Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS on Windows 7

Hi Jurgen,

> Try installing from OSGeo4W, but include the 
api-ms-win-core-path-HACK package. That should make python work on 
Windows 7 again (but still only 64bit).


I think most Win 7 users would benefit from simply having a link to 
whatever the latest release is that works for Win 7.


Something like 10% of all Windows users are Windows 7 after all - 
https://gs.statcounter.com/os-version-market-share/windows/desktop/worldwide 
- By my maths that's about 3 times more (in absolute numbers) than there 
are Linux users. So that's a lot of users who can't readily download 
QGIS (as it's not clear which one they should be downloading other than 
"not the latest").


Thanks,

Jonathan

What's the last version that will work on Windows 7? Ideally an LTS.
  

Also, given there are still many millions of Windows 7 users out there, it
may be worth linking to it explicitly as well.

Re: [Qgis-user] Public vector tile servers

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi David,

Yep, this isn't information you can readily find via Google. GeoSeer 
(https://www.geoseer.net) is a search engine for such services but we 
don't expose getmap_formats as a searchable parameter. Behind the scenes 
though I can confirm there are 1,880 WMS services that declare 
`vnd.mapbox-vector-tile` as one of their getmap_formats (of 175,752 WMS 
services). I.e. only about 1% of WMS' declare VectorMaps support.


A random few (not tested):

http://si.icnf.pt/geoserverplinia/BDG/ardida_2018/ows?SERVICE=WMS;

https://cdc.dwd.de:443/geoserver/CDC/VGSL_NM_MN004/ows?SERVICE=WMS;

Re: [Qgis-user] Font Awesome symbols in QGIS

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Nyall,

The problem is it's near impossible to know what people will use for 
symbology.


> battery indicators

Charging stations; indicators of expected charge during a Battery 
operated vehicle event; etc [although probably only need the empty one; 
the full rest can be created with symbology and a rectangle]


> volume

Mapping a festival; tracking noise complaints; etc

> most of the "hand" ones

I'd probably keep about half of them. The rotation variants are not 
needed of course, but quite a few hands could be used: hand-wash (I hear 
there's something going around...), hand-pointer, praying-hands, 
handshake, hand-rock, hand-holding (the variants can be created by 
symbology), hands, hand-sparkles. I can think of uses for all of these.


It's obviously subjective but I'd lean on the side of including ones 
that look like they could be useful, especially given the suggestions 
around categorisation and search in my other thread which would improve 
discoverability. Remember people make maps of all manner of crazy 
things, and often subvert one symbol to mean another thing (with some 
tweaking) [or maybe that's just me ;-) ].


Cheers,

Jonathan

That's the kind of ones I was referring to. Also stuff like volume
up/down, battery indicators, the calender +/-/check icons, most of the
"hand" ones, a bunch of the "user" ones. I can't see those EVER being
used in a map! By the time you remove them and all the brand ones then
you're probably down to about 20% of the original set.

I second Regis plan: if someone forks (or even clones) the github repo, and 
creates a simple script to morph it a little to resemble the structure you need 
for the 'QGIS Resource Sharing' Plugin to work (see [0] as simple example and 
[1] for the nice documentation of it), the icons are one click away for users 
(plus another one to install the plugin).

And the more proper Resource set's we are having, the better our style/icon 
resources will get.

Re: [Qgis-user] Font Awesome symbols in QGIS

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Richard, Nyall,

Richard, I'm afraid I must respectfully disagree.

I've not encountered the QGIS Resource Sharing plugin before, and I'm 
not seeking to denigrate it, but it's not clear to me what the "QGIS 
Resource Sharing" plugin does based on the description, nor is it likely 
the sort of plugin I'd install. It also seems to be a case of needing to 
download a plugin and then from within that plugin download something 
else? So a kind of plugin within a plugin. It's turt^d^d plugins all the 
way down! :-) I'm of the view plugins should be for solving specific 
tasks, but that's a different thread. I definitely think a decent set of 
cartographic symbols is something that should come as default, 
especially as I doubt the vast majority of users add many, if any 
plugins (the most popular plugins seem to be QuickMapServies at 
1.5million downloads, with Semi-automated classification coming second 
at 750k; no idea how many QGIS downloads there have been, but I'd be 
surprised if it's not at least 10x that).


Also, the current symbology is so random: There's cycle parking and 
cycle locking, but no cycle? No car but two taxis? Oh, and 5 (five!) 
aeroplanes to choose from, and multiple types of train. And that's just 
"transport". And *then* you've got another two aeroplanes under "GPS 
icons" (which is also where a car is!). :-o


> [Nyall] So while I'm all for expanding the set of including icons, I 
think we'd need someone to go through and cherry-pick a only a subset of 
the font awesome ones which are relevant for mapping purposes

Re: [Qgis-user] Font Awesome symbols in QGIS

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Régis,
The SVGs are only 853kB compressed (1.15MB uncompressed (6.30MB on 
disk)), so size shouldn't be a problem.


License: Honestly I stopped worrying about licenses year ago; I've 
already wasted enough of my life dealing with licensing. :-) The Pro 
version includes several thousand extra icons and isn't GPL friendly, so 
I'm just proposing using the free ones. The license for the free ones is 
as linked 
(https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/LICENSE.txt) - 
I just take it at its word that it's "GPL friendly". But this is the 
pertinent line: "In the Font Awesome Free download, the CC BY 4.0 
license applies to all icons packaged as SVG"


Cheers,
Jonathan

Given that QGIS is used for any kind of work, I don't think embeding

Maybe you can contact them to see if this is possible?

Another issue to be taken into account is that the package size for 
Windows has already reached the limits of the NSIS installer because 
of the proj-data grids. That means we need to provide a different way 
to install those additional resources. Resource sharing plugin does it 
nicely I think but is not enough advertised. Let's spread the word

Re: [Qgis-user] Referer

Interesting info. Although HTTP Referer isn't a GI thing, it's a HTTP 
thing; far pre-dating WMS. ESRI do similar non-standard things with the 
standard HTTP headers.

I just misinterpreted the word “referer”. The reason for it in a nutshell:

My company uses Smallworld as the main gis and we have an extension to

a config file  with the URLs of the services and also a ”referer” for 
each of them: the copyright respectively the owner of the WMS. This 
information will be displayed in the map view after making a WMS Layer 
visible. I just saw an input field in QGIS named referer and thought, 
it would be the same like in Smallworld. But one more thing Smallworld 
is very different to other GI systems :D

Re: [Qgis-user] Qgis crashes while loading WMTS layers

Hi Patrick,

I'd suggest reporting this to the QGIS bug tracker as a regression.

Jonathan

Further investigation and comment

Since recently installing Qgis 3.4.15 or 3.4.14 on some of my 
computers running Debian 10, I immediately began to see a trend of the 
software exhibiting an increased tendency to crash when working with 
certain WMTS layers that I had previously worked with extensively over 
recent weeks for mapping purposes.


After attempting numerous changes including special versions of 
projects containing no file based raster layers and only containing 
one WMTS layer at a time and being unable to use the software 
regardless I created a virtual machine running Debian 9 which has the 
latest version available for that platform, 3.4.4. This has resulted 
in immediate major improvement in the reliability of the software to 
the point I can resume using it without the numerous crashes of the 
software that have been noted recently, especially in the last week 
approximately.


On 27/01/20 1:19 am, Patrick Dunford wrote:

Good day to all.

Not so long ago I wrote a post about issues handling large numbers of 
raster files. This results from what appears to be an architectural 
design limitation of Qgis in that it only has enough resources 
available for a certain (unknown) number of raster layers and does 
not have any effective system for dealing with the exhaustion of 
these resources.


I also noted that the software does not appear to have the ability to 
use the swap (virtual memory) resources within a system to deal with 
the apparent exhaustion of resources, as other software would. For 
example, Gimp which I use for graphical editing is able to handle 
certain projects using a swap space of 200 GB, which consists of 32 
GB of physical RAM and the rest in SSD. It is not unusual with some 
of these graphics projects to have 100 GB or more of swap space in 
use, without crashing the system. (This being possible since Gimp 
2.10 with its ability to write files of more than 4 GB)


Whilst it is possible to manage the number of layers with file based 
rasters, this cannot be done with a WMTS server because there is no 
way I am aware of to manage the number of layers that can be 
downloaded from the server.


Version 2.18 and earlier almost never crashed with excess layers, 
usually all that would happen is a layer would be displayed with 
invalid data. However, crashes have become the norm with 3.x versions 
of software.


It seems to me there is a big architectural problem in the software 
with its inability to utilise the full resources of the system in 
order to process the number of layers that a WMTS server is capable 
of issuing.

I suggested it because it may work for your purposes where your current

Hi Michael,

There is a WFS with them in that works in QGIS:

https://www.geoseer.net/rl.php?ql=f64d2064355b5bdb=1=watsonian

Not tried them for analysis or exporting them, but may be worth a try.

Re: [Qgis-user] Map Software Query

Hi Gaurav,

This should definitely be do-able with QGIS. It sounds like a simple

should find a few tutorials.

Interesting. SQlite can most definitely handle multiple users - 
certainly reading, and for writing if it's not over the network, I 
expect the processes are breaking one (or more) of the "do this to 
corrupt your database" rules.

Hi Andrea and Enrico,

Thank you for providing an answer even if it was not what I was 
hoping to hear; it was the conclusion I'd reached myself.


Has this issue been considered given the official move from shapefile 
to geopackage as the default format?


My understanding was that shapefiles could be used over a network and 
whilst multiple people editing was dangerous it did not cause deadlocks.


Combined with the issues relating to MapInfo tab files over a network 
I've got into some hot water over my attempt to get QGIS rolled out 
in our organisation now. I'm going to have to think carefully about 
my next steps as it can be difficult to educate large numbers of 
staff and the two issues mean that people using QGIS incorrectly can 
cause pretty big issues.


To summarise,
  - You open a geopackage and save to the network; someone else comes 
along and opens it in their QGIS and everything looks okay until the 
PCs deadlock...ICT help calls and data corruption may occur.
  - You open a MapInfo tab file from the network and it looks fine 
(accept that it my draw in a user projection). MapInfo user receive 
errors but this is unknown to the QGIS user...ICT help calls result.


Whilst I'm glad the forums have helped to diagnose both behaviours I 
would personally say that the issues pose a bit of a threat to 
software adoption by larger companies and institutions that may be 
using Windows networks and potentially migrating from MapInfo.


In both cases my gut feel is that the best solution might be to look 
into use detection. If GDAL (I assume) can be improved to detect that 
either file type is already open then it might be possible to simply 
ban a second user from opening the file at the same time. This might 
frustrate some users but most importantly it would make the 
application safer from an ICT perspective.


These are of course just my personal opinion from my particular use 
case so please don't be offended by them if you disagree but I'd be 
really happy to hear how others are approaching the issues and/or 
opposing views?


Many thanks,
Paul

Hi Jarosław,

At the file level for SQLite itself, there are basically no constraints 
for reading as far as I know. You can have an effectively infinite 
number of readers (or however many your filesystem allow to access a 
single file at a time). Per the When to use page 
(https://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html) (my bold):


"High Concurrency

*SQLite supports an unlimited number of simultaneous readers*, but it 
will only allow one writer at any instant in time. For many situations, 
this is not a problem. Writers queue up. Each application does its 
database work quickly and moves on, and no lock lasts for more than a 
few dozen milliseconds. But there are some applications that require 
more concurrency, and those applications may need to seek a different 
solution."


I would suggest your situation is a QGIS/GeoPackage-driver bug/limitation.

Cheers,

Jonathan

(A little late).

TL;DR: at least for QGIS, is - never multi-user edit 
SQLite/SpatiaLite/GeoPackages on network file systems.

SQLite, (and therefore SpatiaLite and GeoPackage) has quite a few caveats when 
it comes to multiple users trying to edit it at once.

https://www2.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html

(my bold)

"SQLite depends on the underlying filesystem to do locking as the documentation says 
it will. But some filesystems contain bugs in their locking logic such that the locks do 
not always behave as advertised. This is especially true of network filesystems and NFS 
in particular. If SQLite is used on a filesystem where the locking primitives contain 
bugs, and if two or more threads or processes try to access the same database at the same 
time, then database corruption might result."

And there's also:

https://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html

Put simply (Note: I'm not an expert): It's fine to edit SQLite databases if 
they're not on a network file system with as many users as you want, or if they 
are on a network and you can guarantee only one process is going to write. 
However if multiple people/processes want to write to a network file system, 
you'll need a piece of middleware to manage the process, otherwise there's a 
good chance of corruption as Paul is seeing.

It may also be that QGIS is doing some of the other things on the "how to 
corrupt" page too. I imagine it will only get worse if you use multiple different 
software packages to edit simultaneously.

Re: [Qgis-user] GeoPackage deadlocks (Andrea Peri)

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Paul,

I think we're approaching this from opposing directions. It is *exactly* 
the "downsides" of the file format that impose these constraints. The 
problem is that QGIS isn't handling them well which is where we get 
situations like this.


I 100% agree with you about it being unreasonable for users to know 
about this, and QGIS definitely needs to handle it better, especially if 
it's the default format. That's why I came in with the docs to explain 
where the problem probably lies.



> 2. Ideally it would be possible for QGIS to prevent multiple edit 
sessions


Multiple edit sessions are absolutely fine, on a *local* filesystem at 
the SQLite file level. It may *not* be fine at the data level: if you 
and I edit the same polygon at the same time and then commit, what 
happens? Which does QGIS keep? That's an application-level problem for 
QGIS (no idea if it's addressed). For the SQLite file itself, *only* 
multiple editors via the network is a problem (well, at the other things 
on that link). It's definitely something QGIS needs to be able to handle 
better / warn about / lock.


I'd suggest raising this second issue on the QGIS tracker as a bug.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Hi,

I think the issue is not really the downsides of the file format so much as the 
more recent promotion of GeoPackage as a default format over shapefiles.

In my view it is unreasonable to expect the average user to delve into this 
level of detail and I would personally expect that the software (or 
documentation) would make clear any serious issues such as data corruption 
risks. Personally I’d go further and say work to avoid the situation at all.

This is why I asked the question really as there seem to me to be two key 
points:

   1.  There is some evidence that read-only access may be editing the file, 
see https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/23991
   2.  Ideally it would be possible for QGIS to prevent multiple edit sessions

IMHO the usefulness of the format seems limited if it is not possible for 
multiple users to view the same data. That said, the bug report I’ve linked to 
shows that other agree and the issue is being dealt with using the normal 
methods.

The second point is really the focus of why I originally asked the question. It 
is clear that SQLite itself cannot achieve this as it is unaware of edit 
sessions however QGIS could simply create a sidecar file as a worst case and 
that should work. If the sidecar file exists then editing is not possible 
unless you own the file otherwise the file is available for editing.

In simple terms I want QGIS to say no (and explain it is already being edited 
in a dialog) if a second user tries to put a GeoPackage in edit mode when 
someone else is already editing it.

I’ve already created a section in my bespoke plugin which corrects the bad 
projections for MapInfo tab files so I might just write the functionality above 
myself using Python.

Paul

Hi Liva,

This piqued my interest so I took a quick look into it. Reading the SLD

which can achieve that sort of thing though - maybe that's what you're 
having issues with?

Re: [Qgis-user] WMS "Add Default Servers"

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Paulo,

(Heading offtopic here)

I think a QGIS plugin for GeoSeer would be extremely useful and is 
definitely something I've considered. If done properly it would /greatly 
/improve the process of adding OGC services to QGIS and immeasurably 
improve the process of finding and adding them ...


...but it's an issue of funding. GeoSeer has no adverts because 
web-adverts are Bad(tm) - I morally disagree with them - so GeoSeer 
currently costs me money to run, and that's ignoring my considerable 
time cost to develop and maintain it! Remember, this is an ongoing 
service, not a one-time-develop thing. The business model behind making 
it self-sustaining is the (new!) API to search the database ( 
https://www.geoseer.net/api.php ), and this is paid-for. A QGIS plugin 
could easily use this API - that's what it's designed for - but as 
noted, the API is meant to be paid-for.


So if a plugin were used, it would either need some sort of ongoing 
funding to use the API, or users would have to buy their own API keys to 
use with the plugin, or I'd have to provide it free like I do with the 
web-search. While I'd like to do the free option, you can't pay rent 
with good-will.


Until I figure out a solution to this conundrum, and/or someone offers 
me funding for it, and/or the PSC wants to discuss it, I figure the free 
yes-really-not-even-selling-your-personal-information-like-google-does 
web search is a good starting point for users. I'm very open to 
suggestions for how to make it possible.


Cheers,

Jonathan

Re: [Qgis-user] WFS layer filter - fails to filter on name or abstract

Hi Lars,

Confirmed (3.4.3) - personally I'd consider it "suboptimal behaviour". 
Whether it's a bug depends on the originally desired behaviour. It 
should definitely be possible to search more than just the title. 
Especially as many layers don't have titles due to setups ("Name" is the 
only mandatory field).


I've opened it as a bug here: https://issues.qgis.org/issues/22053 - 
also applies to ArcGIS MapServer

Re: [Qgis-user] Cartograms in QGIS 3

[Jonathan Moules]

In case anyone is curious and comes across this in the future, it turns 
out that the number of iterations that was necessary using the 
Cartogram3 plugin was on the order of 250! This is far more than 
tutorials and the docs recommend ( <= 10).

The data is a (geopackage) world map of countries with integer values 
of 0 to 230,000.


I've tried googling around but many of the results are for QGIS 2.

Thanks,

Re: [Qgis-user] [QGIS-Server] WFS-T

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Berhnard,

Well, on the issue of why QGIS is using WFS 1.0.0 despite asking for 1.1 
- from the docs it appears QGIS Server only supports WFS 1.0.0, so they 
"negotiate" down to that version.


I'm afraid I can't help on your other question; hopefully someone else can.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

thank you for looking into this. Basically I want to run a WFS-T

QGIS desktop.
In QGIS desktop I specified the version to be 1.1, no idea why the 
transaction request is sent with version 1.0.0

So for me the question is: Does the client (QGIS desktop) generally 
work with a QGIS WFS-T Server? If yes why is it not working with my 
QGIS WFS-T Server?

Hi,

Well, taking the error at face value, it seems to be complaining that 
you have:

/REQUEST=Transaction/

in the URL. Which is odd because that's exactly what it should be 
(looking at the 1.0.0 spec).


But at the bottom of your error, it says:

10:15:17 WARNING [9148]: Service WFS 1.0.0 not found, returning default

So I'd suggest that QGIS Server doesn't support transactions for WFS 
1.0.0 (Transactions support is Optional). Except the QGIS docs say 
they do support Transaction: 
https://docs.qgis.org/2.8/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_server_support.html 
- and WFS 1.0.0 seems to be the only version supported by QGIS so... 
are the errors misleading? (I can't seem to readily find that page 
for QGIS 3.4).


The GetCapabilities of the server will tell you if it supports 
Transaction.


Maybe someone who knows QGIS Server (I'm just basing this reply off 
the spec and your error) can comment.

Re: [Qgis-user] River Flood modelling

Hi Nicolas,

If you don't get a reply here that solves your issue it may be worth 
asking on the GRASS mailing list. I know GRASS has a lot of hydrographic 
tools and it's integrated into QGIS so...

I know it can't be that simple but I would like to model a river flood

flood module with a LiDAR derived DEM, a seed but with the possibility

you just add water and figure out where the water goes down the valley 
when it goes over the dam.  Of course I can't use the normal lake 
flood modules because rivers are not flat therefore I need something 
that takes the downhill valley shape into consideration.  Also, I am 
not looking for a simple channel network map with lines and points.  I 
would like the actual polygon or raster representation of the 2D shape 
of the river channel.  Can you please point me in the right direction.

Re: [Qgis-user] Unexpected end of file connecting to WFS on macOS

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Robert

Well, as Richard points out, that service is a bit dodgy. The weird 
Abstracts are not helping. This is compounded by there being > 2800 
layers in there.


There are actually a few dozen servers out there that have thousands of 
layers in their GetCaps. This WMTS for example has almost 4000 layers 
and the file is 
http://bhuvannuis.nrsc.gov.in/bhuvan/gwc/service/wmts?request=GetCapabilities=WMTS=1.0.0 
 
- and it loads just fine on my QGIS 2.18.8 install. That GetCap is 
legitimately ~55MB and is the single largest GetCapabilites in my index 
of several tens of thousands of public getcap responses (only ~35 are 
larger than 10MB). So kudos to QGIS for handling these large GetCaps 
quickly.


That all said, the WFS URL provided by parent works fine for me on my 
Windows 2.18.8 install. Given it only seems faulty on the parent's Mac 
install, assuming they're all on the same fairly fast network, I'd 
suggest opening it as a bug on the tracker.

Cheers,
Jonathan

We have a geoserver install here which works fine with the latest QGIS
on Windows and Linux, but always fails to connect with QGIS on macOS.

Procedure to replicate:

* Open the Data Source Manager, select WFS
* Add new server connection:
   * Name: AURIN Open API noauth
   * URL:  http://openapi.aurin.org.au/public/wfs
   * Version 1.1
* Click the Connect button

After exactly 60 seconds (the timeout set in Perferences), I get the
error message: "unexpected end of file".  QGIS on Windows and Linux both
connect in around 10 seconds, and increasing the timeout on macOS
doesn't help.

In the Messages pane I only see a datetime with the word WARNING but no
other info.  The WFS tab has "WARNING Download of capabilities failed:
Operation canceled".  Network tab has: "WARNING Network request
http://openapi.aurin.org.au/public/wfs?SERVICE=WFS=GetCapabilities=1.1.0
timed out"

Is there any way I can debug this further?  I haven't managed to find
any way to increase the log level, and trying to use tcpdump and
wireshark hasn't gotten me anywhere either.

Hi Robert,

I think you hit some kind of wfs-data issue here.

If I open the url in a browser:
http://openapi.aurin.org.au/public/wfs?SERVICE=WFS=GetCapabilities=1.1.0

Or time it using curl:

time curl
"http://openapi.aurin.org.au/public/wfs?SERVICE=WFS=GetCapabilities=1.1.0;

real0m20.490s
user0m0.090s
sys 0m0.716s

You see it is not a fast service, but seemingly ok.

What I do see is that the 'Abstracts' of the layers are very strange
formatted, looking like it is instead of a string some serialized java
(see below).

Mmm, requesting the service again, I see the file is just HUGE (56Mb)
and containing what looks like escaped html from some australian census
website...

So I think somebody has to fix that service first...
(I was creating an issue for it because QGIS should not fail on
capabilities I though, but this output is t strange (and 56Mb large)...

Re: [Qgis-user] Anybody to confirm this WFS problem?

[Jonathan Moules]

If I'm reading this thread properly I'd suggest this may be a regression 
in QGIS 3. There's a scenario (as explained by Richard) which was better 
handled with QGIS 2.


I'd suggest opening a bug report for it and including as much 
information as possible.

Re: [Qgis-user] WMS Layer Proxy Denied Connection

[Jonathan Moules]

This may be a networking issue with your proxy, or it may be QGIS not 
handling the proxy correctly, it's hard to tell from the info provided. 
It sounds like it's getting the GetCapabilities document just fine (the 
"connecting" part where it lists all the layers on the service) but then 
failing for a GetMap request.


Do you have a non-transparent institutional proxy and is your QGIS 
install configured to use it? Or is it a transparent proxy (no setup 
required in your software).


If you make a request directly via a web-browser to the service for a 
map tile, what happens?


Cheers,

Jonathan

Re: [Qgis-user] wfs problems

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Juerg,

I've looked into this and suspect the problem is actually with the 
configuration of the server.


This URL gets the GetCapabilities document and works:

https://map.geo.sz.ch/main/wsgi/mapserv_proxy?REQUEST=GetCapabilities=wfs

If you look in the document you'll see that it's declaring the following 
URL as being for GetCapabilities:




xlink:href="https://map.geo.sz.ch/main/mapserv?"/>
xlink:href="https://map.geo.sz.ch/main/mapserv?"/>




Note the lack of "_proxy". In fact, if you search the document the 
string "_proxy" doesn't appear anywhere. But if you try that declared 
URL, you get a 403 - Forbidden:

https://map.geo.sz.ch/main/mapserv?REQUEST=GetCapabilities=wfs

So I suspect (this is a guess) that QGIS 3 is trying to ("correctly") 
use the declared URLs for the services, whereas QGIS 2 was ignoring them 
and extrapolating them based on the base URL path. Which of these 
options is desirable is a tricky one - there are situations whether 
either work or don't.


Unfortunately the service doesn't declare any contact information to 
tell the server operator to fix it. But maybe you can find an email on 
their web-page.


Cheers,
Jonathan

I see that the URL in 'Error transferring' is different to the
connection URL. After /mapserv  the string _proxy is missing.
In the earlier 2.18 Version the wfs connection is ok without troubles.
Is there a bug in 3.2.2 with connections they have an _ in the last part
of the URL?
Has anbody a hint? Other connections wfs works fine. I have the
problems only with the URL above.

Re: [Qgis-user] Beginner pointers on how best to access specific web based GIS dataset

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Joe,

As Richard pointed out, these are ArcGIS REST services so they won't 
play well with QGIS (who needs to use open-standards when you're the 
de-facto standard?). Some ArcGIS boxes do support WMS/WFS but they're a 
pain to manually figure out the URL (I couldn't quickly do it from the 
one you linked to).


Your best bet is to use OGC services - WMS and WFS, etc. You can search 
almost a million such layers with GeoSeer; there seem to be 20 layers 
for Fulton, IL - https://www.geoseer.net/s.php?q=fulton+il - and 
thousands if you search for "Illinois".


