Re: [Qgis-user] Shapefile with file .cpg(codepage)
Hi Even, the encoding is often a source of confusion. I work in a mixed environment, me on Linux (so UTF-8 is the "System"-default), the rest is using on Windows (with Windows-1252 I assume) Transfering shapes often results in crippled data, and I have not found workflows/settings that this will not happen. Is there anything I can do about it, so we do not have to adjust things manually all the time, or first look if the codepage is correctly set ?

The .cpg extension is a optional extension for declaration of Code-Page. Is this file knowed and supported from QGIS 2.14. ? I don't know if the qgis when loading a shapefile is using the ogr or instead is using an own shapefile provider, but however I don't know if gdal is knowing and using this .cpg file. Andrea, OGR does use the .cpg file when present (I'm just updating http://gdal.org/drv_shapefile.html since it only mentions the reading of the codepage byte in the DBF header, but the .cpg presence overrides that) and QGIS uses OGR to read shapefiles. But, in QGIS, the default behaviour is to make OGR *not* use the encoding detected by the OGR shapefile driver and use instead the user defined encoding in the GUI. Unless you go to Settings / Options / Data Sources and uncheck the "Ignore shapefile encoding declaration", in which case OGR will manage the transcoding itself.

[Qgis-user] Problems with ubuntu-unstable again
Hi, some days ago, I updated to 2.16 from the repositories. Everything worked fine. Then yesterday, an update for saga came in. Checked today, saga is not working in the toolbox. Removing, reinstalling, fiddling, disabling/enabling ubuntu-unstable etc etc -> finally ending up again in a situation with no working grass and saga in the toolbox. Using Linux Mint 17 Anyone an idea how to solve this, or is it just again waiting till things get sorted out by itself in some weeks?

Hi, when you the click "Add vector" button, the file browser will first be defaulted to show all files in the folder. Once you change this in the drop-down at the bottom in "Files of type:" from "All files" to ESRI shapefiles", it will filter to show only .shp. The dialog will remember this setting.

Unfortunately the instructions on the download page never manage to reflect those changes. I think they do, (or at least we try) but for Ubuntu/Debian there are just a lot of possible options, and trying to describe that clearly [0] apparently does not make it really easier, just because of all the possible options and/or combinations. The download page for debian/ubuntu reflects the coders motto: Minimize the code! But people who are not used to read code have really difficulties getting the picture there. 1. I am confident, that the biggest part of Ubuntu users would like to have a release with the same features as they have if using the installer on Windows. The offered release (http://qgis.org/debian) does not do this. This is not mentioned anywhere that it lacks features. People have to find out by themselves. 2. "Release with ubuntugis dependencies" is as cryptic as it can be. But it is simply the version most people expect to receive. A full sentence of what the differences between the repositories are would not let the page explode. Maybe mention that MrSID and ECW is not supported in contrary to Windows due to legal issues (and that you have to compile stuff to get it) 3. The instructions to add the ubuntugis functions are outdated for several releases already. I remember it worked with the ubuntugis-repository plus the ppa. The next version, I had to add as well the debian-repository. The next time, I had to remove debian again. Now it seems it works with the ubuntugis repository only, and no ppa. If you do not give those explanations, where should they come from then? Have mercy and simply add more text. Form follows function. If the function breaks the form of the page, then maybe change the design. I love QGIS and appreciate all your work! Bernd If somebody comes up with a better text, please do. Maybe split up Ubuntu and Debian in two different blocks? And as usual: not working (for you?) please provide a full better working alternative :-) we are happy to add information that would make it more clear.

[Qgis-user] Upgrading to 2.16 -> delete Processing in .qgis2 to get new version
Hi, I just upgraded from 2.14 to 2.16 on Linux Mint (after uninstalling everything). I had some strange behaviours with the Processing Toolbox, so I got the idea to delete the processing plugin folder from .qgis2/Python/plugins and restarted QGIS. Then there was a new link at the bottom of the toolbox, telling me that I can activate more providers. Actually I did not change anything in the settings, but when closing them, there was visible action on my hard disc. Afterwards, the quirks were gone. It seems that the new Processing is only working correctly when doing that(?) This may apply to Windows as well. Any comments from devs on that? In case this should be a general case when upgrading, shouldn't this be told somewhere prominently on the website? -- Bernd Vogelgesang Siedlerstraße 2 91083 Baiersdorf/Igelsdorf Tel: 09133-825374 ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

[Qgis-user] Making QGIS-Screencasts on Ubuntu/Mint
Hi, for the first time I try to make some screencasts to explain QGIS-features to customers etc. The problem there is, that when recording the screen or window with no matter which screencast software, the Map Canvas goes wild while moving the mouse over it. It pans and zooms in or out, so it's nearly impossible to explain something cause I always loose the focus on the features. The problem does not seem to be QGIS-specific. In Google Earth, the same moving and zooming happens. Did anyone already encounter this problem or does anyone have a working solution for this?

