Re: [Qgis-user] Plugin List
My thought was the plugin home page would contain all the extra information, rather than trying to capture that in the repository. On the other the other hand, you can enter as much descriptive text as you like when you upload a plugin. I do think that at a minimum a README should be included. -gary On Oct 28, 2007, at 11:50 PM, Richard Duivenvoorde wrote: > > Hi Gary, > > What about some stuff you also want to share?

[Qgis-user] help with automating import of postGIS layers
hi all, I am working on a project where it is important to update some entities regularly over the time. I have managed to feed the lat / long values of these entities to a postGIS DB as and when it changes. I would like to know is there way of automating the loading of the data from the postGIS table to Quantum GIS, without having to load it manually. That is to say, can I write some kind of script which will keep checking the table for any changes and load the data if there are any changes in the table. That way I will be able to show to the users that Q GIS can dynamically update the locations of the entities. thanks in advance nishith __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi, in my opinion the best way is to create universal zip files which can be used either directly by users (to download the plugin and run it, without any more problems) and also by users (e.g. it will include also some documentation and source files like .ui or .qrc). Moreover it would be great to use some common naming scheme for directories inside the plugin, e.g.: doc/ ... contains some additional information about the plugin resources/ ... additional files like images ui/ ... Qt UI files Maybe some more conventions could be thought. Of course this shouldn't be something compulsory, just a recommended convention.

[Qgis-user] creating shape files
Hi there, This should be an easy one I hope: I'm wanting to create shape files (polygon shapes, line shapes, multi point shapes) and simply wish to type in the desired lat and long coordinates for each vertex or point. How do I type in my desired vertex coordinates? I'm using the 'New Vector Layer' and 'Capture Polygon' buttons to get a polygon shape going, but can't seem to see where you type in your desired vertex coordinates. (Using Quantum GIS 0.9.0 on a PowerPC Mac running OSX 10.4.10) Thanks for the help, Rick ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.qgis.org http://lists.qgis.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
