Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS with ORACLE view bad performance

2014-08-06 Thread Astrid Emde
Hello,

we could get great performance with materialized views with spatial
index instead of normal views.

Best regards

 Hello,

 I have a project with ORACLE data in QGIS 2.4.

 When I load the geometries from a table which has a spatial index, the
 data display is fast and query information is displayed at once.

 When I create a view (add an entry to SDO_GEOM_METADATA) and add the
 view to QGIS it is very slow and query information is slow too.

 It looks like the spatial index from the table is not used.

 Do you have an idea what I can do to get better performance?

 Thanks for your helf.

 Best regards Astrid

Yes, there is GeoCoding [1]. Search and install via QGIS' integrated

Hi Sasa

You can use the geocoding tool in  MMQGIS pluging.

Here an example [1]

Re: [Qgis-user] downloading map data

2014-08-06 Thread José G Moya Y .
Hi, Josselyn.

I'm a novice QGIS user, so you'd probably wait for someone more
experienced.

WFS (VECTOR) layers are cacheable, meaning you can save them with the
save option (if you have the translated version it shows as Guardar).

But WMS (TILE) layers and  Web layers are not cacheable - you can't save
them, and in some cases you can't even print them.

If you want to avoid downloading maps once and again, you could use a third
party software to download the tiles. Look for tile downloader. I used
such approach one year go, but I don't remember the configuration details.


There is also a work offline plugin. I haven't tested yet, and I'm away
from my computer, so I can't be very informative --sorry!

Another solution I use to apply is georeferencing a downloaded map, since
my country offers free scanned maps for noncommercial usage. But, as I read
on the official ign.gob.pe, Peru *sells* the scanned/shp maps -- and they
seem very expensive.

 Dearest Zoltan -

 I am running QGIS 2.4 on a Mac OSX v. 10.9.4. I am able to load Vector
 layers into a project, but whenever I try to load a map - either
 OpenStreetMap, Google Physical, etc - it takes ages to finally load. Is
 there a way I can download specific maps to the program instead of having
 to load them from the internet each time?

Re: [Qgis-user] OpenLayers available in 2.4?

 From what I remember it was accurate enough, for my needs at least.
 
 Now, with this version of openlayers (I have v. 1.3.3) I can't get any
 maps from google, bing, osm closer than 1:1150.
 
 
 The openlayers should be, by far, the most used plugin in QGIS, and this
 represents a significant setback in the quality of cartographic
 information available. 
 
 Probably have been the suppliers of maps to place this restriction but it
 is a pity that this particular function is worse than in previous
 versions.


Something that is quiet strange is even with data from the open source
project Open Street Map we can't get maps closer than 1:1150.

So I have to suppose that the problem isn't related with some restrictions
from the data providers but is a limitation of the OpenLayers plugin that
wasn't there in the previous versions...

Re: [Qgis-user] question about print composer

2014-08-06 Thread Carlos Cerdán
I have a walkthrough to share:

1. Open the dbf file of layer in Calc (or Excel)

2. Styling the table to be included in map. Lines must be 1 pixel width or
more

3. Export to PDF

4. Open with Inkscape (Corel Draw can be used also)

5. Clip/adjust limits of sheet to limits of table.. or both to size that we
have in QGIS composer.

6. Save as SVG text versión for any future change. Don't close, because
we need another version.

6. Select all objects and convert to paths (it says trayectos in
Spanish)

7. Save a second version: paths as SVG. In this version, text is not
editable, but it's fine showed in composer. Text version has troubles to be
showed. Take note of dimensions of this drawing, because it'll be used in
composer (width and tall).

8. In composer insert an image, select our SVG paths and define position,
width and tall.

Best wishes

 You could try adding a id column to your data, which is just an
 incremental number. Then, in the composer attribute table select the
 filter option and filter the first table to show rows with an id =
 100. Add a second table and filter it to rows 100 and =200, and
 repeat for as many tables as you require.

