Hi, It's good time now to add colours to similar sets (like open * layer). Waiting for proposals... with short description of your associations.

Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS Server - GetPrint with a composer containing HTML block causes segfault
Hi I just tested the same long text replacement passed in the parameter, but after unchecking the feature Display in HTML. It appears that the behaviour is the same : when using this feature (dynamic strings for text item in composers) in the GetPrint request, QGIS does not respect the position and size of the text box. All the text is displayed in a single line which make the box overflows to the right. I have not yet find the specific server code wich handles this part, so I cannot propose a pull request for it. Michael 2013/5/23 kimaidou kimai...@gmail.com Ok, so I ran some more test. Here are the results I have set up a simple composer in QGIS (last master, compiled this morning) http://picpaste.com/Capture_du_2013-05-23_15_48_30-9NozmDib.png When I export in PDF from QGIS composer, I get this http://temp-share.com/show/KdPfy1yuh When I ran the request [1] which is the getprint (wrapped by Lizmap, but it is kind of a proxy to QGIS Server) Basically I added the parameter truc=MY FOO TITLE bBOLD/b I get this : http://temp-share.com/show/Pf3YjoO62 When I ran the same request but with a longer truc parameter, like truc=MY FOO TITLE bBOLD/bpLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque luctus adipiscing fringilla. Fusce eget justo tellus. Maecenas dolor augue, sollicitudin at iaculis et, congue et metus. Aenean tincidunt ipsum sit amet ipsum ornare fermentum. Proin fringilla laoreet hendrerit. Curabitur dui urna, interdum tempus blandit eu,/p I get this: http://temp-share.com/show/f3YgiOWwn So it appears that the dynamic replacement via the GetPrint request does not respect the position and size of my truc text box. Have I missed something or shall I report a bug ?

I think I must pass some extra parameters to the fake X Server, like the screen size, etc. I will report further attempts Cheers Michael 2013/5/23 kimaidou kimai...@gmail.com I report my progress here I managed to get a PDF via the GetPrint request by following these steps 1/ Create a fake X server Xvfb :99 -ac -noreset 2/ Add the option in the fastcgi , for example FastCgiConfig -idle-timeout 70 -maxClassProcesses 50 -minProcesses 3 -init-start-delay 3 -restart-delay 20 -startDelay 15 -initial-env DISPLAY=:99 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/kimaidou/src/qgis/build/lib/ 3/ Restart Apache service apache2 restart After this, I tried the GetPrint request from my QGIS project with a composer containing a HTML item. The request get a PDF as an answer, but the HTML item is empty. I will try with another composer, etc., and report here. By the way, is there a way to pass an HTML string via a parameter to the getPrint request for HTML items, as it is possible for text item ? This would rock ! Michael 2013/5/23 kimaidou kimai...@gmail.com Hi Tim and Marco I come back to this subject after helping to solve the performance problem with Mathias. So, I am first runnning my tests on my ubuntu laptop. Since it is my computer, it is not ubuntu server but the classical Ubuntu with an X server running. I tried in my terminal echo $DISPLAY :0 So it seems (but I am far from being a X server guru !) that this is the DISPLAY value I should pass to QGIS Server. This is why I added the following configurartion in my virtual host (and in the fastcgi config file): In the virtual host ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews FollowSymLinks Order allow,deny Allow from all SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/kimaidou/src/qgis/build/lib SetEnv DISPLAY :0 /Directory In /etc/apache2/mods-available/fastcgi.conf IfModule mod_fastcgi.c AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi #FastCgiWrapper /usr/lib/apache2/suexec FastCgiIpcDir /var/lib/apache2/fastcgi FastCgiConfig -idle-timeout 70 -maxClassProcesses 50

Re: [Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] New Icons - difficult to read
+1 i.e. The difference between the Add PostGIS layers and Add SpatiaLite layers is that one has a regular cylinder and the other has a fat-waisted hour-glass cylinder - about 20-30 pixels are different in an icon that's got 1024 pixels!

