Tim: agreed fully. Too often we have requests from users, too rarely we
have help.
Please, users, note that there is a huge amount of work and brain behind
QGIS: consider helping the project, e.g. translating manuals and
interfaces, hiring a developer for bugfixing and new features, or donating
to the project.
All the best.

Hi all.
This has been discussed several times. I think a mechanism analogous to the
py plugin installer would be the best, with the possibility of adding
symbols both from various repos and from local directories.
I think there should be a ticket open on this: could you please check, and
if not, add it?
Thanks.

Could I make an appeal to you not to write code that is locked to a
single platform (e.g. COM). We take great pains to make GIS run on all
platforms and using proprietary technology such as COM undermines this
effort and perpetuates Microsofts monopoly

Of course it also cuts your potential user base to just those using
windows when you could be making software that us millions of Linux QGIS
could enjoy too...

Hi

The counter side to the 'FOSS developers expect users to be compiling

The process is inherently going to be technical and I think if people
are too overwhelmed by the technicalities of compiling their own
software, it is better to appeal for the plugin / patch etc. to be
included in the next official binary release and wait for that. For
those that like to delve into compiling themselves we have the CODING
document in the root of the source dir and on the wiki. I will probably
work a little to update the windows compilation guide (using MSVC)
during the hackfest (I don't have the bandwidth here to repeat the
process from scratch and check the documentation along the way).

Best regards

Re: [Qgis-user] inserting symbols into qgis

[John C. Tull]

Hi All,

Sorry to hijack the topic (and the dev x-post), but this thread  
prompted me to bring up a general issue with custom symbols. The  
current structure for adding new symbols on OS X is pretty poor  
(perhaps on other OS's as well?). It requires the user to copy the  
relevant svg files to a location inside of an application bundle.  
Hence, the changes have to be done with every update of the program.


It would be much better if there was an svg directory inside of the  
same directory where plugins are stored, ~/.qgis on OS X. This would  
maintain symbols across versions and new builds of the program.


For any hackfesters out there, perhaps this can make it on the todo  
list. If this possibility already exists, please correct me.


Regards,
John

So how to add the symbols.

Hi,

SVG is a hybrid format. It can also embed raster images  
(jpg,png). So
theoretically you could embed your existing symbols in a raster  
(with a
SVG shell around it). However, this is not recommended since the  
raster

images don't scale properly. They would get pixely/or blurry when
enlarged.

SVG is the best choice for scalable symbols.

If you want quick results and don't care about quality you could  
still
embed the rasters (you can embed them base64 encoded in the data  
URL),
so you only have one file and not two files. In Inkscape (at  
least in

0.47) you can embed the image in the SVG by using "Extensions" -->
"Images" --> "Embed Images".

Hope this helps,
Andreas

ok - you need to export to "plain svg" not to "Inkscape SVG". I am still 
surprised that Inkscape SVG is not valid - it should. Try to see if 
"plain svg" works fine and that you have an up-to-date Inkscape (0.46 or 
0.47)

Re: [Qgis-developer] Re: [Qgis-user] qgis2google

[G. Allegri]

Nice topic.
My two cents. We cannot ask a "power user" to release its tools
cross-platform as a requirement. This is a must for the official
development, but probably most of the power users work on a single
environment.
So we can kindly ask for the possibility to have a tool
cross-platform, but if the developer cannot accomplish it (at least
not immediatly) a clear "how-to" to compile by ourselves could fill
the time gaps between cross-platform releases.

I think it would help a lot to make make an effort to standardize the
compile/build process for Linux (it's already quite easy), Windows
(not so easy!!!), Mac (I don't know...) to put an end-user, if he
wants, to compile plugins (both C++ and python) by itself.
I've tried with Windows... but I've given up, lost between nmake,
MSVC, different libraries flavours, manglings between OsGeo4W
libraries and the system's ones... Jurgen knows what I'm talking about
:-(

Anyway, I'm on the research side of the story. I prefer to use then compile :)

Re: [Qgis-user] how to size a vector layer polygon

[Fred LaPlante]

Thanks for the suggestion Borys. 

Sorry, but qgsAffine plugin seems to only rotate or translate entire polygon.  


I need to be able to adjust a single side at a time to a specific length.

"OpenJump" does it nicely, showing the direction and length (at the bottom of the screen) of 
each line segment as you draw it out. As I recall "Azimuth & Distance" plugin would do 
the same.

Wow, where's that plugin?

I hope qgsAffine plugin could help you. It seems to work with trunk. Please test 
it on a copy of your real data because it changes the working layer.

Re: [Qgis-user] how to size a vector layer polygon

[Fred LaPlante]

Hi Craig, thanks for the reply.

First item to be aware of is that this a rural area, about 30% farm 
land, the rest forested. There is NO official surveyed benchmark in the 
area, only one state bridge, and one highway intersection.


