All,

I've been running into the same sync issues with other apps like AutoCAD.  And 
the sharing of data in OneDrive is very painful, as in there is no such 
category (AFAIK) for a "PUBLIC" setting to file access.  We have a similar need 
to share files with fairly large and varied named groups.

I tried to have a Public user put into place, but that seems to be a frowned 
upon approach these days.   I have thought about setting up a Samba server 
specifically for this purpose in Azure.  I have not yet found any  good 
solutions.

We have a client who currently have all their files on OneDrive/Office365.
Has anyone had any success or failure using QGIS in this environment?

It seems like it could work using OneDrive sync so long as all data files are 
kept below qgz files in the file structure.
I'm suspicious that we could end up with a lot of sync errors though, and 
OneDrive doesn't seem to handle them well.  They would like multiple users to 
be able to access data.

They do not have a great internet connection, so I suspect may have to set up a 
local fileshare or even PostgreSQL.

Re: [Qgis-user] Automating creation of county distribution maps

2022-03-11 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul) via Qgis-user

I've struggled with the same sort of problem over the years, of building 
something for print from digital data in a reusable way.  Maybe reusable isn't 
unnecessary for your project, but another big piece for mine was maintaining 
and displaying the correct scales.   In the end, it made the most sense (for 
us) to simply build an online Mapping system with all the data and send in the 
combinations needed as Web queries to build each page.  There are a multitude 
of tools available for web call automation.

I neglected to mention the use for the distribution maps.
They will be used in a print brochure.
A page mock up can be seen here:

The USA distribution map in the mock up was made in Qgis using the
information from:
https://plants.usda.gov/home/plantProfile?symbol=BODI2

This is interactive and will display down to the state and county level.
However, they are not up to date at the state/county level. If they were
I would simply make a screen shot and that would be the end of it.

The state distribution map used in the mock up was made using Qgis based
on data from the West Virginia University Herbarium which has the most
up to date information on distribution.

You’re not along with this type of problem.  I’ve run into the same thing with

Hi Simon and Nicolas,

Yes, that was our idea, too - to merge two or more lines that share their 
start/end vertices.

But unfortunately, this doesn't work for us, because we edit in a very complex 
data model and QGIS doesn't preserve feature Ids when merging features --> all 
of our DB relations would then fail.

See https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/47629

I asked our commercial support provider to hopefully fix this issue ... then we 
could go the "merge route".

as a workaround for your problem I would suppose you draw a new line feature

Hi,



To my knowledge, when using the vertex tool, you click on the last node and 
then, you can extend it once.  I think you need to reclick the last node again 
if you want to add a new point.  I don't do much vectorizing lately and in the 
past, used AutoCAD to do it. There must be some other way of doing it. Maybe 
there is a shortcut or something like the shift key we need to use.  I would 
check the user manual to see if there is an option under the vertex tool.  I 
see that lots of new tools have been added lately making QGIS a good contender 
for tracing.  I guess you could just create a new line and then merge both 
together.



Just my grain of salt...

Josh,

Not exactly what you are asking for, but . . .   :c)

We’ve had success (7 currently in the field) with setting up Raspberry Pis with 
a GIS webserver stack and connecting to them in the field via Wifi from 
whatever web enabled device you have.  We have over 250k  (250,000) documents 
on four of them for the Survey field crews, and all the docs are geolocated 
down to the street level in the City.

https://github.com/klassenjs/rpi-workshop

Works great, you can run the RPi off a USB battery, or connect to vehicle 
ignition.  The nice piece is it has one button for on/off.  That’s it, run it, 
connect to Wifi and you have your own private internet/web server.   We’ve 
planned on setting up some collection processes via the web too, but haven’t 
gotten there yet.

Anyway, something to think about.

Re: [Qgis-user] Migrating legacy QGIS instance

2020-08-11 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)

Depending on your end goal, you might be more suited to leaving things as they 
are and using  some sort of content explorer to organize the existing data.  
Then worry about migrating to different formats as needed.

