Did you make any progress with this after the server came back up?
I guess you are using Windows (not that I would recommend doing so :) ).
The gdal-sde plugins I posted on the old forum don't work with the latest gdal. 
 But I extracted some new ones from 
http://dl.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/ms4w_3.0.6.zip and they seem to work fine (I 
finally found a publicly accessible server that I could successfully test 
with!).

Can your server not provide WFS?  If you could enable it easily on the server I 
would have thought that would be the easiest and most flexible option.

It depends on your operating system and local language, which font is
actually used:



MS Shell Dlg maps to Microsoft Sans Serif if the machine default UI
language is set to a language other than Japanese. MS Shell Dlg 2
simply uses the Tahoma font regardless of language.

Re: [Qgis-user] Howto: load ArcGIS "mapserver" raster layers

Yes,
If the server provides WMS you wouldn't need to know about it.
In this case, go to
http://boi.arc.niwa.co.nz/arcgis/rest/services/OS2020-BoI/OS2020_BoI_AerialPhoto_Color/MapServer
And you'll see at the bottom of the page that the supported interfaces are 
REST, SOAP and WMS.  (WMS might be restfull, but it is obviously different from 
what ESRI call a "REST" interface)
Look on the ESRI server I linked to and you'll see that only REST and SOAP are 
supported.
A local example that only supports REST and SOAP is the Auckland Council GIS.

Note that you could also connect to a WMS by using a GDAL service definition 
xml in the same way as I described, if you wanted to for some reason.  Perhaps 
the reason would be simplicity - you could keep the xml files in a folder with 
all your other layers, and load them in all the same ways, rather than using 
the "Add WMS layer" dialog.
I don't know how the QGIS WMS provider works - it might be interesting to 
compare the performance of one of those NIWA layers connecting to it in the 
three different ways:
- QGIS WMS provider
- WMS via a service definition xml
- ArcGIS REST via a service definition xml

Re: [Qgis-user] Howto: load ArcGIS "mapserver" raster layers

2012-08-23 Thread pcreso

Hi Alistair,

Listed at http://www.niwa.co.nz/ei/feeds/report there are a few Arc Server 
raster layers, they are ESRI Mapserver restful layers, but deliver OGC WMS.

Such layers are as available as any other WMS data source, eg: 
http://boi.arc.niwa.co.nz/arcgis/services/climate/MedianAnnualTotalRainfall/MapServer/WMSServer

I figure what you are describing is a way to access the ESRI native (as opposed 
to OGC compliant) services in QGIS using GDAL?


Cheers,

Date: Friday, August 24, 2012, 12:43 PM

Hi everyone,
I don't think anyone around here has ever explained how to add raster ArcGIS 
"mapserver" layers from servers which provide a REST interface.  As far as I 
know, there is no way to just load them with a url directly from the QGIS gui, 
but they can be handled by the GDAL WMS driver, and thus can be loaded in QGIS.
 
Firstly (and the most difficult part) you need to find the URL for the REST 
service for your layer.  E.g. you might want to use a layer that is available 
in the ESRI "Maps for Personal Use" web map at:
http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?useExisting=1
Hopefully with a little googling you will be able to find the address where you 
can browse the "ArcGIS services directory" of your favourite ArcGIS server.  In 
this case it is: http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/

Find the layer that you are after, and now you have two options:

1. You can create a GDAL "service description" XML file, and open it with QGIS.
E.g. try this file:
http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms_arcgis_mapserver_tms.xml
Or e.g. save the XML code pasted at http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3804 
and try it.

2. You can create a .vrt file (which requires less thinking), and open that 
with QGIS.
E.g. find the raster layer you want in the ArcGIS services directory, and get 
the URL for its REST interface, which should be at the bottom of the page, 
under "Supported Interfaces".  The gdal utilities can just use this URL (since 
GDAL 1.9), so you can simply create a .vrt like this:
gdalbuildvrt test.vrt 
"http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer?f=json&pretty=true";

Of course, you will need to check the restrictions on what you are legally 
allowed to do with any particular layer.  

