Hi Pierre,

I assume you are talking about the Qgis-user mailing list ..
So all in all you could do it by yourself ..
Just subscribe at [1] with your new mailaddress and unsubscribe the old 
one ..


I am not sure if one can just change the email address..

you might try applying the transparency before categorizing.

Re: [Qgis-user] Simplify?

[Roger André]

GRASS has some very good line simplification options which I believe can be
accessed from within QGis.  I like to run a light Douglas Peucker
simplification to cut the vertice count down without dramatically altering
the appearance of the data, followed by Lang simplification to generalize
the appearance of things.  A good description of the difference between
these algorithms can be found at
http://psimpl.sourceforge.net/douglas-peucker.html and
http://psimpl.sourceforge.net/lang.html.

BTW, using a vary small threshold tolerance with Douglas Peucker is a great
way to remove vertices in a straight-line segments.  For example, running a
tolerance of .0015 on a set of fairly complex world country borders in
GRASS yields the following for me:

 Number of vertices was reduced from 606998 to 230824

This pruning is not discernible against the original data set until about
1.25 map scale.  At 1:5 it starts to look a little blocky.

MapShaper is a great tool, and by doing a pruning of your excess vertices
as metioned above, it might put the data under the 80 MB limit and allow
you to use it.

Hi Ivan,
What version are you using?
It works for me in current trunk... well, almost.  The only case where
it doesn't update is when I deselect features by ctrl-clicking on rows
in the attribute table.
Note: if this _is_ fixed then #2065 can be closed.

[Qgis-user] Analyzing two cities side-by-side?

[David Epstein]

Hello,

I'm simultaneously working on data for Minneapolis & Cleveland (USA). 
I'd like to display these two cities side-by-side to scale nearly all 
the time. I'd also like the display(s) to share symbology ranges and 
eventually a common legend. I know it is possible to create two display 
windows for distinct spatial datasets in GRASS. Is there an easy way to 
do something similar in QGIS? If not, are there other open source tools 
for this approach? Perhaps SAGA?

Re: [Qgis-user] [WEB CLIENT] Information about QGIS Web Client

[GeoTux]

Hi Andreas,

thanks for your feedback.

I will account for what you wrote. However, I think it is still useful for
new users to know that there is a WMS client that is built upon QGIS and
operates tied to QGIS Server and QGIS, so they could be aware of such
software stack and they can eventually choose it as their Web Mapping
solution.

Regarding your question, actually the item "Documentation" consists of
three sub-items: Languages, formats and levels. Those sub-items are there
for describing how the documentation looks like and to whom it is aimed at
(e.g. only developers).

Germán

[Qgis-user] new tool for GIS available

[Aldo Piombino]

http://www.osor.eu/news/nl-system-to-display-zoning-permits-online-available-as-open-source


 NL: System to display zoning permits online available as open
 source

Software that combines geographic information systems (GIS) with zoning 
regulations and other country wide sources of information on land use, 
and offered online as an interactive map, was made available as open 
source software by the Dutch ministry of the Interior last week. The 
tool, titled Geozet, is hosted on the OSOR Forge since 1 November.


Geozet aims to give citizens easy access to governmental information, 
and can be used as a web service, for instance on the websites of 
municipalities. A map can, for example, display all building permits and 
the exemptions of regulations in a municipality, searchable by postal code.

What you can do is go back to the old symbology, and categorize your
symbols as you did at first. Then just double click on each symbol
to individually set it's size (and color, etc). It's a bit of grunt
work, but gets the job done...

  Hi Caroline,

If you use new symbology, the option to scale point symbols
is hidden under the button 'Advanced'. With 'Size scale
field' you can select a field. Next you have to change
'Size', to give the symbols the size you want. If the values
are large, and you use millimeters, the symbols get much too
large, even if you use the smallest possible value for Size
(0,01).  A better option is to use map units.

[Qgis-user] Geoserver create a image mosaic

[legiopatrianostra]

Good afternoon,

I wanted to create a store on GeoServer, raster / imagemosaic and I want
GeoServer automatically create the tileindex, with the respective files (.
Dbf,. Prj,. Properties,. Shp and. Shx) as described in the manual GeoServer.

What happens is that GeoServer does not create the *. properties.

Someone can tell me, how can automatically create this file?

The images are *. tif and are georeferenced to the "CRS EPSG: 3763"

Thanks for the help.