Re: [Qgis-user] Openstreetmap offline with QGIS
Hi, I normally do it this way to have an offline basemap either for the mobile phone or the notebook: 1. Install QuickMapServices (an add contributed pack in the settings) for a variety of background layer. There are also different flavours of OSM, so pick your favourite. 2. Install the (tagged as experimental) QTiles plugin. Assuming you have to work in certain area at a time only, set your canvas to this are. In QTiles, you can choose between .zip and .mbtiles (but those mbtiles work within QGIS for already a while). Pick mbtiles for file creation. Choose your zoom level carefully. If you do not need too much detail, 15 will be enough. See http://gis.stackexchange.com/a/7443 for detail which zoom level represents which map scale. For me this setting resulted in 150MB file for an area of ca. 100 square kilometers. Higher zoom level or multiple zoom levels will let this grow exponentially. You will have to test a bit to find the right settings for your purpose. The creation of this mbtile will take a while cause it has to download all the tiles for the area one after another. So better test with a really small area before starting a big download.

Re: [Qgis-user] Showing all items in attributes table

Re: [Qgis-user] Showing all items in attributes table
Am 03.08.2016, 13:25 Uhr, schrieb simonc8 : Thanks for this. The multipart to single part seemed to clean the file as well as show that one of my polylines existed in three separate segments. So the file now contains 8 features whether I open it in QGIS or other programmes. When I was digitising I wanted to use part of one line I'd already digitised in another line, so I made a copy, cut the line and must have incorrectly discarded the unwanted part, or inadvertently made a second copy. If I want to combine my line which is currently in three segments into a single feature how do I do that? Do the different segments have to have identical end points to join properly? (At the moment there are small gaps between the different segments.) Maybe now v.clean is the right tool. I love it ;) Select "snap" there and set the threshold for the estimated width of your gaps + x. If this doesn't work (documentation refers to vertices snapped to lines, not vertices to vertices), try the same, but leave the so threshold low that it will not trigger a snap, but go to the advanced settings and rise the threshold for snapping there. This is a different function in GRASS, where you can perform basic cleaning and snapping while importing the data set into GRASS. I think that you will then still have separate features, but spatially aligned. If your line segments have a common value or id, try "Line dissolve" from SAGA in the toolbox. Anyway, hard to give the proper hints without seeing the data. For me it's always a trial-and-error-game, too.

Re: [Qgis-user] Label buffer rings
Hi Carlos, thanx for pointing me to this. My layer already contained a field "distance" with the buffer rings size. I added x and y fields to the layer, copied the center points x-value with the Info-tool and filled it in for x, and then copied the y-value and added the "distance" value to it in the field calculator. https://ibin.co/2qzJcy2eSDO0.png https://ibin.co/2qzJu8hn4d9A.jpg Anyway it would be nicer to somehow just tell QGIS to label into other directions than left.

[Qgis-user] Composer Atlas: How get rid of the big red cross when there is no image?
Hi, I set up a neat atlas for displaying a row of 50 sample plots. On a second page, I want to show 2 pictures taken of these plots automatically with an expression including the path || @atlas_pagenumber || '_1.jpeg' or '_2.jpeg' to display up to two photos named e.g. 1_1.jpeg, 1_2.jpeg. This works really great! The problem is, that for some plots, we do not and have any picture or only one. In composer, these missing images are marked with a big red cross. Unfortunately, these red crosses are also exported, which looks quite shitty. Is there any clever way of forcing QGIS not to export these place holders but just not to print anything at this place? The only (boring) idea I came up with till now, was to create empty white images and name them accordingly to avoid the red crosses.

Re: [Qgis-user] Plea for help with monochrome maps for publication
Have a look at http://colorbrewer2.org There you can check for grey-scale tones that are distinguishable and printer friendly, so you can set up a palette with those values. The downside of grey scales is, that there are not so many different tones available as when working with colours. Cheers Bernd Am 11.11.2016, 18:26 Uhr, schrieb David Addy : Most of us prepare our maps using colours for different outlines or different colour shades of fill for polygons. However, there are still occasions where maps produced for publication in books or magazines will end up as shades of grey to save the cost of colour printing. This is certainly the case for most of the local history texts for which I am often asked to make maps. This can result in greys which are fairly indistinguishable from each other, and traditionally this issue was approached by adding hatchings to the ‘colour’. This could end up as looking a mess and/or failing to adequately highlight an area of highest activity in distribution maps.