We’ve been using GeoMoose for this purpose.  It can connect to just about any 
data source on the back end, such as SHP, Postgres, and GeoPackage to name a 
few, but also can connect to proprietary services as well.  Because it can use 
Mapserver as a display engine and data query tool, it lends itself to online 
exploration of the data without the need for a full blown GIS tool.  This 
allows for wide spread use by non-GIS pros.  The datasets can still be managed 
by you with QGIS and/or in Postgres/postgis, or whatever you prefer for that 
purpose.  The Mapserver setup allow for connecting to just about any type of 
service behind the scenes, and with the right configuration, you can also 
enable each dataset in the GeoMoose catalog as a WMS/WFS data source, thee 
standard for open data format access and publishing.

advice about migration.

i've created a new QGIS instance in version 3.14, into which i am trying to 
bring all useful content from our old system: oodles of shapefiles, 
essentially, plus all those other files (each .shp file appears to bring with 
it a set of.shx, .dbf, .prj, qpj  files, plus a .cpg file for each layer, it 
seems).  This is a significant dataset- 14gb, >1000 files -and that is just 
base data, not counting Projects built on this data or Layouts used for 
presenting these projects in various ways. Some of this is cruft that i can 
happily do without, but still:  i've got a lot of porting-over to do, without a 
clear idea of how best to do it.

The one thing i'm clear about is: i want it all in a non-proprietary database 
(i.e. no more mess of .shp and related files) that is above all quick & easy to 
navigate & manage. It is a single-user system at this point, but i do aim to 
open it up to colleagues (off-LAN, i.e. via Internet) as soon as i've developed 
simple apps for them to use.  No idea how long it'll take me to get there, so...

Big question at this point is: What should be the new storage format for all 
this data?  Having read a few related opinions on StackOverflow, i get the 
sense that GeoPackage will probably make for easiest migration (per this 
encouraging 
article,
 it's a simple matter of drag -simple if you have just a few, i guess! 
[1]), and can easily support my needs in the short term, but then i wonder: How 
will i manage migration to PostGIS when i eventually put  this system online 
with different users/ roles enabled?

[1] Given that i need to pull in some hundreds of .shp files that are stored in 
a tree of many folders & subfolders, i also wonder: is there a simple way that 
i can ask QGIS to traverse a certain directory, pull in all the .shp files 
-each as its own .gpkg layer, i suppose?

Any advice about managing this migration would be much appreciated!

Dear QGIS mappers,

As you may have noticed, the next release version will be 3.14 and therefore, 
we will call it 'Pi'.

Usually our versions are named for community meeting locations and the splash

For 3.14 we are looking for creative maps that capture the essence of Pi.

All submissions will receive an honorable mention in the release blog post.

The winner will see their map on the release splash screen and banner on 
qgis.org.

To participate, please submit your maps at

The deadline is 31st May 2020.

[Qgis-user] load (custom) EPSG into QGIS from PostGIS

Anyone ever tried to load a (custom) projection into QGIS from a PostGIS query? 
 I’m not even sure what that might look like from the QGIS side.  Just looking 
for ideas to automate this.


We use Postgres/PostGIS quite a bit and consequently our custom projection 
resides in the spatial_ref_sys table.  We’ve simply manually loaded with 
Copy/past into QGIS in the past, but was wondering if anyone has tried to 
pipeline this into a process.  It’s not a big problem to explain the copy/paste 
method, but it’s a bit harder to explain to non-gis centric folks what to do.

Just trying to make things easier related to handling our custom projection.

Hi there, Christoph,

generally speaking: I have another perspective about it and would approach your 
problem it in a different way:

Instead of pre-defined cut-offs (which are circular reasoning and are often 
surprising when checked in real world and GIS)
I would simply run a 'proximity to' points vs line first. And then in the 
resulting proximity table set a cut-off, select accordingly and see whether
this achieves the outcome wanted.

For pre-defined cut-offs, we call it usually 'geographic racism'.
Instead, we try to celebrate the gradient theory; when tested it often works 
better in real life.
Worth a test.

Just an alternative thought to the problem at hand.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS vs ArcGIS in Education and Practice

2016-12-15 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)

All,

I think a better plan of attack is to say that they (students) need proficiency 
in multiple pieces of software, both open and proprietary in nature.  Each 
piece of software, no matter who makes/sells it, has it’s pros and cons for use.

Making students aware of the options is the bigger part of the equation.  
Showing how the new tool(s) can be integrated into a common software processing 
chain is a good approach to inserting new/open tech into the discussion.  A lot 
harder to argue against as well.  Some still do though, but it’s not as easy to 
flatly discount options this way.

