[Qgis-user] FOSS4G North America now open for registration
Sorry for the crossposting this morning and extra unnecesary email for a lot of you - but I'm guessing a lot of United States users are here and not on the QGIS-us list. FOSS4G North America (https://www.foss4gna.org) is now open for registration. We will attempt a meet and greet in STL similar to Baltimore. So please come meet your fellow QGIS users.

Re: [Qgis-user] Import German population data

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS for safe organization use.
Greetings from the South of Canada. So I'm a user and not a programmer by any stretch. The open source license for QGIS covers the Software. Your data is your data and no one else's unless you physically share it. It's not any less safe than Arcpro. The data it builds is compatible with ESRI products (it can build and edit ESRI file Based Geodatabases (which I'm guessing may be a requirement)). It's my daily driverwell - my only driver for Desktop GIS (I say that and PostGIS will make you feel things deep down in your soul). Anyway - I know that's a short answer but - Enjoy your QGIS'ing.

After, I plan to create a layer that will show the location of these buildings on a map. Now, a large portion of the information regarding the buildings and their locations is confidential, and so I'm wondering if the geodatabase and layer that I plan to create will be safe and protected, or if other users will have access to them since QGIS is free and open source?

I wanted to convert the original data in 500 m spatial resolution (0.0041667 arc deg; 2985 col x 1671 row for each scene) to 1 km resolution (0.0083 arc deg; 1493 col x 836 row), so that i am able to create Max.value (& Min. value) Composites (MVCs) for consecutive 8-Day periods at 1 km resolution and then analyse the data sets for matching with other 8-Day data series available at 1 km resolution from Modis Terra sites. No downloaded data from AppEEARS is automatically 'imported" to my Idrisi software (neither geotiff, nor netCDF; same is the case with my GlobalMapper 8.0 software also; the same formats from other sites get converted easily). The file format could be read in my QGIS Desktop software (ver. 3.18.2; Zurich), and then exported either in geotiff or other formats (incl. idrisi) in whatever resolution, etc., i chose. Although i am doing it file by file, this is a huge back-breaking pre-processing task. I was thinking if there is any tool in QGIS for automatic batch processing of the data (say, 50 or 100 at one time, once i select the "Raster datasets" and "add" them in the given Box under "Data Source Manager"). Presently, after adding the datafiles, i have to select one raster image at a time and "Export" it with the desired resolution/ file format, etc. It helps if i am able to select all the files together, give one output resolution value and one desired file format for all the files to be processed). It also helps if the output data file uses the same name as given for the input file, but allows the user to provide a short prefix to each of them (say 4-6 letters, either replacing the first 4-6 ones, or adding to the given names). Once i am able to pre-process the data quickly, i am thinking of trying my QGIS for cloud removal (by providing a zero, No Data value to the cloud pixels) and then try it for getting MVCs for consecutive 8-day periods.

You can grab all the imagery from a directory and convert it. I will admit that batch processing does throw me off just a bit - BUT - work with it and it should do what you want.

Recently i downloaded a set of MODIS Terra surface reflectance Daily data for a fixed rectangular area of my interest (118 daily files for each of the bands 1-4 and for years 2000-2020), using the AppEEARS tool (NASA-USGS-LP DAAC) in geotiff format (WGS 84; LatLong). I wanted to convert the original data in 500 m spatial resolution (0.0041667 arc deg; 2985 col x 1671 row for each scene) to 1 km resolution (0.0083 arc deg; 1493 col x 836 row), so that i am able to create Max.value (& Min. value) Composites (MVCs) for consecutive 8-Day periods at 1 km resolution and then analyse the data sets for matching with other 8-Day data series available at 1 km resolution from Modis Terra sites. No downloaded data from AppEEARS is automatically 'imported" to my Idrisi software (neither geotiff, nor netCDF; same is the case with my GlobalMapper 8.0 software also; the same formats from other sites get converted easily). The file format could be read in my QGIS Desktop software (ver. 3.18.2; Zurich), and then exported either in geotiff or other formats (incl. idrisi) in whatever resolution, etc., i chose. Although i am doing it file by file, this is a huge back-breaking pre-processing task. I was thinking if there is any tool in QGIS for automatic batch processing of the data (say, 50 or 100 at one time, once i select the "Raster datasets" and "add" them in the given Box under "Data Source Manager"). Presently, after adding the datafiles, i have to select one raster image at a time and "Export" it with the desired resolution/ file format, etc. It helps if i am able to select all the files together, give one output resolution value and one desired file format for all the files to be processed). It also helps if the output data file uses the same name as given for the input file, but allows the user to provide a short prefix to each of them (say 4-6 letters, either replacing the first 4-6 ones, or adding to the given names). Once i am able to pre-process the data quickly, i am thinking of trying my QGIS for cloud removal (by providing a zero, No Data value to the cloud pixels) and then try it for getting MVCs for consecutive 8-day periods.

