Hi List, I uploaded a new version of the xytools plugin. After some questions and discussion on the list about Excel files, I added simple capability to open and save excel files.
It uses the python xlw and xlrd libs for that (http://www.python-excel.org/). Those are available for windows users in the osgeo4w package. Linux users can probably get it from there package manager. If all fails, go to http://www.python-excel.org/ and get it from there. In short: it can save the attributes of a vector layer to a simple (one worksheet containing) xls file. It can open an xls file and load it in a memory layer. You can either point to an x and y column, and those values will be used for the x and y of the Point features. Or you can cancel choosing the x and y, and the attribute data will just be loaded taking 0/0 as x and y coordinates. There is a help file availabe via the xytools plugin menu with more information. Let me know if you find problems with it or have ideas to improve (see docs for earlier ideas). plugin via plugin menu or http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/xytools/ source http://hub.qgis.org/projects/xytools/repository project page http://hub.qgis.org/projects/xytools Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde ps if you find the plugin really usefull, I'm also trying out paypal buttons on the project page :-) Half of the profit (?) goes to the qgis project for this one I promised Paolo and Tim... _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
