Re: [Qgis-developer] Outline/border -> stroke?

[John Hawkinson]

I guess I should chime in here on this thread, too :), since I was invoked
originally:

> Following up on one of the points raised by John Hawkison (author of
> the famous "my first weekend with QGIS" email),

Definitely to +1 on Stroke.

As for transparency vs. opacity, as I wrote in that email:

* Why does QGIS use Transparency sliders instead of Opacity sliders?
  Isn't Opacity much more common in graphics software?

To expand a little more, both Photoshop and Illustrator use Opacity
sliders -- far left is 0% opacity / full transparency. (Although
curiously, Illustrator's is inside the Transparency window.)

Are there prominent examples of software packages (in the GIS world?)
that use Transparency instead of Opacity in sliders?

For the tols I use, Opacity wins hands-down. I gather that's not true
for everyone, but I wonder what the tools are that use Transparency
sliders (far left is 100% opacity / no transparency).

I would say, also, that Opacity is a little more intuitive, because
it basically translates to Brightness. If you ask a user which way
they turn the knob to make a line darker, they'll usually turn it in
the positive director (err, s/knob/slider/).


I would say, also, that the internal API is very different from the
UI. What's the justification for changing the API on this? Confusion
to API developers? Is that really worth it?

p.s.: I had anticipated having more time to file QGIS bugs and stuff
and that hasn't really happened. Although part of it is that it took
an awful long time to get an osgeo account and even longer to get a 
wiki account...nearly a week for the latter. Anyhow, it's still my
intention.

I'd be glad to help but haven't had a hands-on with ArcGIS for years ...

​Imho, the linked article is the GIS media version of click-bait. Very 
superficial, one line per topic. Some of the lines make me question how much 
the author knows about GIS technology in general.

Best wishes,

[Qgis-developer] Stationary objects that change attribute values over time

[Anita Graser]

Hi,

I'm looking for a better way to handle stationary objects in Time Manager.
For example, think of a real estate map, where plots of land change value
over time. The geometries themselves rarely ever change.

Currently. It is necessary to create a join of plot geometries and values
over time, duplicating geometries and creating potentially huge layers.

So far, my thoughts are going in the direction of creating query layers for
such cases. The query layer definition could be controlled by Time Manager,
to always update according to the requested time frame.

Does that sound reasonable? Do you have other ideas or are there any plans
about adding temporal support to QGIS3 that I should be aware of?

Thanks and best wishes,
Anita

Re: [Qgis-developer] Outline/border -> stroke?

[Raymond Nijssen]

+1 for stroke

+0 for opacity/transparency, but let's pick one of them for QGIS overall.

+1 for not using  black, but please make it a really dark gray because I 
think maps look crappy when the outline color gets lighter than the fill 
color. (As I notice sometimes in another desktop GIS...)


Besides, talking about this subject, I would love a tool for changing 
all the black stuff in map composers to another color. Texts, scale 
bars, frames, everything at once. Or does this already exist?


Regards,
Raymond

Hi

+1 from me too to switch to "stroke" and charcoal instead of black.

Definitely "stroke", both because it is the standard term in graphics

a line.

I agree that a dark grey would be a better choice of default stroke than
black:
