[Qgis-developer] hints for writing a C++ plugin
Hi, I'm new to this mailing list. I am writing a plugin for QGIS in order to perform complex cost surface analyses. I wrote some code in Python using GDAL, and it works but it is too slow. So, I'm considering the possibility to re-write the plugin in C++, but C++ plugins are less documented and I have few questions: - can they be deployed in the same way Pythons plugins are? (Or, if not, what the user shall do to install the plugin and what have I to do deploy it?) - which library shall I use to read and write raster data from a C++ QGIS plugin? GDAL or a specific QGIS API? And if the answer is GDAL, can I trust that this library will be installed in final user's pc? Thanks!! ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

Re: [Qgis-developer] Possible improvement | Actions on right click
+1 For giving some additional use to right-mouse-click in map canvas. Context menus seems coherent with most of software that I have worked with. I'm not sure about where right-click direct actions are used, I can only remember the finish feature edit. For currently actions using direct right-click, I see a few alternatives: 1 - The action is the first on the context menu ( need 2 clicks and breaks current usability); 2 - Assign function key for those actions (fast but breaks usability, not suitable for mouse position dependent actions); 3 - Change right-click direct action to Shift + Right Click ( faster, and kinda keeps usability); I personally like the solution 1 + 3, direct action is detached at the top of the context menu and can be accessed directly (no context menu is showed) if one presses Shift (or Ctrl) while clicking.

Re: [Qgis-developer] ECW!!!
Here is a very documented blog post about the comparative use of ecw or compressed gtiff http://blog.webmapper.com.au/ You can use basic gdal command line to get a compressed gtiff from ecw, with very good performances. For example : # convertir l'ecw gdal_translate -of GTiff -co TILED=yes -co PHOTOMETRIC=YCBCR -co COMPRESS=JPEG input.ecw output.tif # créer la pyramide gdaladdo -r average --config COMPRESS_OVERVIEW JPEG --config PHOTOMETRIC_OVERVIEW YCBCR --config INTERLEAVE_OVERVIEW PIXEL compressed.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 Will provide a geotiff with great performances and not so big compared to the ecw. And as other suggested, open source wavelet is in progress too and must be burried out !

Is there an equivalent way to do this with the 2.0 API? I'm not seeing it... currently doesn't exist a similar method in the new console, but all the print statements are catched from the console.