Cheers,

Jonathan

So this appears to be an ArcGIS server, but I'm struggling to give 
QGIS the right parameters to access the GIS data from Fulton county.

Re: [Qgis-user] WFS created with geoserver not showing style in QGIS

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Reginald,

I believe there's a misunderstanding of WFS going on here.

WFS is a Feature service - it only serves up raw vector data, and it 
does so with no styling information. Styling is to be done at the 
client's (QGIS) end, in the same way you'd style a shapefile.


When you look at the data in GeoServer's OpenLayers client, you're 
looking at a WMS - the M stands for Map. It's a rendered map that's 
created by GeoServer using the SLD file you created and then sent to the 
client as an image. If you want to see that layer in QGIS, you'll need 
to load the layer as a WMS.


There's also WCS - C = Coverage. That's basically raw raster data. And 
there's WMTS - which is (simplified) a pre-rendered and cached WMS into 
tiles which are super-fast to serve (the MT in WMTS = Map Tile).


Hope that clears up your problem,

Cheers,

Jonathan

Hi,

In an earlier topic in this list there was a mentioning of SLD's being a
styling that is layer based in stead of feature based. In geoserver I
created a sld style for a layer that is inside my postgis database. The
layer contains information about projects concerning sewersystem, an
features are categorised accorcing to the value of some field. This style is
saved in the database. When I import my layer and style in geoserver it
shows a correct styling in the openlayers client. When I use the wfs url in
qgis 3.2 I get a notification that WFS version 1.2.0 is not supported. The
URL of the WFS mentions WFS version 1.0.0.
What is going on here?
I also tried to use the GMLAS plugin but this fails too:

Re: [Qgis-user] Weather WMS

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Finbar,

A very late reply but have you tried GeoSeer (https://www.geoseer.net)? 
It's a search-engine for over 1.6 million public OGC service layers.


Unfortunately there don't seem to be any relevant results for UK-focused 
weather layers ( https://www.geoseer.net/s.php?q=weather+uk ), but there 
are global ones if you search for just "weather" ( 
https://www.geoseer.net/s.php?q=weather ) such as the aviation METAR 
standard.

Re: [Qgis-user] Is there a way to create automated tests inside my own processing models?

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Carlos,

I think that's an excellent (implied) suggestion.

I know that FME has basically no frame-work for testing "workspaces" 
(FME's equivalent of QGIS' "models") which makes development somewhat 
hap-hazard. If QGIS had one, it would certainly be a leg-up over the 
industry leader in this area. Last time I used it ArcGIS didn't either, 
but that was quite a while ago.


To answer the question - I believe at present with QGIS (and ArcGIS 
too), you could export the model to Python and then do conventional 
unit-tests that way. But it's a clunky way of doing it.


To me at least this seems like it would be well suited to being added to 
QGIS. It's not "sexy", but it's definitely useful.


Cheers,

Jonathan

Dear all,

I am just starting with QGIS' processing to create some complex model

is a way to test my own model while launching it, so if the tests 
fail, I can get a notification and I will know that something went 
wrong before I realize too late and I have to lose any changes I made 
after executing the model with unexpected results.


*Example*:

I am doing several joins and spatial joins. I learnt the hard way that 
after triggering several times my model, every time I was joining 
layers, new fields were added with a |_1| appended to them in order 
not to overwrite the previously created fields by mistake when I 
repeated the model. It would be great to have some test that either 
checked all the layer's fields or counted its number and, if they 
weren't as expected, triggered an alarm/dialog box or created a log file.

[Qgis-user] QGIS server? - WMS/WFS capabilities doc

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi List,
  I came across this getCapabilities document:
http://osgis2.csi.it/qgs/gsareprot/monit_habitat_22?version=2.0.2=GetCapabilities=wfs

The URL suggests it's a QGIS Server. There are two significant problems 
with the response:


a) The service requested was WFS, but it has provided a WMS capabilities 
doc. If it can't serve WFS it should be responding with a ServiceException.


b) The version within the capabilities doc itself is claiming to be 
2.0.2, but of course WMS only goes to 1.3.0.  I suspect it's using the 
version parameter as passed in from the URL.


I don't have any experience with QGIS Server, so maybe someone on this 
list wants to confirm if these problems happen with a known, current 
QGIS server.

Jonathan

Re: [Qgis-user] Common Table Expression on windows with spatialite

[Jonathan Moules]

I've just tested QGIS 2.12.3 on Windows - it's still using SQLite 3.7.17.

Does anyone know if there is a reason the version of SQLite doesn't get updated 
often, at least not on Windows? That version of SQLite is well over 3 years old 
(https://www.sqlite.org/releaselog/3_7_17.html)

The current version is of SQLite is 3.14.1. A number of users appear to want to 
use features in more recent versions of SQLite, so it may be worth updating to 
a newer version (there are also a considerable number of optimisations and 
fixes).

  Ok,
 Not quite sure what you are looking for, but If I have your gist. 
 I have done some work on a OSM Dataset for Ireland, both styled in QGIS and in 
Geoserver.
 The dataset is stored as a PostGIS database and served on Geoserver. So I 
would have examples of how I replicated styling on both.
 
 I could provide a dump of the database, which also has the styling for QGIS 
saved as a table, and a copy of the SLD files for Geoserver.
 
 You may have some difficulty with the symbology though on the GeoServer Side, 
even though I used QGIS Symbols we have them served centrally so as they can be 
accessed by geoserver.
 The SLD's for GeoServer where created a while ago, and I was still learning so 
they may be a little messy. I also have little to no experience in 
programming
 
 I could also give examples of other issues I have come across, along with my 
solutions to these.
 
 As a topic of discussion though, the biggest issue at present is labels, QGIS 
SLD'd don't save labels, I found that to be the most tricky part of styling to 
date. Also the use of attributes in the styling, for example, having a text 
rotation and size attribute,  I have examples of this also, but wont be able to 
provide data, as its commercially sensitive and we don't own the dataset 
ourselves.
 
 I would welcome the opportunity to join the hackathon. Is there any further 
details on this, Date, Time virtual access portal? Im afraid, I would have to

 in this way you can help to target punctual problems if a general solution

Re: [Qgis-user] Backing up GIS Data

[Jonathan Moules]

On top of the excellent suggestions that have come out of this thread, it's 
worth stating that a backup is worthless if it is untested.

You should regularly test backups to ensure you can restore from them; this 
applies to all backups. There are plenty of horror stories out there from 
organisations/people that kept "backups" they never tested, and when they 
needed them they were corrupt or otherwise not what they should have been.
So be sure test your backups! :-)

Cheers,
Jonathan

  I haven't any extensive experience with moving databases from windows to

  I'm normally using the "Custom/binary" format, because it's the fastest 
method to do the backup/restore cycle.
 When I'm creating/ structuring a new spatial database, I always leave the 
"public" schema alone and put data in another schema created for that purpose.
 When doing a backup for the purpose of moving a database, I only backup the 
aforementioned *data* schema, *not* the "public" schema, thus avoiding taking 
backup of hundreds of PostGIS functions residing in schema "public". This makes 
it easier to move spatial data from one PostGIS-enabled database to another 
without annoying errors.
 And - just as you - I use the "plain" format when it's necessary to make some 
changes to the structure or fields  with a text editor during the move of the 
database.

   As an old GIS database dog -
  It's a wise and smart decision to use Postgres/PostGis for storing and using 
spatial data.
 
 As for backup: Do *exactly* as Jeff writes :-). "Point in time" backups are 
nice, but not the best backup solution for Postgres databases. Jeff's solution

 Hi Tyler, 
 
 This is a good question, and an important one, and don't feel bad about 
posting it here - likely we can all learn from this discussion, as it 
definitely involves the whole QGIS community. 
 
 I have quite a lot of experience backing up databases, especially 
PostgreSQL/PostGIS databases.  I can tell you that it is for sure important to 
run "pg_dump" as a daily backup (in addition to your whole server image/backup) 
- that pg_dump has saved me and my clients hundreds of times, and it is very 
portable and easy to access (as opposed to your whole image/machine backup).  
One very important point (that's I've learned from experience) when using 
pg_dump is to *always* use the custom binary/compressed output format (the 
"--format=c" commandline switch for pg_dump).  I've had   
 I have always used the default "plain" format for pg_dump backups. When time 
comes to migrate data to a new installation, it allows me to edit the SQL 
backup file: restore only some of the tables, change owners, schema names, even 
change the database name. This is just a minor convenience. Am I making a 
mistake? Should I move to the binary format to insure reliability?   
 