Dear List,

I was asked to give a 5 days international GIS training course at the 
university and proposed to do it with QGIS. The program leader finally insisted 
on doing it with ArcGIS arguing  that the students had better chances to find a 
job knowing ArcGIS rather than QGIS. This argumentation does not reflect my 
long professional experience as a GIS consultant at all!
But how can I proof that knowing QGIS is the better choice for young GIS 
professionals than ArcGIS (or at least that both systems are equally suited)?
Does anybody know any official numbers of GIS users worldwide or on the 
worldwide application of QGIS over ArcGIS?

I know the Master thesis from Boku Vienna 
(https://geoobserver.wordpress.com/2016/02/09/arcgis-vs-qgis/) but it is 
focused on a technical comparison of both systems only.
Also the link 
https://www.g2crowd.com/grid_report/documents/gis-winter-2016-report is not 
really helpful because it is based on some 40 reviews only and therefore not 
representative.
I really need to know some proven facts on the number of global QGIS users and 
renown companies using QGIS worldwide.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Re: [Qgis-user] drawing transport networks sharing lines

2016-08-18 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)

Well, depending on how many classes you have for routes, you could make each 
type (class ) a differnt width, and stack the lines on top of each other with 
the widest one at the bottom of the stack.

If you don’t have vertical order control, you m,ight be able to get away with 
some level of opacity applied to each trail in order to see through to the next 
line type.

Re: [Qgis-user] Looking for a suggestion on a vector format

2015-12-18 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)

Hi Jesse,

I’ve actually done work in this area as well.  After reading your needs list 
and before seeing that you thought about DWG/SVG, I’ll say that those were the 
two formats I was going to suggest for storing everything.  DXF is open, as 
well as DWG (More work though).

You might be able to make a case for GeoJSON, but it’s limiting in some ways, 
and you would probably need to include JS or a JS Lib as well as the styling 
info separately.  Although you could conceivably put it all into a single HTML 
doc.

DWG/DXF?  SVG?

[Qgis-user] Label outlines.

2015-12-15 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)

All,

Any option in QGIS for outlining Labels?  I’ve sort of got a trick working by 
adding a layer twice (see side note below).  This isn’t good for long term 
editing of the data files (I have to edit both SHP files, or edit one, and copy 
to the new name again.  Hmm, on Linux, does QGIS follow soft links correctly?


SIDENOTE:  Why do I need to copy a SHP file to a new name in order to use the 
same data file but with different styling.  I would have figured I could rename 
the layer in QGIS and then add the same datafile again, but alas, it gets mixed 
up when the same data file is used more than once.  I stacked the same layer on 
top of itself but with a slightly large text size on the bottom (background) in 
order to display a colored outline of the Label/Text.

Yeah, there is work being done on making the UI UX better at the moment so this

The label is part of the style hence the disappearance when the symbol is

[Qgis-user] rotating labels from attribute, how to use 0-360 (in place of -180 - 180)

2015-12-08 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)

All,

So it looks like QGIS is expecting rotation values as -180 - 180.  How do I 
change this to 0 - 360?  I’m exporting the numbers from a CAD (AutoCAD) 
program.  I may be able to tweak the output from AutoCAD to get the expected 
rotation, but is there a way to change the rotation limit values in QGIS on the 
fly via an expression?

Re: [Qgis-user] ArcGIS & QGIS

2015-11-12 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)

We have the same sorts of problems in our office.

One (stupid IMO) approach, might be to use raster icons for symbols.  Just 
convert all symbols to some raster format and use that as a transfer method.

Based on a quick scan of this page, it looks doable:

http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2012/04/26/pictures-in-arcgis-symbols/

To tell the truth, I’ve not really needed to pursue this is any great detail to 
date because just about every single application (and user) has their own 
methods and preferences for symbology.  We have a very large AutoCAD user base 
for example, and even using the ARC add-on, doesn’t solve the problem of 
changing the symbology between applications.  It seems that most applications 
are ok with exporting their symbols in some sort of generic format, but it’s 
not always something that can be manipulated downstream on the receiving end.

how can I share things like symbology and project files?  I know this is a

have to duplicate everything in ArcGIS.  For many private and government 
organizations simply installing QGIS is not an option for them.  So far the cop

governmental level.  I want to be able to produce quality work (which I can in 
QGIS) but I have to be able to share it when I need to without the duplication 
of work.

