Re: [Qgis-user] Coordinates in map units are different between ArcInfo and Qgis

2017-03-09 Thread Mark Seibel
Expect nothing but surprises and bewilderment when working with that
monopolized GIS company. =D

You can work in WGS84, or GRS80. Just some other geographic coordinate
system that doesnt use stereographic.

http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/

IF you have a local state plane or UTM, that could work for projected
systems

I would project them it to another coordinate system with ARC.

Can you project them to a geographic coordinate system like EPSG: 4326
(WGS84), or projected coordinate system?

Re: [Qgis-user] Coordinates in map units are different between ArcInfo and Qgis

2017-03-07 Thread Mark Seibel
If you fire up ArcEdit what are the coordinates at some comparable location
in QGIS? (as opposed to the coordinates usage in AML)

Or if you view the A/I coverage in another software like ArcView
3.x/ArcMap, are the coordinates the same in QGIS?

Maybe try converting your coverage to a shapefile, and see if there is a
difference?

Another option is to set no coordinate system, or disable 'project on the
fly', and see what the coordinates are for the data.

Just some suggestions, I really cant explain why there difference. AFAIK,
A/I coverages shouldnt matter, but they are rather archaic.

[Qgis-user] Build QGIS with GRASS - Mint 18/xenial

2016-10-19 Thread Mark Seibel
Hi all.

I have tried several ways to get QGIS with GRASS browser working. I had it
working at one point on Linux Mint 17/Trusty, but always with mixed results
(I could never get it working from the repos, but sometimes it would work
compiling from source). I did a fresh install of linux Mint 18, and I am
coming up with these results.

Repos:
Tried ubuntugis-unstable repo. Installed all qgis/grass related packages -
cant browse GRASS locations

Added repo from qgis.org for 2.16 debian builds. Installed all qgis/grass
related packages - cant browse GRASS locations

Source: (followed this page https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL
)
Compiled from source, and installed in home directory - cant browse GRASS
locations. I could see it linking the grass libraries during compilation
and it seems it built ok, but I dont know how to check and make sure.

Built .deb packages from source and installed (using above web link) - with
this one the GRASS browser plugin was working, but any attempt to load
other plugins resulted in an error (cant load module xyz). Building the
.deb packages had errors, but not sure how to address them.

Interestingly, when I compile from source, then go into the /output/bin
directory and run qgis from there, it launches and the GRASS browser works.
(?)

Since grass 7, I've always had hit and miss results with QGIS and the GRASS
browser. This is one feature I really enjoy and find great value in getting
QGIS and GRASS to work together.

Any suggestions on what I can do to see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Mark

Re: [Qgis-user] Interpolation with breaklines

2015-11-20 Thread Mark Seibel
Hi.


1. Is this the only FOSSGIS option we have, if breaklines should be
considerered during interpolation? Or are there alternatives?



How about ungenerating the breaklines to points (can interpolate points
along a line during line to point), then using those points with the mass
points to build DEM?

[Qgis-user] QGIS / GRASS compatibility

2015-10-26 Thread Mark Seibel
I've been following this for a while, and see on the crowdfunding page QGIS
is reading GRASS layers successfully, but I cant get my QGIS to browse
GRASS vector or raster data (or add it).

I have QGIS 2.12 and GRASS 7.1.

I have purged all qgis* and reinstalled with qgis-provider-grass and
qgis-plugin-grass.

When I browse GRASS locations in QGIS browser, I dont see the directories
converted to GRASS icons like in the demo (
http://www.gissula.eu/qgis-grass-plugin-crowdfunding/progress.html).

I realize there is no plugin to add layers like historically, but using the
browser QGIS doesnt seem to recognize the GRASS location/mapset or layers.
I am sure I am missing something simple?

Here is a startup error I get in the plugin console. I have attempted to
resolve, but I dont understand what the issue is, other than the obvious:
it's looking for libraries that are not on my system.

2015-10-26T16:37:38 1 Failed to load

 Is there a GRASS function in QGIS for r.patch?  It uses both datasets, and
uses one to fill the NULL values of another.  Would probably have to make
sure the computational region is set to accommodate the extent of merging
both DEMs (maybe not necessary if r.patch doesnt regard region settings).

[Qgis-user] qgis 1.5 mrsid

I have qgis 1.5 and gdal1.7.0.  I'm using ubuntugis-unstable repo and
