Hi Tara I'm guessing you are probably going to need PyQt installed on your computer (and by extension Qt too). Martin or Aaron will probably be able to better confirm this.

[Qgis-user] closing bugs
Hi all. I had a look to the bug list, and I think many of them are no longer valid. I would urge all those who reported a bug to check whether it is still valid, and if not, to close them. This is important, both for users (who do not get lost in a swamp of would-be bugs) and for developers, who can concentrate on the real ones. Having 200 open bugs is no good for anyone. Please make a little effort.

Re: [Qgis-user] python plugin on windows
Hi Tara, don't know if I can make it more clear, but on Linux this command 'pyrcc4' is in you PATH when you installed PyQt. On windows, it's possible that these binaries are not in your path. With me they were found here: C:\program files\Python25\pyrcc4.exe after installing. So you either call it by using the full path to it, or you add the path to python binaries to your PATH environment variable (I would do that...). The bigger picture: # QtDesigner4 will give you an '.ui' file # This .ui file is compiled using pyuic4 to a python source file containing the gui python class definition # You'll need pyrcc4 for generating a python resource file (will hold your images/icons etc) # You can then define your own class (inheriting from the gui class file above AND QDialog and add event/signal handlers to it No need to build stuff from source. Docs for PyQt4 (handy for some code examples...): http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html other resources: http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/DevelopingPluginsWithPython http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/PythonPluginCodeSnippets and qgis wiki and blog or download some plugins from: http://spatialserver.net:3001/ and look into the source code for example: http://spatialserver.net/pyqgis/plugins/imagemap_plugin_v0.2.zip this is a python plugin with gui and resources (there is also some docs in the zip). http://spatialserver.net/pyqgis/plugins/rasterinfo.zip is an ever simpler example. Hope this helps you something Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde Tara Athan wrote: I have PyQt GPL v4.3.3 installed, but I don't know how to make it perform this task (of compiling the resource file).

[Qgis-user] Short Training Initiative 'Free and Open Source Software Tools for Geomatics', 18 to 29-august-2008, Leuven, Belgium
Dear Members, I would like to announce the short training on Free and Open Source Geomatics tools for Land evaluation and Land use planning with emphasis on the Quantum-GIS and GRASS-software 18 to 29 August 2008 in Leuven, Belgium The short training is meant to help participants to: • Obtain an up-to-date overview of available FOSS4G-solutions and evaluate their potential; • Acquire hands-on experience with two WINDOWS-based packages of FOSS4G: Quantum-GIS and GRASS; • Identify strong and weak points of these FOSS4G-packages and ways to handle them; • Explore the possibilities to extend the Quantum-GIS-functionalities by means of plug-in programming using the Python language. The training programme comprises four modules and is conceived in a ‘Self and group exploration’ and ‘Train the Trainer’ spirit. • 12 scholarships are available via VLIR-UOS. These scholarships are dedicated to people from the south who have no links with VLIR-programmes nor with other development cooperation initiatives. • 8 places are reserved for people involved in active VLIR-projects. • The remaining seats are reserved for participants from the north with variety of fees according to the preferred module. Subscription is possible until 31-march-2008. The full announcement is available at (http://www.sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/VLIR_KOI_en.htm). You can also find some impressions of last year’s issue of the training. If you require more information about this initiative, you can contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kind regards, Course coordinator ir.

Hi all 2008/1/31, Richard Duivenvoorde [EMAIL PROTECTED]: # You'll need pyrcc4 for generating a python resource file (will hold your images/icons etc) Just a small ammendment - as far as I know this is resource file is not python specific but rather Qt specific - which means for example Qt/C++ and Qt/python should be able to read icons etc from it.

Re: [Qgis-user] error using the stand alone app Oceanmap

2. try to find QGIS in some default paths (/usr, /usr/local on linux
or ${PROGRAM_FILES}/Quantum GIS on windows etc.) or try to use a
previously saved path to QGIS installation from QSettings
3. if no installation has been found, fire up a simple UI in PyQt and
let the user select the installation directory.
I would like to come up with something in the same direction:
In both apps presented in this thread everything seems to be relying on
the path that is hardcoded into qgislite.py and mainwindow.py
repectivly. The variable used is qgis_prefix = /usr/local/qgis_svn
(line 55).
I do not use a svn version of qgis. Instead I use the Ubuntu packages:
whereis qgis
qgis: /usr/bin/qgis /usr/lib/qgis /usr/share/qgis
Due to some to me unknown reason, the standalone apps and python
tutorials only work on my Ubuntu box when I set the path as follows:
qgis_prefix = /usr
I would recommend to use the where command for linux systems to get the
install folder.
Some pseudocode:
test if on linux
execute in bash `whereis qgis`
whereis_output = read output from that command
qgis_prefix = whereis_output
if on windows
use the approach Martin pointed out:
(${PROGRAM_FILES}/Quantum GIS
note that some users like to change the default install folder
to something like c:\programms\qgis
else (installation folder can't be found
open a gui folder selection dialog and let the user select it.
Maybe I haven't explained it well, but this is what I meant, just
without running whereis utility. Since it just looks to /usr and
/usr/local directories we don't have to run it and look there by
ourselves.
As a workaround we could use a configuration.py file. There we set the
paths and the parameters for the app:
cat configuration.py
qgis_prefix = /usr
startup_project = ./data/mycustomproject.qgs
So if you deliver the app and your users have problems to start the
program they'd only need to modify this configuration file and wouldn't
need to mess up with the rest.
Yes, script with just configuration is a simpler variant of a
bootstrap script. In fact we should be able to support also gui-less
configuration (since qgis libraries can be used also without gui).
I think what the maximum would be to achieve real stand alone apps: ship
a directory with these resources in the app.
|-- LICENSE.TXT
|-- Makefile
|-- README.TXT
|-- core
|-- data
|-- qgis_common
|-- qgislite.py
`-- tools
Then every needed file could be put into the common directory
(qgis_common). And we are totally independant of a QGIS install.
Right, this is suitable for windows. But I would say that e.g. for
linux it's more appropriate to ship standalone apps and let the user
install the libraries with package manager.
In case of using many stand alone apps one would put the qgis_common
somewhere else and refernce it with the qgis_prefix variable.
Well, this are just some ideas. They only based on brainstorming and
didn't undergo testing here ;-) Hope you like them.
Of course thanks for ideas!
Regards
Martin
