Re: [QGIS-Developer] GSoC 2024 proposal : QGIS improve the graphical modeler UI and UX

[Ismail Sunni via QGIS-Developer]

Hi Valentin,

The proposal looks great, I don't know if someone evaluates the QGIS
graphical modeler.

And as Nyall said, you can cut the scope, and the proposal is still great.

Finally we have another GSoC proposal again for QGIS :)

Good luck!

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Revert Previous Plugin, disable "Upgrade All" and "Upgrade Plugin" buttons

[Ismail Sunni via QGIS-Developer]

Hi Luke,

You can install the previous version of the plugin by installing it from
its zip file manually.

   1. Go to the plugin page, (e.g.
   https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/ViewshedAnalysis/)
   2. Click the *version* tab
   3. Click the version you want to install (e.g.
   https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/ViewshedAnalysis/version/1.7/)
   4. Download the plugin (a zip file)
   5. Open Plugin Manager
   6. Uninstall the plugin
   7. Install from Zip

One possible way to disable the Upgrade All or Upgrade Plugin is to disable
all the plugin repositories (i.e. Plugins -> Settings -> disable all
repositories).

Hope this helps.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] How to transfer data between QGIS Python plugins?

[Ismail Sunni]

Hi Zac,

In PyQGIS you can access the plugin using something like this:

the_plugin_a = qgis.utils.plugins['the_plugin_a']

After that, you can access all stuff in the plugin a.

Perhaps that can solve the problem.

Best Regards

Re: [QGIS-Developer] QGIS disables plugin on loading problem

[Ismail Sunni]

I guess it's like a watchdog to see which plugin that probably makes QGIS
crash. If there is a plugin like that, QGIS tries to help the user by
disabling it. CMIIW.

[QGIS-Developer] Building QGIS using Qt 5.14.2

[Ismail Sunni]

Dear QGIS developers,

I am trying to build QGIS using Qt 5.14.2. I have installed the Qt 5.14.2.
I have also set the CMake configuration (all Qt5*_Dir parameter) to their
respective directory under Qt 5.14.2 director. For example
Qt5Core_DIR:PATH=/home/isunni/Qt/5.14.2/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5Core.

Unfortunately, when I run the build command (e.g. ninja -j6) I got some
error like this below:

In file included from
> /home/isunni/Qt/5.14.2/gcc_64/include/QtCore/qcalendar.h:48:0,

>   ~~~^


It seems, it still refers to the system installed Qt (5.9), but I am not
sure which one since I already set the Qt5*_Dir to QT 5.14.2 and the
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is also set to /home/isunni/Qt/5.14.2/gcc_64 (where my Qt
5.14.2 located)

Is there a parameter that I should update beside the Qt5*_Dir to make it
work? Or is there any library or package that I need to install
additionally?

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and can build QGIS using the system installed Qt
(5.9) fine.

Thanks!

NB: Here is my CMakeCache:

Re: [QGIS-Developer] How to setup Visual Studio 2019 environment for QGIS C++ development?

[Ismail Sunni]

Yes, it's possible to run QGIS using WSL2. I have it running in my Windows.

My colleague, Rizky, writes a note about it here
https://github.com/lucernae/wsl2-qgis

Perhaps, it also possible to develop QGIS by using WSL2 on Windows

Best regards.

[QGIS-Developer] No Projection Issue on QGIS

[Ismail Sunni]

Dear All,

I built QGIS from source (master branch), it was working fine a few days
ago. Then I need to build other versions (LTR and LR). Now, my master
branch QGIS get this problem:

I can't set the projection. The symbol for projection just the crossed
projection logo. I tried to open a project, it said "Unknown CRS". And I
got this warning in the CRS log message:

"2020-04-08T17:34:25 WARNINGSaved user CRS [+proj=longlat
> +ellps=WGS84 +no_defs]".


I tried to set the projection from the Project Properties | CRS, but it
keeps saying "Unknown CRS".

I checked with my QGIS from the official release, it works fine. So, it
must be the building process. But, unfortunately, I don't have any clue,
since there is no error message. The only I got is these warnings:

../src/core/qgsmessagelog.cpp:29 : (logMessage) [176ms] 2020-04-08T17:35:12
> CRS[1] Saved user CRS [+proj=longlat +ellps=bess_nam +no_defs]
> ../src/core/qgsmessagelog.cpp:29 : (logMessage) [217ms]
> 2020-04-08T17:35:12 CRS[1] Saved user CRS [+proj=longlat +ellps=evrstSS

> CRS[1] Saved user CRS [+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS67 +no_defs]
> ../src/core/qgsmessagelog.cpp:29 : (logMessage) [243ms]

> 2020-04-08T17:35:13 CRS[1] Saved user CRS [+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS72
> +no_defs]
>

Any pointer to solve this problem is appreciated.