 Thanks
  terrible times with the other output format types, especially when restoring 
a database from a Windows server to a Linux server etc (with hardcoded paths 
inside the backup).  I live by that format, swear by it, from experience, 
moving so many client databases from one machine to another. 
 
 Another mailing list to keep in mind is the PostGIS mailing list, where these 
backup topics also pop up from time to time - and discussions are more 
geo-related, so are very helpful, than just the generic PostgreSQL mailing 
list. 
 
 So, definitely implement an additional backup process using pg_dump (you can 
experiment restoring it through the "pg_restore" command), you won't regret the 
effort spent. 
 
 Happy QGIS-ing,

2.14 is an LTR? On the QGIS home page under the big Download Now button it says:

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS project with no projection

[Jonathan Moules]

There have been some more knowledgeable responses than mine, but they do make 
me ask:
Why doesn't QGIS have a generic Coordinate System for X/Y in meters (and maybe 
one in feet for the less developed nations ;-) )? It would be particularly 
useful for non-geographical datasets and would open QGIS up to being used more 
readily in other fields.

Similarly, it could have generic projections for equal area and equal distance 
calculations too. I know these are all possible because FME has all these 
features.
After all, there's no reason spatial data has to be GEOspatial data.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Simon,

You *must* specify a projection, but within some limits, the projection doesn't 
matter. Basically, if the GeoTIFF uses units of meters and you want your 
distances in meters, you can load the GeoTIFF in *any* projected CRS that uses 
meters. An example would be to use any of the UTM zones. You cannot use a 
lat-long CRS such as the default WGS 84, because QGIS will convert (naively, 
*not* using great circle distances) from decimal degrees to meters.


Once the layer is loaded, all geometry calculations are done in a Cartesian 
plane.


I answered a similar question on GIS.SE regarding someone who wanted to use 
QGIS to map indoor location data.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try the QuickMapServices plugin, a quick test

I do remember always having problems with the OpenLayers plugin and was

that the QMS plugin doesn't have tags for things like OSM or openstreetmap 
which is why I didn't find it. It may be worth giving it more tags to make it 
more discoverable.

At least, I'm happy that there is now an alternative.

[Qgis-user] Exporting maps that have OpenLayers plugin layers - how?

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi all,
QGIS 2.8.3.
I have an extremely simple map I'm trying to export. It contains 
two layers - one with some polygons, the other the standard OpenStreetMap 
pulled in with the OpenLayers Plugin.

If I export it at 100DPI it works fine. Unfortunately if I try and export it at 
200DPI (or 300 which is desired), the entire print composer just goes white. 
This happens to both PDF and Image outputs.

There's no apparent network or CPU activity, nor does QGIS say something like 
exporting and QGIS hasn't hung. It's just turned the entire print computer 
screen white. I've tried a whole bunch of times and this consistently happens.

Does anyone know why or how to resolve it?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Re: [Qgis-user] Local Government for QGIS

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Chris
In my experience use of GIS is intermittent within Local Authorities (I worked 
at one until last year). Going completely FOSS is difficult because, at least 
for county councils and their metropolitan equivalents, every department has 
different needs, and there are often lots of legacy proprietary systems.
Off the top of my head there were three departments that had extensions to 
standard GIS/CAD that they were reliant on:

-   Rights of Way – Proprietary ArcGIS 9.x(!) addon

-   Archaeology - Proprietary MapInfo extension

-   Road Safety – Proprietary AutoCAD extension

There’s also the question – at what point does something start being a GIS? 
Many fields have their own special needs and only include GIS tangentially. For 
example all the below had some GIS-like feature in their bespoke, 
domain-specific software, but it was an after-thought rather than the main 
feature:


-   Highways – custom GIS (reliant on ArcSDE 9.x!)

-   Buses – Integrated GIS in specialist application

-   School admissions – Integrated GIS in specialist application

-   Forestry – Custom GIS/application (couldn’t handle multipart polygons)

-   Bridges – Some WMS integrated in a specialist application.

So in a reasonably sized county council, that’s at least 8 different GIS 
systems that are bespoke. I’d initiated a move towards QGIS before leaving 
(hopefully they’ve kept it up), but QGIS simply isn’t suited to most of those 
tasks.

Web-GIS is slightly different because while there are a few that have developed 
their own (http://maps.warwickshire.gov.uk is one, OpenLayers based front-end, 
GeoServer, but Oracle behind the scenes (it’s what we had), there are 
definitely others but I forget who), generally speaking for most authorities 
it’s cheaper/easier to go with a hosted or pre-developed solution. That said, 
quite a few are now based on Open Source. Astun certainly has it all the way 
down the stack (including PostGIS) for instance.

Short version: Going 100% OS GIS is difficult.

Cheers,
Jonathan

our ESRI infrastructure over to PostGIS / QGIS / OpenLayers over the next year. 
I’ve been impressed at how efficient FOSS is, and particularly for us where we

Do you think import of DXF is enough or do we also need DWG support? If so, the

Re: [Qgis-user] Opengeo (Geoserver) - QGIS 1:n relations

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Pedro,
Generally speaking GeoServer doesn't do 1:n relationships.
At the base level, any GeoServer layer represents just one database table.

There are 3 exceptions:
1) Where GeoServer has been pointed to a View (see Alex's reply)
2) Where you have a layergroup. As their name suggests these contain many 
layers grouped together to appear as one.
3) If you're using an SQLView - 
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/database/sqlview.html

I've not used the OpenGeo plugin so don't know what it's doing when it does the 
1:n relationship business.

I'm using Opengeo plugin in QGIS top publish at Geoserver.
Have a problem that I don't know how to handle it.

At QGIS Project Properties established a relationship between two postgis 
tables (1:n).
So when  when I open an object editor got the information from the two tables. 
(just 1 table have a geometry column).

By submitting the project to the Geoserver (with OpenGeo plugin) it takes the 
individual layers, i.e.,  it lose the relationship between the tables.

Are you aware if there is a way to keep this 1:n relationship in Geoserver?

Re: [Qgis-user] Variables for colour values

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi,
Yes, it is.
You want the Data defined properties button, which you'll see when you click 
on a style (in 2.6.1, it's at the bottom of the list of style options.

The variables need to be of a specific datatype/structure for each item you 
want to style. So Pen Width requires a double. Colour is more complex, 
requiring a RGBA string. The dialog shows what's necessary.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Subject: [Qgis-user] Variables for colour values

I wonder if it’s possible to use variables for colour values, line widths etc? 
I have rule-based styling with lots of rules, and I want to change the colour 
value in one place and not in every rule that uses the same symbol. I’ve been 
using variables a lot in CartoCSS styling, but I really miss them in QGIS. 
Since I can define project colours with names in QGIS, i thought it may be 
possible somehow.
I’m on QGIS 2.8 for OS X.

Re: [Qgis-user] pixel counts

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Aaron,
Well, the bad news is that this is on the trickier end of the GIS spectrum.

It depends on the exact nature of the conversion you want to perform when 
changing to polygon.

http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/23203/how-to-calculate-raster-statistics-for-polygons

http://www.qgistutorials.com/en/docs/sampling_raster_data.html

Should hopefully get you started though.

Subject: [Qgis-user] pixel counts

Hi all,

I am brand new to QGIS and have pretty minimal GIS experience, so I apologize 
for my crude terminology. I was recently handed a large number of ARCInfo files 
(adf) containing information on species abundance at 30 m2 resolution. Each 
file (well...group of files since they are adf files) describes the abundance 
of a single species. I would like to analyze single species density within a 
custom-defined polygon. Species abundance within a 30 m2 is defined by color 
intensity (black = 0 abundance, white = max abundance).

I have figured out how to view single adf files as raster layers in QGIS. From 
there, it seems like I should be able to generate a polygon and tell the 
program to analyze pixel count for each level of color intensity.

I haven't had much GIS training, but I would really like to conduct an 
experiment that needs this data. Could someone please point me in the right 
direction?

Thank you for your time,
Aaron

Subject: [Qgis-user] Show background processes

Is there a way to show the background processes that are causing QGIS to take 
10 to 20 minutes to refresh a map view?

I recently moved some layers to a local network drive that is very fast 
otherwise and the file has become unusable.  I get (Not Responding), Windows 
circle of death and the back and forth status indicator on the QGIS Status Bar 
for a very long time.

I can't pan, select, zoom or do really anything without causing a 10 or 20 
minute delay while QGIS refreshes the view.

This project had many other layers that were on this same drive before the 
issue started.  So I am fairly confident it is not the drive.

Is there a list of GIS file types that do not perform well on networked drives?

