Re: [Qgis-user] [Qgis-developer] [Plugin presentation] LayerCombination

2013-07-17 Thread Robin Cura
Hi,

Thanks a lot for this plugin Olivier, this will be extremely usefull for
managing big projects.

May I suggest an enhancement ?
I think it would also be really usefull to save the geographic extent of
the layers combinations too.

This would enhance the spatial bookmarks, allowing the user to create real
views for a big project, and thus would simplify the process of map
making (in the composer) when dealing with multiple localities (sort of a
simplified Atlas composer).

What do you think of this ?

Anyway, thanks again for this work,

My 2 cents,

Robin

 This is huge ! Thanks for this plugin. I think this should definitely be
 added as a core plugin (in 2.1) if other agree, of course

  Man I wish this had existed about a year and a half ago. Especially the
 fact that it integrates into the composers too. I have always felt that was
 something that was needed – an easy way to edit the locked layers in a
 composer map – hence why I wrote a plugin for it.

 ** **

 Think I may well not bother update the locked layers editor plugin to 2.0
 seeing as you have made this. This is much better.

 Wauuh

 What a plugin. Can't wait to use it. My studens work on big projects with
 many layers from differe nt timeperiods. This will help !

 Good idea with the small video.

  Dear Mailing list, 

 ** **

 I've been working on a python plugin called Layer Combinations, which
 I'd love to release as stable for QGIS 2.0 (it's still flagged as
 experimental).

 ** **

 Since it's a workflow enhancement plugin, I thought it could be of some
 interest to most of you. If so, I invite you to try the latest version
 (0.8, requires QGIS nightly/master), and report any bugs or ideas on the
 tracker :

 https://github.com/olivierdalang/layerCombinations

 ** **

 You'll find a small explanation of the plugin below, and a video trailer
 here :

 Thanks for your attention !

 ## LayerCombinations##

 ** **

 It allows to store the visibility and the folding state of the layers in
 the legend in so called combinations.

 ** **

 Those combination can then be restored, allowing to switch back and forth
 complex setups.

 ** **

 The combinations can also be applied to composer maps. The link is
 dynamic, which means that if the combination is updated, the composer map
 will automatically reflect the modifications.

 ** **

 I find it very handy for big projects with many layers and several print
 composers.

 ** **

 Hope you like it !

Re: [Qgis-user] [Qgis-developer] Proposal for QGIS-related blog

Hi,

By the way, the planet RSS feed (pointing to http://qgis.org/atom.xml )
isn't working :/

 Hi Victor,

  I was thinking about starting a blog to post QGIS-related stuff,
  mostly tipstricks about the SEXTANTE plugin, but also about other
  things, but since there are other people doing something similar (and
  writing really great posts), I think it would be a good idea to
  coordinate this a bit. To make it short...anyone fancy the idea of
  creating a collective blog to write small tutorials, recipes, etc,
  about QGIS? I think that would be good for the QGIS community, and it
  should not be hard to manage. It wouldn't be an official thing (by the
  way, is the official QGIS blog dead?), but with all the people that
  writes about QGIS, and with a little effort to make good posts and
  give them some homogeneity, it can become a reference point for the
  community of QGIS users and developers.

 Isn't the QGIS Planet intention to be exactly that ?
 http://qgis.org/planet/

 Only difference is that posts are only aggregated there, avoiding the need
 of
 yet another one dedicated tool.

 Vincent

 It's something like this:
 Unpack (unzip) the plugin failed. Probably the file is corrupted or does

Hi,

Menu View - Decorations - Scale bar

Robin

2012/7/31 michael chiverton qgisl...@gmail.com

 hi all,


 a quick question regarding adding the scale bar to the qgis map, not in
 map composer.  I have forgotten how to do so, there is still a way to add
 the scale bar to the map screen in lisboar 1.8 right?  if so, how do i do
 it?

 thanks,

[Qgis-user] Announcing a work in progress on a flow mapping plugin : qFlowMapper

2011-10-28 Thread Robin Cura
Hello,

I've been working on a new plugin for some weeks, aiming to let people do
flow mapping within QGIS.
Eventhough the plugin is yet not releaseable due to many bugs and unfinished
features, I just wanted to announce it in case somebody
would be interrested in it or would be working on something similar.

Features (done and scheduled) :

_Creating simple lines from an origin/destination table + a point layer, or
from o/d + polygon layer. (this feature should be quite easy to do, but yet,
I didn't work on it, and it could be implemented in another plugin that
would only be used for those lines creations).

_ Creating and exporting Bezier curves within QGIS, through a global or
feature by feature manual editing. The aim of this feature is to let user
design Bezier curves within QGIS, without having to use a third party tool
like Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator. Considering geometries do not handle
arcs neither curves, the shapefiles will be segmented, but the SVG export is
a native Bezier
curve. I can't use the map composer for it, as it don't support Bezier path.
This feature half works : I can create automatically Bezier control points,
and edit them manually, and then,
convert all of the lines to Bezier. I've been designing a maptool object for
transparent manipulation, and work is still in progress in this domain.
The exported SVG should also be importable and editable in QGIS, so that
user can keep a track of their manipulations on a flow map.

_ Applying some algorithms to flows : Currently, I implemented an algorithm
named FDEB (Force-Directed Edge Bundling, see here :
www.win.tue.nl/~dholten/papers/forcebundles_eurovis.pdfhttp://www.win.tue.nl/%7Edholten/papers/forcebundles_eurovis.pdf
)
whose goal is to apply a bundling to lines, somehow similar to magnetic
fields attraction, in order to spot patterns and axes in dense flow maps.
Even if this is quite long to apply on medium/large shapefiles, it's working
the way it should :)
I'm considering the implementation of another algorithm for spider maps,
that can be found and explained here
:http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/5204/curved-point-to-point-route-maps/5224#5224

A first, experimental, experimental version should be released within some
weeks, and then, I'll ask for your feedbacks :)

Until this, you can of course give me ideas/notices on what should be in the
plugin, and you can consult the sources here, keeping in consideration that
qFlowMapper is still under a lot of development :
https://github.com/RCura/PluginFlux

Thanks to the community for the help given so far,

Robin.