Thanks

Best regards.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] GSoC project scope discussion

[Ismail Sunni]

Hi BELGACEM,

1) Is there a written list of features that QGIS 3D has ? I don't see the
> 3D map view fully integrated within QGIS especially for scripting.


This Martin's presentation in FOSS4G perhaps can show the current list of
features also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stKWTOI0dFc=4s

Best regards

Re: [QGIS-Developer] News panel?

Hi Tim,

I have restarted my QGIS 3.10 several times, but I still couldn't see the
Welcome Message or the news panel. I have enabled "Show QGIS news feed on
welcome page" and set the Welcome Page on the project launch.

I only see the "recent project" and "project template" panel in the
beginning.

Thanks!

Best regards.

Thanks for the guidelines, I didn't know it before. I have added the
description for the features that I did for the GSoC, following the
guidelines.

Ok, I will put it there also. I realized that there is no documentation for
the other 3D tool also :)

I got it working, but with docker one (HTML and PDF). But, I got this error
message when I built the PDF one: https://pastebin.com/4WRPjqx4

Anyway, it's enough for me to start writing.

[feature] in the title or in a merged commit is the trigger. If you plan to

I will create manually then.

Thanks for helping. And if ever you struggle in the steps, let us know, We

Feedback: adding docker support to build the document is really save a lot
of time.

Thanks.

Best regards.

I will try to make the documentation for them. Is it ok if I put it in this
part:
https://docs.qgis.org/3.4/en/docs/user_manual/introduction/qgis_gui.html#d-map-view
I
couldn't find 3D specific part in the documentation.

I am currently trying to build the documentation locally :)

Btw, I can't find some of the features you developed, in the doc issues
> (only 3d measure is listed).


The billboard rendering PR is merged this morning, the doc issue is in
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/issues/4154

For on-screen navigation, I am not sure. It should be created automatically
if we put a feature label, right? The original PR is
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/30105 Or must it be a tag [feature] in
the title?

Best regards.

[QGIS-Developer] GSoC 2019 - Final Report - QGIS 3D Improvement: On-Screen Navigation, Bookmarks, Rendering Point Feature as Billboard, and Measuring Tool

[Ismail Sunni]

Dear QGIS and OSGeo community,

The day has come, it's the last day of my GSoC project. Here, I present my
final report for the past three months of m work on this project.

I have made easy to remember the simple website for it also, you can check
it here: https://ismailsunni.github.io/GSoC-2019/

It's a really amazing experience, thanks for all your support.

Final Report
QGIS 3D Improvement: On-Screen Navigation, Bookmarks, Rendering Point
Feature as Billboard, and Measuring Tool

*Google Summer of Code 2019*
* Student - *Ismail Sunni* https://github.com/ismailsunni/
* Mentors:
  * Mentor 1 - *Martin Dobias* https://github.com/wonder-sk
  * Mentor 2 - *Peter Petrik* https://github.com/PeterPetrik
* Organization - *OSGeo* (http://www.osgeo.org/), *QGIS* (https://qgis.org/)
* Developer Community - *QGIS Developers *(
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/)

*Abstract*
QGIS 3D is a great feature that has been introduced in QGIS 3.0 in 2018. It
is still missing some features that are needed or can be helpful for the
user though. In this project, I will work on 4 improvements to fill that
missing features:
- On-Screen Navigation: help the user to navigate the 3D view
- Measuring Tool: measure distance in 3D view
- Rendering Point Feature as Billboard: show a point feature as a billboard
(use case: show icon location and point cloud rendering)
- Bookmarks: help the user to save a 3D view and/or go back to a saved 3D
view

*QGIS Before GSoC 2019*
* It's possible to navigate in 3D Map View by using mouse or keyboard. It's
quite easy to do it unless you are not familiar with it. Just like me. It's
easy to get lost and confused. You are not sure which key or movement to
zoom, tilt, pan, or rotate the map view.
* There is no way to do the measurement in 3D Map view.
* There is no billboard rendering support for a point in 3D.
* There is no bookmark feature to save a specific scene in the 3D map view.
There is only reset view which set the view from the top.

*Added Value of GSoC Project*
* On-Screen navigation for 3D Map View is added with these features: zoom
in and out, pan, rotate with a compas-like widget, tilt up and down. It is
merged to the code base and will be released in QGIS 3.10.
  screenshot:
https://github.com/ismailsunni/GSoC-2019/raw/master/img/3d_on-screen_navigation.jpg
* 3D Measurement Tool to measure distance in the 3D Map View is added. It
is merged to the code base and will be released in QGIS 3.10.
  screenshot:
https://github.com/ismailsunni/GSoC-2019/raw/master/img/3d_measurement_tool.jpg
* 3D Point Rendering as A Billboard is added that gives the option to
render a point a billboard. The billboard can be set with a symbol from
QGIS (including SVG).
  The PR has been reviewed by QGIS core committers, ready to be merged in
upcoming days.
  * The Pull Request https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/31308
  * Last commit:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/31308/commits/c0f6982fc00da7284f9960ef25c798e740c52e5e
  screenshot:
https://github.com/ismailsunni/GSoC-2019/raw/master/img/3d_billboard_rendering_for_points.jpg