I am following these steps:

Granule Index

http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/tutorials/image_mosaic_plugin/imagemosaic.html#tutorial-imagemosaic-extension



“Inserting the absolute path of a directory where the files you want to
mosaic together reside. In this case GeoServer automatically creates the
needed mosaic files (.dbf, .prj, .properties, .shp and .shx) by inspecting
the data of present in the given directory (GeoServer will also find the
data in the subdirectories)”

Hi Nathan

nice stuff. One more thing I have been thinking about is that we could
do the search in a way the browsers nowadays do it: keep the widgets
for search hidden by default, saving further vertical space. The
search bar would be opened only after clicking a search button or
pressing the usual ctrl+F or "/" shortcut.

Final ideas:
- "show selected only" may become a checkable tool button in the group
of selection buttons
- IMHO the "move selected to top" button may be removed. It used to be
there from the ancient times of the attribute table when there was no
"show selected only" option

Martin

Well Tim you know  what the _real_ issue is here?  The rest of the UI is
not consistent with _my_ UI design ;)

Nah it's cool I'm happy to nuke that idea and just have a small button.

[Qgis-user] Layer Properties/Joins

[Agustin Lobo]

Could anybody point me to specific doc on the 1.7.1 Properties/Joints
dialog for vector layers?
In particular, I'm looking for clear definitions of the 2 options:
"Cache join layer in virtual memory"
"Create attribute index on join field"

Thanks,

Re: [Qgis-user] Proposed attribute table UI redesign

[bernhard . stroebl]

Dear Nathan,

the idea to rethink the Ui design is good. I like the idea of having the 
query stuff on top. I think the "query" button (either labelled or with 
a symbol) should persist because many users work with the mouse. For 
them it is more convenient to choose the field in the comboBox and then 
simply click the button than to switch back from the mouse to the keyboard.


regards

Bernhard

Hi all,

Today I was looking at some different ways to redesign and optimize the
attribute table UI and have come up with a design that I think works well
but would like to get some feedback first.

I have made two screenshots, showing the old and new dialog at the same
size and using the same Qt theme.

Just a plain comparison screenshot :
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6170988/Plain.png
Comparison screenshot with notes : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6170988/Noted.png


The main things are:

1. Make the min row height to 16.  This removes the empty space below
the text in the current UI and allows more rows to be shown with less
wasted space.
2. Reduce some of the margins around the controls.
3. Move the search stuff to the top in order to give search text more
space and group the items better. All search options at the top.
4. Replace Advanced search button with a hyperlink style button.  This
is less distracting from a UI point of view IMO.
5. Remove Search button as Enter on the keyboard does the same thing. Is
a button really needed?
6. Split buttons at bottom into two groups.  Actions for current
selection and stuff that only works in edit mode e.g. adding new column.

  Over all you can show about 4 more rows depending on the theme.  Having
the search at the top for me feels better as it is less cramped then where
it is now and makes more sense to click Show Selected Only and seeing the
results below.

Anyone have any thoughts about the design?

Re: [Qgis-user] [WEB CLIENT] Information about QGIS Web Client

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Germán,

I am answering some questions about QGIS web client.

Actually the goal of the QGIS client is not so much to be a open-to-all 
servers/protocols project, but to tie it rather closely to QGIS server. 
If you do not use QGIS server I do not recommend using QGIS web client. 
We try to use open standards, but often we have some proprietary 
extensions to make things work (like printing) which are not covered by 
OGC standards.



in coming days (perhaps weeks) I'll publish the sixth version of the
Web Mapping Client Comparison [1].

It will include the QGIS Web Client, so I'd like you to validate the
following data, which will help me get accurate information about 
your

project:

    * License: BSD

yes


    * Latest version: ? (2011.??.??)
we do not have versions/releases, we have rolling releases with 
irregular updates based on user/client demand and developer time.



    * Origin country: Switzerland


yes - but now it is an international project


    * Origin organization/institute/university: Andreas Neumann


although I was the original author, it is now part of the QGIS project, 
so I would just list the QGIS community here. If you want to publish the 
original author - then yes it was me, and my organization is the City of 
Uster in Switzerland. Meanwhile others are using the QGIS Web Client and 
others are contributing, such as Sourcepole, Faunalia and other people 
from the QGIS community.