The file types this project has:

  1.  geojson (some layers previously on the same network drive with no 
previous issue.)
  2.  shape (about half of the layers previously on the same network drive with 
no previous issue.)
  3.  sqlite (about half of the layers previously on the same network drive 
with no previous issue.)
  4.  gpkg (some layers previously on the same network drive with no previous 
issue.)
  5.  various raster layers (most previously on the same network drive with no 
previous issue.)

I would really prefer not to have to delete everything and start form scratch 
building the project up one layer at a time in order to identify which layers 
are causing the hang.

thanks

Clay

As an author of some scripts, I think this feature is a great opportunities to

Especially as it’s a subitem under something that says “0 geoalgorithms”; that 
implies there’s nothing under there (it’s non-obvious that these are different 
things).

I’d suggest that a dedicated button for that functionality be added to the 
interface somewhere, probably under the “processing toolbox”.

the map viewer and print composer, but wasn't unreasonable.
However... At that resolution, I haven't been able to export the map from the

there a known limitation I'm missing on this front? (The map in the Composer

I'm running QGIS 2.6 64bit on Windows 7. And for what it's worth, the system 
resources aren't at their limits at all during this either.

 for change analysis later, but it’s great for visualization.
 The GRASS Raster tool r.composite will also stack, but the SAGA tool

Concatenation), I get this error:

unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str' See log for more details

Can anyone advise? Is this a bug?

Are there other tools for this within QGIS?

I think as long as the view is registered in the `USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA` table 
then you should be able to add them in QGIS.

Think at the Add Oracle Table(s) dialog you just have to select a geometry 
Type and a Primary key column using the drop downs.

Let me know how you get on.

[Qgis-user] Multiple QGIS installs (Windows)

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi list,
I was wondering, is it possible to have multiple installs of QGIS at the same 
time on a Windows box?
I.e.:
2.2
2.4
2.6 (in a month)?

Or can you only have one? And does the answer vary depending on whether you're 
using the OSGeo installer or the standalone one?

Cheers,
Jonathan

Re: [Qgis-user] Generating GeoTIFF overview (gdaladdo -r gauss ...) takes days for 2GB file...

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Stefan,
How large is the image? As in, pixel width  height.

Also the GDALinfo would be helpful.

7 days is a very long time. I've seen times like that myself for images that 
were 100,000*50,000 or similar dimensions where there was (still is?) an issue 
with the pyramiding function in GDAL (it was re-reading the data again and 
again).

Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi,

I have a GeoTIFF file of 2GB size. Now, this question is about gdaladdo and how 
to optimize loading time of such a large raster file.

According to my observations QGIS has fastest loading times when it's a single 
GeoTIFF file with overview images.

Q.1: Does anybody have tipps for even faster solutions loading raster files 
into in QGIS (prepared by OGR or other preprocessors)?

The command gdaladdo -r gauss C:\SG.tif  2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256
takes actually about 7 days on a Lenovo notebook.

Q2.: Any hint's on how to accelerate this (or to other tools generating 
overviews/pyramids)?

Yours, S.

Re: [Qgis-user] Simple Georeference a .png chart

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Alex,
  It may just be me being slow, but it's not entirely clear what you're trying 
to accomplish here. As best I can tell the two images are at very very 
different scales. Are you trying to georeference the Newark close-up onto the 
Newark-area map?

I believe using a transformation Type of Polynomial 1 should minimise the types 
of warping that's happening (assuming you don't want any to happen).

Maybe the points you're trying to reference on the map aren't actually correct?
More information about what you're trying to accomplish may help someone offer 
a suggestion/solution.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Subject: [Qgis-user] Simple Georeference a .png chart

Hi All!

I am new to the GIS topic and also new to QGIS. My problems seemed to be very 
easy, but with my last try I was then running completely wrong and I hope you 
can help me since I thought I have done everything correctly.

I have added 2 pictures as example (KEWR_AFC.png, KEWR_AGC.png)(originally its 
a .tiff, but does not matter for this test). On the KEWR_AGC I have drawn the 
grid lines to make it easier to set some coordinates. Be aware that I made an 
error on the right side and one gridline is wrong. But for this example and the 
test it should not matter if its known. Also there is a Reference point in the 
middle of the chart as confirmation that everything is ok after georeferencing.

On the KEWR_AFC there are a lot of Points already defined with coordinates 
which can be used to georeference the .png.

I have now tried everything but the result was tilted and shifted in such a 
way, that it was unreadable or completely unusable because the coordinates have 
been wrong. Is it because of the variation? Or wrong KGS? I had - depending on 
the choses options - red lines indicating the tilt/shift with extremely 
movements...

So can anybody help me how I have to georeference (especially the AGC), that it 
is correct?

Thanks a lot already for help in advance!

Re: [Qgis-user] Crowdfunding Project: Automated tests for QGIS

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Matthias,
It’s good to see that some initiative is being taken on this, but if this goes 
ahead, is there a requirement from the PSC that devs actually do fix things 
that cause the tests to fail or not have their commit accepted? Because 
otherwise I can see this devolving into the situation that currently exists 
(devs don’t bother with unit tests).

Further thought – if this goes ahead it may be worth building on it and 
requiring that unit tests be created for all new functionality as part of 
acceptance of that functionality. Are there such plans? (that’s more something 
for the dev list anyway).

Certainly a good start though!
Cheers,
Jonathan

Subject: [Qgis-user] Crowdfunding Project: Automated tests for QGIS

Dear QGIS users,

I started a crowd-funding campaign for automated unit tests in QGIS. Please 
consider to help funding this project in order to improve the software and code 
quality in the long run. More details can be found on the project page and in 
the text below.

http://blog.vitu.ch/10102014-1046/crowdfunding-initiative-automated-testing

I plan to improve the quality of QGIS sustainably by introducing the automatic 
execution of test procedures which will inform responsible developers 
automatically in case of failure. Your support for this project is highly 
welcome and you can contribute to make QGIS more stable in the long run. To 
implement the necessary changes as well as repairing currently broken tests a 
minimal amount of CHF 5000.- will be required. The following paragraphs will 
describe the project in more detail.

--

In the last years, QGIS matured from a hobby project to a serious alternative 
with a broad scope of possibilities and a great potential.

With the constant addition of new features new possibilities have been created 
and still are created. Every new feature means changes to the source code of 
the software and is a potential source of errors.

There are possibilities to automatically detect errors. This is done by 
executing a series of operations with known result. If a operation does not 
return the desired (known) result something went wrong and it needs to be 
evaulated why.

QGIS has currently over 100 different tests. However, these are not run 
regularly and nobody realizes when tests fail. This led to the situation, that 
at the moment approximately 2/3 of the tests do not report success and nobody 
knows why and since when.

I intend to take the following measures to ensure that in the future tests no 
longer can silently fail:

* tests will be run on all source code changes in master (main development 
branch)

* tests will be run on all pull requests (changes being evaluated for 
integration in master)

* if tests fail the responsible developers will be notified by mail

* with symbols, the current state of the tests will be indicated


With this system it is possible to react instantaneously when tests fail and to 
revert the responsible changes or to not even integrate these.


To make sure that this system works and is accepted, it is important to start 
with a working suite of tests. How much time it takes to fix all tests is 
difficult to say. The plan is therefore to fix as many tests with the available 
funds and to disable the rest of the tests in the first time. Therefore 
additional funds that are provided on top of the required minimum CHF 5000.- 
will be very welcome for additional working tests.


It would be great if this crowd-funding effort could help to get this project 
to fly.


Kind regards,
Matthias Kuhn

[Qgis-user] QGIS and Oracle Views

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi List,
I'm trying to get QGIS to connect to an Oracle View but as best I can tell QGIS 
is requiring a Primary key. The problem is that I don't believe Oracle formally 
supports these for views, only base tables or materialised views, and creating 
one isn't necessarily that easy.

Is it possible for QGIS to use Views without this restriction?

Thanks,
Jonathan

[Qgis-user] Centroid of polygon

Hi list,
Quick question, how do you use the Field Calculator to get the centroid as
an attribute? I'm aware of this question answer:
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/11705/using-field-calculator-in-qgis-to-update-columns-with-centroid-coordinates
- but want to do it using just the field calculator.

I see under Geometry that there's a centroid function, but can't figure
out how to use it for this purpose.

Suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
Jonathan

[Qgis-user] Making border lines disappear

Using the standard Simple Fill.


Border style: No Pen:
[image: Inline images 1]

Border Style: Solid Line; Border: Dark green (second across from the Black)
(fill: Same dark green):

If you look closely you'll see white lines.

Anyone else seeing this? It was brought up by one of our more observant

Re: [Qgis-user] Stress about release plans

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Otto,
You make some excellent points. Just to follow on one of them:

But usually customers and developers don't think about also spending
an additional
 little amount to document the feature in the QGIS docs and training
 material.


