[GRASS-user] Status of .gdb Import?

2012-03-09 Thread Rich Shepard

  I need data for parts of three states that are in the National
Hydrographic Dataset. Unfortunately, the data are available only in the
ESRI-proprietary .gdb format. What is the status of a filter to allow these
files to be imported into GRASS for use in analyses?

TIA,

Rich

[GRASS-user] Minor Bug in -6.5svn

2012-03-09 Thread Rich Shepard

  This bug has been in all the -6.5svn builds, through the current one.

  With the wxPython GUI running, press ctrl-shift-r to select a raster map
for display. A warning message box pops up telling you that there is no map
name entered. That's true because all C-S-r is supposed to do is present the
dialog box in which the raster map name is to be entered. Clicking 'OK' on
the warning box removes it.

  Using the analogous command, C-S-v to select a vector map for display does
not produce the warning.

  It would be nice to have the raster shortcut also not display the warning.

OGRS2012 :: CALL FOR PAPERS
Open Source Geospatial Research and Education Symposium

October 24 – 26, 2012 in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland
Hosted by School of Business and Engineering Vaud (HEIG-VD)

Website: http://www.ogrs2012.org
Contact: c...@ogrs2012.org

Notice, PDF version of this call is available here : http://cfp.ogrs2012.org.

(our apologies for cross-postings)
Dear colleagues,

The Open Source Geospatial Research and Education Symposium (OGRS) is
a meeting dedicated to exchanging ideas on development and use of open
source geospatial software in both research and education.

Motivated by the inaugural symposium in Nantes, France, OGRS2012 will
be held from October 24 – 26, 2012 in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland.
The symposium is hosted and organized by the School of Business and
Engineering Vaud (HEIG-VD), in partnership with EPFL Lausanne,
University of Lausanne, University of Geneva, which are all academic
institutions in Western Switzerland, and the Institute for Research on
Urban Sciences and Techniques in France.

The main goals are:
- to build a panel of new scientific research and education practices
using and contributing to open source initiatives in the geospatial
fields;
- to discuss a framework and highlight a rationale about geospatial
open source technology usage in research and education activities;
- to provide an innovation platform to network and develop ideas for
future collaborative work between academia – from research to
education – and other actors of the field (associations, foundations,
local authorities, industry etc.).

For more details, visit the overview page on the website.

Keynote speakers :
- Luc Anselin, Director, Regents' Professor and Walter Isard Chair at
School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning, College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences and Director at GeoDa Center for Geospatial Analysis
and Computation, Arizona State University;
- Gérard Hégron, Scientific Director in charge of sustainable city at
IFSTTAR (French Institute of Science and Technology for Transport,
Planning and Networks);
- Helena Mitasova, Associate Professor at Department of Marine, Earth
and Atmospheric Sciences, North Carolina State University;
- Robert Weibel, Professor of Geographical Information Science at
Department of Geography, University of Zürich.

Submission :
The symposium will integrate several opportunities for presenting :
oral presentations, workshops, posters and discussion groups. To
participate in any of these opportunities, authors are invited to
submit an extended abstract (1000 to 1500 words, references and
keywords excluded) through the conference website. The official
language is English.

The international scientific advisory board will review and select
abstracts for inclusion in the symposium and publication in the
symposium proceedings. A subset of contributions will be invited to
submit full papers for possible publication in a special issue of the
Journal of Spatial Information Sciences (JOSIS), pending a peer review
of full papers.

For more details on how to submit a contribution, please visit the
call for papers page on the website : http://cfp.ogrs2012.org.

Important dates :
- submission deadline for abstracts is May 28, 2012.
- authors will be notified by June 30, 2012 on program inclusion and
selection for JOSIS submission
- deadline to submit full papers is September 30, 2012.

We would appreciate if you could kindly distribute this call to other
interested parties of your acquaintance.

Best regards,
OGRS2012 program committee

Re: [GRASS-user] WxGUI Vector Digitizer crashes

2012-03-09 Thread Vincent Bain
Thank you Martin,
wxgui does not actually crash; but it becomes very slow when ram gets
saturated. Vector map I edit is not that big :

Number of points:   0   Number of areas:  1200
Number of lines:0   Number of islands:268
Number of boundaries:   2593Number of faces:  0
Number of centroids:1192Number of kernels:0 

neither background raster :

Rows: 1906
Columns:  2247
Total Cells:  4282782

I think that's a good idea - something along the lines of:

"[region ignored for this command]"
and
"[MASK ignored for this command]"

I might remember reading in the manual of a module that it uses the region and 
MASK - but in
general it might be the other way round.

So the default behaviour is: all r. modules respect the region and MASK, with 
some exceptions.

Makes sense.

Based on what you say, I think it might be a good idea to

a) state this on the manual page about the raster modules, and

b) separate the list of raster modules into the ones which
  - respect region and MASK
  - respect region only
  - respect MASK only (I don't thik there are any)
  - use the region of the map and don't use MASK

I think this would clarify things a lot.

Cheers,

Rainer

Just a thought, not sure if it really makes sense:
Raster modules that ignore the current region and/or mask could issue 
some sort of warning, in analogy to "[Raster MASK present]" which comes 
up all the time if I have a MASK map somewhere in the visible mapsets.
