Re: [Qgis-user] How to Degitize a raster immage

And if you are thinking of manually tracing over a raster image you just need the tools on the "digitisation" and "advanced digitisation" toolbars. There is help on these in the user manual. > Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 16:52:49 -0700 > From: Mars > Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] How to Degitize a raster i

Besides Geo-Referencing a Raster image, there is also a function called "Feature Extraction". I Believe there is a plugin for extracting Vector Features from a DEM and possibly other functions to extract features from other types of Rasters. Perhaps if Geo-referencing is not your primary goal yo

Hi Mumtaz! I am not quite sure what you mean with "Digitization of raster layer" but I assume you mean something like georeferencing any raster image you have .. So a very good starting point for that would be: http://glaikit.org/2011/03/27/image-georeferencing-with-qgis/ or http://people.umass.ed

so did you understand why? lat lon is not an equidistant coordinate system. It is an angular measure. The graticules merge closer togehter the further north they go. When you overlay data projected to ll onto a flat surface the lengths east west at the top are shorter than the lengths east west at

Hi, I'm new to this list, and I've just recently started using QuantumGis by suggestion from PostGis community. I've been using QGis for an assignment at university on an undergrad so I only know the very basics since we are learning it on our own for a pres. I have a postgres 9.1, a postgis 1.5.

I am thinking rather than that it is just the fact that when you use degrees, moving in the map would give you a different scale. Because every time you move north or south you have changed the length of the x distance. If you pan left and right (very carefully) do you see the scale not change?

Could this just be a windows thing then? I tried an older version of qgis-dev (1.8.0-78) on a different windows machine in the office and there are no problems. Metres should be the default setting for 27700 shouldn't it not degrees? James Stott BSc (Hons) MSc | Senior Professional Nicholas Pe

Yep, ArcGIS does the same thing under the same name too, so it's not an uncommon feature. Unfortunately I do need it to be a QGIS extension because we have a pre-deployed QGIS project that is interested in it. However, it's an "icing on the cake" feature, so not mandatory. Thanks though, Jonatha