    * Documentation: 
  o Languages: English; German


Documentation language is english, the UI is available in several 
languages like englisch, german, french, italian, portuguese and more.



   o Formats: HTML; Issue Tracker; PDF; TXT; Wiki


it is based on OpenLayers and GeoExt and builds on HTML, SVG and 
Javascript. For older IE browsers there are VML fallbacks, but this may 
be removed as older IE versions are disappearing (hopefully soon).



  o Levels: Users


what do you mean by "Levels"?


    * OSGeo project: Yes (QGIS)


By itself, QGIS web client is not an OSGeo project, but QGIS is part of 
OSGeo, yes.



    * Source code language: Javascript; Python


yes, Javascript and it requires dependencies, such as OpenLayers, ExtJS 
(currently version 3x) and GeoExt.



    * API language: Javascript


we do not yet have a published API. We have certain Rest interfaces 
with the server which are documented, but we do not yet have a real 
well-structured and documented JS API.



    * OGC Geo-services support: WMS


yes


     * Tile-based services support: Yes


not yet officially supported, but being based on OpenLayers, one can 
always add tile-based layers if one wants.



    * Requires proprietary plug-ins?: No


yes - not plugin required.


    * Includes metadata component?: No


We plan to display some metadata which can be maintained in QGIS 
desktop projects - but this is not yet available.



    * Mailing lists: Yes (Users; Developers)


yes

Hope this helps,
Andreas

RE: [Qgis-user] Simplify?

[Chris Green]

Hi Alex

Thanks for your response. I have tried Mapshaper on smaller shp files, it is 
pretty good but it has a limit of 80M and some of my files are too large for 
this.

I would still very much like to get the Simplify function working. I assume 
from your comments that in general the QGIS Simplify function works fine so 
either I am doing something wrong, or there is a problem with my local copy of 
QGIS which I could resolve be re-installing?

By the way I can't find the DPSimplify plugin, any idea where I might find it?


Chris

I see at least 3 tools in QGIS to do simply.
The one you mentioned in the vector menu (part of ftools)
The DPSimplify plugin (appears to be the precursor to the above tool)
and the Simply function in the vector editor

Of those the last one is the one I've used the most but operates on
individual features at a time. The key question I can see for all of
them though is what tolerance are you setting and what projection is
your data in since this determines the units for tolerance.

I just tested with a tolerance of 1 on a GCS Lat/Lon WGS84 dataset of
lines and it seemed to work fine, I imagine if I had left the tolerance
at 0.0001 it would have done nothing.

Worst case scenario mapshaper is an online tool just for this.

Enjoy,
Alex

[Qgis-user] group symbology layers

[Janneke Qgis]

Dear list,

In the layer properties, tab Style: Is it possible to use 'categorized' 
as a style, and then group certain categories? I tried right clicking 
the categories that I want to group (searching for the group option like 
in ArcGis), nothing there, and didn't find it in the manual either. Did 
I overlook it? I've now given the categories that I would've liked to 
group the same symbol, but then they still appear individually in the 
legend.


greetings,

Re: [Qgis-user] Proposed attribute table UI redesign

[stefaan dondeyne]

Hi Nathan
 
This looks great to me and it's an excellent initiative.
 
My only concern is that if "the advanced search" is plainly replaced by 
"Advanced" it may not be clear what's behind it
 
Could "search" and "search advanced" not be replaced by an icon, whereby the 
advanced one would have the same icon but with a "+"  or so?
 
Best wishes and thanks a lot
 
Stefaan

Hi all, 

Today I was looking at some different ways to redesign and optimize the 
attribute table UI and have come up with a design that I think works well but 
would like to get some feedback first.

I have made two screenshots, showing the old and new dialog at the same size 
and using the same Qt theme.

Just a plain comparison screenshot : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6170988/Plain.png
Comparison screenshot with notes : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6170988/Noted.png 

The main things are:
1. Make the min row height to 16.  This removes the empty space below 
the text in the current UI and allows more rows to be shown with less wasted 
space.
2. Reduce some of the margins around the controls.
3. Move the search stuff to the top in order to give search text more 
space and group the items better. All search options at the top.
4. Replace Advanced search button with a hyperlink style button.  This 
is less distracting from a UI point of view IMO.
5. Remove Search button as Enter on the keyboard does the same thing. 
Is a button really needed?
6. Split buttons at bottom into two groups.  Actions for current 
selection and stuff that only works in edit mode e.g. adding new column. Over 
all you can show about 4 more rows depending on the theme.  Having the search 
at the top for me feels better as it is less cramped then where it is now and 
makes more sense to click Show Selected Only and seeing the results below.