The scanned maps in question are property tax maps (8-1/2 x 11 reduced 
in 2 stages from original size D). I used the GeoReference plugin for 
qGIS.  The maps in most cases have been rotated by the author to fit the 
paper, rather than having North at the top. Also most of the 15 maps 
have few recognizable features that can be recognized on either a 
Topographic map or an aerial photo - some as few as three.  I have used 
the highest degree polynomial possible in every case, but they are 
seldom evenly spread over each surface. The resulting distortion is 
terrible; I find that many of the resulting land parcel boundaries are 
in the middle of obviously plowed fields, some run through the middle of 
houses, etc.


I have redrawn all the roads using aerial photos as a guide, adding 
proper right of way buffers and am now in the process of adjusting 
boundaries to fit the roads. In some cases, but not all, there are 
dimensions for the parcel sides. It is those I am trying to get to the 
proper size.  My hope is that by getting those sides to the proper 
dimensions, and adjusting others to hedgerows, stream center lines 
(where appropriate), etc. I can get a reasonably good approximation of 
the land parcels.


I got a lead on the program "OpenJump"  which indeed will show line 
lengths (and direction) when you draw a line or polygon.  Unfortunately 
it seems not to have any means to work with mixed projections. If  I can 
get it to work I will probably use OpenJump to adjust my shapefiles, and 
then pull into qGIS.  But I would prefer to stay in a single software 
package if possible.  I had hoped someone would point me to a fix or 
update to the Azimuth & distance plugin.

What method did you use to georeference your scanned maps? If you
haven't tried it already, try a higher order polynomial. I think you
will want to georeference the scanned map as best you can rather than
trying to manipulate the vector map. In case of the latter you would
be better off in a CAD app.

[Qgis-user] getting started: home/qgis_sample_data/gml/lakes.gml data source invalid or unknown

[Aldo Piombino]

hello, I'm beginning to learn qgis with ubuntu 09.04. but I have a very 
early problem: I have downloaded the "qgis sample data suite". As the  
"qgis manual" says, I opened the raster "landcover.img". but when I try 
to open the vectorial layer "lakes.gml" the loading system write:  
/qgis_sample_data/gml/lakes.gml data source invalid or unknown, even if 
the loading system writes that I'm searching a *.gml or *.GML file.


In what am I wrong?

thanks

ps: I have the 1.o.1.kore version

As one of those 'normal' users, I agree with the posts about not wanting to
compile and other developer type stuff.  But, I also think that is's
important to commend the 'super-normal' developers that create these amazing
tools for us normal users to be able to focus on our research.

I guess we need policy written out for C++ plugins, how users are

Hi all,

a little announcement, we've made a new version of our plugin. It
gives QGIS several tools for interacting with Google Earth. You can
quickly send a feature or the whole layer to GE keeping current layer
symbology or override it with your own one. Unique values and single
symbol legends are supported.

More info: http://gis-lab.info/qa/qgis2google-eng.html

It is tested and working under Windows/OSGeo4W/trunk and source code is
available
for linux hackers.

Hello, just wandering if is there a way to apply to vector classes 
predefined colour classes, like Corine land cover colours or altitude 
levels or even a grayscale.


I saw no way in the symbology tab other than:
a) leave the default random colour
b) manually enter the colours entry-by-entry
b) load a precedently saved style

I think it would be nice to have a drop-down select that would allow 
to use some largely used colour scales.


As alternative, is there somewhere a public repository of Qgis colour 
styles?

[Qgis-user] Help...

[Paul Malan]

Hi, my name is Paul(South Africa) - I am a relatively new user...

I tried to install QGIS 1.3 Mimas on a new PC - OS is Win XP SP3.
When I try to start the program after installation, the following error came
up:

--
C:\Program Files\Quantum GIS Mimas\bin\qgis.exe
This application has failed to start because the application configuration
is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem
--

I did try to reinstall, with the same results - does anybody have a
suggestion? 

Regards

Paul

Re: [Qgis-user] Predefined colour legend

[Lionel Roubeyrie]

Hi,
we all wait for the new symbology system :)
If you want, I have qgis-styles files for Corin Land Cover level 1, 2 and 3, but 
in french...

Cheers

Hello, just wandering if is there a way to apply to vector classes 
predefined colour classes, like Corine land cover colours or altitude 
levels or even a grayscale.


I saw no way in the symbology tab other than:
a) leave the default random colour
b) manually enter the colours entry-by-entry
b) load a precedently saved style

I think it would be nice to have a drop-down select that would allow to 
use some largely used colour scales.


As alternative, is there somewhere a public repository of Qgis colour 
styles?



Ciao,

Hi

I have a question, It's possible create Solid Layer!? Not just a Polygon,  
point or line.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Re: [Qgis-user] Congratulations to all :-) and some comments for the hack fest

[Agustin Lobo]

My comments are based on the current qgis 1.3.0 Mimas
as installed from the ubuntu jaunty binaries on the ubuntugis
server. When you mention "trunk" I assume you mean
the current svn, right? Great to know
the field calculator is already there, as well as some
work on the symbology of continuous variables (raster and vector).
Looking forward to seeing them in the next binaries.