Re: [Qgis-user] Identify Results customization?
On the attribute window you can organize data and turn off fields - but they still appear using the identify window. Try this: * Right click on your layer * Go to properties * Go to Forms * Set the widget type for the field you want to hide to "hidden" and it won't show up with identify results.but it does still show up in the attribute windowHeh. (I wasn't expecting that but I've learned something). So I'm guessing it a combination of hiding the field using organize columns button and Setting with widget type to "hidden".

[Qgis-user] Fwd: Georeferencer Plugin Help - QGIS
Good afternoon QGIS People I received a question on RMSE errors in georeferencer and after talking to Ethan about it I realized I have no clue what I'm talking about. How would we go about calculating an RMSE for a rectified image in QGIS? I've cc'd ethan on this so he can chime in also. Thanks Randy Forwarded Message Subject:Georeferencer Plugin Help - QGIS Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2020 15:27:13 + From: Ethan Cissell To: i...@northrivergeographic.com Hi Randal, I have a question about the usage and outputs of the Georeferencer Plugin in QGIS, and thought, given your expertise, you might be able to directly help, or point me in the right direction. I am a Ph.D. candidate in Ecology and Evolution at Florida State University applying spatial techniques to study the dynamics of benthic cyanobacterial mats on coral reefs. This past summer, I photographically tracked individual cyanobacterial mats in which I had placed plastic stakes as ground control points for later image rectification. I am trying to essentially create image stacks, so that I can parameterize a generalized additive mixed effects model that accounts for the inherent spatial autocorrelation and includes a parameter with occupation at the previous time-point explicitly included to hopefully model the population dynamics of this system. Thus, a quantitative understanding of the error in my alignment is absolutely critical to the downstream conclusions (especially for informing my resampling to larger grid size to account for error in my alignments). I am using QGIS for obtaining all raw data from these photos (scaling, rectification, classification, resampling), but I am stuck at the rectification step. I am using the “Georeferencer” plugin to accomplish my alignments, but I have received mixed advice on how to interpret the residuals output on the GCP table in the Georeferencer window (screenshot below). The documentation for this plugin seems to indicate that the far right column (Residual) is actually a per GCP RMS error. Can you tell me how to interpret these errors/how to obtain a total RMSE error for the image alignment (i.e. not just per GCP error, but total error for each image)? I have been told to sum all of the values from the residuals column and take the square root of that raw summation. Is this correct? Many thanks in advance. I apologize for the lengthy email, but I wanted to establish the motivations for this project so that you would have more context for the goals of the alignment. Any and all help here is greatly appreciated.

Re: [Qgis-user] Road Labels
One thing you could do is take the roads you downloaded for Michigan and
clip them against the county boundary. You should be able to get the
county boundary from the Michican open data site or the census. If you
add both the roads and county boundary to your QGIS session I would
1. select your county
2. Open the processing toolbox
3. search for clip
4. Be sure to clip the roads with the selected county
5. Save out your new roads layer to a shapefile (or geopackage) and work
with the smaller dataset.
Yell if you have any problems - good luck!

