[Qgis-user] Google Mercator

2012-04-10 Thread Nick Hopton
I avoid using the Google Mercator CRS (EPSG:900913, in QGIS Master) in QGIS projects because I know that it has problems. For example, users get into trouble trying to measuring distances using the tape measure. But people do use Google Mercator for projects and a recent post here suggest that

Hello Mailing List   I am running qgis on Windows. I recently upgraded to 1.7.4. which is great, but ever since I seem to have lost the GRASS plugin. I can't find it on either 'Fetch python plugins' or 'Manage python plugins' and my GRASS toolbar has entirely disappeared. I have tried

[Qgis-user] Slope not calculating correctly

2012-04-10 Thread Rudi Thiede
I've got a DEM, basically a cut-out of SRTM data. Trying to calculate its slope gives me extremely weird output, such that all values are 89 degrees. Dataset: http://linfiniti.com/~rudi/SRTM.zip Can anyone confirm? I'm suspecting a local issue though, not the data ...

I have observed a similar problem with Google mercator and vector files. I have a google satellite map, and several point vector files all in google mercator transformation, but the relationship between the locations on the map and the locations of the points of the vector files are not stable.

You're SRTM has geographical CRS (WGS84). You must keep into account when doing morphological analysis. If you reproject it to a planar projections (e.g. UTM) the results are correct. giovanni 2012/4/10 Rudi Thiede r...@linfiniti.com I've got a DEM, basically a cut-out of SRTM data. Trying to

Hello! There are some possible pitfalls with the so-called Google Mercator projection - look for example at http://www.hydrometronics.com/downloads/Web%20Mercator%20-%20Non-Conformal,%20Non-Mercator%20%28notes%29.pdf Specially at pages 5, 9 and 13 in the pdf linked above...might be the

Hi Rudi! I had the same issue using ASTER Data some days ago. It should also work in the WGS84 projection by using the GDAL based DEM utilities. Just use the slope analysis and put a hook on the checkbox with use percent slope (instead of degrees) And be sure to save the output in the same

[Qgis-user] QGis slope calculation in Photoshop

2012-04-10 Thread mnertinger
Hi everyone! Does anybody have an idea how to get a calculated slope tif from qgis into Photoshop? As the data is a GDT_Float32 - Thirty two bit floating point, opened in Photoshop it becomes a black/white mask-like image. Or maybe any way to convert it to a normal tif? I just want to avoid

Not sure about your question, but why do you want to avoid exporting it as png? The png uses losless compression, so the quality should be the same as tiff. And if you need tiff as output, just convert it to tiff in Photoshop. Or is there another reason? On 04/10/2012 01:15 PM, mnertinger

Using an png wouldn't be a problem at all. But i have to use the print-composer to get the png, because by just exporting the slope as png I get the same mask-like result in PS, as with the tif. And using the print composer to export an image is rather imprecise and unpleasing… I just don‘t get

Depending how often you'll need this it could be interesting to write a small python script that reads the image (eg. via gdal python bindings), transform the data if necessary, and apply a colormap to it, exporting it into the color-representation you need (eg. using matplotlib's colormaps).

Using the print composer is a bit cumbersome, but does not need to be imprecise. See this short explanation how you can use it to export georeferenced images: http://pvanb.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/create-wld-file-for-map-image/. The other way to do this is

Hi Rudi From Version 1.8 on, you can set the parameter 'z-scale' if your x-/y- units are different than the z-unit. If e.g. x-/y- is degrees and z meters, you may set z-Factor 20. Regards, Marco On 10.04.2012 12:20, Rudi Thiede wrote: I've got a DEM, basically a cut-out of SRTM data.