*Work to be done / potential future work*
* 3D Map View bookmarks is not implemented in this project duration due to
time constraint since the billboard rendering implementation needs more
time than the initial expectation.
* Extra feature for 3D On-Screen Navigation: Make it as a floating widget,
but it will need to add another dependency if implemented with QtQuick or
extra work if implemented with manual rendering in the 3D map scene
* Extra feature for 3D Measurement Tool: Show the Z-value difference
between two consecutive points
* Extra feature for 3D Billboard Rendering for Point:
  * Add data-driven symbol support: It needs multi-texture rendering,
currently it only supports one texture.
  * Add a vertical line from the feature to the billboard

*How to use the features*
* All merged featured can be used in QGIS master by building it from source
(https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL) or in the incoming QGIS
3.10 release
* Video about how to use it:

Hi Luca Manganelli,

Niiice!

Thanks!

In the video I see a circle that is cut in half, it is right?


Yes, it seems so. I am not sure either since sometimes it happens sometimes
it's not. I also opened the same project with QGIS 3.8.1, it shows the same
thing. Perhaps the problem is already there (not related to the feature
that I develop) or the project that I have. I haven't checked further. See:

Best regards.

Unfortunately, it doesn't fix the problem. It still behaves exactly like
the previous approach. Perhaps I missed something?

Best regards.

Hi Nyall,

Thanks for the reply!

Sure.

I looked over your branch, and it seems the issue is in saving and

The billboard changes IF the previous billboard is not a symbol. But IF the
previous billboard is a symbol, and I changed the symbol's properties (e.g.
color, rotation, shape) the billboard stays the same.

In my latest code (pushed by now), I set the billboard to use an external
image (the success-kid.png) if the symbol's color is white (for debugging
purpose).

If I set the symbol to white, the billboard uses the success-kid as the
billboard (no matter what is the previous billboard as expected).
If the previous symbol is the* success-kid, *then I changed the symbol's
properties it will change as expected.
If the previous symbol is not the *success-kid*, then I changed the
symbol's properties,  it won't change the billboard.

When I close QGIS and reopen it, the billboard will show as expected. So, I
think it's not an issue in saving and restoring the symbol.

Previously, I thought the problem is the changed signal from the button or
the saving and restoring, but it seems it is something else.

Best regards.

[QGIS-Developer] GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement: Week 11 Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Dear QGIS developers,

Here is my 11th-week report for my GSoC Project[4]. You can also check the
project wiki page [2]. Comments and suggestions are welcome :)

GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement Week 11 Report

*Period*: 5 August 2019 - 11 August 2019

*Report*
1. What did I complete this week?
   - Fixing transparency for the billboard to make it smoother on the edge.
It looks better than the previous result, but still not as smooth as I
expected

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1421861/62839460-4f181d80-bc8a-11e9-9387-b7800fdfbc3b.png
   - Adding the layer parameter to the QgsSymbolButton, so that user can
set the symbol using the data from the layer (like common symbol)
   - A lot of debugging why the billboard symbol does not change when the
symbol changed. It does change when I switched the symbol shape (e.g. from
billboard to torus to billboard) or when the altitude clamping is changed
or when the size is changed.
   - Set size from the symbol, still needs some tweak since the billboard
seems too small or too big.
   - Get a fix from Peter regarding the problem with the shader syntax in
macOS
2. What am I going to achieve for next week?
   - Solve using a symbol from QgsSymbolButton
   - Fixing the size issue
3. Is there any blocking issue?
   - Changing symbol doesn't always change the billboard
4. Code
   - Branch for billboard feature [1]
   - Repo for QT C++ billboard [3]
5. Misc
   - N/A

[QGIS-Developer] GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement: Week 10 Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Dear QGIS developers,

Here is my 10th-week report for my GSoC Project[4]. You can also check the
project wiki page [2]. Comments and suggestions are welcome :)

GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement Week 10 Report

*Period*: 30 July 2019 - 4 August 2019

*Report*
1. What did I complete this week?
   - Adding QgsSymbolButton for the UI (thanks to Nyall for the help)
   - Implementing billboard from the user input. It's still in progress.
Only work once, perhaps missing signal handling. Currently debugging it.
2. What am I going to achieve for next week?
   - Solve using a symbol from QgsSymbolButton
3. Is there any blocking issue?
   - N/A
4. Code
   - Branch for billboard feature [1]
   - Repo for QT C++ billboard [3]
5. Misc
   - This week I was quite busy with my last week of the block course and
got sick that needed me to have some bed rest. I couldn't manage to work on
the project like previous weeks. Fortunately, the class is finished, now I
can focus again on the project.