Hello Helpful Members;
I am a fairly new user (about 3-4 months now). I have been using the
online tutorials, the training manual and anything I can understand.
BACKGROUND
I am a parking planner so I create maps of my study area, which is
usually an entire city, in various US states. For example, right now
I am working on Rockford, Michigan, USA. I know it is a small area,
but it is one in which we have already done the study and I am trying
to recreate everything we did for them (my GIS person no longer works
with us, so I am learning).
WHAT I NEED TO DO
I need to be able to add a layer containing street names for my study
area. This layer needs to have an attribute table I can manipulate to
get only the streets (labels) within my study area. I do not want the
point bubbles (ex: Target, Leo's Coney Island, etc.) that point out
restaurants and places of interest that I seem unable to get rid of
when I use google roads (xyz:
https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=h&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}
<https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=h&x=%7bx%7d&y=%7by%7d&z=%7bz%7d> ).
WHAT I HAVE TRIED
I am unable to manipulate data in open street maps. I have tried to
download the roads vector file from the State of Michigan. However,
this file is so huge (as it contains every road in the state) it keeps
crashing every time I try to manipulate it. I have been able to
select just the roads in the area I want using an expression, but it
crashes when I try to select one of the roads to remove it from the
study area (stragglers I do not want to show after using the select
area tool). I have also tried to select all the records I do not need
in an effort to delete them in the hopes of making the file smaller.
Again, it crashes.
MY QUESTION
Can someone please give me a link to a tutorial that will show me
where and how to get just the road names for any US city (as I need
them). Or provide me with directions to do what I need? I have been
trying to figure this out for over 2 months now and just can’t seem to
find what I need.
As my computer constantly crashed using QGIS after the new Windows
updates, we have installed new hardware in hopes to keep it from crashing.
Dell Computer
Currently have 16 gig memory (increased from 8)
2 gig AMD Radian R5 Video card (newly installed)
Core I3 processor
Using QGIS 3.10.9 (3.14 won’t load)
Sorry for the long email. Please let me know if you require more info.
Thank you for your kind attention.

It's actually unrelated to projection. You CAN'T change the ellipsoid used by a projection, at least without creating your own custom projection. The ellipsoid settings in project properties are only utilised for area/length calculations, not transformations. So the next question would be - way back in a past life I worked with mapping at Fossil/Nuclear Plants and some had custom grids - no projection just a 0,0 and then everything was on a grid. In that case would it be acceptable to do "none/planimetric" when working on a project like that? No projection - just a grid.

I'd have to reload an older version - but it seems like before 3.10 (I'm on linux and was trailing on proj versions) that when I loaded some 2274 data the ellipsoid was coming in wrong (not GRS80 and I can't remember what it was pulling in). In the testing this weekend it's coming in correctly (3.14) if I start out with a new profile etc etc - which further fueled the "I'm doing this wrong" line of thought. So I'd say the bug is qgis/proj allowing transforms to/from a LCC-but-no-ellipsoid CRS. And maybe qgis allowing 2274-but-no-ellipsoid is a bug too. -- --- Randal Hale rjh...@northrivergeographic.com https://www.northrivergeographic.com (423)653-3611 ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Mostly it resulted from a job I was doing for a forester - the area calculations from ellipsoid were coming out larger than it should have been. Planimetric put me close to what was "right". I started doubting this was right a few weeks ago wrestling with the "ballpark transform" error message. Now I'm getting a ballpark transformation message if I move data from 2274 to 4326 (for instance I'm moving points to a GPX Format).BUT - if I set the Ellipsoid to be GRS 1980 (which it is for that projection) - no warning. Can you open a ticket on this and attach your data? It's quite possible that the warning is correct, but it's also possible it's a spurious warning and I can hide it in this circumstance. I can! Which now has me thinking MAYBE I should set the ellipsoid. EXCEPT my area measurements always come out a bit larger than expected. Which **IS** expected! :D An ellipsoidal area will almost always result in a larger area vs a cartesian area calculation, because it's calculating the area over a curved surface rather than a flat surface. (same applies to length measurements). Generally my advice is to use ellipsoidal area/length calculations, unless the specific constraints and specifications of a particular task or discipline dictate otherwise. If in doubt, I'd: 1. compare the two area calculation results. The identify tool "derived attributes" section handily shows BOTH cartesian and ellipsoidal areas/lengths, if you've setup your project to use an ellipsoid. If the results are relatively similar (e.g. say within 0.1% of each other), then ask yourself whether it makes any difference practically which of them you use. Chances are the accuracy of your input datasets will be a bigger factor here then the area calculation method used, and you may be chasing false accuracy by reporting areas to that many significant figures anyway! Or, in other cases, the actual purpose of the calculations you're making aren't even required to a degree of accuracy to warrant being affected by the choice! (e.g. if you're calculating species density, then it's an inherent estimate only and the practical outcome of choosing between cartesian/ellipsoidal calculations is nill). I'm really starting to wonder if this started back at 3 (in my head) and I've continued down the wrong path since then. Maybe it was a bug or something in the beginning and I never adjusted based on everything getting fixed. Maybe. I really don't have a good answer. 2. if you've checked and the input datasets ARE sufficiently accurate that the choice matters, then push the choice back to your customer. Ask them which method is suitable for the results they're after. Get the answer in writing and your method is justified! 3. keep in mind that even ellipsoidal measurements are an estimation. The earth isn't an ellipsoid! Local variations in elevation are likely to have a much more significant impact on large scale calculations vs the cartesian/ellipsoidal choice. Hope that helps! Yes - it helps. I'm getting a lot of questions from people getting "ballpark transform" messages which led to the last little bit of testing, head scratching, and "Hey I can be completely wrong on what I'm doing". Nyall So I go back to "none/planimetric".BUT - is that causing issue with reprojecting data Any thoughts? Thanks for any support or pointing me in a direction.

