Hi, I use a spreadsheet hosted on google drive to allow geographically separated users the ability to view and update project information. This is in the form of a spreadsheet of points, each row containing the details of a different archaeological feature. However, there is a need to record features that are best represented with a polyline. Currently, I have been using one spreadsheet for point features and an offline shapefile for linear features, but this dual approach has lead to confusion.
Can a polyline layer be exported to a csv format, including the line spatial information in a way that it could be as easily mapped in Qgis as a point csv is? If so then a separate worksheet of linear features could be populated by links within Google Sheets. However, I have not seen any way to save linear or polyline information in a csv file. Using the save..as dialog within Qgis only produces a csv without any spatial information. As an alternative, are there any other data formats that could organize and present linear, point, and area features in a way that is easily accessible to technically illiterate users, but still be easily used to create maps? Or would this require the expense of a separate server and database (and an ODBC connection to a spreadsheet client)? cheers, kilolima -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Is-it-possible-to-store-polyline-layer-within-a-csv-file-tp5104366.html Sent from the Quantum GIS - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