Hi Tim,

Ahaha, yes, it's different. I thought the same thing when I heard it for
the first time :D

Well, if you want to configure it from the data, it should be possible (or
I should make it possible) to do it from the symbol. Since we can use an
expression to configure the symbol, it's mean we can also configure the
billboard also.

Hopefully, I can show how to do it in this week.

Best regards.

Yeah :)

Woah, I follow your suggestion, it works. Thanks. I am still not sure why
though :)

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the late reply.

Thanks for the update! Maybe I missed it, but what is planned to eventually

The common usage is to put a label or sign of a place. Something like this
in Google map. In this case, the sign is better to have the same size and
always facing the same direction. When we zoom out, we can see where is the
place since the billboard will still have the same size. And when we rotate
or tilt the map, we can still see it properly also.

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1421861/62011693-eb66fe00-b17b-11e9-939d-d5cbb1955899.jpg

In my last week report, it's getting better, like the screenshot below.

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1421861/62011245-19e1da80-b176-11e9-8da4-df6f9bd6d004.jpg

Regarding a tooltip or a label text, I haven't thought about it. I am not
sure it's possible to do it even for a normal symbol. Using the identify
tool is one of the option to know what is it in the billboard.

Another good example of a billboard is this
https://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Build/Apps/Sandcastle/index.html?src=Billboards.html

I hope my explanation is quite clear.

Best Regards.

[QGIS-Developer] GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement: Week 9 Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Dear QGIS developers,

Here is my 9th-week report for my GSoC Project[4]. You can also check the
project wiki page [2]. Comments and suggestions are welcome :)


GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement Week 9 Report

*Period*: 22 July 2019 - 29 July 2019

*Report*
1. What did I complete this week?
   - Fixed billboard size when changing the viewport.
   - Rendered the billboard (more) properly by discarding the transparent
pixel. It's not ideal, but it doesn't show a black area around the symbol
anymore.

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1421861/62011245-19e1da80-b176-11e9-8da4-df6f9bd6d004.jpg
   - Fixed the size of billboard shown (previously it's too small)
   - Filled 2nd phase evaluation
2. What am I going to achieve for next week?
   - Make the billboard shows symbol from user
3. Is there any blocking issue?
   - Currently, I am trying to use QgsSymbolButton, but it doesn't show up
when I ran QGIS. I did the usual workflow (promote a QToolButton to
QgsSymbolButton). I have checked that the object exists, but it's not shown
and no error message. See the empty area in the style panel next to the
`Billboard Symbol` label.
4. Code
   - Branch for billboard feature [1]
   - Repo for QT C++ billboard [3]
5. Misc
   - Currently in a block course (there is a class every day), so I had
less time to work on it this week and need to reschedule the weekly
meeting. It will finish this Thursday.
   - Thanks to Martin for helping me debug the rendering issue.

Dear QGIS developers,

Here is my 8th-week report for my GSoC Project[4]. You can also check the
project wiki page [2]. Comments and suggestions are welcome :)


GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement Week 8 Report

*Period*: 15 July 2019 - 21 July 2019

*Report*
1. What did I complete this week?
   - Porting Billboard functionality from my experimental repo[3] to QGIS
codebase[1]. Success with a static image, and currently polishing with
default symbol (still looks ugly symbol).
   Sample result can be watched below (click and it will play on YouTube):
- QGIS 3D Billboard Rendering with Succes Kid (static) (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxsu0ZaDd0k)
- QGIS 3D Billboard Rendering with Default QgsSymbol - still ugly (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32Tv7y07vXg)
2. What am I going to achieve for next week?
   - Make the billboard shows symbol from user
   - Polishing
   - Fill 2nd evaluation
3. Is there any blocking issue?
   - It seems, adding an image (not from a file) to the texture is not
straight forward.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement: Week 7 Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Hi Tim and Mathieu,

Thanks! Do the billboards always face the camera? Or can you fly behind
> them?


It will always face the came, by definition :).

And will you give them a little pin and frame to anchor them to a place?


Do you mean like a line to connect the billboard to the terrain? There is a
wishlist for that. But the first step, render this billboard on QGIS first.

 Nice screencast. Are billboards able to handle alpha/opacity channel for a
> given raster?


Do you mean the billboard is transparent and we can see the stuff behind
it?

Well, I am not in that level of understanding of this 3D rendering. But I
can say it's not easy to do something transparent in the 3D world. Since we
need to reconsider how it will be done (without transparency means we just
ignore the covered surface of the 3D objects, while with transparency we
need to know the order of the object). That's what I got from my discussion
with Martin. *Please correct me if I am wrong Martin :)

Best regards/

Hi Tim,

Hehe, yeah, I am the one who missed it. I put it in my billboard repository
now: https://github.com/ismailsunni/qt3d-custom-shader/blob/master/README.md
(both
screenshot and screencast). I will update my weekly report to show the
screenshot and the screencast.

