Re: [Qgis-user] Vector/Raster Projection Problem
Thank you for the suggestion, Andre. I tried to install Openlayers using the plug-in installer, but it appears not to be in the official plug-in repository. The closest I came was OGR2Layers, which exports OGR layers to OpenLayers html. I also tried googling it, but didn't locate a download source. Any suggestions on how I can find and install it?

[Qgis-user] Symbology: switch off automatic classification
I'm using qgis 1.8 to create graduated maps of multiple data columns. For this, I use the new symbology implementation, with graduated colors. I would like to use one classification for all columns. Usually based on Jenks, and tweaked manually. In qgis 1.8, when changing the column which is used for the classification, the classification is recomputed automatically. This is inconvenient, because now I have to enter the ranges for the classification for each map I want to make. I expected the classification to only be recomputed when I press the button 'Classify'. The workaround I have found is to create my classification, then switch to old symbology, which retains the classifcation when I change the column. Is this a bug or a feature? And if it's a feature, how can I switch it offf? Thanks for your reply. Tammo Jan Dijkema ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Hi Nathan, Thanks for your reply. We'll switch to manually editing the qml-file for now. However, I would say the feature could have been thought through a bit more. The button 'classify' now seems superfluous, and there is no way to prevent an update when changing layers. Perhaps the button 'classify' could be replaced by an option to automatically reclassify. Another option would be to add a classification scheme 'manual' which copies to the current classification when selected, but retains its values when changing columns.

Re: [Qgis-user] sobre vector resumen
*** Español *** ¿Eduardo, las geometrías se mantienen en cada capa? ¿Lo único que cambia es el área sembrada? Si es así, sigue estos pasos para conseguir lo que quieres: 1. Has una copia de una de las capas, esta será la capa que vas a tomar como resumen. 2. Podrías borrarle el campo area sembrada 1 que te ha quedado en la capa de tal forma que quedes solamente con un id y la región. 3. Has un Join (desde el diálogo Propiesdades) tomando como base un identificador común. Por ej. el id de la región. Cuando termines, tendrás todos los campos area sembrada X en la capa resumen. 4. Abre la tabla de atributos de la capa resumen y activa la edición. 5. Abre el Field Calculator, dile que quieres un nuevo campo area sembrada total de tipo numérico (supongo doble) y escribe algo como esto en la expresión: area sembrada 1 + area sembrada 2 + ... + area sembrada 12 6. Haces click en OK, cierras la edición, cierras la tabla de atributos y quitas los Join creados (desde el diálogo Propiesdades). 6. Abre de nuevo la tabla de atributos de la capa resumen y listo, ahora tienes tu area sembrada total. Espero sirva. Saludos. *** English *** If I got it right, what Eduardo needs is to use the field calculator across layers. Don't know if there is a more direct solution, but I attempted it via Join + Field Calculator and it works if fields don't share the name, as it seems to be the case here: area sembrada 1, area sembrada 2 ... But, what if area fields have the same name in all layers? It seems that in such a case you cannot use the field calculator because there is no way to distinguish which fields belong to which layer even after a Join. Is it true or am I missing something? It would be handy to have something like layer1@area + layer2@area or layer1.area + layer2.area as valid expressions for the field calculator.

[Qgis-user] join by location
Hi all, I have a question about the 'join by location' tool in ftools. Let's say I've got two polygon layers : a layer of provinces with the population for each province, and a layer of regions, each region resulting in the fusion of several provinces. Now I want to know the total population for each region, so I use the 'join by location' tool with my two layers, ticking the 'sum' box. My problem is that this tool takes into account for each region every province that has a common limit with the region : obviously that includes provinces not in the region, and it doesn't do what I want. Hope my example is clear. I can see that behaving this way can be useful in some cases, but I think what I'm trying to do is also pretty standard stuff. Do you know if this is normal behaviour? Or am I doing something wrong? I'm using QGIS 1.8.0. Thanks a lot, Julie. ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

[Qgis-user] SVG Fill
Hi List, I'm trying to symbolise Ordnance Survey MasterMap. The OS are nice enough to provide a single SVG file (here: https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/xml/resource/OSMasterMapStyles.svg) with most/all of their symbology in. My question is simple: How do I use these symbols in QGIS? I've found SVG fill, which is the one I'm trying to use (i.e., with nonconiferousTreesAndConiferousTreesPattern) and while it does allow me to specify the SVG file, that seems to be all I can do. QGIS seems to assume that the entire contents of the file should be used for styling, while the file has multiple stylings in. I'm guessing mutliple geometries in a single file is valid SVG (it passes the WGC validator), so is this something QGIS can handle, or will I need to source split files?