Re: [Qgis-user] shapefiles
Yeah - that's a layer order issue. Just drag that line above your ortho over in the layers panel. Select the layer and drag it up. You can move stuff around pretty easily in that panel. If you ever dump a shapefile out of some custom Forestry software it could (like something to COGO boundaries or do cruises) it can become a projection issue easily. BUT - you're on the right track!

Re: [Qgis-user] wishing for accurate lattitude/longitude from a cell phone
exactly, some
points are just a few feet off and some are 10 or even 30 feet off. I imported
the data trying both EPSG 4326 and 4269.
I'm now convinced that the problem is due to (1) my Google Pixel 3 cellphone, (2) the app I'm
using ("Latitude Longitude" published by gps-coordinates), and especially (3) my
less-than-steady hands. I capture coordinates by standing at spot, waiting for the blue dot to
settle, and then touching the blue dot. Often I don't touch the screen at exactly the right place.
I tried another app ("GPS Coordinates" published by Financept) which is better in that
it allows me to zoom in, but I'm still not always getting it right.
I'm thinking now that I need specialized equipment. That is what I want to
ask you. Can you recommend some inexpensive device that will allow me to
simply press a button to record accurately the coordinates of the point where
I'm standing? Keep in mind that this is a community project with no funding.
I live on Social Security and a university pension, but I'm willing to pay
something in the range of $50 or a bit more. Do you know of anything at such a
modest price, or would I have to pay much more? Or perhaps you know of better
software for my Android Pixel 3 phone.
Thanks in advance for any advice you might offer.

Re: [Qgis-user] question about live vs linked connections
Good question. So There is a plugin called offline editing. You can connect to a postgis database - sync it to be offline - edit it and sync it back to the original table. I've not used it in production for a bit but I did a quick test against a local database and it worked fine. I'd give that a test and see if that would work for you.

Edits would get saved back to the postgres db when not remote and likewise, changes from the postgres db could be refreshed back to the linked table when connected. When working with ODBC connected tables in MapInfo one has this option (live or linked).

[Qgis-user] Meeting in October 2019 in the Southeast US
Good Morning/Afternoon QGIS Listserve - and sorry for the duplication/spam as I've sent this out on several other listserves and many of you are way outside of the SE United States. I'm hopefully going to hold a QGIS centric meeting in the Southeastern US in October 2019. Right now I'm trying to piece together an interested group of people and hold this around the Chattanooga TN area (which could be Huntsville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Asheville, etc). It will probably be a 1 day meeting but depending on interest we could go more. I've held meetings (with the help of a lot of great people) in the past [1] centered around FOSS4G software and they've had quite a turnout with topics ranging from SAGA, LIDAR, QGIS, and PostGIS. There is a OSGEO Listserv covering the SE US [2] and I'm preparing to pepper the list with information and put up a central location for information. I'm open to suggestions for a location. I'm hoping to nail down a date and location shortly so if you are so inclined join the listserve below and we can discuss. I'm open to sponsors and whatever else we might need. Usually the biggest expense for these meetings is food and snacks. Depending on interest we may need more than that. Anyway - hopefully those of us in the Southeast US can get together and talk about QGIS.