You can also see it here:

[QGIS-Developer] GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement: Week 7 Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Dear QGIS developers,

Here is my 7th-week report for my GSoC Project[7]. You can also check the
project wiki page [3]. Comments and suggestions are welcome :)

GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement Week 7 Report

*Period*: 8 July 2019 - 14 July 2019

2. What am I going to achieve for next week?
   - Move the ported billboard to QGIS code
   - Work on the applying billboard workflow
3. Is there any blocking issue?
   - Debugging in 3D stuff is not easy. Especially when something is not
shown up and no error message. I got an obstacle when the billboard didn't
show up. But finally Martin helps me, and it's fixed.
4. Code
   - Branch for billboard feature [1]
   - Repo for QT C++ billboard [4]
5. Misc
   - As I wrote on the previous weekly report, I only had a half time for
working on GSoC compared to the usual week.
   - PR for measurement tool is merged [2]
   - There are two small bugs in the measurement tools, I have created the
issues for myself [5] [6]. I will address it later.
   - For the next 3 weeks, I have different course schedule, so we will
move our weekly meeting schedule.

Hi Henrik,

I think you can set one as Maintainer and the other as Owners. It works for
us.

[QGIS-Developer] GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement: Week 6 Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Dear QGIS developers,

Here is my 6th-week report for my GSoC Project. You can read this report
better with image and GIF in the weekly report wiki [7]. You can also check
the project wiki page [3]. Comments and suggestions are welcome :)

GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement Week 6 Report

*Period*: 1 July 2019 - 7 July 2019

*Report*
1. What did I complete this week?
   - Addressing PR's review for the 3D measuring tool (only a few things)
[2]
   - Play around with Qt3D Experiment with Billboard from Martin [4]
   - Create a mockup for the billboard options and its issue [5]
   - Not so related to the billboard feature, I fix a very small bug in 3D
layer style dialog [6]
2. What am I going to achieve for next week?
   - Add UI for the billboard options
   - Port the billboard from Martin's experiment repo to QGIS
   - Testing
3. Is there any blocking issue?
   - N/A
4. Code
   - Branch in my repo [1] and the PR [2] for the 3D measurement tool
5. Misc
   - I have an exam and the unexpected deadline for thesis proposal this
week so that I couldn't manage to do a lot of stuff. I have talked with my
mentors about it and I requested to skip the 2nd weekly meeting.
   - On the 6th week, I supposed to have an exam (or any assignments
deadline in my study). It turns out the busiest period is from the mid of
5th week until mid of the 6th week. I will have more free time in the 6th
week, unlike my proposal.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement: Week 4 Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Hi Tim,

Sorry, I missed this email from you.

Thanks for the update Sunni! Do measurements happen in 3d too? For example
> if you measure to the top of a building do you get a different measurement
> compared to the base?


Yes, the measurements happen in 3D. You can measure the building height now
:)


> Maybe you could show the Z elevation change at each measurement row and
> the total elevation change  in the total box?


Hmm, that's a good idea. I will keep it on my list, and I will try to
implement it after the other 2 features finished. Thanks!

Hope you are feeling better now!


Thanks, I am feeling better indeed now :)

Best regards

[QGIS-Developer] GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement: Week 4 Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Dear QGIS developers,

Here is my 3rd-week report for my GSoC Project. You can read this report
better with image and GIF in the weekly report wiki [6]. You can also check
the project wiki page [3]. Comments and suggestions are welcome :)

GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement Week 4 Report

*Period*: 17 June 2019 - 23 June 2019

*Report*
1. What did I complete this week?
   - Replicate UI from 2D measurement tool to the 3D measurement tool
dialog.
 Almost all functionalities are replicated, except:
 - Show help (the behavior is added, but since there is no chapter for
it currently. It's disabled for now)
 - Configuration (already started working on it, but time is quite
limited last week since I feel a little bit unwell last week)

 List of implemented behaviors can be found in [4]. You can see it on a
GIF [5].

)
   - Adding map tool for camera control in 3D view (similar to the Pan tool
in 2D view) to make it more consistent and easier to see what's the active
tool.
   - Change the cursor for 3D identify tool for consistency with 2D one.
   - Adding missing `QgsDistanceArea::MeasureLine3D` for `QgsPoint`, unit
test is added.
   - Trying to fix the rendering issue, but still no luck.
2. What am I going to achieve for next week?
   - Finish the configuration
   - Try again with the rendering issue
   - Wrap up PR if the all is finished (currently a draft)
   - Some testing
   - Start working on the 3rd feature, point as a billboard.
3. Is there any blocking issue?
   - Yes, the line is rendered but the color is random and rendered as 2D.
The line will be gone if I hide/show another line [2].