[Qgis-user] Can not edit some fields (2.14.8)
Hi, I encounter a strange problem when trying to edit fields in a layer. I have a polygon layer and a csv list of actions to be taken on these areas. So I joined the attributes with the toolbox to attach the actions to the polygons (NOT joining via properties) Now I have to edit some of the attached data, cause they are false positives (due to multiple matching ids). But some of the attached fields are now not editable, they are just greyed out on the form. When I look at the properties, they are just the same string fields as the others. I thought that this might be some of the ESRI-shape quirks, so I saved the layer to sqlite. There, I was able to edit one polygon (emtpy the attached fields). But after saving the changes, the effect was back again, some fields are greyed out in the form again. I never encountered such a problem before, and I'm quite clueless what to do, and of course I am in a big hurry. See attached screenshot of the fields. Anyone an idea what might be the problem or how to work around this?

But now I cannot change the data source encoding in the properties dialog anymore. I think it should still be possible to change the encoding in the properties dialog. Peter Hi Peter, welcome to the Babylon of computer stone age ;) I think a lot of people share your confusion with codepages. Your "system" encoding is that of your Windows, so presumably (in Western Europe) windows-1252 or CP1252 or ISO 8859-15. On a Linux system, it is normally UTF-8. I often run into problems with the encoding on my Linux system when dealing with files from Windows systems and vice versa. Having files of mixed encodings in a project is a nightmare. Those problems also seem to derive from files like gpx, kml etc. which always seem to be generated using UTF-8. So even when I decide to handle everthing in Windows-style and convert files to windows-1252, those UTF-8 files bring in problems. Same with the processing toolbox, where some algos happily switch the output encoding. When unchecking „Ignore shapefile encoding declaration“, UTF-8 seems to be used internally (see https://hub.qgis.org/issues/11019). But I have problems understanding all this, and worse, QGIS seems to not understand all this as well all the time. P.s. Haven't touched ArcGIS for years.

The biggest problem for users is to rethink the workflow from the end to the beginning and to know the limitations. The outcome should be a point layer with the polygons attributes. If those points (layer A) are from GPS as Randy assumes, they have to be reprojected to the parcels layer (layer B) before being able to join them spatially(layer C). The spatial join in the toolbox produces layer D. Most probably, the resulting layer D is going to to be edited in some way (adding notes about size, the progress, classifications, whatever), so you will have to find a way to preserve those new attribute while being able to add new points without much trouble. The processing toolbox is a good way to do these steps, 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.

[Qgis-user] Fwd: [R-sig-Geo] RQGIS release 0.2.0
Hi, just wanted to forward this email from the r-sig-geo mailing list about interfacing QGIS from R. Maybe it is of interest for some. --- Weitergeleitete Nachricht --- Von: "Jannes Münchow" An: r-sig-...@r-project.org Kopi Dear list members, today we are happy to announce a new version of RQGIS! RQGIS establishes an interface between R and QGIS, i.e. it allows the user to access the more than 1000 QGIS geoalgorithms from within R. The most important news is that you can run again the most recent QGIS releases (>=2.18.2) with RQGIS without having to modify Python source code. This modification became necessary due to a bug introduced in QGIS 2.16 (see https://github.com/jannes-m/RQGIS#rqgis-modifications-v-216-2181). This release fixes also several bugs which we detected thanks to user feedback. To learn more about these, please refer to https://github.com/jannes-m/RQGIS/releases/tag/v0.2.0. For more information on RQGIS, how to install it and examples how to use RQGIS, please refer to https://github.com/jannes-m/RQGIS and my https://jannesm.wordpress.com/category/r/.

Re: [Qgis-user] Porblems with labeling Coordinate grid and the numbers-Change
Hi Stefan, I can't answer to your questions, cause I have real difficulties understanding your problems. I just can advise you to switch your QGIS language to English under "Settings/Options/Locale", so you are able to use the correct terminology in English when posting questions and searching for answers. It would always be good to have screen shots to be able to visualize the problems, but as the mailing list has a limit of 100kb for attachments, it's sometimes hard to do so. A better resource for help on such things IMHO is stackexchange.

Hi, did you already try to create a new joined layer with the processing toolbox instead of creating a "loose" join with Properties/Joins?

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS 2.18
Hi Martin, as far as I remember, there was a discussion about the different modes of the toolbox, and most agreed that they were not really useful, so they got removed.

Hi Pattrick, sorry, but I do not understand what you are talking about. I'm running the nightlies of the development version and have the ubuntugis-unstable ppa activated. GRASS and SAGA are present in the ppa and are running individually without a problem. They are just not available through QGIS processing. As the nightlies are built frequently, any changes on ubuntugis should be adopted to within a short time. But there are still no providers for GRASS and SAGA. What does this have to do with the version of my OS? All necessary sources derive directly from qgis.org or ubuntugis-unstable, as far as I can see.