Start QGIS and go to Settings -> User Profiles -> New Profiles. QGIS may not freeze with a new one. I don't know if that answers your questions but it is something to test that maybe sheds some light on things.

Re: [Qgis-user] PIN # LookUp Help?
I did a quick glance at their website - I assume you've downloaded the data. If you have the data downloaded and open in QGIS you can also use the Select Features By Value Tool (its on the attributes toolbar and you can also tap F3 on your keyboard) and enter the pin number in the appropriate field and it should autocomplete. From there you can zoom, flash, etc the parcel. I think someone also mentioned the "locate tool" in the bottom left corner of QGIS. As far as using metasearch - that depends on whether they've published a catalog service - but having the data should work just fine. Good Luck! Randy On 2/18/19 2:15 PM, Craig C.

After I upgraded to 3.4.2 I still had problems with everything running very slowly. (See my post below - QGIS 3.4.2 still very slow to work in Windows 10 by David Addy) Now on 3.4.3 the same issues seem to be continuing, with the odd crash added in for good measure. Opening QGIS on Windows 10 always takes over half a minute before anything happens apart from the outline box of the QGIS window full of blank space. Once a project finally loads up any random operation gets the "QGIS not responding" message. I can scan a map without any problem, moving it around works fine, as does zooming in and out. But if I want to amend the contents of the attribute table or change a style in the Layer Properties I get “QGIS is not responding”. After a long delay it may respond correctly. This can result in further issues because I may try pressing buttons to get a response. After long frustration it might decide to crash. I use the stand -alone version of 64 bit Windows package, which loads with QT 5.11.2. I run a 16 gb computer with Intel i7 processor. It seems to make no difference whether I have my Kaspersky Security Suite turned on or off. Frustratingly, some other users apparently experience no problems with Windows on QGIS. Ubuntu users are ecstatic – they work lovely. If you are on Windows 10 and are still having these sort of issues on QGIS 3.4.3 it would be very helpful if you could add a note to this thread so we can gauge the numbers involved. Useful also if you can note whether you use the standalone package, 64 or 32 bit, and the QT package installed. Thanks very much.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS Functionality and Training
I do training - just not on this specifically. I'd have to sit and think about it how to work this in. I'll answer in line and maybe someone has a better answer (possibly Kurt Menke) 1. I would think GRASS would be more appropriate than QGIS. A lot of the tools in grass are exposed in QGIS - so maybe we could do basin delineation using those tools but within QGIS. 2. I'm not sure - but we can figure it out. QGIS can export to about anything - so it's possible. Shapefiles make the world go around - that and CSV text files. 3. Yes. 4. Without looking I believe so. Possibly would have to be one in GRASS or with one of the exposed tools from GRASS in QGIS. 5. 6. 7. Yes.

If you can export your data as txt files you can pull that info into QGIS. * The group I work with was using DNR GPS to push and pull data from their GPS Units. With the newer Garmin units you can copy a GPX file to the unit (like a USB drive). I replaced DNR GPS with QGIS (we just create a GPX file and copy it). * We generate all the Plots and digitize the stand information using QGIS - when I started working with them, they were a arcivew shop. QGIS would do everything and more than Arcview. Plus it saved them licensing costs over the long haul. * I ended up adding PostGIS into the mix - but that's a longer story for another time.

Re: [Qgis-user] Default Value for a Widget
That's exactly what is happening. Its works fine on an update but not on initial creation. Give me a bit and I'll test it with a virtual field.