I understand that ArcGIS does not play ball and so the burden to share is all 
on QGIS.  This is a problem that needs to be overcome by the QGIS community if 
they want to expand and become an equal in places where corporations and 
government agencies make the software choices at the highest levels.

If somehow sharing projects and symbology (especially symbologyy) is already

Re: [Qgis-user] How to convert a QGIS project to a web hosted version

2015-11-05 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)

Jesse,

I would suggest taking a look at GeoMOOSE ( & MS4W if you want to go the 
Windows Route).

You can get it installed fairly quickly, and can run it on your own computer, 
and once you have it all working locally, you can figure out the public hosting 
aspects.  I’ve got some ideas to suggest for public facing stuff, just email me 
off list.

You could use WebDAV to handle the sharing.  All web based, and can look the

Your answer encourages me to try the PostGIS option - it obviously has some 
other useful advantages. But your reply also made me realize that the problem 
is really that much of the data I have is on another network share - hence the 
problem with the paths. I should simply move the data so that everything is on 
the same share and and then, relative paths will solve the problem.
Again, thank you for a very helpful answer.

Are the paths in you qgs file relative or absolute? If their relative, is the

All,

Oops, I responded to the wrong thread (group actually)

But really, if you wanted to run POSTGIS(Postgres) in the cloud, you would just 
set up a remote VM with OS of you choice), set up Postgres/PostGIS and use it 
from there.  You can filter the remote connections from within the Postgres 
config, etc.

Re: [Qgis-user] Local Government for QGIS

Hello all,

Related to topic, I’ve been researching interest in setting up a regional 
cooperative for local governments around GeoMOOSE (at first) users in my area 
(upper Midwest, lot’s of GeoMOOSE up here)

If I can get an informal group together and get something started as a common 
roadmap for development, I think that will go far in reaching a lot of the 
goals that have been suggested here so far.  Having some sort of organization 
that is further reaching than our regional area might be a bit more of a 
stretch in the near term though, but it’s all likely a good thing in the long 
run.

 I say that with the subtext of legitimizing the use of F/OSS by
 governments, i.e. show them others who are using it, show them standards
 they can point to and justify themselves by, and show them that being
 beholden to software corps isn't the only way to get support.
 
 I would suggest the following actions to supporting that goal:
 
 * Compiling standards that Governments can (be) point to (endorsing the
  (OGC standards)[http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards]?)
 * Compiling software that Governments can (be) pointed to (QGIS,
  PostGIS, GDAL, c)
 * Compiling case-studies done with F/OSS
 * Compiling white papers around using F/OSS
 * Improve the documentation and tutorials of recommended software
 * Work towards creating standards as needs arise
 * Provide a starting point for Governments to network with
  * Other governments using F/OSS
  * Vendors of F/OSS-based services (I'd be OK if this was left out,
though it could be useful depending on our exact goals)

 In some European countries the situation is a bit different and Open

 I also think that the next couple of years we will see an increasing

 Some examples in Switzerland:

Well my first answer would be to suggest you simply open the DBF file up in 
Excel and edit it directly, as long as you leave the ID columns (to associate 
the attributes with the Geometries) alone you can do all that you describe.  
But Excel no longer opens DBF files by default (or does it now, again?).  So, 
you should use OpenOffice or LibreOffice to open them, and then do the same 
thing in there.

Re: [Qgis-user] Labelling expressions: how to select the 'last' row in a csv dataset

2014-03-10 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)

Gavin,

Set up the CSV file creation to append to the top of the file instead of the 
bottom, then just read the first line for the special cartography.

If you are running on Linux, there are a whole bunch of options with AWK/GREP, 
etc to get the data outputting in a more favorable fashion for reading.

My first thought was to suggest the SQL path though, this gives you lots of 
options for archiving and looking at the path/trail over time . . .

I've just completed doing something similar for a AVL tracking system.

Subject: [Qgis-user] Labelling expressions: how to select the 'last' row in a

Hi,

I have a csv file that looks like this:

datetime, latitude, longitude, speed
2014-03-07T06:11:56.794000, 69.6930, 19.0321, 0.0 2014-03-07T06:12:56.791000, 
69.6904, 19.0291, 10.0 2014-03-07T06:13:56.787000, 69.6879, 19.0257, 10.0

A new row gets added to the file every second or so. I load this file into QGIS 
as a csv file with the watch option turned on so that every time the map is 
refreshed, the map plots any new points that have been added to the file.