[Qgis-user] How to create a spatial view with spatialite-gui?
Hi, I am trying to create a spatial view in spatialite-gui. The not funny thing is: It doesn't work. For you to test: Just import a layer from QGIS into a spatialite database. Connect to the database in spatialite-gui. Right-click on the DB and start the "Query/View Composer" Tab Main: Select your layer in "Main Table" an mark all displayed columns. Tab View: Just skip tother tabs and simply replicate you layer as a spatial view by selecting "Create Spatial View"[could be used as a GIS Layer". The input to select the geometry column (in my case "geom", which was also selected in the Main Tab) get active, so select it. Give a name to your new view, and the SQL statement should be ready by now. Click OK. Result: The created view lacks all spatial stuff and imports into QGIS as a dumb table. I remember having tried this years ago already, searching the web high and low for answers, but it hard to find a lot about spaialite at all. Is this all a bug or just a feature or am I just too stupid to see the obvious? Any hints and references to useful documtes highly appreciated!

Hi, Am 27.10.2017, 19:29 Uhr, schrieb Louise Duffy : I don't know if this is the correct format for asking these questions, so please re-direct me as needed. I am used ArcMap for many years to perform pretty basic stuff, but I am not finding QGIS to be as easy of a transition as I had hoped. I am now self->employed, doing some part time consulting for a few clients and I do not have the budget to buy ESRI products, especially when QGIS has such promise. QGIS is for free, but it will cost you sth neverthelless: Time (while ArcMap costs you money AND time) In the past, my normal use of GIS was to pretty focused on being able to connect dots from GPS data, digitize features using aerial photography and other >basemaps. Producing a variety of maps for projects that included exported tables of that data to show coordinates, lengths, area or other characteristics. I think this is what the majority of QGIS users do as well. I downloaded QGIS version 2.14.19-Essen. I am not familiar with programming languages, scripts or other behind the scenes stuff. When I have looked at >tutorials QGIS has, the screens do not match what I see or the process does not work as expected. I don't know if I am missing something with the install or >just need a friendly guide to point the way. QGIS has a very fast development, so resources often can't keep the pace and get outdated. But as Patrick mentioned, https://gis.stackexchange.com is good resource to find answers and learn, or even ask own questions (after proving that you could not find a suitable answer there). Right now, I specifically need help with four things: In some parts, QGIS workflows still require the use of plugins. add basemaps from external sources (aerial, street, usgs quad), For adding basemaps, install QuickkMapServices (which by default only ships a few basmaps, so you can extend it through the plugins settings: Settings/More services -> Get contributed pack) ArcMap folks tend to think that the ESRI-way is the only valid way to do things. QGIS does not "pollute" your attribute table with the informations you are used to have and now ask for, but you can add them quickly. calculate/display area of polygons in attribute table; Open attribute table, open field calculator, create new field "area", pick format/field length/precision. In the search field to the right, enter "area". The search shows you e.g. "$area" under "Geometry". Just double-click on $area", it shows up in the expression field -> OK add X,Y coordinates of existing points to attribute table; Do similar with a new x and y field: search for x, double-click $x (and have a look at all the other functions available) etc etc. Or even easier: Click Processing in the Menu bar, Activate the Toolbox, Search for "Add": Under QGIS geoalgorithms -> Vector table tools, you will find Export/Add geometry columns. This will not change your original dataset, but creates a new temporary copy (which you will have to make permanent later by "Save as...) search for and add points based on X,Y coordinates. Right-click somewhere in the Menu bar and activate the "Advanced digitizing panel" Make your point layer editable enable advanced digitizing tools (look at the popup-hints that show when hovering the symbols. The x and y fields get active. Enter your coordinates and lock them (with the lock symbol). You get a cross-hair showing the position. Digitizing toolbar: add feature. Click somewhere in the canvas, the new point will be created at the cross-hair position. Thanks!

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS to Blender - Converter / free global elevation mesh dataset
Hi Michael,
I installed the plugin an tried to test it.
So far I got no results. I tried it with a clip of a DEM of 10km radius of
the EUR_DEM Dataset.
Seems it does not want to finish, the log sais for a while {"percent":
99.93917274939103, "status_desc": "Calculating row 821 of 822"}
Maybe you could write some general recommendations about which sizes to
use, caveats etc (aka a "little" help file ;))

Dear mailing list members,
I'd like to announce 'geoTriMesh', a Python module I wrote to convert
GIS data to the Blender 3D suite. It has full support for donut and
multipolygons as well as coordinate systems. It works by creating a
topological mesh by triangulating coordinate information from the
polygon and merging it with elevation and color raster data. The result
is written to X3D to be imported into Blender (or other 3D modelling
environments). VTK unstructured grids for visulisation in ParaView are
also supported.
It's free (Apache License) and available as Python Module (installable
via pip) as well as QGIS Plugin:
https://github.com/flatpolar
Also, I used the library to create a global elevation mesh dataset
(spherical and flat projection), which can be downloaded here and used
for private or commercial 3D modelling projects (CC-BY license):
http://flatpolar.org/tocomee.html
A detailed description of the dataset is available here:

I'm happy to receive feedback.

