define stroke-width

You cannot solve this problem through multiple loading of the same layer.
The only current way is by concatenating the three attributes into a
single attribute and than style all the combinations. Of course this can
be quite a lot of work and not very elegant if you have a lot of
combinations. If you have three distinct values for every attribute, you
already have 27 different cases to handle.

Andreas

[Qgis-user] Data-defined rendering of rotated ellipses

2009-04-22 Thread Andreas Neumann
Hi again,

For my same waste-water project I need to render ellipses based on
attributes. Two attributes define the two-half-axis of the ellipse,
another attributes define the rotation. These ellipses represent manhole
points in the waste-water network.

I know how to define the rotation of symbols - but is there a way to
render ellipses based on the two half-axis?

Are there any ideas?

If not - I think I will create SVG symbols and classify the different
sizes into different ellipse-symbols and apply the rotation.

Thanks,
Andreas

 For a future QGIS version it would be cool if there would either support for:

 * data-defined styling for stroking/filling - as you already do with
 data-defined text-styles.

 Multiple symbolization would also be cool for multiple symbolizations of
 the same layer for different map scales (without having to load the layer
 multiple times). Autodesk Map3D handles this nicely.

It would be surely nice to have these features...
The new generation symbology I'm developing doesn't include neither of
them, but I'm trying to keep it extensible so such addition in future
would be possible. I think this is one of the features where creating
usable GUI is actually harder than the implementation itself :)

Hi Nikos,

I don't want to repeat how useful your plugins are. Rather, I want to

yes, eventually...

* command auto-complete function
  

definitely... soon

I have started to address this (you can change the background and text

only the main application is supposed to have a menu bar, so I will 
likely have to find alternative ways of doing this...


Hopefully that's what you were hoping to hear. Please let me know if you

I am not really a GUI-friend but certain tasks need a simple, clean and
functional GUI (e.g. theme changer - would be nice to have). Anyhow, in
the case of manage-R I think it is (currently) enough to have a more
functional CLI (i.e. the features that, as you wrote, are comming -
can't wait :-).

If my head generates more ideas I'll post them. For example a quick
idea:

Let's say that by hitting Ctrl+K (or any other key) you get on the top
10 lines a permanent text-body which won't scroll-away as you run your
code, scroll up-N-down, etc. There you can put... well, whatever might
be needed from a user: usage shortcuts, etc.

Kindest regards, Nikos

Just for the records:

I use a lot the JGR [1] to work with R. I like the separation of the
Console (command line interface) and the Response panel (aka output) as
well as the extra Editor window. You can play with multiple
scripts/code, edit and save your code, run only selected code from the
Editor window (though run one line at a time is missing) and more.

But somehow, this Java-App makes my machine like a Rocket about to
launch! In addition, the missing direct-communication with QGIS
(which manage-R offers) is not attractive for QGIS users.

Certainly at some point. But I think that the trac is actually not
easily followed by users. Actually, what I'm doing now is the other way 
around:

I'm incorporating to a newer page all the tickets labeled as improvements +
those currently listed in my page and including the link to the ticket.
The idea behind all this is that ideas for enhancements must be discussed
and agreed upon by users before they become tickets. Hopefully users
should also establish priorities.