Re: [Qgis-developer] Layers rendering order swapped (behavior change)
I saved a simple project with 3 layers from 1.8.0. Opening it with current master (commit:83445af) renders those 3 layers upside down (layer on top in the layer manager is rendered at the bottom in the map canvas). Moving layers around confirms the behavior: you have to move point layers at the bottom in order for them to NOT be covered by lineal layers. Is this intentional ? you may want to add your notes here http://hub.qgis.org/issues/7623 ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

Re: [Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] New Icons - difficult to read
Hi! -1 for keeping the old Icons.. I'd rather vote to probably leave them for 2.0 but get rid of them afterwards.. It does not make any sense to have different sets of icons .. And as GRASS is using the same icon set in their GUI it does indeed make sense to use it probably in every open source GIS .. I know that the first time might be hard but thats just the usual human behaviour of refusing new things. But for e.g. I am working with the new icon set since a very long time (to use GRASS and QGIS in parallel) and I can find everything at once but rather have some kind of problems when I switch to the old ones.. So I know that I could adapt myself to the old iconset within a few days .. Its just human that every more work you have to do gets refused at first regardless of the advatnages it might bring later So maybe for a period of migration Id leave the old icons inside but definitely not for 2.1 or later ..

Re: [Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] New Icons - difficult to read
Hi Jonathan, You are right. Problem with new icons is that we have started with some idea (add raster, vector, PostgreSQL layer) and end up with several icons of the same type. First three icons are different, however have too many elements. Next are worse, and Oracle and others wait for more general problem solution. What are the options from my point of view (just layer toolbar)? 1. We could remove green plus leaving the others (yellow star and red minus). This will give some more space to increase symbol size. 2. Remove 'layer' symbol, but in this case 'create vector layer' will be identical to 'create vector' in edit toolbar. But considering toolbar context is could be OK. Definitely we should remove 'layer' from WMS, WFS and similar. 3. Due to variety of database formats replace them with clones of database logo. All changes are possible, but after general agreement. We can do it now or after QGIS 2.0 release. regards, Robert On 24.05.2013 10:59, Jonathan Moules wrote: +1 i.e. The difference between the Add PostGIS layers and Add SpatiaLite layers is that one has a regular cylinder and the other has a fat-waisted hour-glass cylinder - about 20-30 pixels are different in an icon that's got 1024 pixels!

Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS Server - GetPrint with a composer containing HTML block causes segfault
Hi I just opened a new issue : http://hub.qgis.org/issues/7894 Discussion can go on there. Cheers Michael 2013/5/24 kimaidou kimai...@gmail.com Hi I just tested the same long text replacement passed in the parameter, but after unchecking the feature Display in HTML. It appears that the behaviour is the same : when using this feature (dynamic strings for text item in composers) in the GetPrint request, QGIS does not respect the position and size of the text box. All the text is displayed in a single line which make the box overflows to the right. I have not yet find the specific server code wich handles this part, so I cannot propose a pull request for it. Michael 2013/5/23 kimaidou kimai...@gmail.com Ok, so I ran some more test. Here are the results I have set up a simple composer in QGIS (last master, compiled this morning) http://picpaste.com/Capture_du_2013-05-23_15_48_30-9NozmDib.png When I export in PDF from QGIS composer, I get this http://temp-share.com/show/KdPfy1yuh When I ran the request [1] which is the getprint (wrapped by Lizmap, but it is kind of a proxy to QGIS Server) Basically I added the parameter truc=MY FOO TITLE bBOLD/b I get this : http://temp-share.com/show/Pf3YjoO62 When I ran the same request but with a longer truc parameter, like truc=MY FOO TITLE bBOLD/bpLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque luctus adipiscing fringilla. Fusce eget justo tellus. Maecenas dolor augue, sollicitudin at iaculis et, congue et metus. Aenean tincidunt ipsum sit amet ipsum ornare fermentum. Proin fringilla laoreet hendrerit. Curabitur dui urna, interdum tempus blandit eu,/p I get this: http://temp-share.com/show/f3YgiOWwn So it appears that the dynamic replacement via the GetPrint request does not respect the position and size of my truc text box.

