[Qgis-developer] Groups in Layers panel

2014-11-13 Thread Zoltan Szecsei

Hi,
I'm dealing with quite a number of vector map tiles, and I have grouped 
many of them with a common theme.


What I'm finding pretty unworkable, is that when I want to set rendering 
style, I have to do it individually per map in that group, and likewise, 
when I want to Identify a feature within that group, I have to click 
through each map in that group in order to find which map in that group 
holds the feature I want to identify.


There are probably quite a few other actions that would be easier to 
work at a group level rather than a map level,

but:

Am I attacking this issue the wrong way, or is there a possibility that 
some of these actions can be processed by QGIS at a map-group level?


Regards to all,
Zoltan

[Qgis-developer] QGIS 2.6 - Open postgis raster: decimal separator problem?

2014-11-13 Thread Jorge Gustavo Rocha

Hi devs,

I'm unable to open Postgis rasters using the default language setting, 
which is pt_PT.UTF-8 in my case. By overriding language settings, I can 
open Postgis rasters. Maybe something related with the decimal_point 
setting in LC_NUMERIC?


I didn't find any bug related with this issue. Can some else confirm 
this problem? Should I submit a bug?


How to reproduce the problem (if decimal_point == ',' and not '.'):

0) Download raster from https://bo5r0b.s.cld.pt or use your own raster

i) Insert raster in to Postgis
raster2pgsql -d -I -C -M -s 3763 001972Argb_12.tif -F -t 1000x1000 orto 
| psql -h localhost -U geobox -d orto


ii) Open QGIS with default language settings.
Add raster to QGIS using DB Manager

iii) The raster does not show properly. Raster properties are not 
extract/calculated correctly.


How to solve the problem:

i) Start QGIS overriding all language specific settings:

LC_ALL=C qgis

ii) The Postgis raster shows properly and all properties are loaded with 
correct values.


I'm using:
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS

"PostgreSQL 9.3.5 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 
4.8.2-19ubuntu1) 4.8.2, 64-bit"

Re: [Qgis-developer] Improving the legend for map-units, data-defined symbology, diagrams and labels

2014-11-13 Thread Andreas Neumann

I correct myself regarding issue 1:

It is not unpredictable and even corresponds nicely with the scale - so 
map display and legend display are nicely in sync. But I think we need 
to be able to restrict legends where map units are involved to a certain 
min/max scale range. So the symbols don't get too big or too small and 
get into each others way.

Hi,

We need to solve a number of open issues with the legend - preferably 
in the next QGIS release. This concerns mainly the print composer 
legend, but perhaps the legend in the legend tree could be solved at 
the same time. At the same time we should also think how these 
improved legends could be exposed in QGIS server.


I am trying to list the things I would like to see improved:

1. Support for legends for graphical properties defined with map 
units. Currently these legends display in the print composer at very 
strange, unpredictable and unusable sizes. E.g. a stroke-width or dash 
defined in map units is either way too big or too small. Same for 
symbol sizes defined in map units. We need a way to translate these 
map units in usable paper units suitable for display in the legend. 
Let the map author define a corresponding mm size (along with the map 
units) - solely for the display of the legend.


2. Display of legends for graphical properties defined with 
data-defined symbology. We need a way to specify common graphical 
properties in the legend that are of interest in the legend. F.e. - if 
I define the colors data-defined I would like to be able to specify 
the expected colors that may appear in my data/project. This could be 
either done dynamically (by scanning the data) or statically (decided 
by the map author). Perhaps both methods. To me, the static method may 
be more predictable and more performant.


3. Legends for diagrams (pie charts, bar charts) - something similar 
to 
http://esri.force.com/servlet/rtaImage?eid=08730008Nki&feoid=Body&refid=0EM3000Co0O 
- showing both sizes and colors - nicely stacked into each other.


4. Legends for labels - here we also have the same issue: how can we 
display a label legend where graphical properties are set based on 
data-defined values?


---

I know this is not yet well specified - but I would like to open the 
discussion how we can solve the above issues. And I am looking for a 
QGIS developer who is interested in solving the above issues. If you 
are interested in developing above listed improvements, please join 
the discussion or contact me offlist.


Do you have ideas how to solve the issues with map units and 
data-defined symbology?


There is at least one other german organization (QGIS user) who is 
interested in this and would help finance this effort. Perhaps we can 
find more organizations who would help finance.


Thank you for joining the discussion,

[Qgis-developer] Improving the legend for map-units, data-defined symbology, diagrams and labels

2014-11-13 Thread Andreas Neumann

Hi,

We need to solve a number of open issues with the legend - preferably in 
the next QGIS release. This concerns mainly the print composer legend, 
but perhaps the legend in the legend tree could be solved at the same 
time. At the same time we should also think how these improved legends 
could be exposed in QGIS server.


I am trying to list the things I would like to see improved:

1. Support for legends for graphical properties defined with map units. 
Currently these legends display in the print composer at very strange, 
unpredictable and unusable sizes. E.g. a stroke-width or dash defined in 
map units is either way too big or too small. Same for symbol sizes 
defined in map units. We need a way to translate these map units in 
usable paper units suitable for display in the legend. Let the map 
author define a corresponding mm size (along with the map units) - 
solely for the display of the legend.


2. Display of legends for graphical properties defined with data-defined 
symbology. We need a way to specify common graphical properties in the 
legend that are of interest in the legend. F.e. - if I define the colors

may appear in my data/project. This could be either done dynamically (by

http://esri.force.com/servlet/rtaImage?eid=08730008Nki&feoid=Body&refid=0EM3000Co0O 
- showing both sizes and colors - nicely stacked into each other.


4. Legends for labels - here we also have the same issue: how can we 
display a label legend where graphical properties are set based on 
data-defined values?

OK, now I got it, thanks (I know, I should have RTFM first). After config, the 
viewer
seems to run fine. Apparently the setup creates an older version of the project 
(not
2.6).
BTW: any plans for a long term support of this interesting app? Wouldn't it be 
nice
to include it in QGIS master, to make it easily available to all QGIS users?
Ready to help with testing if necessary.
All the best, and thanks.
