[Qgis-user] TXT TO SHP
HELLO ALL, ANY ONE KNOW AN EASY WAY TO DISPLAY A TXT FILE WITH LONGLAT CO-ORDS AS A SHP FILE IN QGIS AND THEN CONTOUR ATTRIBUTES WITH VALUES IN SIMILAR RANGES? I'VE TRIED THE PLUGIN, ADD DELIMETED TEXT, BUT WENT AROUND IN CIRCLES AND EVENTUALLY CRASHED MY 1.5.0 VERSION. ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Re: [Qgis-user] Map books
Hi Tom, Do you mean, you want to generate an atlas, or a serial print? QGIS doesn't support this out of the box, but it should be somehow possible with Python scripting. Most of the print composer should be exposed for Python, so you can place all your map layout elements, such as scalebar, gridlines, etc. with Python, generate images and then use something like XSL-FO, or ODF to generate a book out of it. A serial print would be an interesting future feature though. It would, for example also be nice if one could specify a linear feature (or group of selected features), e.g. a freeway or a powerline, and QGIS would automagically tile and serial print along this feature ... would be nice to have ;-) For a regular grid, potentially with some small overlap, it should be easier. Sorry that I can't help more. Andreas On 8/26/10 6:06 PM, Tom White wrote: Hello, all. I'm trying to make map books for a volunteer fire station.

Maxim, Thanks for the suggestions. I will work toward implementing them in the next couple of weeks, depending on other priorities. I've also noticed the row height problem, I'm using default Qt settings, so, some tweaking is required...

Re: [Qgis-user] RE: Shapefile structure viewer and editor plugin
Benoit, thanks for very useful plugin, I've started developing something like this sometime ago, glad I didn't go very far! My idea was to replicate Arcview GIS 'shape properties' tool that I missed a lot. Let me give several comment to consider adding to your plugin to make it even more useful (IMHO of course): 1. Please consider working (or showing) only selected feature(s). It is not of much use if there are many polygons with many vertexes, you have to scroll up&down a lot to find needed feature. I can still see that seeing everythig is useful when you're working with empty layer (adding features), but a switch 'show only selected feature(s)' would these both suggestions. 2. Is it possible to shrink row height? May be its Windows, but mine are extra inflated occupying valuable space. Check this screenshot [1] (first two rows I shrank manually) 3. It would be really nice if node selected in the table would highlight in map canvas, thus allowing us to track were are they exactly. 4. I think 'close' button and little graphic on the left are unnecessary. I'd add current layer name and its type right in the window title. 5. It would be nice to able to delete a node(s) as well. 6. Please consider moving 'start|stop editing' functionality to QGIS itself, so that you'd have to start and stop editing in QGIS, I think it will be more straightforward.

[Qgis-user] Brochure from FIG/FAO: FLOSS in Cadastre and Land Registration - Opportunities and Risk
Hi all, I would like to bring to your attention that the FIG (International Association of Geomatics Engineers), together with the FAO (UN) and the Swiss federal administration released the brochure titled "FLOSS in Cadastre and Land Registration - Opportunities and Risk". It is available at http://www.fig.net/pub/fao/floss_cadastre.pdf They base their software comparison chart on QGIS 1.3, which is a bit outdated. And sometimes they make wrong statements, like "Quantum GIS is a light-weight frontend for GRASS data which works also well with PostGIS data." It would be ok, when it was stated like "Quantum GIS is also a lightweight frontend for GRASS data " One weakness of QGIS is however topology validation - it is probably one area where OS competition (such as gvSIG) is ahead. But it is good to see that they recommend the use of FOSSGIS in development countries and list samples and use cases, also from Middle-Europe. Hopefully this will also result in some business opportunities for companies involved with FOSS-GIS, so all can profit from each other.
