Re: [Qgis-user] Grass lib
I did not need to recompile grass. I just used pexports tool to generate def files. And Finally I have a QGIS and its plugins(grass also) totally compiled with MS Visual Studio. :) thanx guys.

I'm running WinXP SP2 on a 32 bit Intel. I have QGIS 0.8.1 installed in
'c:\QGIS_0.8.1_rc1\' and I have QGIS 0.9.0 installed in
'c:\QGIS_0.9.0_26.10.2007\'. I used your Windows installer
(ghydraulic-setup-2.0.0.exe) and installed in
'c:\QGIS_0.9.0_26.10.2007\python\plugins\ghydraulic\'.
The problem I have is that your plugin is not registered properly in
QGIS 0.9.0. In the plugin manager I see __error__ under the name,
version and description.

This is my first encounter with your plugin so I am not yet sure of its
capabilities. At this stage let's assume I will launch the plugin from
within QGIS and use the command line.

In the economicdiameter.py script I find the following:
# Supply path to where is your QGIS installed
QgsApplication.setPrefixPath("c:/Programme/Quantum GIS", True)
In several of the binary *.pyc files I find the same path prefix. E.g.
in ghydraulicplugin.pyc I find the following:
'C:/Programme/Quantum GIS/python/plugins\ghydraulic\ghydraulicplugin.pyt'
The only place I have found 'c:\program files' is in the README.

I don't think there is any way to enter points by typing text coordinates. The usual use of 'New Vector Layer' is to first load a raster layer map and then click on locations to create a vector overlay. Since you already have text coordinates, another approach is to use a text editor to create a MapInfo MIF file. This is a text format which can be opened by QGIS thanks to the underlying GDAL/OGR library. You could also use the ogr2ogr utility to convert it to some other format after you create it.

I have a patch which is essentially complete but I don't have the capability to build QGIS for Windows. If you or someone else can do a source build, I would be interested in finding out if the patch fixes your problem. The patch currently has two deficiencies which probably don't affect you: 1.) errors are not reported until one or two refreshes later. 2.) the indirection code for layers which return urls instead of bitmaps has not been tested. The refresh problem arises from the fact that the WMS layer is not requested until after the redraw cycle begins. Om a Mac (and probbably Windows too, based upon your observations), drawing cannot be interrupted to do something else -- either you already possess the bitmap or you don't start drawing. The reason you don't see the image until some future action is that the WMS image don't show up until after the refresh cycle that requested it has competed. > On an Ubuntu machine with the debian binary (Thanks to Jachym Cepicky!), > pulling layers from the same WMS server, I don't see this behavior at all. The reason it works using Ubuntu is that X11 was designed as a client/server display system. Since the display doesn't need to be on the same machine as the application, X11 is most likely not confounded by network requests inside draw events. The fix I made is to remove the synchronous network request inside the draw event with async requests which must be completed before starting to draw. This also speeds things up for multiple WMS layers since all layers are requested in parallel rather than serially. > BTW, displaying layers using the WFS plugin from the same server works > well on both systems. The WFS plugin doesn't make network requests inside draw events so the problem doesn't happen for WFS. One further request from readers: does anyone know of a WMS server that returns an indirect pointer rather then a bitmap? The main reason I haven't submitted this patch previously is that I haven't been able to test that situation. Alternatively, I could add a message "Indirect retrieval temporarily disabled: send a url if you would like this feature back."

Re: [Qgis-user] [QGIS-USER]: GHydraulic plugin, calculate economic diameters
Hi Craig, did you use the Windows installer? Or the tarball? I assume that you are running Quantum GIS on Windows. Do you want to use the Plug-in menu/button from within Quantum GIS or the economicdiameter.py script on the commandline? I've searched the *.py source files for "program files" and the only place where "c:\program files" is used, is the economicdiameter.py script. I'll try to update this in the next installer release during the install process with the actual QGIS installation location. The Windows installer tries to look up the QGIS installation path from the registry (location of the uninstaller). I forgot to mention this. So people who have not used the Windows installer for Quantum GIS might experience some problems. In this case, you can specify the installation location on the commandline. For example: ghydraulic-setup-2.0.0.exe /D=c:\Quantum GIS\python\plugins In case this example does not help you, please provide your Quantum GIS installation location.

AFAIK it's not possible to compile GRASS with VS - people compile it with MinGW.

[Qgis-user] Upload georeferenced image in GPS
Sorry if X-posting occurs : I hadn't registered to the list before I sent this and the "The original message you sent to the newsgroup will be posted within ten minutes" is now over an hour and a half old. Trying again. Hi All, I'm new to this list ! I watched the video showing how to use the GPS Tools plug-in to download waypoints from a GPS receiver and upload a route (http://qgis.org/flash/flashwrapper.php?filename=gpx_demo.swf) and then I tried it with success (except it was a bit of a pain to get Windows to see my GPS receiver to begin with). I have a couple of questions about uploading data into a GPS receiver for which I haven't found much documentation. First, when one uploads a route, one sees a number of 'RPT*' points that correspond to the vertices of the route. Is there a way to see a line connecting those points in the GPS ? Is there a setting I missed in the GPS Tools plugin ? Second, one of the use cases we have here is to shove some very specific large scale cartographic information of small areas that people are sent in the field to check for their validity. For example, someone does a photo-interpretation of wetlands for an area. We digitize the result and we use a GIS to superimpose relevant layers (roads, rivers, etc.) with adequate symbology. Once that is done, we make an image (.IMG) out of it and upload it to the GPS. The result is that a small square shows up and as one zooms in on sees the image. Someone in the field is charged with highlighting delineation differences as waypoints. Of course, it's a static graphic plane so we can't query objects on it, but the purpose really is to give a close-up geaographical picture of a small area without having a detailed layer for a whole continent. Our current procudure for this second point involves two pieces of software : - GPSMapEdit (http://www.geopainting.com/en/) to put the map together with labels and symbology, which results in an uploadable IMG file - MapUpload (http://mapwel.biz/down.htm) which allows up to upload the IMG files to a Garmin only GPS receiver Two issues I have are : 1) MapUpload only works for Garmin products and 2) both those software packages are non free, one being freeware and the other providing some access to the source but with pretty stringent licensing requirements.