[Qgis-user] Default Value for a Widget
I have an address point database. There are some string calculations that have to happen after a point has been added. I've hit a bit of a stuck spot with this one. I have three fields: fielda. fieldb, and fieldc When the user adds the information for those three fields I have one field that needs to add the three strings together. In the fieldtotal column I set up an expression (in the attributes form) for the default value that is: "fielda" || ' ' || "fieldb" || ' ' || "fieldc" and place that in default value. example: "123", "MAIN", "456" and I want "123 MAIN 456" It won't calculate at the end - it's as if I'm forgetting to set something. If I check the "Apply default value on update" checkbox it will update if I edit the point - just not on initial point creation. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS and ESRI's ArcMAp
Good Morning (Greetings from TN) It's a really mixed bag as far as capabilities. I say that - I haven't used ArcGIS now for a bit except at ones client's office. The big thing you'll notice is it's a different workflow (not necessarily one being more right over another). So if you try some workflow you're used to in ArcGIS you might get a bit frustrated - but I get frustrated now with ArcGIS because of my workflows in QGIS. * In general all the extensions you're used to are already included. So things like the spatial analyst toolset is there already. * Probably the 3D environment in Pro is better (but I've never opened pro) - but QGIS is gaining momentum. * I find the community here is more vibrant - you can send emails on Saturday at noon to the listserve and get an answer. * I think QGIS is more flexible - but probably 8 years ago I would have argued ArcGIS was. I enjoy this software more now. * I think the cartography tools are equal and possibly better than ArcGIS. * Everyone here is more receptive to suggestions. You can file a bug report and talk to a person (and not get a error). Give it a shot and start playing with it. Do a small project. Style it all up - make a PDF. Hopefully you'll like it - possibly love it. (look here -> this might help although it refers to an older version of QGIS - it's still a great read - https://gisunchained.wordpress.com/2016/01/28/qgis-features-i-long-for-while-using-arcgis/ ) Randy On 06/29/2018 07:59 AM, Crosby, Scott wrote: Good morning, Are there tools and/or capabilities unique to QGIS that are not available in ArcMap?

The authcfg is just an ID that the QGIS authentication manager uses to retrieve the credentials from the QGIS user authentication DB. If I get your point, what I suggest you is that you create your project (the one that needs to be distributed) and configure your layers with a custom authcfg (you can use up to 7 digits or letters to name it) and just tell the users to create an entry in their authentication DB (using the authentication manager in their QGIS instance) with same authcfg that you have chosen and with their credentials.

[Qgis-user] QGIS 2.99 crashing on 17.10 with project properties menu
So I filed a bug report (17662) - but I can't actually say that this is a bug. I did two tests and both ended up with QGIS 2.99 crashing. So I think it's a bug. I built a VM off kubuntu and it crashed - this machine has had 2.18 on it. If I start qgis and click on the project properties in the lower right it crashes. If I start project properties from the file menu it doesn't crash until I click on the CRS menu. Any suggestions on what I can do to better describe the issue? I don't see any chatter on this so I'm thinking it must be my machine. I'm a bit stuck on how to proceed. Randy -- Randal Hale North River Geographic Systems.

Re: [Qgis-user] LiDAR Data in QGIS
I'm dealing with a different issue here in Tennessee - We have the original files except they are locked in zlas (ESRI Proprietary Format) BUT - I can get it out of zlas so I can have fun with the LAS files. Good news is - LAS was a thing in 2003 (https://www.asprs.org/committee-general/laser-las-file-format-exchange-activities.html) so you might be able to get those OR at least a CSV file. You might have to go back to the vendor. They probably have them but might take some work to pry the files out of them. 2003 might be a life time ago for many. Good luck though! and take a look at GRASS and PDAL. I feed the LIDAR data into GRASS and pull the returns out or reprocess it. I'm not that great at doing it but learning.

Re: [Qgis-user] LiDAR Data in QGIS
I've only been watching this thread when I remember - so My apologies. If I go back to the original thread - if these are in ADF I believe that's ESRI's GRID Format. Which means they are what they are and you can't do much with them. They have only the last return (or if I remember correctly returns classed 2,8, etc). If you have zlas, las, or laz - I would suggest GRASS for processing: https:// grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/LIDAR If you don't have any of the las/laz formats - you might want to do some research and see if they were delivered with the LIDAR dataset you have or if they weren't request them. They may be sitting somewhere on a shelf/forgotten folder on a server. You can do a lot more with the original LIDAR files like pull tree heights or possibly rebuild the surface (be it dsm/dtm/dem etc). Randy -- Randal Hale North River Geographic Systems.