I think that's a QGIS problem. I know when I get quotes for GeoServer
stuff, or for our JavaScript library we use, the quote includes time spent
updating the documentation.

The solution is very simple: Require up to date, accurate documentation for
all commits of new features. This is one for the PSC.
After all, what's the point in having tons of features if no-one knows how
to use them or what they do?
Will it slow down new feature feature commit? Probably, but I figure that's
a small price to pay for actually having documentation. And from that
documentation, universal training materials can be developed much more
easily.

Cheers,
Jonathan

On 22 July 2014 10:10, Otto Dassau das...@gbd-consult.de wrote:

 Hi,

 I would prefere another solution instead of changing the releases. The
 documentation team is in the same situation. We are always behind the
 releases, but the problem I see is that there are not enough people working
 on the documents. At the moment we were not even able to start updating the
 manual for 2.4 yet :(.

 From my experience, we get many new features for every release because
 developers work together on the master source.

 For some reason trainers prefere starting from scratch working on her/his
 own documents and training material, which is ok, of course but leads into
 the situation Lene discribed.

 Here are two ideas that come to my mind:

 a) Trainers could combine their forces and prepair general training
 materials
 together that everybody can use and extend. All tools and the document
 basis
 is available and provided by QGIS project in the documentation repository.
 I
 know there are many people conducting trainings on QGIS, if they all work
 together as developers already do, we would probably be in a much better
 situation.

 b) An idea that already works for the development of QGIS features is
 paying
 some amount or percantage of each development for good documentation and
 training material. Many new features in QGIS are payed by customers. But
 usually customers and developers don't think about also spending an
 additional little amount to document the feature in the QGIS docs and
 training material. I don't know why, but that's reality.

 So for me, the problem is not just about changing the releases cycles. It
 is
 more about bringing documenters and trainers closer to the project again to
 combine their forces. And to make customers/users/developers aware, that
 documentation and training material is an important part of the software
 and
 should not be forgotten and maybe automatically added to an offer, if new
 (payed) features are added.

 Otto

  that there are only 94 days until next version of QGIS. Because in
  November I start over again with a 8 week course and in February a 3 week
  course, in may a 3 week course. All in all we have more than 140 students
  learning QGIS every year - and they are impressed of this program!!!
 
 
 
  I love getting new features in the program, but fear the work to run
  through every assignment, every video and being a bit unsure how the
  program works in the latest version on the different platforms.
 
  Small changes which I haven´t noticed and therefore unaware of. So a new
  version so soon gives me a lot of stress and so many hours of work -
   hours which could be used to ex. testing.
 
 
 
  When I ask users to download the program they take the official latest
  version - sometimes with bugs included... It gives an impression of an
  unprofessional product (not my words), it gives me- and others hard times
  to fix or explain. I´ve been talking to other users/administrators who
 has
  the same experience.
 
  What if we had :
 
  ·A long term stable version for ex. 12 months with bugfix only
 
  ·A developer version for 4 months with new features and bugfixes
  = Stable version with short bugfix-period = New developer
 
 
 
  I do know it will give the developers more work - I do know it will cost
  more money - But I´m sure a lot of administrators will recommend,  use
 and
  support if we get a more stable environment.
 
  So please - consider another release plan in the future.

 Hi All,

 I was trying to access some GRASS 7 functions through the Processing

Re: [Qgis-user] Simplified interface - toolbox

Hi List,
Further to this, has a new build of QGIS been created? I note the version

 The issue is actually a packaging issue. There was a problem in the

  The problem should be fixed now, and I guess that we will release a new
 version in the following days, which will include this fix and the new

 You can manually fix it by adding the missing file in the gui folder under
 the processing folder. In a OSGEO4W installation, that would
 be C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\qgis\python\plugins\processing\gui

 The file can be found here:

Re: [Qgis-user] Donations, bugfix, release

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Paolo,
A minor but important quibble at an easy oversight.

with over 83% of all reported bugs now fixed, and 60% of feature requests
 fulfilled.


I believe that's 83% of reported bugs *closed*. and 60% of feature tickets
*closed*. This is not the same thing as fixed/fulfilled.

Unfortunately not all closed tickets have a Resolution. Of the 5518
closed bugs, only 1894 have a Resolution specified. Of those the breakdown
is:

 fixed - 243
 invalid - 568
 wont fix - 156
 duplicate - 479
 worksforme - 419
 up/downstream - 29


Extrapolating the Fixed up to account for the missing resolutions, that's
~707. Assuming 50% of the remaining 1097 bugs are actual bugs (seems
reasonable given the recent cleanup of the tracker), that gives us ~550
current bugs, and thus a fix rate of about 56%. (not that my maths is
usually correct).

But I agree, it's good to see tickets getting fixed and the tracker being
cleaned up!
So thanks to everyone who's participated in all this work towards 2.4.

Cheers,
Jonathan

 Hi all.

 I wish to thank all the donors and sponsors, as their support allowed us

 This has proved a huge success:

 * the most serious bugs (called blockers) are almost gone (down from about
 70 open
 before and during the bugfixing period)
 * the total number of tickets is the lowest since a very long time, in
 spite of the
 much higher number of functions available, with over 83% of all reported

 fixed, and 60% of feature requests fulfilled.

 This will allow us to publish a far better version than it would have been

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS-Merge or creat virtual raster files without losing definition?

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Mick,
  QGIS is using a tool called GDALMerge to do the merging.

An alternative is to do it yourself in GDAL at the command line. It's
fairly simple.
Use the OSGeo4W Shell link that comes with QGIS.

Navigate to the directory that has the tif files in.
To merge all your tiffs together into a basic VRT you only need two lines:

*dir /b /s C:\my data\lots of tiffs\*.tif  **C:\my data\lots of tiffs*
*\tiff_list.txt*

That line (assuming it's windows; there's a Linux equivalent) basically
creates a list of all the tif files.
Then:

*gdalbuildvrt -input_file_list C:\my data\lots of
tiffs\tiff_list.txt C:\my data\lots of tiffs\my_merged_data.vrt*

That line turns it into a VRT file.

Cheers,
Jonathan

 I am trying to merge several tiff files as either a virtual raster or a

 definition (even just a couple of the files).

 I have tried to set the options to no compression (merge rasters), and
 resolution set at highest for creating virtual raster, but street names and
 place names still become too  pixillated to read properly.

 This does not happen if I load all the files I wish to merge individually,
 but obviously I would rather work with the merged or virtual files.

 I am using QGIS 2.2.0 on a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Mac, OSX 10.9.3.

 Would appreciate some help, please.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS: Reduction of resolution via pyramids only for defined scale range

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Julian,
  You can specify at what levels pyramids are created. That's what the
resolutions box on the right does. The problem is, knowing which levels
you want.

So if your data is a 4000x4000 tiff then it'll offer to create pyramids at:

 2000*2000
 1000*1000
 500*500
 250*250
 125*125
 63*63


I'm going to guess at the answer to your question - I believe what you need
to do is the following:

- Find out what the scale is for Zoom to best scale (100%) for the
raster. For my raster it's 1:9,449 (yours will be obviously be different).
- So the 2000x2000 pyramid will have a scale of 1:18898 (i.e. double 9449).
So you wouldn't want that level. In this scenario you may want 1000*1000 -
which would be for a scale of 1: 37796 (double 1:18898).

So with some simple maths you can figure out which pyramid levels you want.
I suppose it would be a good feature for QGIS to show scales rather than
tile sizes in the resolutions box. I'll go open a feature suggestion for
that one.

Cheers,
Jonathan

 Hello members of the mailing list,



 I would appreciate help on the following problem:

 I would like to improve the performance of a raster layer. Of course I can
 build pyramids for that purpose. But in the scale ranges from 1:1 to
 1:25.000 I need maximum resolution and detail. In this scale range, the
 performance is sufficient even without pyramids.

 Ideal would be that the pyramids respectively the reduction of the
 resolution with improvement of performance is only applied to scales
 smaller than 1:25,000. Is this possible in QGIS?



 Thanks for helpful answers!

Re: [Qgis-user] HELP with tables imported from MySQL DB

Hi Walter,
  MySQL has very weak Spatial capabilities. And the comment on the answer
of this question -
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14139462/mysql-connection-in-qgis -
suggests that support within QGIS diminished in 2.0.

It may be worth converting your data to a different format. If you want a
database, either PostGIS or SpatiaLite would be good picks with excellent
spatial capabilities, both well supported by QGIS too.

I don't know if anything has changed, but when I enabled it in 1.8 I think
it was it would lock up QGIS entirely. Incredibly unstable.
http://hub.qgis.org/issues/9818 - implies it is still unstable depending on
the platform.