Hi Bernd,
Admittedly, geoTriMesh does get rather slow when using "larger" input

smaller subsets.
For testing purposes, I included some sample files within the download,
you can find them in the plugin-directory
(\geoTriMeshQGIS>\lib\geotrimesh\demodata). For a low resolution test
run, you can use, for example:
Bondaries: 'osm_2017_pottenstein_simple.shp'
DEM: 'gtopo30_1996_clip_pottenstein.tif'
Orthofoto: 'bmng_2004_clip_pottenstein.tif'
It should not take longer than a couple of seconds.
I totally agree that a little help file would be useful. I will see to
writing some more documentation in the near future.
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
I installed the plugin an tried to test it.
So far I got no results. I tried it with a clip of a DEM of 10km radius
of the EUR_DEM Dataset.
Seems it does not want to finish, the log sais for a while {"percent":
99.93917274939103, "status_desc": "Calculating row 821 of 822"}
Maybe you could write some general recommendations about which sizes to
use, caveats etc (aka a "little" help file ;))
Cheers
Bernd

Re: [Qgis-user] Greek characters in attribute table

[Qgis-user] Win7 64bit: GRASS-plugin nearly nonfunctional (Bernd Vogelgesang)
Hi there, i tried really everything, but the grass plugin really gives me a hard time. First i used a fresh osgeo4w installer advanced: loading a layer is fine when not using advanced options, doing stuff like v.clean.bpol makes grass and qgis freeze in 80% of the time, mostly reporting that it can't delete a hist-file or other problems. Uninstalled everything and used the desktop version: same problems Unistalled that completely and used the standalone version: no luck I'm really desperate now. I have to clean up lots of messy polygons drawn by someone with google earth, and the grass plugin for me is the only way to solve that. Any ideas what might cause that problem on Win7? It seams to me that Grass is somehow not fully allowed to write/delete stuff there. This happens to me on 2 different Win7 64bit machines, so i assume i can't be the only one facing these problems!

[Qgis-user] Annoying CRS-Problem with EPSG 31468 / 2167
Hi there, in Germany, we still quite often have Gauss-Krüger 4 projection for the source data from clients, formerly edited with ArcGIS. QGIS obviously has some problems with GK4 (EPSG:31468) When i import a shape with a .prj-file from ArcGIS, it doesn't promt for the crs, but immediately loads the shape. The tricky think is: if you do not check the crs manually every time, you run into chaos, cause QGIS always sets the crs to "Pulkovo 1942(83) / Gauss Krueger zone 4 (deprecated)" (EPSG:2167) which has quite an offset to the other crs. I'm quite confident that it's not a problem of the prj-file from ArcGIS, cause when i import a GK4-Layer into GRASS, there set the crs to GK4 as well, do my stuff and then send it back the result to QGIS, there the former EPSG 31468-Layer again is set to EPSG 2167 too !!! Has anyone an idea how to prevent this or what's the reason for this? It's really annoying and quite hard to explain to clients to check everytime the crs when they load a layer file.