I have a question - this didn't seem to be an issue until 2.18.12 QGIS. I'm currently on 2.18.13 Ubuntu 17.04. I could be missing something. I have a forestry client and they were preparing to do some aerial spraying. So I outlined the area to be sprayed and generated acres. Generally I set my project properties to feet (for units) and square feet (for area) and the ellipsoid set to none/planimetric. My data is stored in WGS84 in postgis. I pulled it out into a shapefile and eventually stored it in geopackage while trying to track down my issue. Dropbox link to the data: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8w1spcxu5by7z70/AACilL5kOeOC7tzX4WCEkOdka?dl=0 I set the CRS to EPSG:2274 - the data is in wgs84. If I run acres with project properties set to feet, square feet, and none/planimetric and using the Field Calculator I get: 372.82 acres. This is wrong. If I run acres with project properties set to feet, square feet, and wgs84 as the ellipsoid I get 307.41 acres which appears to be right. If I run acres using the virtual layer abilities: /select sum(st_area(st_transform(geometry,2274))/43560) from spray/ I get 306.04 acres which may be right. I didn't notice this until 2.18.12 - I updated to 2.18.13 and it is still acting "odd" - I didn't notice in 2.18.11 but I'm not sure if I ran any area calculations in 2.18.11. I have also noticed that if I switch from wgs84 (feet, square feet, none for ellipsoid in the project properties) and then switch to EPSG:2274 the ellipsoid changes to grs1980(iugg 1980).. which having the ellipsoid at GRS80 may have been covering for my area calculations and making them "about right". Anyway thoughts? Ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS
Hey Zachary - you should be able to right click that text file in your Layers Panel and select "Save As" - save it as a shapefile. You should then be able to edit that file and delete the points. Randy -Original Message- Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2017 19:11:40 + Subject: [Qgis-user] QGIS To: qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org From: "Young, Zachary" I loaded vector data of points onto the map provided by QGIS (Google Street). The points were originally created in an Excel file. I then converted this into a text file because it said to do so. I want to remove some of these points because they are not all needed but when ever i click on the layer to highlight it then pencil goes gray and does not let me edit anything.

[Qgis-user] Snapping: Move Features vs Node Tool
A question. In an attempt to help a client I'm doing some data cleanup - which is good. I spend too much time talking and not enough doing. I need to snap points to the endpoints of lines. If I set snapping up and use the move features tool the point doesn't snap to the line. If I move the point using the node tool the point snaps to the line. I've been looking for an option or something to change. I'm not seeing one. Is this expected behavior? To me it would make more sense for both tools to snap data - but I may be missing something. If I add data, the data snaps as I would expect it. The good people I'm helping immediately started moving data and it didn't snap - and I've instructed them to use the node tool to make the edits.

[Qgis-user] DWG import
I've been testing the DWG Import - one question. I imported a 3D DWG file and all the data data is imported (yay) but there isn't a elevation attached anywhere. Is it hidden somewhere or not imported? I really think I'm missing a step - possibly.

Re: [Qgis-user] spatialjoin
,
though it produces
a lot of temporary files cluttering the project.
A better way for all those repetitive tasks, is to use
the graphical
modeller, to create a workflow which only has to be
triggered once new
points come in, and the resulting file can be saved as
new a file e.g.
with the current date in the name, so you have kind of an
archive and do not
overwrite previous files (and destroy your work in case
something goes
wrong).
So I can imagine a model with input layer A (new points
in WGS84 without attributes) and a parcel layer B (in
whatever projection).
reproject layer A and C will be created as an
intermediate step.
Next input layer is the latest result layer D,
reprojected and with attributes.
Merge layer C and D -> E. Now delete all columns which
are from layer B (from the last spatial join.
Unfortunately, you can only delete one field at a time in
the modeller, so you'll will have to add the command
several times in a row to the model) -> Fn
Do the spatial join of Fn with B.
The last result G will now hold all points with the
corresponding parcel info plus additional fields you
might have added to the points.
G will be the input D in the next run with fresh points.
So, do not add new points to the already existing
collection of points in WGS84 (it is never save to edit
layers without backup), but just import them as a new
input set and then run the model with the parcel layer
and the last result layer.
The modeller is not as intuitive as it should be, but it
can save you a lot of time once you managed to set up a
model.
Maybe I was completely wrong analysing the problem, but
maybe someone else has the problem that fits to my
solution ;)