Wow, where's that plugin?

I hope qgsAffine plugin could help you. It seems to work with trunk. Please 
test 
it on a copy of your real data because it changes the working layer.

are you referring to the performances of the operations made thorugh
the python ftools plugin? obviously they're times slower then any
other implementation in C/C++, mostly because of the slowness of the
python loop routines...
the 'analysis' in trunk should go that way, isn't it? (both for raster
and vector)

Re: [Qgis-user] Congratulations to all :-) and some comments for the hack fest

[Agustin Lobo]

I share your enthusiasm and gratitude. I want to mention that
Raster gdal utilities are an impressive addition, perhaps not from a 
developer point of view,  but it's a major step  forward in terms of 
functionality  for users. Adding these

raster functionality to QGIS makes a qualitative difference.

In general terms, perhaps it's time for a certain level-off of different
functionalities in QGIS, as while there are some
very advanced tools (i.e. manageR) that cannot be found elsewhere,
there are few critically missing tools. Among them:

1. A raster algebra with  a natural syntax (i.e. like r.mapcalc), and,
as a second step, a GUI. The current implementation has such an odd 
syntax that most
users using it early in their qgis learning would conclude that qgis is 
too complex and odd for them.

As far as I know, Barry is not thinking on further developing this tool.

2. A table manager tool able to operate among columns. Meanwhile, some 
kind of easy copy and paste

between an spreadsheet and qgis would be most helpful.

3. C++ implementation of the (vector) Tools, as a dissolve operation on 
a complex layer
takes hours to complete in qgis while seconds with other software (i.e. 
TNTmips) on

the same machine.

4. Improve the vector symbology system for continuous variables, in 
particular adding a

color bar to interpret the meaning of the resulting colors.

5. Improve the raster symbology system for continuous variables, adding a
color bar to interpret the meaning of the resulting colors.

6. Improve the raster symbology system for categorical variables (often
used for landcover maps produced from satellite imagery by classification)
through a colormap, and adding a
color bar to interpret the meaning of the resulting colors. Note that 
there are
several global-scale landcover maps in raster format in and the ability 
of qgis to

provide a good display of those would be an excellent presentation card.

In my opinion, these 6 improvements/additions are critical for the 
normal use of
QGIS as an operational GIS. Without them, I think we are still below the 
minimum
set of requirements for a GIS, even if in other aspects QGIS is very 
advanced.

People,

sometimes I look at QGIS and wonder if it's real. All of these changes
and new stuff that were introduced the last months make me think that I
am dreaming :-p

Congratulations and thank you all. If QGIS grows at the same pace, I
can't imagine which other platform can beat it with respect to
user-friendliness, simplicity and interoperability.

One general desire though: please try to keep the menu(s) grouped, in an
easy and practical way. Right now, in the unstable version, loading many
(or all possible) plugins gives a bit of a confusing impression.

* The drop-down menus Raster (=gdal), Click-Fu, SDA-4PP and SelectPlus
are right after the Help menu.

* The Plugins are really too many just to keep them alphabetically
ordered. IMHO, a thematic sorting is mandatory.

And an extra-idea: since many-many times people wonder how to cite a
tool, why not give the proper citing in an extra tab within the "About"
dialog (or similar)?

Again, thanks :-)
Nikos

Hi Barend,
I forward your request to the list, as you probably have submitted it only
to me.
Anyway I think you shouldn't have problems to compile it under your
platforms, the usual way it's done for the other plugins, as the CmakeLists
is provided in the svn.

What method did you use to georeference your scanned maps? If you
haven't tried it already, try a higher order polynomial. I think you
will want to georeference the scanned map as best you can rather than
trying to manipulate the vector map. In case of the latter you would
be better off in a CAD app.

Re: [Qgis-user] inserting symbols into qgis

[sunny74]

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your reply.

* I am putting the files in the correct installation of QGIS so that is not
a problem.
* The cause that the SVG is an invalid SVG seems to be the problem. The SVG
does not open
   in any of the browsers. Worst is that it is produced by Inkscape. Is
there any other tool which will produce a valid .svg.

* permissions seem to be ok.

Pls suggest a couple of other tools for converting raster to .svg.

Regards.

 Hi,

 SVG is a hybrid format. It can also embed raster images (jpg,png). So
 theoretically you could embed your existing symbols in a raster (with a
 SVG shell around it). However, this is not recommended since the raster
 images don't scale properly. They would get pixely/or blurry when
 enlarged.

 SVG is the best choice for scalable symbols.

 If you want quick results and don't care about quality you could still
 embed the rasters (you can embed them base64 encoded in the data URL),
 so you only have one file and not two files. In Inkscape (at least in
 0.47) you can embed the image in the SVG by using "Extensions" -->
 "Images" --> "Embed Images".

 Hope this helps,
 Andreas