Cheers,
Jonathan

 Dear all,

 Does anyone in the list experience with globe plugin? It looks like there
 is no much documentation about this.

 I would like to make anaglyphic pictures with Globe. I've tried that
 before and I know that it works, but I would like to know if it is possible
 to make sort of 3d-flights with it. Due some computer pc problems, I'm not
 able to run Globe nowadays and I would like to know if this kind of work
 could be done before updating my system.

 Any information would be much appreciated

 Best regards

 Jorge Tornero

[Qgis-user] OpenStreetMap in QGIS

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi List,
So, I know that QGIS is supposed to integrate nicely with OSM, however I'm
trying to use the OpenLayers Plugin 1.1.2 but it seems prone to crashing
QGIS (2.3 - nightly snapshot) and never actually loads any of the mapping.

So how do I get OSM as a baselayer in QGIS? Or is this the proper way but
I'm just unlucky?

Cheers,
Jonathan

 General curiosity question.

 When using Save Vector Layer as to save a vector layer, there's an

 This in turn has three options:

 No Symbology

 Feature symbology

 Symbol layer symbology



 What does this do? I've tried exporting to both KML and TAB files using

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Andreas,
I'm testing with a simple polygon that's using the default style QGIS gave
it (so basically black border and a random fill colour).
I've exported using both options - all I get in the KML file is a black
border, no fill.
I can change the colour of the border in QGIS and it changes in the KML
file. So I guess that's a very partial implementation.

*However* - If I set it to no symbology I still get the coloured
boundary. So changing the value appears to do absolutely nothing which is I
guess what I saw when I first tested it (a while back). Hence my wondering
what it actually did.

Can you confirm this behaviour? It seems superfluous to have an option that
is ignored.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for further testing. I figured if something as simple as a fill
wasn't implemented then catogorisation probably wouldn't be.

A further thought - not all vector formats support styling (shapefile being
the most notable exception). Should it remain a general option or be moved
to Datasource Options for any supported style?
I lean towards the later option myself.

Cheers,

Jonathan




On 10 March 2014 16:04, Andreas Neumann a.neum...@carto.net wrote:

 Hi Jonathan,

 I can only partially confirm what you describe.

 I agree that for area feature the feature styling does not work for KML.
 However, for line features, it works fine and there is a difference
 between the three options. The no symbology only exports a single line
 color, the feature symbology correctly exports the colors assigned to
 the categories and the symbol layer symbology exports line features
 multiple times in case of multiple levels in the line symbology.

 So I'd rather improve this than remove it. If someone could work on the
 area feature styling it would be great. Or maybe hook up with the OGR
 project if things don't work as expected.

[Qgis-user] Missing SVG's - now represented by a ? - ?

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi List,
I have a QML file I created some time ago. When I open it in QGIS now it
can't find the SVG files - that's fine, it's because they're not there.

My problem is that rather than not rendering the icons, what QGIS now
appears to be doing is instead rendering little ? icons. I can't figure
out how this is desirable (well, unless you're the Riddler I guess).

Previously in this circumstance QGIS simply didn't render the missing
SVG's, which was fine. But now I have a very unprofessional looking map
style.

I am aware I can update my QML to remove the SVG's, however it's quite
large and I'd rather not have to.

So my question for the list - am I the only person who preferred the old
behaviour?

Cheers,
Jonathan

Re: [Qgis-user] Selecting rasters with vector layer

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Asher,
GeoTIFFs can be compressed considerably but they still end up a bit larger
than ECW's.
For example we have aerial photography:
ECW: 22.7GB
JP2: 26.4GB
GeoTIFF: 31.2GB

So the GeoTIFF (actually an image pyramid) is about 50% larger, but is also
better quality and faster loading.

Cheers,
Jonathan

 Thank you Eric,

 I had to chose FME to save the ECW. My third party software supports other

 Hi Asher,

 Sorry, I didn't read the full GDAL page regarding ECW support
 (http://www.gdal.org/frmt_ecw.html). ECW is a proprietary format owned
 by intergraph. GDAL allows reading and writing of ECW files, but in
 order to write ECW files you have to have a licensing key from
 Intergraph. On Linux, when configuring the the ECW plugin it asks for
 the key, and if the user doesn't have one it is configuring in
 read-only mode. I'm assuming you used the OSGeo4Win installer, which I
 think configures the ECW support as read only by default. If you do
 have a key, I'm not sure how you would go about setting up GDAL ECW
 support to recognize it.

 From the gdal ECW page:
 The ECW 4.x SDK from ERDAS is only free for image decompression. To
 compress images it is necessary to build with the read/write SDK and
 to provide an OEM licensing key at runtime which may be purchased from
 ERDAS.


 Does the third party software you have to use not support any other
 formats?

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS process usage - benchmark

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Alen,
Can't you use the Python libraries to get that information?
For example for time there's:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/timeit.html or you can roll your own
fairly easily.

Or perhaps: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/benchmark/0.1.5 (not used it
myself).

I think using Python would be the best option.

Jonathan

 Hi,

 I am Alen, a student of Geodesy in the University of Ljubljana.

 In my diploma I am dealing with running geospatial Python scripts in QGIS
 and in the final
 part of it I would love to compare (qualitative and quantitative) the
 running of those scripts in the Linux and the Windows QGIS versions (same
 computer with the latest Linux distribution of the used version and latest
 Win OS,  latest updates, same QGIS version and without modifications).

 I would need a recommendation for a tool/method, for both platforms, which
 can evaluate the speed of a process, the amount of RAM being used and other
 data that are related with performance (QGIS/OS benchmark) so I can compare
 them.

 I would also like to hear from you which Linux OS do you recommend for
 this testing.
 I planned to use Debian Wheezy. Which Linux distribution do you recommend
 to perform my study?
 My goal is to use one, that will give the best results in performance
 (know it's difficult to tell, also experience answers are appreciated),
 cause one of my diploma goals is also to promote the using of Linux on my
 university for geodetic engineering purposes and I would like to show it in
 the best light possible.

 Thanks,

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS 2.2 - Remove layer dialog

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi,


 I didn't want to throw away all that was done, I'm sorry if it sounded
 like that. I reopened the ticket because a few people (including me)
 disagreed with the change, and did not take part in the initial discussion.


Like Etienne, I completely missed the original discussion, and similarly
quite strongly about it.



 I understand too many options are not a good thing, on the other hand
 choice is good when it's not too confusing and easy to implement.


I agree there can be too many options, but also too few. This seems like
something that warrants a config option; consider - the recycle bin in
Windows has similar options - confirm to delete etc.


Jürgen:

 But IMHO that rather small issue got much more attention (and did and
 still does cause much more distraction) than it deserves.

I think that's probably because it's something people feel very strongly
about. I believe that's a clear indicator that an option is probably be
warranted otherwise this issue will keep coming up.

Also, no-one has commented on the fact that delete and Backspace don't seem
to work for me in 2.2. Do they work for others?

Just my thupence. :-)
Cheers,
Jonathan

 Hi Etienne,

 I'm fine with the solution of Jef: make it an option (now that it is
 done).

 But in general: I do not like the fact that we had, I think, a
 discussion of about 2 weeks with several people, which is thrown out of
 the window because one reopens an issue and makes some noise. Apparently
 the time we/I put into this discussion was not worth my time.

 Besides this: I do not think having an option for everything is the best
 option ;-)

 Better to have a sensible default, have a discussion/voting and then
 deal with that. An extra setting I see as a bad compromise here. The
 Settings dialogs are getting more and more crowded with options I do
 really not know anymore for which minimal detail it is giving me options
 for.

 Please let us create some (ui/hud) vision and hold on to that, so we are
 not driving on user comments only.

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the explanation. My take-home from trying to read the thread was
that they had been implemented; apparently they haven't (for the reasons
you clearly explained).

So a reading comprehension issue on my part. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks for the clarification.

 Hi Jonathan,

 Delete and backspace is not so easy to implement on the layer tree I
 assume. We are dealing with multiple platforms, not only Windows. On
 Linux, for example there is a notion of focus that behaves different
 from Windows - a delete key when the mouse cursor is above the map area
 can mean something different as a delete key above the layer tree.
 People may accidentally hit the delete key while the mouse cursor is
 above some other panel/area.

 Removing something as important as a layer or group, where potentially a
 lot of work goes into configuring it, shouldn't just be deleted by
 hitting the delete, while perhaps accidentally the mouse cursor is above
 the layer tree.

 Then there are mac users where there is no delete key on the keyboard
 and it has to be emulated by shift-backspace.

 It is not so easy to handle all theses platforms equally well.