[Qgis-user] Re: Donations -> Knowledge mananagment platform
A.S: err ... only replied to Gary directly ... really don't know how to work with mailing lists:Hi Gary,hope my non-diplomatic style is not too embarrassing.Now, the mailing list here seems to be the place for the power users and developers, but how do i retrieve infos from that? i already store all those mails and try to do local text search in my mail client, to find answers. But here, the threads are scattered over several digests, and i can't see a way how to get a grip on that in more structured way.The forum seems to be mainly used by novice users, who get answers by a handful of advanced people.The default forum settings are set that you won't get an email notification when someone is answering, so a huge amount of threads die, because the thread-initiators and participants don't get aware that there is something going on. I already asked to change that, but to no avail so far.Then, there are only 3 really useful categories (from the users point of view): Help on using QGIS Build and Install questionsShare Tips, Tricks and Ideas Here most of the communication is done in the first.It's very hard to find threads about a special problem, cause all the topics are just stuffed into one big bucket and novice users often lack the terminology to do successful full-text search to find answers.Solved problems are mostly not marked as such, so you have to do a lot of reading and searching which ends up very often with no results.Then there is this wiki(http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/How_do_I_do_that_in_QGIS), which is in a concurrence to the "Share Tips, Tricks and Ideas" and it seems that there is not a lot going on too.(besides, writing an article and writing an article in a wiki where you need just another account are two different things and which rejects a lot of people)What i propose is a platform with a single login, which combines all those functions of the forum, mailing lists and wikis.Posts of any kind should be able to be tagged with an activly developed hierachical taxonomy for easier retrieval and interconnection of different types of content.Especially the enormous modularity of QGIS with all its plugins needs a better and more structured way of getting informations of what this and that modules does, what which setting means, what bugs people found, how they found workarounds etc. All this could be accessible just by one taxonomy term with the name of the modul for example, spiced up with sorting for popularity, ratings or whatever.There should also be a group system for different audiences, projects, interests, languages (not everyone is a fluent english reader or writer) so people are able to pick the stuff that suits them and subscribe to certain groups, taxonomy terms, projects, events, working fields etc. and get notified in a structured way when something of their interest had occured.The easier the access to already produced knowledge, the more likely it will be that some people take the effort and collect the bits for own articles, tutorials, working examples etc.I never managed to build sth that i propose myself so far, but i invest quite a time investigating "better" ways to connect communities and generate and preserve knowledge.By doing so, i stumbled upon drupal some years ago, where i see a lot of tools (nearly too many) to build sth that would provide all means to develope a communication and knowledge management strategy.There maybe other platforms, but drupal is the only one i know enough about to be sure that it could solve a lot of issues with a modest investment in time and infrastructure.Thanks for your timeBerndAm 27.03.2012, 20:34 Uhr, schrieb Gary Sherman :>> On Mar 27, 2012, at 10:25 AM, Bernd Vogelgesang wrote:>>> There are more modern and sustainable ways for exchanging knowledge and >> provide user interaction than this.

[Qgis-user] Re: SEXTANTE for QGIS has been released
I know sextante from gvSIG already, and i think its main idea is, to provide a toolbox like in ArcGIS. The current plugin/functions management in QGIS is a bit "chaotic", in the 1.9-version, the plugins are much better sorted according to their scope already. But the sextante-concept seems to be even more user friendly from the start (with search function , functions sorted into trees, not having to fumble through menus and sub-menus when repeating functions) Of course, like with all software functions, you will have to learn how to use them by testing. I have really no idea whats technically behind it, and how good it will integrate into QGIS, or just represents a concurring concept, but i would prefer the sextante-way to become the default one in qgis. Ok, then QGIS will just look like another ArcGIS, but what ? ;) Having kind of model-builder coming with it will be also great news for a lot of people having to perform boring repetitive work all the time. In one word: GREAT ! ;) Bernd Hi Would it be possible to give a 10 000 mile overview of what Sextante does?

If I have to go and read about a product to understand what it does after having seen a tv advert then it has failed. I should not be doing reading to understand what the product does but should be reading to get a better understanding of how the product can be applicable to my specific problem.

[Qgis-user] Re: Closure of forum
Hi,I'm a bit shocked about what my small remark on maybe spending some donations on creating a knowledgebase for QGIS set loose.My observation is, that the acting people still focus on their prefered tools and ways of communication, and only want to make quick changes and maybe set another link here or there.The ones are happy with mailing lists, the others wanna move more to wikis and the next think that stackexchange is the solution.But my point was not about using existing stuff, but building something completely new, which really fits the needs and is not only a compromise of whats available and what is needed.A forum is no wiki, a wiki can't be used as a ticket system, a mailing list can't serve as "best practice" collection ...I understand, that you all don't want to waste much time on creating such things, but use already available services.And I'm 100% sure that developers shouldn't waste their valuable time on those things anyway, but do what they can do best: develop QGIS!From the users perspective (and i think thats the goal: to use the great things you all develop) this hole fragmented infrastructure has no "face" and it's really confusing.What is really missing is the "glue" between those tools, to make it easier for people to contribute.All this takes a lot of time to take care of, which most people don't have.Thats why i proposed to maybe spend donations for building a community platform, where all functions could be easily found and maintained.I can imagine that a lot of people don't like that idea for their reasons, but i think that's what QGIS really deserves!I'm just another ambitioned QGIS-user and no professional in this field, but i'm sure that if "WE" would decide to go that way, that other people are being found who can help bring things forward. At least we should try ...I myself will find the necessary infos sooner or later using google, but i'm sure that there are thousands of people outside who have no idea about QGIS's potential and value and who will get lost on their way to find answers ...ThanxBernd ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Re: [Qgis-user] any ideas how to get data from attribute table out of qgis
I can highly recommend using spatialite databases! (postgis seems to be THE solution for all professionals, but spatialite has the charms that even noobs can do it!) QGIS handles "big" datasets from shape files quite inefficient and a lot of actions just lead to a frozen application. The same is valid for exporting data i fear. I found a workaround that is a bit complicated, but is much faster and more reliable than trying to do it with the core mechanisms. 1. create a spatialite database and import your shape: For this i use the spatialite-gui.exe (http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/). Its faster and more reliable than the Qspatialite-plugin! With the Qspatialite-plugin, connect to the database-file and load your table as a layer into qgis. 2. Now you can do whatever you want with your attributes. Changes are saved directly into the sqlite database. 3. Export your data: In the spatialite-gui, right click on your table and export the data to txt, csv, dbf etc etc Before i'm able to use postgis in the future, i will for sure use spatialite for all my qgis-work, cause it saved me hours of pain and mostly did what i wanted (and i didn't even discover more than the obvious functionalities yet) -- Bernd Vogelgesang * Siedlerstrasse 2 * 91083 Baiersdorf * +49-9133-825374 ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] Add table excel and categorize
Hi, 1. adding a csv is not the same like loading a shape. So you can't edit it. Loading as dbf should give you write permissions (OpenOffice/Libre Office still offer dbf support, while new Excel versions don't) 2. I assume you joined the csv to an existing layer? In QGIS 2.0, the joined columns are presented for classification, in 1.8 you will (i think) have to make the join permanent by saving the joined layer to a new one. Then, all attributes are editable as well.