I would like to have the most recent line in the file plotted with a different 
symbol to the rest (the data represents realtime data from a moving ship so 
it's good to highlight the latest position). I can almost do this using the 
expression based labelling, but not quite (I can get a row number, but not the 
total number of rows, so can't do something obvious like: $rownum == $numrows, 
or $id == max($id)).

Any suggestions on how I can achieve this? I could move the data into a 
SQL-based layer and choose the last row using an SQL statement, but the 
simplicity of generating the csv files is attractive.

Thanks

Cheers...

I don't want to create shapefiles or csv's, etc, from spreadsheets,  I just 
want to plot *.xls files which contain x/y columns on the map.

I sort of figured that if a GIS tool can open an xls file this would be pretty 
basic functionality... perhaps optimistically :-)

The use case I'm envisaging is a live Excel spreadsheet used to store data. New 
rows (records) are added as appropriate. A QGIS project includes the 
spreadsheet as a current layer - so a QGIS user can open the spreadsheet, as 
well as other map layers,  save the project. Reopening the project would 
automatically plot all the rows in the spreadsheet on the map.

The only ways I can see to achieve this functionality involve recreating 
another copy of the spreadsheet in another format before I can view the points 
on the map. Which is an annoying extra few steps every time I want to view the 
spreadsheet.
Is this worth filing a ticket for? Perhaps add some extra functionality in the 
vector layer dialogue: if the file type opened is an xls, allow the user to 
(optionally) specify the column identifiers for the X  Y coords  the SRID to 
apply?

Otherwise you could use Processing. Under QGIS geoalgorithms - Vector creation

Execute as batch process, you could generate all the shapefiles in one shot.

choose an xls file (created by Open Office)  I can open it  view the 
attribute table fine.

What I'm unable to do is tell QGIS which columns to use for the lat/lon columns 
(each row represents a point). I can do this if I save the xls as a csv  open 
the delimited text file, but is there any way to do this natively with the xls 
file? I don't want to store a QGIS csv version of every spreadsheet

[Qgis-user] How the heck do I add a new EPSG code to QGIS?

2012-10-10 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)


All,

I used to be able to just add it to the PROJ file, where is that now?

The Custom CRS creater thingy doesn't let you assign a EPSG code, our WMS uses 
EPSG: 200068 (we've been using this for years, and is based on a County Listing 
at the State of Minnesota.)  So how do I add this to QGIS as a new EPSG code.  
All the solution I'm finding say to use the Custom CRS thing.

Thanks

Bobb

Re: [Qgis-user] How the heck do I add a new EPSG code to QGIS?

2012-10-10 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)

Alex,

Longer explanation of current installation (sorry!).

We have used EPSG:200068 as our local custom code for years. It's defined in
our WMS

http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/datasets/WMS/SAINT_PAUL/PUBLIC_WORKS/WMS/wms_public.map?REQUEST=GetCapabilitiesVersion=3.1.0SERVICE=WMS

, which is what I'm currently trying to load into QGIS (and OpenLayers) as a
data source, it hooks up fine, but I can't seem to get it to set the prj
coordinate system to 200068 in QGIS as the default. All our records revolve
around this coordinate system so it's pretty much a must have setup. Last time
I worked with QGIS, I simply added it to the PROJ file as an extra line, that
doesn't seem to work anymore.

As an aside, I have sent in a registration request to the PROJ project in the
past, but never got a reply. We didn't come up with this code on our own
either; it's been listed as such from the State of Minnesota here:

http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/tcmug/2006-February/000143.html (I.E. 100068
different first digit)

Anyway, need to figure this out for someone else using QGIS . . .

Thanks for the help.

Bobb

If the Custom CRS tool is insufficient, the storage of the SRS is
in an sqlite database srs.db I believe (has been that way for
years now).

If that's a somewhat official code in use in the wild that
doesn't conflict with other codes, you can put in a ticket to the
proj project to make sure it gets into their database which I
think is what QGIS syncs with on occasion.

Enjoy,
Alex

Alex,

I got the EPSG into the Spatialite DB, it's now the defauly projection in QGIS, 
I set the display for the coorect coordinate system, but adding anything from 
the WMS results in a blank screen.

Is there anyway to log the WMS requests from QGIS to see what it's sending?

Thanks

Bobb
