Re: [Qgis-user] Howto: load ArcGIS "mapserver" raster layers
Hi everyone,
Just a quick follow up, as I've learned it is actually even easier than I
described:
1. You can automatically generate a service description xml like this:
gdal_translate
"http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer?f=json&pretty=true";
ESRI_world_imagery.xml -of WMS
2. You don't actually need a service description xml. You can run this in the
QGIS Python console:
qgis.utils.iface.addRasterLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer?f=json&pretty=true","raster";)
I've now created a wiki page about this.

According to this, ERSI recommend file geodatabase over personal geodatabas and arcsde are for multiuser system and need additional software and licenes, I tthink.

Re: [Qgis-user] color ramp plugin broken ?
Hi, when does this error appear? If at install, let me kow if you can install other packages, sounds like an installation problem. Any other text? Please send me a screenshot. If not, is the error is when downloading a color ramp archive? If so, which one? This plugin is still marked Experimental and only works with qgis-1.9 (because these new cpt-city ramps are not supported before 1.9). Andre (and others): I made this plugin to download cpt-city color ramp archives. The ones that ship with qgis are rather limited (for now). I haven't made any docs yet, I though it was straight-forward to use, but I guess not. First you select the package you want - Use gradients that ship with qgis -> uses the minimal selection laready present - QGis selection -> free to distribute selection, about 800 gradients - Full cpt-city selection -> all gradients,(about 6000) Next you select the installation folder - if you are the only user, you can select your profile folder $HOME/.qgis Then you click Update, package is downloaded and installed.

Re: [Qgis-user] Fwd: "Normal" mdb support possible for "normal" people?
Yes is true. Esri don't recommend the personal-gdb. Esri recommend the arcsde version. Because the access db is slow and with size limit (2GB). The spatialite instead has not a size limit and is fast. :) But I guess there is another more important question: spatialite work in double precision indipendently by the extent of the DB. In the personal-geodatabase (9.1 version) is the extent of dataset is 10km there is a precision P1. If the extent of the dataset is 1000Km the precision is P2 with P2 worst than P1.

Re: [Qgis-user] Fwd: "Normal" mdb support possible for "normal" people?
Dear list, thanx for sharing your insights on spatialite etc. (i like spatialite as well very much and also prefer the spatialite_gui for e.g. importing files cause it' way faster), but as André stated, this thread was originally about MS Access databases support in QGIS. Of course i would like to tell people to convert their data to spatialite or even postgis, but the reality is, that i can't catch the fish, when i haven't a worm. And the worm in this case would be to easily (and setting up an odbc-connection isn't easy for "normal" people but rocket science) add MS Access tables to qgis without a fuzz. In the "real" world (not this geeks list, sorry), people have unfortunately no time nor understanding for learning these things and are just happy when things work as they were told. And in this real world, everyone trying to do some business of course has to have a MS Office Professional suit, so MS Access is the most likely way for them to store and handle bigger datasets "quite" easily. We of course can bemourne the complete ignorance of the world and insist on "the right way", but i think we should also help the world to be able to follow us. A lot people have to buy ESRI stuff only to be able to do 'primitive' things (like dealing with access databases + spatial data, but they have to cause their environment is delivering or requesting data in special formats. Of course i would like to sponsor such a development and pay a developer, but 1. i have no idea how much this would cost 2. i surely can't afford it 3. i already donate as much as i can from the fees from my qgis trainings. Is there any way inside the qgis-web-environment, to set up a bounty and let others donate as well for special issues like this one? Cause i can't afford anything on my own, but maybe a lot of us can.

I'm using spatialite 3.0 with the spatialite_gui 1.5 and there you have access to the new format for making use of spatial indexes. The problem is that, unlike PostGIS, spatial indexes are not used automatically. After you create a spatial index on a table, you must then construct your query to make use of it. This is certainly non-intuitive for "normal people". I would surely use those spatial index features if they are fully incorporated in Qgis. In the meantime, I don't wont to spoil my existing databases with external programs. For large datasets, I still can export to my Openstreetmap Postgis database, which works fine. Ok, but the topic here is not about spatialite or Postgis databases, but MS Access ones.

Re: [Qgis-user] gfx in WSG 84 added to another CRS (EPSG:3021)
Don't work May it be that CRS have at least to components? Projections (Shape-models of the earth) and Coordinate-system (defined as a grid from Equator and Greenwich, but different according to the place on earth), and Enable 'on the fly' reprojections don't change units from degrees to the metric Coordinat-system? /Cheers 2012/9/21 Bo Victor Thomsen > >1.
