A world file is the common way. It describes the coordinates of the
corners, how many units per pixel and what skew if any. See the
wikipedia page for details.

I believe the georef plugin can save the a world file for you.

Re: [Qgis-user] use raster + GCP points + ?? as data

2011-07-12 Thread Kris Nackaerts
Hi,

I would go for GeoTiffs. Store the GCPs inside the Geotiffs (via for example 
gdal_translate -gcp ...) and when needed, perform the warping (gdalwarp ...).

I've no idea other tools support this gcp feature.

It doesn't enable for all the transformation methods.

Richard  this choice has a huge trade-off with most formats, the time 
to resample the raster each time the users move the canvas will not be 
accepted by them. Storage is cheaper and does not interfere with your 
users. If the size is a huge issue and not the quality of 
representation, you can reduce the original resolution.

Investiga as ferramentas de topologia do GRASS, que podes usar através do QGIS. 
Estas ferramentas conseguem detectar dangles, que penso ser o que necessitas.

 Amigo, obrigado pela atenção.
Não tenho experiência com as ferramentas do Grass, mas se essa for a solução 
vou me aprofundar.
Breve descrição do problema: Tenho uma rede de rodovias levantada uma a uma por 
GPS. Ao descarregar no QGis as feições das rodovias muitas vezes não se 
conectam, prejudicando a malha nodal como um todo.
A ferramenta que procuro tem que apontar onde existe uma desconexão, uma 
descontinuidade, para que eu possa conectá-las.
O Grass faz isso?

[Qgis-user] Batch query web database

2011-07-12 Thread Lee
Not necessarily a qgis question, but one which is in our realm.

I have a vector file which contains parcels across a city. In the attribute
file of that layer, is the parcel id number. I have a website where I can
look up the parcel id number and obtain a host of additional information. I
want to append this additional information to my vector attribute table.

I imagine there is a way to bulk query all of my parcel ids. I also imagine
most websites would prevent people from doing such, but I rather ask than
assume.

Any solutions come to mind?

  It doesn't enable for all the transformation methods.

In many situations this wouldn't be a problem.
Another issue though is that IIRC the georeferencing plugin can't create
world files with rotation.

  to resample the raster each time the users move the canvas will not
be
  accepted by them. Storage is cheaper and does not interfere with your

Personally I haven't been able to detect _any_ slow-down with on-the-fly
raster reprojection, which did surprise me.  But obviously this can't be
a problem if the project coordinate system is the same as the scanned
map.

[Qgis-user] Open a NetCDF file in QGIS 1.7 - Linux

You might want to see if gdal is built with netCDF support.  Do you see

I'm not sure I follow. I've never created an attribute with a link.

The information on the website can only be obtained one at a time. I need to

Dear QGIS suhu,

Where can I find a shortest way to develop QGIS as a main software for
Land Management?
Im just considering :
- design a customized-QGIS
- connection with GPS for realtime updating location
- storing attribut data into a database system (ex. MS Access)

This application will be as Land Management System