Re: [QGIS-Developer] translate plugin gui and log messages

[Ismail Sunni]

Hello,

Perhaps it's overkill, but we can use Docker to run the script for managing
the translation (update, compile, and see how many untranslated strings).
You can find an example
https://github.com/inasafe/inasafe/blob/develop/Makefile#L346

I find it easier even if I use Linux since I don't need to install the
required package to run the scripts one by one.

Unfortunately, installing Docker on Windows is not easy AFAIK, unless it's
Windows 10 Pro.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement: Week 3 Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Thanks, Nyall, Tim, and Luca

Do you think you'll bump into the same widget-over-3d issue as you
> encountered earlier here?


Yes, but I think the measurement dialog does not need to be always on top
(not like the navigation widget).  The difference :

- Both the navigation widget and the 3D map view must be seen when using
the navigation widget
- Measurement dialog can be below the 3D map view while using it, and the
user can see it after that.

So, it the limitation of QWidget on 3DWindows won't be a problem in this
case.

How are you planning on doing the actual 3d length calculation? AFAIK

Yeah, I stumble on that one. There is no measure between QgsPoint (but QGIS
has for QgsPointXY). I think I found another missing stuff related to
QgsPoint, but I forget.

I agree that we need to have this feature (it's natural to have one). I
tried to implement it actually. But, after the discussion with Martin, we
will do a simpler approach first by calculating the euclidean distance in
the map unit. From here, we will convert to another unit.

Thanks for the feedback Nyall

Best regards.

[QGIS-Developer] GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement: Week 3 Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Dear QGIS developers

Here is my 3rd-week report for my GSoC Project. You can read this report
better with image and GIF in the weekly report wiki [4]. You can also check
the project wiki page [3]. Comments and suggestions are welcome :)

# GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement Week 3 Report

*Period*: 10 June 2019 - 16 June 2019

*Report*
1. What did I complete this week?
   - Implement a concrete class of 3D map tool to understand how it can get
the clicked position
   - Use a temporary line layer to store the clicked position
   - Render the line but still has some problem (see blocker)
2. What am I going to achieve for next week?
   - Fixing the rendering issue
   - Implement measurement tool window (re-use the 2D version if possible)
   - Polish the functionalities
3. Is there any blocking issue?
   - Yes, the line is rendered but the color is random and rendered as 2D.
The line will be gone if I hide/show another line [2].

Re: [QGIS-Developer] GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement: Week 2 Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Hi Tim and Mathieu,

Yes, that issue was a blocker in week 1 [1]. I have discussed with Martin
and Peter. Martin suggests 3 alternatives for it:

   1. Using QtQuick --> Adding dependencies, it will need to go through QEP
   and so on
   2. Render it as a 3D object (like Tim said) --> too much work
   3. Doing as normal QWidget (like current implementation, the alternative
   that we chose)

I also feel that the current implementation is not what I expect. The first
proposal was also a floating widget. Unfortunately, I didn't know that it's
not possible by using QWidget on top of Qt3DWindow at that time I wrote the
proposal.

Here I am not sure what will happen (e.g. is current work mergeable or
not). Perhaps if I had some extra time left at the end of the GSoC project
timeline (I put some small buffer time) I can try to go with the 2nd
alternative.

Maybe Martin or Peter have some comments about this?

Anyway, thanks for the feedbacks, Tim and Mathieu!

Hi Nyall

Just a thought -- did you try splitting this navigation widget off

We had a discussion about this and since the tool-style window will be on
top and the 3D map view is also on top, they will "fight". I tried a little
experiment with another tool window, and the result is the window is merged
in a tab style window.

We also feel the same, but it seems for this GSoC project, that's the best
way I can go since we have time limitation. Hopefully, we can make it
better later.


Nice progress Ismail, keep up the great work!


Thanks, Nyall

Best regards.

Wow, this is more or less what I want to do also. In my case, I want to use
QGIS docker image and add a python script to handle the input. I put my
code in https://github.com/ismailsunni/docker-qgis3-model. It's still in
exploration mode, and still not working with dynamically using a model from
the user. Hopefully, it will be done soon (at least at the end of my course
semester :D ). This for my school project actually, but perhaps it can be
useful for other people.

I use a YAML  file to define the input and output since I feel it's not
easy to put the long parameter after the command.

After reading the QEP and another QEP about official docker image [1], so
this Docker image [2] is not yet an official one?

It's mostly done at

The implementation seems will be easier to use in Windows. Since by using
Docker, Windows user needs to install Docker first, and it's really not
straight forward unless you have Win 10 Pro.

Thanks for sharing Nyall. My search engine did not show the QEP or your
branch to me :)

HI Luigi,

Thanks for the pointer, it's really helpful. Now I got my model registered
:)

I convert it to Python script first, then add it as you said.