When you use 2.0 (at least), you might have better luck importing the csv through Layers -> Add delimited text file instead of drag-and-drop into the ToC. There QGIS tries to guess the field type.

[Qgis-user] One-to-many Spatial View in Spatialite. Attribute table doesn't show records as desired
Hi there, I have a polygon layer with an id and a table with multiple species observations on that same id(area) in spatialite I managed to create a spatial view and load it within QGIS. When I use the identification tool on a polygon, all species observations show up correctly in the info tool window, but for browsing these informations, this is not really the best representation. The attribute table on the other hand would be much better to read the infos, but here, all species entries connected with one feature are replaced by the first species data only (e.g. instead of 25 different birds, it shows one entry 25 times. Is this a bug or a feature or are there other tricks to get tabular data of all those entries i can see with the identification tool? The goal is to get a way for a collegue to select a polygon, and immedately see all species found there in a tabular form.

I have no time to test now, but from what I recall, this does not work :

Maybe you want to give it a last try. I can testify I have some

Another method is running a SELECT query in the DB Manager in QGIS,

view, but depending on what you need, it could be enough.
Hi Olivier,
added ROWID to the VIEW. Same result in QGIS.
I also performed the select in the DB Manager as you proposed. When
executed, it perfectly show the results i would like to see in the

as layer is again the duplication of the the first entry for ROWID of
the polygon.
So, this is my select: Anything important missing?
SELECT "a"."ROWID" AS "ROWID", "a"."Geometry" AS "Geometry",
"b"."zahl" AS "zahl", "b"."jahr" AS "jahr", "b"."art" AS "art",

Hi Olivier,
thank you for trying to help,

really a problem creating views, but more making these functional in
QGIS. Your example, as far as i understand, lacks a join-part
completely, but thats the culprit I fear.
I uploaded my testdb to dropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8b1g97qu3us15tq/asktest3.sqlite
There is only layer, a view and the table.
Could anyone try it out?
When you query the view with SELECT * FROM "Testview22" , I see the list
of observation I would like also to see in the QGIS attribute table, but
this just doesn't work. It also show 746 rows, but only 37 distinct sets
of information.

Re: [Qgis-user] Spatialite VIEW in QGIS question
Dear folks,
thanks a lot for all who tried to help.
I have a working solution now, which I will hopefuly be able to forge
into some script, so all steps for many layers will run more automatic.
I maybe had other working solutions before, but I made the mistake and
didn't see that I had selected the "one object only" selection mode in
QGIS ... so of course it only picked the most up laying polygon and
couldn't show me more info than just one row in the attribute table ...
too bad.
Sandro Furieri was so kind to help me along as well
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?shva=1#inbox/144507c0ecb4c392
The things that were important: not to have a ROWID in the joined table,
but rename it
Creating a table instead of a view. ("... SQL VIEWs are rather
extravagant and whimsical objects, and they could
easily introduce many hard-to-be-solved undesired side effects. ...")
So as a sample for one of my layers, it looks like this now:
CREATE VIEW View_PUNKTE AS
SELECT a.ROWID AS ROWID, a.Geometry AS Geometry, b.ora_nachweis_id AS
ora_nachweis_id, b.zahl AS zahl, b.jahr AS jahr, b.art AS art, b.sta AS sta
FROM ASK_PUNKTE AS a JOIN ask_art AS b USING (id);
INSERT INTO views_geometry_columns (view_name, view_geometry,
view_rowid, f_table_name, f_geometry_column, read_only) VALUES
('view_punkte', 'geometry', 'rowid', 'ask_punkte', 'geometry',1);
CREATE TABLE Abfrage_PUNKTE AS
SELECT rowid AS old_rowid, Geometry, ora_nachweis_id, zahl, jahr, art, sta
FROM View_PUNKTE;
SELECT RecoverGeometryColumn('Abfrage_PUNKTE', 'geometry', 31468,
'MULTIPOINT', 'XY');
SELECT CreateSpatialIndex('Abfrage_PUNKTE', 'geometry');
I have now finally realized/accepted, that there is NO WAY to avoid
duplication of geometries (very very sad) for 1:n relations in QGIS, so
this really bloats the layers ... but thats life.
Maybe I could skip some of this and make a table directly from a select,
but I'm happy with at least one working solution.
Now i will try and put all this into a batch script that will generate
me those layers automagically cause filling in all the separate commands
for several layers is boring, time consuming an error prone.
So thanx mates,
Bernd