 There's work underway to improve this for 2.6.

Hi everybody, especially peruvian users:

Not exactly a QGIS issue, but this can be useful about the data to work in
it:

Yes, our official geographic agency offers public information as private
information, and cost is very expensive. But looking here and there, we can
download free shape layers to begin with a respectable peruvian
geographical base:

1. ESCALE http://sigmed.minedu.gob.pe/descargas/: topo maps to 1:100,000
scale.

2. INEI: Censo Nacional Agrario 2012
http://series.inei.gob.pe/cenagro-espacial. You can get updated
administrative limits from SEAs (but you have to dissolve twice to get it).

3. GEOCATMIN http://geocatmin.ingemmet.gob.pe/geocatmin/: mining cadastre
and related shapes.

[Qgis-user] QGIS from External drive ?

2014-08-06 Thread Falk Huettmann
Dear Colleagues,



I have a quick question (I was not able to achieve the below despite
trying):

Could I run QGIS from an external drive (like a plug-in drive) ?

I would need that instead of a regular c:drive installation on a PC.

How is that done ?

And if that is not possible, what would be the alternatives ?



(we face the situation that in a lab the PCs are not allowed to download
and install anything etc etc.

I know that OpenOffice can run from a USB stick fine, and I was told that
QGIS can do similar, yes ?)



Thanks so much for any feedback.

Kind regards

You have 3 options:

1. Portable GIS http://archaeogeek.com/portable-gis.html It may or may
not work without elevated priveleges on the Windows machine (varies by
app is my understanding).

2. An OSGeo4w install can be made to a stick and might work without
registry tweaks.

3. If the bios isn't locked you can boot a usb stick with OSGeo-Live
http://live.osgeo.org

But really you should have a discussion with the lab management about
installing the applications you want. I have successfully gotten my
university GIS lab to install both OSGeo4w and VirtualBox w/ OSGeo-Live.

Re: [Qgis-user] Tranferring data

2014-08-06 Thread Michael Treglia
Hi Marilena,

In my experience it seems that if the source data (i.e., original
shapefiles and such) are kept in the same folder location relative to the
.qgs file, the .qgs files should open fine. If you can't do that for some
reason, I don't know what to do, but that might be useful to learn. THis
plugin may be useful, but I've never tried it:
http://giswiki.hsr.ch/QGIS_All-in-one_Project_Plugin

I would definitely suggest testing whatever you plan to do on a few
datasets to make sure it works before going through the trouble for your
whole computer.

Hope that helps,
mike

Re: [Qgis-user] downloading OSM map data

2014-08-06 Thread John Harrop
Josselyn,

I'm 2.4 one 10.9.4 Mac as well!  So glad I don't have to reboot into Windows or 
run Parallels just to get at full strength GIS.

I think what you are looking for is described quite well in the QGIS Training 
Manual (page 3 of the current edition) where it describe how to download the 
data needed for the training exercises.

Its a two or three step process depending how you look at it.

1) Go to the menu item Vector - OpenStreetMap - Download Data.  From there 
you can choose between the current canvas, a specific layer or manual entry for 
how much of OpenStreetMap you want to download.  Browse to a file name to save 
the result to - you will need to find this again later.  That should be quite a 
quick download.

2) Add Vector Layer (using the button or the menu route) and for the Dataset 
Source browse to the file you just saved.  It should end in .osm.  The dialog 
is now ready to select Open.  That should then bring up a list of five data 
types you can download.  They are divided by data type, not content.  For 
example, if you now select the points and lines items and then press OK you 
will get generically named lines' and points layers in your project.

3) I usually download each data type and keep that as an original layer before 
I start to copy them and create the transportation routes or settlements I need 
on layers.  Thats the third step if you want to separate the last two.

Now all your data is in vector form and on your computer so it should load 
quickly compared to online sources.

Hope that helps.

