Re: [Qgis-user] XYtools needs Excel python modules

[rhoskins]

I installed through OSGeo4W. I also uninstalled QGIS and repeated the 
installation. After trying to install XLRD myself, I managed to get it into the 
right place in the Python27 folder (with considerable help from Noli - very 
patient fellow) but no changes. I may have still misunderstood what he told me 
to do.

XYTOOLS is installed in .qgis\python\plugins\xytools   In 
.qgis\python\plugins\xytools\docs\index.html I found the following:

"(to use this functionality you should have the python-uno library installed. For 
Linux you can probably install it via your package manager. On Windows it is harder: you 
can install it via the normal installer as addition/module, but there seems to be an 
error with the python path. The plugin cannot find it. If somebody knows a solution for 
this, please let me know. )"

Are there Windows users who have XYTOOLS installed and reading in Excel files?

Regards, 
Richard

QGIS 1.8 XYtools gives and error message about needing XLW & XLRD Python
libraries. I have found the site where they are but I do not understand any
of the directions, etc. I am not a Python programmer resulting in my having
no clue about one has to do. Can sopmeone point me to directions that will

XYtools Excel pythins working. Same for Open Office. Seems the installation
process for XYtools should do this. Is there something I missed in the

If you are Windows, the packages python-xlrd and python-xlwt should be 
available in the OSGeo4W installer - you shouldn't need to manually install 
them yourself.

Re: [Qgis-user] XYtools needs Excel python modules

[Healthmaps]

OK, I got something to happen. (certainly no fault of mine ... thank you!)

I finally understood what you meant by "console" so I made a file qgisEx.bat
with the code

cd /d c:\dist\xlrd-0.8.0
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install


and upon execution I got a screen full of stuff in the DOS box. I detected 
nothing that said "error" , etc. It looks like it worked.

I found a c:\python27\Lib\site-packages\xlrd which has folders doc and examples 
and then a bunch of .pyc and .py files

But upon trying out XYtools in QGIS 1.8 again to read in a Excel file, I got 
the same error message about needing xlrd Python modules.

Looking at the XYtools folder in C:\Documents and 
Settings\healthmaps\.qgis\python\plugins\xytools\docs\index.html I found the 
following:

"(to use this functionality you should have the python-uno library installed. 
For Linux you can probably install it via your package manager. On Windows it 
is harder: you can install it via the normal installer as addition/module, but 
there seems to be an error with the python path. The plugin cannot find it. If 
somebody knows a solution for this, please let me know. )"

Apparently Windows users have figured this out or none of them have used it, 
and for you a Mac user, it works. I see that in Windows QGIS puts the plugins 
in  
C:\Documents and Settings\Healthmaps\.qgis\python\plugins\ subfolders for each 
plugin. But some code somewhere does not have the right code to find the xlrd 
module.

Thanks for you help. NOt sure what to do next

No. the python27 in QGIS Lisboa is not the your python installation.
Try to look for another one. (I am using Mac OS X so I could not tell
where is installed in Windows).

A console or terminal is generic term for what people in MS World
called software give you access to command prompt.

You have python installation your system since you are able to use
QGIS python plugins.

Back to your problem.

Open the MSDOS command prompt in the directory where you see the setup.py

Then,

Type "python setup.py install"  in the console (MSDOS command prompt).

Be sure that you typed without quotes ("  ").

It will install this in your python sites-packages.

Search for the folder "sites-packages", you will find your python installation.

I suppose you are using Windows.

You see setup.py in the directory that you untar the file?

1. Untar download file (I think you done this already)
2. Open console (i.e. Terminal) in that directory (e.g. xlrd-0.8.0
directory). Be sure you are in this directory / folder
3. Type: python setup.py install

You can see the package installed in your python installation.

e.g. ( in Mac OS X   /python/2.7/site-packages/xlrd   )

4. Do the same step in the other package i.e. xlwt 0.7.4

Re: [Qgis-user] manageR doesn't work well

[Eelke Folmer]

Hi,
I realize this is an old thread. I am getting some files to load nicely 
into manageR but not others (which I can load directly using readOGR). 
Same error as reported below. I find manageR extremely useful when it 
works and it would be nice if it would always work.

OS linux mint
R 2.15.1
QGIS 1.8
Are there fixes/workarounds?
Thanks,
Eelke



I have tested manageR on Ubuntu Gnome with QGIS 1.6 and R 2.11.1 and now the 
same shapefile that I was testing can be loaded. Now, I can perform some 
analysis on it. Is it because I was on Windows 7 that manageR was not working?

I still have an issue with manageR on Ubuntu. I cant load the shapefile with 
the option Import layer from canvas, and receive this error message:

Error in `[.data.frame`(data, match.ID[1]) : undefined columns selected


When I load the data with the option Import layer attribute it seems to work. 
Someone have an idea why the first option is not working? Anybody has 
successfully used manageR in a Windows 7 environment?


Thank you for your help,

Maxime

Perhaps at some point a qgis installation was puting the files there, because
we are several ubuntu users with that problem. Or perhaps we all made

who knows. The fact is that those files must be renamed or deleted

they interfere with the correct ones in /usr/lib

there is no specific layer for the GPS track, you can add features

Re: [Qgis-user] gps tool: greyed buttons

[Agustin Lobo]

Yes, no problem for connecting to the gps.
Actually, I'm a bit confused because while the track is displayed on the map,
the corresponding layer is not listed in the TOC and cannot be saved.