Re: [Qgis-user] Spatialite VIEW in QGIS question

Bernd -
I think, that you have misunderstood some of the basic tenets of
relational database technology:
If you establish a straight 1:n relationships in a
relational database (as SQLite, SpatiaLite or
Postgres/PostGis) you'll get at least n rows in the resulting
view; if you want it otherwise you'll have to use aggregate
functions to group and aggregate your results
If you want to select 1 row in a main table and afterwards
have a look at n rows in a sub-table that's related to the
main table by some common field(s) - that's the
responsibility of the presentation layer meaning Access, Excel
or QGIS . But QGIS hasn't this functionality before ver. 2.2
(which isn't released yet).
If you want the above mentioned function in QGIS, you have to wait
for QGIS 2.2 or download some bleeding edge QGIS like QGIS Weekly
(http://qgis.org/downloads/weekly/) . Look at this article:

Hi Bo,yes, I misunderstood that obviously, or i was "hoping" that those things were already easier in the year of 2014 ;)Anyway, found a working solution my collegue is happy with. I also tested with master yesterday after reading the link about qgis relations, but trying this only crashed the system.But we all are awaiting a bright future with easy to establish 1:n relations, I'm sure of that, and then nothing will stop me ;)ThanxBernd

Dear
folks,
thanks a lot for all who tried to help.
I have a working solution now, which I will hopefuly be able to
forge into some script, so all steps for many layers will run more
automatic.
I maybe had other working solutions before, but I made the mistake
and didn't see that I had selected the "one object only" selection
mode in QGIS ... so of course it only picked the most up laying
polygon and couldn't show me more info than just one row in the
attribute table ... too bad.
Sandro Furieri was so kind to help me along as well

The things that were important: not to have a ROWID in the joined
table, but rename it
Creating a table instead of a view. ("... SQL VIEWs are rather
extravagant and whimsical objects, and they could
easily introduce many hard-to-be-solved undesired side effects.
...")
So as a sample for one of my layers, it looks like this now:
CREATE VIEW View_PUNKTE AS
SELECT a.ROWID AS ROWID, a.Geometry AS Geometry, b.ora_nachweis_id
AS ora_nachweis_id, b.zahl AS zahl, b.jahr AS jahr, b.art AS art,
b.sta AS sta
FROM ASK_PUNKTE AS a JOIN ask_art AS b USING (id);
INSERT INTO views_geometry_columns (view_name, view_geometry,
view_rowid, f_table_name, f_geometry_column, read_only) VALUES
('view_punkte', 'geometry', 'rowid', 'ask_punkte', 'geometry',1);
CREATE TABLE Abfrage_PUNKTE AS
SELECT rowid AS old_rowid, Geometry, ora_nachweis_id, zahl, jahr,
art, sta
FROM View_PUNKTE;
SELECT RecoverGeometryColumn('Abfrage_PUNKTE', 'geometry', 31468,
'MULTIPOINT', 'XY');
SELECT CreateSpatialIndex('Abfrage_PUNKTE', 'geometry');
I have now finally realized/accepted, that there is NO WAY to
avoid duplication of geometries (very very sad) for 1:n relations
in QGIS, so this really bloats the layers ... but thats life.
Maybe I could skip some of this and make a table directly from a
select, but I'm happy with at least one working solution.
Now i will try and put all this into a batch script that will
generate me those layers automagically cause filling in all the
separate commands for several layers is boring, time consuming an
error prone.
So thanx mates,
Bernd

Hi folks,
I'm quite desperate, cause I do not seem to understand what I'm
doing wrong, or if it's just not possible to do.
I have a polygon layer in my spatialite database and a normal
table with bird obse