And if you are wondering: as far as I know there is currently no way to load 
_vector_ ArcGIS "mapserver" layers, or ArcGIS "globeserver" or "featureserver" 
layers (except for manually writing a query URL.  i.e. you can't use their REST 
services).

Regards,
Alister

Please check how many files remained in /usr/lib/grass64/.
Perhaps QGIS removed it to install again GRASS (which failed)?

What if you reinstall again GRASS6.4 with your
"make -j2 && sudo checkinstall && sudo ldconfig"
?

 good question.

 Unless I am mistaken, min/max are set to 0/255 by default, unless
 QgsRasterDataProvider::bandStatistics() or
 QgsRasterLayer::bandStatistics()  is called - which is probably what
 happens.

 I don't understand what is the problem, does the VRT load slowly
 initially, or is getting statistics rather slow?

 On the other hand, wouldn't a simple "gdalinfo -stats file.vrt"
 achieve the same as the linked python script, but easier to run?

Hi Etienne,

the python script calculates approximated stats, so
it works like gdalinfo -approx_stats file.vrt

The problem was the -approx_stats option is not present
in the documentation (either help online or using --help),
then I wrote that few-lines script to achieve the task.

Only now I'm looking at the gdalinfo.c code on the repo
I know it's there since Jan 2007 (r10658)...

BTW a ticket is needed to update the doc.

+1, but I hope you're talking about the wiki page author :)
I cannot do any test because I have no VRT files so big.

Micha, could you try with QGis master and report here,
please?

 For a *byte* data type, which must be the common case, why wouldn't QGIS

Default contrast enhancement in current master (may be changed in
Options > Rendering > Rasters):
  Single band gray: Stretch to min / max
  Multiband color (byte/band): No stretch
  Multiband color (>byte/band): Stretch to min / max
  Limits (min/max): Cumulative count cut.

The min/max are calculated using 25 pixels sample, which should be
fast. It would be useful to test the VRT without stats collected with
current master.

It would be possible to add another default contrast enhancement for
Single band gray byte, but I believe that if the whole raster can be
rendered in reasonable time, the min/max calculation must be also fast
and contrast enhancement may be important even with byte data.

Re: [Qgis-user] After Qgis installation - GRASS6.4 doesn't start anymore

You should probably not be installing grass in /usr, this cause
conflicts with packages installed though the package manager.

Why are you building grass anyway? The packaged version should run fine.

I recommend you use the "ubuntugis-unstable" ppa to install qgis,
grass and qgis-grass.

BTW the correct way to uninstall is "sudo apt-get remove qgis" -
autoremove deletes unnecessary packages

good question.

Unless I am mistaken, min/max are set to 0/255 by default, unless
QgsRasterDataProvider::bandStatistics() or
QgsRasterLayer::bandStatistics()  is called - which is probably what
happens.

I don't understand what is the problem, does the VRT load slowly
initially, or is getting statistics rather slow?

On the other hand, wouldn't a simple "gdalinfo -stats file.vrt"
achieve the same as the linked python script, but easier to run?

[Qgis-user] Settings for Attribute table in print composer not saved correctly?

2012-08-23 Thread magerlin

I have inserted an attribute table in the print composer and set "Maximum
rows" to 14 to display all 14 features in my shape file. And it works fine.

But next time I open the project "Maximum rows" is displaying 13 and I am
missing one of my features in the table?

The problem seems to be related to setting maximum rows equal the number of
features: If I set it to 10, saves and reopens it still says 10.

Perhaps some coding restricting no of rows to be less or equal to number of
features is wrong?

Selon Etienne Tourigny :

For a *byte* data type, which must be the common case, why wouldn't QGIS just
use min=0 and max=255 when statistics are not computed ?