Next, I will check if it's working properly

Best regards

[QGIS-Developer] [GSoC 2019 - QGIS 3D Improvement] Community Bonding Period Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Dear QGIS Developers,

Here is my update from the GSoC community bonding. You can also find it in
https://github.com/ismailsunni/QGIS/wiki/Community-Bonding-Period

Community Bonding Period

*Overview*
The community bonding period started from 6 May 2019 until 26 May 2019. In
this community bonding period, my mentor, Martin Dobias, helps me to start
the introduction [1] to the mailing list. I introduce myself and the
project that I will work on [2]. I have already explained the project and
asked for feedback before the proposal submission to the developer mailing
list [3]. I also sent a similar email to the SOC [4].

With my mentors (Martin and Peter), we have met twice virtually via video
call during the community bonding. For some quick questions, we also use a
messaging platform. For the coding period, we agree to meet twice a week.
Additionally, I have met with both of my mentors offline before the
community bonding/GSoC announcement.

In term of the QGIS project, I have already set up my developer environment
(and build frequently). I have been quite familiar with the development
process (repository, pull request, issue tracker, documentation, QEP,
communication, the organization, etc).

For the technical aspect, my main task in the project is learning about 3D
programming and fresh my Qt C++. For this, my mentor suggested me to learn
from LearnOpenGL [5]. I also did some coding with Qt 3D with C++. The code
can be checked in my Github Repository [6]. Perhaps can be useful for
others since I couldn't find a good Qt 3D C++ tutorial out there.

Additionally, I tried to go to the QGIS 3D codebase and do some research
about the implementation (e.g. QDial for the on-screen navigation [7])

Regarding the project, I also made a Github issue to track my progress for
my first improvement (On-Screen Navigation)[8]. I made a mockup for it also.

Lastly, on the GSoC itself, I have made a Wiki to put everything related to
my project [9]. I will update it regularly (or weekly).

*Checklist*
Here some checklist that I have done in the community bonding period:
- [x]  _Request writing access to the OSGeo wiki, you need it to edit all
info related to your project_
- [x] _Get to know your mentors, establish with them a way of
communication, that can be video call, chat, email, etc. You are supposed
to communicate regularly and often with your mentors._
- [x] Familiarize with the community practices and processes: how does the
community communicate? Where is the source code published? How does the bug
tracker work?
- [x] Introduce yourself and your project in SOC mailing list as well as
the mailing list used by your software community, and start a public
dialogue to gather feedback and refine your project accordingly.
- [x] Redefine your project with more detailed weekly milestones, with the
help of your mentors and the feedback of the community, embedding the 3
evaluation periods in your timetable, adding more details, figuring out
potential issues, etc.
- [x] Become familiar with the developer manuals
- [x] Study material relevant for your project
- [x] Install the developer environment and get ready to start coding
- [ ] Participate in Mailing Lists / IRC / etc, try and help users
  > I was trying to do it (reading the mailing list often), but
unfortunately, I couldn't answer the questions that came up
- [ ] Start coding for bug fixes NOT necessarily related to your project:
it is a good exercise to become familiar with the code base. Include these
bug fixes into your report due at the end of bonding period.
  > No. My mentors suggested me to learn the 3D code base instead.
- [x] Set up your repository and wiki page for your project. You are free
to blog/tweet about it too, if you wish. Don’t forget to include these info
in the report due at the end of the bonding period.
- [x] Ask your mentors for guidance on how to commit to the project
repository. Bear in mind that you should commit often, not just at
evaluation periods. However, depending on the policy given by your mentors,
you might be requested to commit in your own repository and make a PR only
when the code is mature to be included in the main repo. Discuss the
details with your mentors.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] GSoC 2019 for QGIS 3D Improvement Proposal

[Ismail Sunni]

Hi Luigi,

Yeah, like Martin and Peter said, it's out of the scope of the proposal.
Martin and I actually discussed it also. But I agree, after reading it
again, it does give a hint that I will implement that. I think it's better
to remove it for now and focus on the most common use case one. What do you
think?

Hi Sigeal

I also had some similar issues while testing the 3D window on W10 with QGIS
> 3.6.1 :
> - sometimes, the 3D window loses its controls (no title bar, no status
> bar), but I get them back if I resize the window with the mouse (on click
> release)
> - the 3D window appears in View -> Panels menu, but not in the contextual
> menu (right click in the empty toolbar zone)
> - if I uncheck the 3D window in the View -> Panels menu, it is closed and
> I can't get it back
> - I had crashes while trying to dock a new 3D window in an existing one
> (which normally create a new tab)
> - it would be great to be able to minimize 3D windows


I will check it, but not sure will add it to the proposal. I also wonder
that there is no minimize 3D windows. I think it will be great if we can
have a list of 2D and 3D view that we can close and open later.

Thanks for all your comments :)

Best regards.