Also, I've seen that the log file section in the menu
is not greyed before connecting to the gps , so the user can
click and select an output nmea file, but has to do so before
connecting to the gps.
Once you click connected, the log button becomes greyed (perhaps it makes sense:
the file as to be selected before starting to record data, but it
would not hurt having
a simple clarification (i.e.: (to be selected before connecting).

The Add feature and Add track point buttons are always greyed, cannot
find the way
to get them active.

Thank you very much André.

Yes, I am working with one color band (a raster exported from R), but I

[Qgis-user] Conference "The Graphical Web 2012"

[Andreas Neumann]

Hello,

Sorry for posting this slightly off-topic mail - but since this is also
about open and open source graphics, it may be of interest to you:

From Sep 11 to 14, the conference "The Graphical Web & SVG Open 2012"
takes place in Zurich, Switzerland. It is at the same time the 10th and
last SVG Open conference and the first edition of a new series called
"The Graphical Web". Conference attendees are: web developers and
content creators, developers of web browsers, developers of web graphic
frameworks and libraries, developers of web graphic authoring tools,
academia. Representatives of the W3C, WhatWG and the Khronos group
(WebGL) will present at the conference. This is your chance to get into
direct personal contact with them.

Topics are all open and interactive web graphic standards, graphic
frameworks and libraries and their applications: SVG, CSS, Canvas,
WebGL, HTML5 audio/video, d3.js, highcharts, OpenLayers/GeoExt,
three.js, dojo.gfx and more. All standards created and maintained by
W3C, the WhatWG and the Khronos group. We do not include proprietary
formats and frameworks like Silverlight, Adobe Flash or Java.

Next to keynotes, presentations and panel discussions we also offer the
following half-day workshops:

* OpenLayers/GeoExt
* WebGL/Three.js
* d3.js
* Raphaël 2D-vector graphic library for all browsers
* Inkscape
* Animation (CSS/SVG)
* highcharts - charting library
* Adobe Edge

The early bird registration deadline is until August 13 (upcoming
Monday). Pricing will switch on August 14.

You can find all information and the registration at:
http://www.graphicalweb.org/ - the conference language is english.

We are looking forward to meet some of you in Zurich!

Best regards,
Andreas Neumann

is your GPS connected to QGIS and connected to satellites?

I tried to duplicate your steps. Seems to work fine (QGIS 1.8 on
WinXP OSGeo4W installer)
I downloaded the counties shapefile and loaded it into QGIS. The CRS
was listed as USER:10 (probably since the Oregon LCC projection
it's not in the proj4 database.) So I left the CRS as is, and set
"On-the-Fly" reprojection. Next I got one tile from GMTED (30
arcsec) and it seems to overlay the counties correctly. (I'm judging
from the coastline and Columbia river, since I don't know where the
actual county boundaries are in the DEM...)

Next I ran the clipper tool from the Raster menu, and again it
worked as expected. The clipped DEM remained in EPSG:4326, like the
original GMTED. I can send the clipped raster if it will be any
help.  

Since both layers you mentioned have full CRS metadata, I think if
you don't mess with the CRS of the layers, just enable OTF, it will
be fine.

Hi Terry,

You shouldn't be having such a difficult time getting them to align. I've
done similiar with SRTM/GDEM etc.

Have you projected the shapefile to wgs84 to review alignment?

Can you please put together a small subset clip of raster data for area &
the shapefile you are using. Drop me a the link from Dropbox or other
service & I will take a look over.

Cheers,

Richard

Re: [Qgis-user] Explorer Arcgis online with linux?

[Werner Macho]

Hi!

No luck here either - neither on firefox nor on google-chrome ..
I suggest not to use silver/moonlight at all ..
Pages built with proprietary tools are a no go anyway ..

So as ESRI locks out all non Windows user on the Desktop it follows this
way also on the web ..

Time to stop using ESRI ;)

kind regards
Werner

Re: [Qgis-user] Python-gdal missing

[Etienne Tourigny]

Why do you have these files in /usr/local/lib?  They are mote probably
not installed by the package manager!

Don't mix custom installs with apt packages, unless you know what
you're doing. This can lead to problems if you have different libgdal
versions installed. You can remove those *libgdal* in /usr/local/lib

[Qgis-user] gps tool: greyed buttons

[Agustin Lobo]

In the GPS panel, I have always greyed the following buttons:
Add feature, Add track point and Log file
Are these buttons not yet available or is there a way
to make them active?

Thanks

Re: [Qgis-user] Python-gdal missing

[Agustin Lobo]

Luis,

I'm probably not a reliable source for this, but I would rename those
files for which you the equivalent newer files are
in  /usr/lib. For example rename
sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libgdal.a  /usr/local/lib/libgdal.a_old

Then restart qgis.

I'm not sure what I've done differently, but I managed tonight to get the 
projections to overlap.  The counties vector layer appears to have been

No :-(

The idea is that you use GRASS to get results to be used within QGIS,
so the final format is one that QGIS (and other elements within QGIS,
like other SEXTANTE algorithms) can understand

[Qgis-user] Explorer Arcgis online with linux?

[Johan Nilsson]

Hi.
It's maybe little of topics for QGIS, but I think here maybe are people
here with linux. We have a student-task where we should use ESRIs explorer
arcgis online. I don't have MS Windows and silverlight. The url are:
http://www.arcgis.com/explorer/  I think I have downloaded and installed
moonlight, but I only get an empty page :(
Someone who know if it's possible to use linux (Ubuntu) on
arcgis.com/explorer ?

/Cheers