[Qgis-user] using spatialite files for data sharing?
Hi all first I'm sorry if this is a generic question, but I feel that the qgis community can give me some valuable pointers. I have a number of files containing simple plygon data (burned area maps), that I wish to share with collaborators and eventually make public. These files will be used for data analysis in open-source software (qgis/R) and should be accessed in other software with relative ease. I would appreciate feedback on which file format would be the best. The first obvious answer is to store it in shapefile format, but this has many drawbacks: - many limitations due to file format (fields, CRS complications, etc.) - many files: one set per map, many files per set - lack of internal sql support (this can be overcome easily) Second (and my preferred) is to store them in a single spatialite file (or several, depending on file size). But I perceive that spatialite has the disadvantage of relatively poor support in many GIS apps (mostly the $$$ ones) - what is the status on this? Also, what is support for spatialite inside QGis and the various sextante back-ends, esp. R - both standalone and inside sextante? I am asking this because as far as I know, many qgis tools export to shapefile only, so storing everything in spatialite could represent complications down the road.

Re: [Qgis-user] using spatialite files for data sharing?
Hi, 2012/8/16 Etienne Tourigny etourigny@gmail.com: Second (and my preferred) is to store them in a single spatialite file (or several, depending on file size). I'll recommend SpatiaLite and/or PostGIS. But as you already mention, SpatiaLite currently has very limited support in proprietary GIS. AFAIK, ArcMap and MapInfo don't support it. Also, what is support for spatialite inside QGis and the various sextante back-ends, esp. R - both standalone and inside sextante? I am asking this because as far as I know, many qgis tools export to shapefile only, so storing everything in spatialite could represent complications down the road.

Re: [Qgis-user] SVG Fill
supplied symbols, I'm not convinced QGIS could symbolise them neatly anyway without tweaking the SVG itself (i.e. there's no way to specify distance between symbols for instance). The patterns, by definition, don't have spacing between the tiles, because patterns should provide seamless tiling. However, you can specify the tile size. If you want spacing between symbols, you could use the point pattern fill editor where you can also use SVG point markers and provide spacing and displacement. This requires QGIS 1.8, I believe.

Re: [Qgis-user] SVG Fill
Ah, I'm not symbolising Topographic Point or Cartographic Symbol (forgot about that). The MasterMap loader I've created (a custom FME loader) converts those into line symbols which are whats stored in the database. This ensures they get symbolised consistently across GIS packages. The only thing that needs to be done then is to symbolise by colour as desired. I do have the symbols-as-lines stored as shapefiles if that'll be any help to you. I'm not sure if QGIS could take them, but I can try and convert them to SVG files with FME (tenative testing indicates it may be possible).

Re: [Qgis-user] SVG Fill
Going slightly off-topic now, I'll shortly (within the next couple of weeks) be releasing my FME loader for MasterMap for free use to all other PSMA/OSMA members. The default version writes to Oracle (what we use), but it it can be easily tweated to write to other formats including SQLite etc. Admittedly FME is neither free nor Free, but we figure quite a few authorities have it, and if they have someone vaguely capable with FME it should be easy to use. Back on topic: My loader provides a OS Style column which is what I'm getting QGIS to style with. In theory this column is datasource agnostic.

[Qgis-user] Different font styles for different label classes
Hi List, I have a single layer I'd like to label in such a way that different attributes will get different font styles. For example, a water based label would have the Style attribute waterText, and would be styled as blue italics. Another label might have a Style attribute of heritigateText and be in bold black. (For reference: ArcGIS calls these classes) I've looked at both of the labelling engines that come as default with QGIS but can't see any obvious way to do this in either. The closest I can find is copying the dataset as many new layers and using the subset query builder for each layer before then labelling the entire layer. But that's obviouslly quite cludgy. Can QGIS do this?

[Qgis-user] Density dependent rendering?
Hi all, This may be a wishlist/ plugin thing, but is there a way have a layer render or not depending on how many features there are in the frame? So if there are 100 points in the frame the layer renders, but if there are 101 the layer is invisible? My use case is this: I look at census tracts overlaid on aerial imagery (a lot), panning and zooming and identifying to verify population attributes. In urban dense areas, the tracts are really small (because the census aims for more or less constant population), but in rural areas they can cover an entire county. I use scale dependent rendering, but I have to change it all the time depending on what I am looking at. About a dozen tracts is usually the perfect amount to look at in a frame. It would be easier to write an algorithm for points than polys, but maybe it is an interesting enough problem someone (hehe) should implement a naive approach and see if it works. I can imagine there being problems when the frame has both high and low density pieces (is non-homogeneous), but maybe it would work anyway. I can also imagine that chaining several layers together so that they switch on and off depending on the density might be useful. You could use hierarchical geographies (e.g. blocks, block groups, tracts, counties, states), but also more abstract features too. I have absolutely no idea how to implement this, but I would be happy to try/ report bugs/ whatever. Thanks for the attention! ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] Different font styles for different label classes
Can QGIS do this? you need the rule based labelling, the label equivalent of the rule based style. There is a feature request open, and if I'm not wrong there is someone already working on it. Better ask in the dev mailing list. cheers -- Giovanni -- ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
[Qgis-user] Georeferencing fail at picture 2
Today I gave my first lesson in georeferencing using QGIS. 32 university students working with succes. Easy to use and great results. It went so fast, that I gave them assignment number two. And then it all crashed :-O After setting the first point a point and line was shown - as view of an error. And in the GCP table dX, dY and residual pixel all had great errors. If we tried to activate Start Georeferencing - nothing happend. Then by using Settings we could force the program to continue - but the result was a stretch map -which was useless. As I see it - the program remember the point made in the previous map, and calculate with these. Has anyone noticed this behavior? Regards Lene Fischer Ass.