Coordinate Reference System mentioned and many times
it is something like EPSG: . A Spatial Join must
have the layers in the same coordinate system.
If it is different - Right Click on your GPS points
and "Save as". When the "Save vector layer as"
window comes up. Save it as a shapefile and MOST
IMPORTANTLY change the CRS to match your parcel
layer. Click on the small globe (that appears to be

you see for your parcels. You can then select that
projection and Save your file. It should save. You
can then perform the "join by location".
It should work. You are very close though so don't worry.

Re: [Qgis-user] Splitting Spatialite layers
You're hitting a bug that exists in QGIS 2.16 and 2.18 - They are
working on a resolution.

Hi All,
As a mostly shape/tab file user, I've been attempting to experiment
with spatialite dbs a bit recently, and am starting to get a bit more
used to them. I'm hitting a problem with splitting objects though, and
wondered if this annoyance counted as a bug?
If I have a spatialite layer and split an object, that's fine. But
when I save the layer I get a "Could not commit changes to layer
LayerName" banner. If I press "Show more" then I get something like this:
_
Could not commit changes to layer layername
Errors: SUCCESS: 1 geometries were changed.
SUCCESS: 1 attribute value(s) changed.
ERROR: 4 feature(s) not added.
Provider errors:
SQLite error: UNIQUE constraint failed: LayerName.pkuid
SQL: INSERT INTO
"layername"("geometry","pkuid","Code","Lith","Description","Quality","code1","lith1","description1","quality1")
VALUES (ST_Multi(GeomFromWKB(?, 28351)),?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)
I'm not populaing the pkuid data, so I think QGIS is auto filling this.
I think that what's happening is that when QGIS splits the feature
both new parts have the same pkuid number. Certainly if I go in
manually and change the field I can save without errors.
If QGIS is auto filling this column, ought it not be handling the
splitting case too?
Thoughts?

In both cases I've enabled editing, disabled editing, created a scratch layer, set a layer in PostGIS, etc - and I can't get it to enable. On Linux I moved my .qgis2 folder to .qgis2-old to create a new one and nothing. Usually by this point I would think bug - but I still half think it's me. Advice? Angst? Questions? Answers?

Re: [Qgis-user] Count points overlaying a raster layer
I would convert your raster to vector. Assuming you are on 2.18 (which is what I am currently using) - open your processing toolbox. At the top of QGIS click on Processing -> Toolbox. 1. In your toolbox go to GDAL/OGR -> Conversion -> Polygonize raster to Vector. Once you change that to a vector file then go to the next step. 2. In your toolbox go to QGIS geoalgorithms -> Vector Analysis Tools -> Count points in polygons. That should add a field to your new polygon shapefile with the number of points in that polygon. Good Luck. On 11/28/2016 09:37 PM, K Imran M wrote: Dear all, I apologize if this has been asnwered before. My question is: if I have 2 layers- one is a vector (points in shapefile format) layer and the other one is a raster layer (flood area). And I would like to count the number of points inside the flood area. How can I do that? Should I convert the raster to vector first? Can anyone kindly refer me to any resource if you know any?

Re: [Qgis-user] different buffer for the same field
In the processing Toolbox there is a tool called Variable Distance Buffer. If you add a field to your data giving each type a width (field called bufferwidth and it is 10, 20, 30 , 40 meters for each type) - you can use that tool to automatically buffer each fault accordingly. Good Luck! Randy On 11/15/2016 07:26 PM, Azzurra Lentini wrote: Dear all, I have a shape file with a field called “type”. In the “type” field I have 4 kinds of samples ( 19 records). See in the attachment. The 4 samples are: normal fault, inverse fault, overthrust, syncline. I would like to create a buffer with different distance for each sample (the best it would be to obtain a shape with 5 different buffer distances). For example the buffer distance for the sample “ normal fault” is 30 m, for the “inverse fault “ is 20 m, for the “overthrust” is 50 m and for the “syncline” is 20 m. How I can do this kind of buffer??
