Re: [Qgis-user] GRASS plugin
Hi Albert Yes you need GRASS and QGIS installed. Check the http://download.qgis.org page for links to downloads.

[Qgis-user] GRASS plugin
To use the GRASS Plugin does GRASS program need to be install on the same system as QGIS (9.1)? Sincerely, Albert A. Arcand jr ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.qgis.org http://lists.qgis.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] need help - problem viewing U.S. map; how to add data
I verified what you are experiencing. Here is what I tried, and some things I observed. * The polygon can be queried with the identify tool, but it is not drawing the geometry correctly at scales smaller than 1:6. * Reprojected the dataset to something more localized for Alaska (UTM zone 6). Still got the odd shape. * Extracted and drew only that polygon (ID = 3407) and still got odd geometry. * Converted the shapefile to a mapinfo file, and got the same odd geometry * Verified that the data draws ok in other GIS software. * Zooming in to a scale of 1:6, the polygon draws where it appears white/empty at scales smaller than this. * Imported into GRASS the single AK polygon which was extracted previously with ogr2ogr. File imports into GRASS with the same odd shape. Maybe it is a bad shapefile, specifically along the northern edge of Alaska, where the shape seems to flip about the northern boundary line. I did downloaded and draw the 109th congress data file, and it displayed the same erroneous shape; however, I wonder if 109 and 110 could be from the same geometry source, but contain different attributes. Interestingly enough, from the same webpage, I then downloaded the 1980 county boundaries shapefile (same projection), and QGIS drew Alaska without any of those issues. Not sure how much that really helps, but I tried. Mark On Feb 12, 2008 11:45 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have opened a shape file of the U.S. showing U.S. Congressional Districts.

Re: [Qgis-user] need help - problem viewing U.S. map; how to add data
Good question! There is no distortion but rather the Alaska mainland does not show up at all. All the islands around Alaska show up, however. In addition there is a shape next to the eastern border of Alaska that is not a state at all. -Original Message- From: M S [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 12:03 PM To: Taylor, Roger @ SYColeman Cc: qgis-user@lists.qgis.org Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] need help - problem viewing U.S. map; how to add data When you say Alaska does not appear correctly in the Map View, are you saying that the shape is distorted?