Re: [Qgis-user] Different font styles for different label classes
Hi Jonathan, The rule based labeling, as Giovanni said, is not yet available. If your data is in Postgis you could use a view and introduce a new column called font-color and use the data-defined font-color settings. That's probably the best you can do currently. If you don't use Postgis, you could still introduce the new column and use the field calculator to set the colors. But this would require manual updates of the columns whenever the attributes change.

[Qgis-user] QGIS running on RHEL 5 Thin Client Network
Hello QGIS users group, I am looking for details about the capabilities of running QGIS on thin clients running on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (64 bit currently version 5 soon to upgrade to 6). Our thin clients have: 1.5GHz processor 1GB disk space 896MB ram My understanding is that the ArcGIS requirements are: 2.2GHz processor 2.4GB disk space 2GB ram Which exceeds our thin client capacity. Does anyone know the min and recommended requirements for QGIS to run on a thin client? Final question does anyone have a side-by-side functionality comparison of ArcGIS 10 and QGIS 1.8? Our company currently is licensed for ESRI ArcGIS 10 but this is using Windows Desktops. If QGIS can run on our current RHEL 5 64 Bit thin client network we would like to add it to the system.

I don't know RHEL, but perhaps this would be useful: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Enterprise_Linux_GIS There are also links on the QGIS downloads page: http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/Download If you have a test machine, I would just try it -- my guess is that QGIS will run on almost anything built in the last 10 years (Android, Mac OS X, etc...), it is just performance that might suffer. As for a comparison between ArcGIS and QGIS, it might be a moot point if you are running Linux, no matter what your hardware -- there is no ArcGIS for Linux, period, as far as I know. Google turns up a bunch of short comparisons (try it), but nothing very definitive. My take is that cartography, network analyst, and other advanced tools might be better in ArcGIS, but for plain old data visualization, overlays, and good enough maps, QGIS is actually better (faster, less quirky). I do most of my data manipulation in SQL (PostGIS or Spatialite), so I can't comment on the things like clip etc. ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] Vector/Raster Projection Problem
As Andre suggested, I installed OpenLayers and opened my problem layers: counties (vector) and a mosaicked GMTED (raster); over a Google hybrid map, with th projection set to EPSG 3857. The GMTED layer superimposed properly over the Google image and the counties layer did not. Saving the counties layer with the pseudomercator projection led to it overlaying properly as well. Thank you Andre, and everyone else who who assisted. Terry On 16 Aug 2012 at 11:09, Andre Joost wrote: Am 16.08.12 08:13, schrieb Terry Morse: Thank you for the suggestion, Andre.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS running on RHEL 5 Thin Client Network
Hi, QGIS will run fine on machines like that. I have used it a bit on my machine at home, which has similar specs, although I'm not running a big desktop environment like Gnome or KDE. Some aspects of the performance are substantially better than on a high spec Windows machine at my work, where the antivirus is a real problem ;) Of course, higher specs are always better (RAM can be extremely cheap these days and can make a big difference), and if you're going to be using large and complicated datasets you'll want to pay attention to how you manage your data.

Re: [Qgis-user] Open Data via Open Standards using Open Source: a new tool from NIWA
Let's start with an apology from me Murphy has outdone himself this time! NIWA's new super easy to use desktop mapping tool is slightly broken, but this has been a very effective test of the user feedback system on the web page! My email address has seldom been as popular. It has, of course, worked fine for the last two weeks, but just after I sent the email I added a new service to the NIWA page listing the services: https://www.niwa.co.nz/ei/feeds/report Instead of giving users a NZ basemap layer with high resolution rivers (from the REC dataset), I broke the XHTML that the Quantum Map NIWA tool uses to get the list of services. Sigh! So it all works really well, except you can't refresh the list of services. Will get on to this first thing next week!!! For all those enthusiastic users who can't wait until next week, you can still play, just not quite as easily. Quantum Map itself still works fine, even if the harvesting of data sources doesn't. You can add the same services manually instead of harvesting them. Fire up your browser go to the web page above so you can see the layers which are available. In Quantum GIS open the NIWA tool, open the data sources tab, click Add. Copy paste the appropriate data source (service) name from the list on the web site into the Name field, choose WMS/WFS as appropriate, copy paste the URL from the web page into the URL field in the datasource dialogue box, save it. This is the same process you would use to add such data sources not listed on the NIWA page. Once you have done this for each layer described in the docs, you can continue as if it was all working properly. Again, an embarrassed apology - enjoy the weekend Thanks for your patience ( interest) Brent ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
