[Qgis-user] Tips on buying a new laptop
Heya, So I've decided to register for a GIS Module, along with other modules as part of a Bsc Hons Geography Degree. The good news is that this is an opportunity to get a new laptop, a fresh start :) The not-so-good news is that the GIS course is based on IDRISI (well, I have never used IDRISI, and I am really liking QGIS at the moment). So, I wanna get a feel on what laptop hardware are people running for GIS: - SSD vs HDD - RAM type and speed - Video/Graphics - Main Screen (15'', 17'', etc) - Secondary Screen (20'', 22'', 24'', etc) - Glossy vs Matte Screens - Screen Resolutions - Motherboard - Processor - Peripherals and Ports - Battery packs and, finally: - OS or OSes - 32bit vs 64bit Besides GIS, this new laptop will do all the normal home tasks incl movie playback. No games (well, maybe Angry Birds, Mario Brothers and Classic Arcades). I am not too perturbed about brands as, over the years, I have switched between Lenovo, ACER, Samsung, HP and Apple. Lenovo topped the charts for me. Dell would make an interesting case study :) Many thanks, Percy ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Re: [Qgis-user] KML to GoogleEarth
Well said Matt. My understanding is CRS could use a lot of improvement. Cheers! On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 12:16 PM, Matt Boyd mattsli...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Walter, I'm not sure what your understanding of qgis is but it deals with pretty much every projection you can throw at it and the project projection/CRS shouldn't really cause any issues if all the projections are set correctly and the translations are working. Project CRS: the projection you'll see displayed on the map on the screen. Layer/item CRS: with on the fly reprojection enabled you can load a file with pretty much any projection and QGIS will reproject the data as required, it won't change the projection of the file you've loaded the and if you want to reproject it permanently you'll need to go the save as route and tell it what projection you want it to save the new file in. When you create a new vector layer you have the option to create it in the project or any other CRS. eg: You're able to load a file with CRS A into a project with CRS B then load another file with CRS C and save the file that's CRS A as CRS D. The disadvantage to the flexibility of all of this is that occasionally QGIS won't find the CRS or the projection file or you'll get confused as to which CRS the file/layer your working in. The point to what I'm saying is that you shouldn't need to create a new project or worry too much about the default CRS if what you want to do is reproject the vector files so they're compatible with GE. You do need to know what the CRS of the in and out files are though. If you're able to send me through a small file as an example to show what you want to do I can have a look.

So, since QGIS can't do the xlation for me on export (i.e. Layer - save as KML, with WGS84 set for CRS), i guess i will have to go back to sources and reload all my data into new layers with the CRS reset to WGS84.

[Qgis-user] QGIS 1.7 (Print Composer) stability issues (Win XP)
Hey all, My experience with 1.7 has been good and really bad. I really like the new features, especially the ability to switch between Old and New Symbology. The trouble started with Print Composer. First, it was Legend issues (a white band appears at the top of the Legend, extending to the top of the Composer). After a bit of troubleshooting (I switched off all the layers in Map View and switched them on again, one at the time), the Legend was almost working again (but really slow). The 'white band' would only be present if certain layers were added to the Map View. Secondly, and the most critical issue, is that QGIS crashes when I save the Print Composer as an Image (tiff). 'Save as PDF' works fine. So, after a few crashes yesterday, I re-installed 1.6 and I am happy again. Funny thing is, a few months back, before 1.7 stable was announced, I had both 1.6 and qgis-dev working fine. Hopefully I'll spend a bit more time troubleshooting the 1.7 issues. Machine: Win XP, Service Pack 3 Cheers and keep up the great work, Percy ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] Send us your tips!
Hi Tim, I think this is a fantastic idea. I'll be contributing my tips in the near future. BTW, Im also based SA. KZN North Coast to be precise (ex-state employer and now environmental consultant).

You have probably have seen a similar feature in other applications. And no, before you ask, we are not going to implement a 'Mr. Paperclip' function next :-). Right now the tip list is rather basic so I would like to invite everyone to submit your favourite little tips for QGIS. Here are some guidelines: - The tip should have a short title - The tip content should be short - one or two paragraphs - Simple HTML formatting can be used for the tip, including links, lists etc. - Tips should be broadly useful and perhaps reveal functionality that users may have otherwise overlooked. Here is an example submission: Title: Quick access to project properties Content: You can quickly access the project properties dialog by clicking on the icon in the bottom right corner of the window in the status bar area. If you are a developer, you can add tips directly to src/app/qgstipfactory.cpp - it should be self explanatory what to do when you look at the source.

Re: [Qgis-user] Re: Issue with map units on scale bar (wgs84 prj) (qgis 1.6, win xp)
Hi Howard, Problem solved: Segment size: 0.0100 Map units: 0.01 R Segment: 2 L Segment: 1 Also, how I do reply so that my message goes to the mailing list? Thanks and cheers, Percy On Sat, Feb 12, 2011 at 2:20 AM, hayamaguchi hayamagu...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Percy. If your map unit is in meters (m) but want your scale bar to display kilometers (km), one way to do this in Composer would be to set some parameters in the Scale bar dialogue (under the Item tab when you have the scale bar selected). Assume that you want your scale bar to show one kilometer only. You can set the Segment size (map units) to be 1000, and the Map units per bar unit to be 1000 as well. Set 1 Right segments and 0 Left segments. That should give you a scale bar with one tick equivalent to 1 kilometer in length. Finally, set the Unit label to Kilometer or km or something like that. I hope it works for you!
