[Qgis-user] multi temporal and multivariate data visualisation plugin on windows
Hi everyone, Marco Bernasocchi's Multiview plugin requires libQGLViewer and PyQGLViewer. I have built these for Windows as I couldn't find a package which worked with the QT and Python from OSGeo4W. If you want to try it out, they are attached at http://hub.qgis.org/issues/4057 Simply extract into your OSGeo4W installation folder. If you already have the plugin installed it seems that you might need to try reinstalling it, rather than just switching it on via Manage Plugins. N.B. the plugin shows up under PluginsAnalyses Regards, Alister ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

[Qgis-user] Bugs
Hi Guys, A few bugs with QGIS 1.7.0. Unfortunately there's no obvious way to actually create an account or report bugs on your bug tracker so I'm forced to post them here. 1) I have a ~600MB raster in JP2000 format (*.jp2). QGIS doesn't seem to be able to load this, at least not in a timely manner. It spent at least 5 mins sitting there eating 100% CPU and using quite a bit of RAM. I also have a ~4GB ECW file which similar things happen with. Both files are projected (OSGB - 27700) and I'm fairly sure they have pyramids. MapInfo, ArcGIS, MapModeller (all proprietary), and MapWindow (Open Source) are all capable of displaying both images in fractions of a second. This is on a Windows 2008 R2 Machine. 2) I load a shapefile that's projected in British National Grid into QGIS. The built in QGIS scale shows degrees rather than metres as the measurement unit despite showing 0 to 30,000 numerically (so it is showing metres, it's just incorrectly saying degrees. This is to a new map that has no other layers added. 3) Why is there a (c) QGIS 2011 in the bottom right of the map viewer? 99% + of other programs use the Help-About page for that.

Hi Jonathan, I can only partially answer your questions/remarks. A few bugs with QGIS 1.7.0. Unfortunately there's no obvious way to actually create an account or report bugs on your bug tracker so I'm forced to post them here. the infrastructure was just changed recently. Did you try on http://hub.qgis.org/ - personally I don't know how the accounts are handled. The old accounts from trac.osgeo.org were migrated. 1) I have a ~600MB raster in JP2000 format (*.jp2).

MapInfo, ArcGIS, MapModeller (all proprietary), and MapWindow (Open Source) are all capable of displaying both images in fractions of a second. There has been a lot of mail recently about the problems with ecw. Personally, I would really stay away from proprietary formats like ecw and mrsid. You will never know when those companies changed their policies and if they care about compatibility with OS GIS. I personally use TIFF files (bigtiff files are more or less unlimited in size), and you can choose between different compressions in the tiff, like jpeg, deflate, zip, packbits, etc. These files usually work fine. I never had any issues. Back 2-3 years I also experimented with ecw and always ran into issues with software upgrades. This doesn't mean that the bug should not be fixed, but it is a recommendation about storing your data. 2) I load a shapefile that's projected in British National Grid into QGIS. The built in QGIS scale shows degrees rather than metres as the measurement unit despite showing 0 to 30,000 numerically (so it is showing metres, it's just incorrectly saying degrees. This is to a new map that has no other layers added. Did you set the projection of your QGIS project? It sounds like this is set to WGS84/degrees. Try to set it to your british national grid and it will probably work fine. 3) Why is there a (c) QGIS 2011 in the bottom right of the map viewer? 99% + of other programs use the Help-About page for that. This is because you probably enabled the Copyright plugin, which is not enabled by default, I think. You can easily disable it in the plugins manager. The goal of the copyright plugin is not showing the QGIS copyright, but your own copyright (e.g. your company). You can easily configure it to show your own copyright, or better disable it alltogether. For configuration look into the Plugins toolbar and the button with the copyright symbol.

Hi Jonathan, Regarding the raster, try opening a small one first and going the raster properties (right click on layer-properties) and turn Contrast Enhancement to No Stretch.