Re: [Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] New Icons - difficult to read
Hi Marco, I'm afraid I respectfully disagree. A short adaptation period won't make the icons more obvious. I'm not a big QGIS user. If I want to use /any/ function in QGIS, I have to stare at the icons and use the tooltips to figure out what button does what, so I'm not adapted to the 1.8 set, let alone the 2.x ones. That said, when I look at the 2.0 set what I see is many icons that are almost identical. Any icon that is only ~3% different from its neighbour (i.e. the database ones) is never going to be any good for its purpose. I'd imagine people with a visual impairment may struggle even more. Also remember, not all users navigate by knowing where the buttons are (in fact, most don't). For those users you *have* to have a good set of icons that are easily differentiated at a glance. I think colour would be a start, but the designs themselves are still too similar. I think resolving this in time for the 2.x release makes sense. Otherwise those who do learn these icons will have to re-learn them for 2.1. It doesn't make sense to change something as fundamental as the iconography twice in as many releases. Just my 2p.

I couldn't find a way to enable the move / rotate tools in toolbar, in edit mode, after having defined fields for X and Y in expression. Tools that opens a dialog to modify font, text.. is working, but I couldn't change Y X values in it. Is this an issue or a I missing something? There is a short description about this below those settings: ( Define attribute fields to enable labeling map tools ) It means that only an attribute field mapping data definition can be used to enable the labeling map tools (e.g. Move, Rotate, Change Properties). An expression does not work. Since those tools directly edit the attribute table, access to the field needs to be established, i.e. a data defined mapped attribute field. While it is possible to find out what attribute fields (aka columns) are referenced within an expression, there is no simple means of determining any one of those fields are intended to be open for writing new values. It is possible when there is only one field in the expression, and no other parts to the expression, to use it directly, but then why not just map a field? There are use cases for allowing expressions for all of those settings (X, Y, Alignments, Rotation), so limiting those data definitions to only allowing attribute field mappings would not be a good idea. It looks like the 1 line help description, noted above, needs more work. Maybe invert the logic?: (Defining expressions will disable labeling map tools) Also, a good and concise contextual help needs drafted to explain new labeling options and how they work.

Re: [Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] New Icons - difficult to read
Hi, I'm along the lines of Werner, Anita, Marco... The new gis icon set looks much more professional than the old icon set and the look of the icon set actually gives the software a whole different look. From what I've read here, the main concern lies on the add layer icons which look too similar. If I remember correctly there was a plan to collapse them all into a single add layer button. I don't know what happened to this plan, but that would help to overcome this problem and enhance the gui as it will get cleaner. Is there anybody working on this feature still? Please allow me to ask, which other icons (apart from the add layer icons) look too similar or have other problems. For me the icon set is something similar to the logo. The current (1.8) designs look hobby-ish and need a redesign. But as you mentioned, a change should happen once only and not in every minor release. So please let's focus on making the gis icon theme better. The old version gets a big -1 from me.

[Qgis-developer] Adjacency Matrix - Connectivity Matrix
Hi all, I am trying to develop a plugin for QGIS with PyQgis and I am wondering how is possible to get the adjacency for a network. I have two layers, nodes.shp and link.shp. The nodes.shp are the vertex of the links.shp. So my idea was to create a buffer of nodes.shp and then intersect this buff_nodes.shp with link.shp and get the the attributes which are connected between them. I tried to do in this way, and when I intersect the buffer with link doesn't give me any file with the intersection. I don't know if that is because can no be intersected polynes and polygins or what. I am new using the libraries of pyqgis and maybe is already developed some library which calculates it automatically. So... Anyone knows or has any idea how to get the adjacency matrix of a vectorLayer?