Ah really? I can't remember get that issue in Mac before. (un)fortunately,
I am not using Mac anymore, so I am not sure if can help with that. Perhaps
Peter can check it :)

Haha, nice idea! Let me check if I prefer star wars or Avengers :D

Thanks also for your comment in the Google Docs.

Hmm, yeah, I will think about it in the design. I agree, if it can be used
on other part, it will be better for sure.

 Hi Nyall,

Great proposal Ismail -- all these features would be lovely to see!

As Martin said, it's a good point. I will be happy to re-use existing code,
I think it's a win-win solution.

Thanks, Nyall

Yeah, regarding the billboard, that's one of the common use cases that
Martin and I discussed. So it's under my radar to have something like that
in the implementation. Btw, thanks for your comments in the Google Doc.

Those two ideas are interesting and should be implemented somehow in the
future. But as you said, perhaps it's too much for the GSoC proposal :). I
can't promise, but who knows what will happen in the future :)

I can only add that I am also happy that Ismail would like to

Thanks for your help and guidance, Martin :)

[QGIS-Developer] GSoC 2019 for QGIS 3D Improvement Proposal

[Ismail Sunni]

Dear QGIS developers,

My name is Ismail Sunni, I am from Indonesia. Currently, I am studying in
Germany for my master degree. Since I am now a student, I want to
participate in this year Google Summer of Code for QGIS. I am interested to
contribute and work on the 3D improvement
<https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2019-Ideas#qgis-3d-improvements>.
It's still young and I think that I can help with making it more complete.

I have discussed with Martin Dobias for a more detail idea and start my
proposal. Now, my proposal is more or less ready (according to me). But it
would be better if I get some feedback or suggestions from the QGIS
community itself. Since it will give impact to the community.

If you are interested, you can check my proposal in this URL:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RcXiEyziQyGurqDGRBN3g-het33liVD81WFjv8qQlt8/edit?usp=sharing

Please don't be hesitate to make a comment either in this email thread or
even in the document itself.

Thank you

Best regards

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Sentry support for QGIS crashes / minidumps

[Ismail Sunni]

Hi

Trying to answer Mathias's questions:

Since I have no idea how it works exactly and what's possible to do with
> it, could you quickly describe how it's working together with other
> issue trackers?


Some features that interesting (at least to me):

   1. If there is a bug, you can assign someone directly in the sentry
   (must be a user for sure) or even you can create a GitHub ticket if you set
   it up (not sure if there is a support for redmine).
   2. We can mark a bug as fixed in the next release. It's really useful to
   make thing automatic
   3. We can see how often a bug occurs (better planning to do bug fix),
   and some statistic and nice graph (and weekly overview)
   4. We can see a bug that occurs again (regression)
   5. The bug report can be set up to provide some environment information
   (version, OS, etc) *perhaps we can make it optional to the user

But I think we need to ask the user whether they want to "send the bug
report" automatically to the sentry or not, since it may contain some
private things.

If you mean QGIS variable, or project variable, or layer variable, you can

Re: [QGIS-Developer] QGIS PyQt version conflict

[Ismail Sunni]

Hi, I (or we) also use the same method as Arnaud.

The only drawback is you can’t get the autocomplete from the python file (from 
the ui file). But the benefit is greater: no need to ship generated python 
code, no need to compile every time we change the .ui file. The development is 
faster now.

I don’t think we need to see the generated python code from the .ui file.

You can see here for the utilities method : 
https://github.com/inasafe/inasafe/blob/develop/safe/utilities/resources.py#L107
 

 

Best Regards

Re: [Qgis-developer] Ideas concerning plugin deployment

[Ismail Sunni]

Hi Magnus,

In InaSAFE plugin, we also use git-archive, but since we use git submodule,
we use git archive-all (available in brew or pip) [1]. We create script to
do the release of the plugin to make it easier [2]. We add more
functionalities like removing test related files (to make the size smaller)
and create windows installer for it.

Best Regards

[Qgis-developer] Failed to build QGIS master on OSX

[Ismail Sunni]

Hi everyone

Today I tried to build QGIS on OSX by following the tutorial in this README
(https://github.com/qgis/homebrew-qgisdev/blob/master/development/README.md).
I pull the latest commit from QGIS also (sha: f0489c9fc6). But, I got this
error:

/Users/ismailsunni/dev/cpp/QGIS/src/core/qgspoint.h:287: error: invalid
> operands to binary expression ('std::ostream' (aka 'basic_ostream')
> and 'char *')
>   os << p.toString().toLocal8Bit().data();
>   ~~ ^  ~


and

/Users/ismailsunni/dev/cpp/QGIS/src/core/qgsrectangle.h:228: error: invalid
> operands to binary expression ('std::ostream' (aka 'basic_ostream')
> and 'char *')
>   return os << r.toString().toLocal8Bit().data();
>  ~~ ^  ~


Does anyone have experience about this also? I have asked Tim and Etienne,
they also got the same problem.

Best Regards.