Hi Andreas, Nathan Thanks for the prompt Replies. the infrastructure was just changed recently. Did you try on http://hub.qgis.org/ - personally I don't know how the accounts are handled. The old accounts from trac.osgeo.org were migrated. This in turn points to the same bugs page. It allows sign in, but there's no register button that I can see. Personally, I would really stay away from proprietary formats like ecw and mrsid. In principle I agree, but this is one of the few formats that's supported across all our applications internally (the other being JP2000), so it's what we've put our data into. We can easily convert the data into pretty much any raster format at any time as it's almost all sourced from Ordnance Survey TIF's, but we'd prefer not to have multiple versions of each raster. JP2000 seems to be a fairly open standard (it's ISO defined), even if it doesn't have much uptake. I've found a smaller ECW file - 27MB. QGIS hangs for a little over a minute when loading this. Extrapolating that up to the 4GB file gives 2.5hrs to load it! QGIS is also using an absurd amount of RAM (~700MB) just to display this single layer. ArcMap tells me this file is 260.35 MB uncompressed. However, following Nathan's suggestion, I have disabled the Contrast Enhancement, and it is now loading all of the aforementioned rasters just fine. It's also not using absurd amounts of RAM. I'd humbly suggest making this the default. Did you set the projection of your QGIS project? It sounds like this is set to WGS84/degrees. Try to set it to your british national grid and it will probably work fine. Nope. I'm lazy and used to applications automatically detecting the projection of the first layer added and using that for the project (aka ArcGIS) ;-) . After some fiddling I found 27700 and it's now correctly showing km. But it would be nice if it picked up the projection from the first dataset, you can always change it later. This is because you probably enabled the Copyright plugin, which is not enabled by default, I think. I haven't changed any of the plugins (or indeed, any settings whatsoever), they're all on default. I suspected it was for showing your own copyright, but couldn't see it in the options page. Even now that I know where it is (plugins), there's no obvious way to change the text, only enable/disable it via manage plugins.

Re: [Qgis-user] Bugs
I recommend some of your comments for changes/incorporated ideas be directed to the qgis developer list-serv. This listserv is primarily utilized by users of the program for quick help and questions. Although I'm sure some of the developers peruse it . I agree with Andreas. When it comes to open-source software there can generally be some issues with proprietary formats. When the formats are changed, or the distribution arrangements are altered, there is usually some period of time lapse before they can adequately be adopted. If this is an issue, I recommend communicating your concerns with those companies that provide the formats and encourage them to standardize in a fashion that can easily be utilized by the open source community. Personally, I generally convert all my ECW's to another format in case the SDK changes again (which is the problem many users are currently dealing with).

Lee, Yep, you're probably right about belonging on the dev list (I'll probably do that later when I have the time). I'd have preferred to put them (at least the apparently bugs) onto the bugs tracker directly but of course I can't seem to create an account. Incidentally, the ECW issue wasn't related to ECW's, but was a limitation of QGIS and it's default settings (it happened with the open JP2's too). Now that I've changed the setting per Nathan's suggestion, ECW's are working fine.

It allows sign in, but there's no register button that I can see. Personally, I would really stay away from proprietary formats like ecw and mrsid. In principle I agree, but this is one of the few formats that's supported across all our applications internally (the other being JP2000), so it's what we've put our data into. We can easily convert the data into pretty much any raster format at any time as it's almost all sourced from Ordnance Survey TIF's, but we'd prefer not to have multiple versions of each raster. JP2000 seems to be a fairly open standard (it's ISO defined), even if it doesn't have much uptake. I've found a smaller ECW file - 27MB. QGIS hangs for a little over a minute when loading this. Extrapolating that up to the 4GB file gives 2.5hrs to load it! QGIS is also using an absurd amount of RAM (~700MB) just to display this single layer. ArcMap tells me this file is 260.35 MB uncompressed. However, following Nathan's suggestion, I have disabled the Contrast Enhancement, and it is now loading all of the aforementioned rasters just fine. It's also not using absurd amounts of RAM. I'd humbly suggest making this the default. Did you set the projection of your QGIS project? It sounds like this is set to WGS84/degrees. Try to set it to your british national grid and it will probably work fine. Nope. I'm lazy and used to applications automatically detecting the projection of the first layer added and using that for the project (aka ArcGIS) ;-) . After some fiddling I found 27700 and it's now correctly showing km. But it would be nice if it picked up the projection from the first dataset, you can always change it later. This is because you probably enabled the Copyright plugin, which is not enabled by default, I think. I haven't changed any of the plugins (or indeed, any settings whatsoever), they're all on default. I suspected it was for showing your own copyright, but couldn't see it in the options page. Even now that I know where it is (plugins), there's no obvious way to change the text, only enable/disable it via manage plugins. Not that this is important to me, it's just weird having someone else's copyright on my map by default.

A few bugs with QGIS 1.7.0.

Re: [Qgis-user] Bugs
Perfect. Glad that is working for you. It might be worthwhile to mention the bug tracker issue when you contact the dev list. I've never tried to use it, but if it's down or difficult to use, it should probably be mentioned.