Re: [Qgis-user] Geocoding Plugin

2014-08-06 Thread Sasa Sullivan
Hi All,

I was able to install the MMQGIS plugin okay (Thank you) but getting an
error message after trying to geocode my list, this file appears in the
tutorial and I don't see anything that tells me to do anything about it
there, so I am guessing it is a file present in QGIS or I put it there when
I installed the plugin, I don't  know:

 Failure Opening: C:\PROGRA~1\QGISCH~1\bin/notfound.csv

Am I suppose to create this file?

 Hi Sasa

 You can use the geocoding tool in  MMQGIS pluging.

 Here an example [1]

 I gave it a quick try using a csv with 1000+ records. Got an error message
 back (in the end of the geocoding process, read below) and an empty
 Shapefile.

 QGIS installed via the rion overlay in Funtoo.

[Qgis-user] two problems

2014-08-06 Thread Tomas Lanczos
Hello everybody.

I'd like to install qgis 2.4 on my Manjaro box, using the AUR (Arch linux)
repository - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qgis/
In fact, it is a compilation process, with a source cod downloaded from
git://github.com/qgis/QGIS.git#branch=release-2_4

PROBLEM NO. 1

if I compile it without grass support, the compilation/installation process
is going out without problem, but after starting qgis, I got the following
error message:

ouldn't load SIP module.
Python support will be disabled.


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File , line 1, in
ImportError: No module named sip


Python version:
2.7.8 (default, Jul  1 2014, 17:30:21)
[GCC 4.9.0 20140604 (prerelease)]

QGIS version:
2.4.0-Chugiak 'Chugiak', ed14cf3

Python path:
['/usr/share/qgis/python', u'/home/tomas/.qgis2/python',
u'/home/tomas/.qgis2/python/plugins', '/usr/share/qgis/python/plugins',
'/home/tomas', '/usr/share/qgis/python', '/usr/local/lib/python27.zip',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-old',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages']

PROBLEM No.2

It is essential for me to use qgis with grass support, so I tried to
compile qgis with the following options:

 cmake ../ \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DENABLE_TESTS=OFF \
-DQGIS_MANUAL_SUBDIR=share/man \
-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2 \
-DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so \
-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/python2.7 \
-DPYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES_DIR=/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages \
-DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4 \
-DWITH_INTERNAL_QWTPOLAR=OFF \
-DWITH_INTERNAL_SPATIALITE=OFF \
#-DWITH_MAPSERVER=TRUE \
-DGRASS_PREFIX=/opt/grass64 \
#-DWITH_GLOBE=TRUE \

In this case I'm getting this errormessage after the configuring process:

-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /home/tomas/builds/qgis/src/qgis/build
/home/tomas/builds/qgis/PKGBUILD: line 98: -DGRASS_PREFIX=/opt/grass64: No
such file or directory
== ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...

The strange thing is that, the /opt/grass64 directory is existing, but it
can't locate it.

Many thanks in advance for any feedback

Tomas

Re: [Qgis-user] Geocoding Plugin

2014-08-06 Thread Sasa Sullivan
I think that not found file is an exceptions list and I had none, still
it did not generate a shp file until I made my own output file. I found
this page from the developer http://michaelminn.com/linux/mmqgis/ , so I am
working my way through it. I did get a shapefile eventually but some of the
places were wrong and I thought it was going to give me coordinates on a
list (I can see them if I click on them with Identify Features,. That's
it for now

Thank you! I would never have thought to look there.

At the very top of QGIS look 3rd item from the right (menu) and you will

Hello,

I'm running QGIS 2.4 (under Windows 8.1 and Mac OSX 9), and trying to
follow this article on adding a basemap:
http://maps.cga.harvard.edu/qgis/wkshop/basemap.php

It talks about installing the OpenLayers plug-in; I found it already
installed.
But then it talks about using a Plugins  OpenLayers plugin submenu,
which I don't see anywhere.

How do you add a basemap, e.g. OSM or Google Satellite layer, in QGIS
2.4?

Thanks,
Lars
