Re: [Qgis-user] how to interpolate points to a grid

2011-08-05 Thread Alexandre Neto
I don't think Raster Grid Interpolation and Polygonize are the correct tools
for what you pretend.

Did you try the Interpolation Plugin? Make it active in the plugin manager,
then check this tutorial:

Best Luck,

Alex

Did you have a look at the GRASS plugin with it's various v.surf.*
modules? That's what I usually use to interpolate i.e. an DEM grid from
point elevations.
The v.surf.rst module does best when the surface should be smoothed, and
not necessarily go exactly thru each point.

[Qgis-user] how to interpolate points to a grid

2011-08-05 Thread M . E . Dodd
I have various layers of points from various shapes of sampling (not a regular 
rectangular grid) and want to interpolate each of them to produce a set of 
raster images.  In previous GIS I have used this was generally a matter of 
making a boundary then telling the gis the points layer and extent as shown by 
the boundary and then trying various interpolation methods to see which one 
looked most like the real data.  However I have yet to find suitable tools in 
Qgis to do this.  The raster grid interpolate and polygonise don't seem to have 
suitable options and when I did try them the output looked rather strange and 
not what I was expecting as it seemed to have missed out much of the data.

[Qgis-user] how to save style

2011-08-05 Thread M . E . Dodd
I have created a style using new symbology and a colour ramp that I have 
selected from one of the big list (it goes from whitish to red).  Then modified 
the range and label just by typing in the relevant figures.  But then it won't 
save, it says it has saved but when I look in the directory there is nothing 
there, have checked the file path and definitely no .qml file in that 
directory.  I have saved .qml files in other instances for raster layers but 
this is a bit different.

The layer is from a .csv points file and I want to classify the values in one 
of the columns and display this as the varying red colour.  It works using the 
default methods and shows the dots as different colours but not when I set up 
my own.  One reason for wanting to set my own is that I want to produce an 
animation showing how the values over several years so want to use the same 
scale each year and rather than manually changing the range and label for each 
year's dataset I want to make a style so can apply it to each automatically.

[Qgis-user] qgis 1.7 on Microsoft server 2003 not launching - SOLVED

2011-08-05 Thread HAUBOURG
Hi list, 
the problem exposed yesterday was finally solved (error 0xc06d007e on 
launching). It was a very uncommon registry conflict generated by a Citrix 
software. 
We found a patch and a tutorial here:

Hope this can be useful to someone else