Re: [Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] New Icons - difficult to read
Hi, On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 11:10 AM, kimaidou kimai...@gmail.com wrote: +1 with Paolo I prefer the new default qgis icon set, but I do not understand why we need to remove the other icon sets, as long as the qgis theme is the new default one. A big -1 for the project maintaining 2 themes. If the old default is not maintained with distinctly different icons (it hasn't been for a while) then it only presents more hodge-podge-looking design for the project to end users. If something ships with the final release package, it should be maintained. IMO, the old default theme is not maintained (and looks like it), therefore it should not ship, and no more energy should be wasted on maintaining it. This is similar to the decision to focus on only master branch and release the app from it, instead of maintaining multiple version branches with backports. It really comes down to streamlining the whole release process and providing a quality app, all with limited development resources, instead of trying to be everything to all users. Using that paradigm, maintaining a second, defunct theme just doesn't seem reasonable. I do think the multi-theme code should be left, so third-party devs or users can use their own themes, but this does mean those users need to recompile the app. (Current theme support does not allow run-time switching of the theme, even after a restart.) A big +1 for only focusing on fixing the current issues with the new default theme, AND extending the GUI/string freeze until it is ready for 2.0 release (though the hard feature/API freeze should happen really soon). Towards that move-forward-only goal, and given the obvious time constraints, I propose the following: 1) List all icons on a single wiki page - Something similar was started back in 2011 [0]. Just updating that page should work. This means all icons in main image.qrc and for core plugins that have their own .qrc files. 2) Comment on specific icons or groups of icons - Everyone puts their comments on that wiki page, hopefully in a constructive and timely manner (within the next 3-5 days?). 3) Fix a subset of icons for 2.0 - Once problem icons are identified, fix the most problematic ones for 2.0 release. This does mean that some more icons will later change on 2.1 release (to update all of the theme), but no icon should change at both releases, especially the core, main interface icons. Using this method, Robert, and anyone helping him, can focus directly on what needs fixed, and prioritize those fixes for a 2.0 release.

The new gis icon set looks much more professional than the old icon set and the look of the icon set actually gives the software a whole different look. So please let's focus on making the gis icon theme better. The old version gets a big -1 from me. Sorry I was unclear.

Re: [Qgis-developer] New Icons - difficult to read
Layer toolbar could look like this [1], except OWS icons. Oracle Spatial logo was not found, so I took 'O' from Oracle, but it looks ugly in this context. Combination of this 'O' with database symbol doesn't look nice either. Some proposals ...? We could leave old database symbol with different colours, but MSSQL, SpatiaLite and Oracle icons are mainly red so this will be hard. Additionally we must remember about color-blind persons. regards, Robert [1] http://robert.szczepanek.pl/tmp/layer-toolbar.png On 24.05.2013 13:51, Robert Szczepanek wrote: Hi Jonathan, You are right. Problem with new icons is that we have started with some idea (add raster, vector, PostgreSQL layer) and end up with several icons of the same type. First three icons are different, however have too many elements. Next are worse, and Oracle and others wait for more general problem solution. What are the options from my point of view (just layer toolbar)? 1. We could remove green plus leaving the others (yellow star and red minus). This will give some more space to increase symbol size. 2. Remove 'layer' symbol, but in this case 'create vector layer' will be identical to 'create vector' in edit toolbar. But considering toolbar context is could be OK. Definitely we should remove 'layer' from WMS, WFS and similar. 3. Due to variety of database formats replace them with clones of database logo. All changes are possible, but after general agreement. We can do it now or after QGIS 2.0 release. regards, Robert On 24.05.2013 10:59, Jonathan Moules wrote: +1 i.e. The difference between the Add PostGIS layers and Add SpatiaLite layers is that one has a regular cylinder and the other has a fat-waisted hour-glass cylinder - about 20-30 pixels are different in an icon that's got 1024 pixels! I have to look at them in detail to see the differences. And there's still MSSQL and Oracle icons to be created in the new schema which using this system will only confuse things more. Don't get me wrong, I like the style of the new icons, but they're really hard to visually differentiate. I did a quick google and came across this: http://turbomilk.com/blog/cookbook/icon_design/10_mistakes_in_icon_design/ The QGIS icons do all of the top three things.
