Re: [Qgis-developer] Good news from Qt - more modules available to opensource

Great news !

Here's some good news coming from the Qt camp -
http://blog.qt.io/blog/2016/01/13/new-agreement-with-the-kde-free-qt-foundation/

What this means is that we'll now be able to take advantage of modules
which were previously only available to commercial Qt customers.

For me, having access to Qt Charts is a big one. We could finally have
a decent, good-looking, fully integrated charting library usable by
composer, etc.

See eg http://doc.qt.io/QtCharts/qtcharts-barchart-example.html,
http://doc.qt.io/QtCharts/qtcharts-areachart-example.html,
http://doc.qt.io/QtCharts/qtcharts-percentbarchart-example.html,

http://doc.qt.io/QtCharts/qtcharts-scatterchart-example.html and
http://doc.qt.io/QtCharts/qtcharts-temperaturerecords-example.html

Qt Data Visualisation also looks useful, eg
http://doc.qt.io/QtDataVisualization/qtdatavisualization-bars-example.html,
http://doc.qt.io/QtDataVisualization/qtdatavisualization-qmlsurface-example.html

Great stuff! (When we finally move to Qt5 only that is ;) )

·A long term stable version for ex. 12 months with bugfix only


Those sponsoring a feature may feel that a year of wait until they find 
it in a public is quite long.



·A developer version for 4 months with new features and bugfixes =
Stable version with short bugfix-period = New developer……..


Most of the users of this dev version will be common users, before the 
release of 2.0 I often saw 1.9 versions installed and people on support 
forums suggesting the use of qgis-dev



I do know it will give the developers more work – I do know it will cost
more money – But I´m sure a lot of administrators will recommend,  use
and support if we get a more stable environment.


How many administrator are currently pushing to sponsor msi packages for 
their deployment ?

[Qgis-developer] Git help needed

2013-05-02 Thread MORREALE Jean Roc

Hi,

Could a git expert tell me how to clean my repo ?

The situation : my fork origin/master is synced with upstream/master but 
if I do a pull request, some old commits are taken into account even if 
they aren't relevant.


The desired solution : wipe all my local history and get a pure copy 
of upstream as if I just forked, without deleting my actual github fork.

Hi Werner,

Thank for the answer, I already tried git reset but got stuck on that :

$ git reset --hard upstream/master
fatal: ambiguous argument 'upstream/master': unknown revision or path 
not in the working tree.

Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git command [revision...] -- [file...]'

But applying the command 'git remote update' before it did the trick !

I didn't knew this command, should it be used instead of fetch/pull 
upstream ?

Generally you should work and push branches to github and issue pull
requests on those.  It will make it easier to keep your pending commits
and changes out of your master branch so you can update it like normal

git checkout -b mywork

do you stuff..

git commit -m My changes

git push origin mywork

Pull request on mywork branch.

You can then keep master in line by doing:

git checkout master
git pull --rebase upstream/master

Not #338 because the curved tail, the grided globe + the hands are not 
usable for small icons (taskbar, favicon, etc.).


I'm rooting for #50/#308.

Maybe should we ask for a 16x16 version ?

Le 01/05/2013 06:29, Mathieu Pellerin a écrit :

New logos withdrawn.

My 2 cents:

I feel like design #50 is overly generic. Simply logos are good, but
wondering whether this one went on the road of simplification to the
extreme, leaving a logo with a *slight* gap in meaningfulness. There
could be ways to remedy to that while keeping overall design intact.
Maybe by having some sort of faux-3d on the green triangle using
gradients to make it more like an arrow.

#338 has much more identify, both hinting at GIS and cooperativeness of
open source project. The color palette could be improved (maybe dark
gray or black for text, and a tango color scheme based colors for
hands?), as well as making GIS a bit smaller, moving up, and allow space
for 'desktop, android, etc.'.

[Qgis-developer] Add a simpler default setting for a fresh installation

2012-04-16 Thread MORREALE Jean Roc

Hi,

Would it be possible to change the default parameters of QGIS ? For now 
a new user gets all the tool bars on the first launch and most of the 
tools are not visible. Some such as advanced digitizing, grass, overview 
should be off by default. The others should be spread out, for example 
the navigation bar could be set on one side of the application.


Somme other changes could be :

- to activate the north icon and the scale bar for the canevas
- to add a default 10 pixel radius for snapping tolerance and vertex edit
- activate show makers only for selected features
- switch to zoom to mouse cursor to have the same behavior than most 
of the web-mapping tools


These changes would make the software less frightening, less cluttered 
for newcomers.

In my experience, new users are quite fond of having them :
- the north, so then they realize that their data isn't projected correctly
- the graphic scale, because they can't figure a number but can relate 
to a line (and use their thumb to compare (not a joke))



Le 16/04/2012 11:11, Andreas Neumann a écrit :

Hi,

I agree with all of your ideas, except for adding the north icon and the
scalebar by default. The map always points north in QGIS, so why the
arrow? Also, the map scale is already in the status bar, so why the
double information?

All other suggestions make sense to me.

I would also add the following default settings:

Tab Map Tools:
- mode: Top down, stop at first hit
- checkbox enabled for open object form if only a single result ...

GDAL can use ecw's sdk 3.3 or 4, the standalone qgis version is built 
against 3.3 which is an outdated piece of junk but is under a licence 
that allows some kind of redistribution.


On the other side you've the free 4.x sdk which works better but is a 
really pain to get and joined by an even more painful license. Or you 
can buy it.


And then you also have to take in account that if you use their binaries 
then you are not even garanted that your Windows desktops will accept 
them without throwing up because of some dll/mvc++ mismatch.


My advice would be to ask the IGN to provide you the TIFF and then adapt

I thought you might say that! Are their any heavily trademarked

be to use the local neighbourhood of the university?

There is the nearest thing with Lisbon in its name and GIS related -

And there is some nice historical map which would be great (moons are

Very cool - are these icons the ones that you can access already

No these icons are converted from public domain US government sets, as
of Oct 2011. They have not been incorporated into QGIS yet, but will be
shortly. After talking with Nathan and Gary I think we can find a way to
pull a copy from the osgeo svn every once in a while, say when building
a new release, so maybe they'll be in QGIS 1.7.4

Alternately maybe a plugin should be made to pull them in as an optional

Re: [Qgis-developer] What is the C++ Plugin writing Workflow?

Le 28/12/2011 12:07, arunthe...@gmail.com a écrit :

Hello Devs,

In connection with the previous announcement that, I am planning to build
the Heatmap plugin and people suggesting that I use C++ for it so that it
gets native support, I have a few doubts regarding this.

Firstly what exactly is the workflow? My rudimentary understanding is that,
C++ plugins are shipped with the software. So I need to create a folder for
my plugin inside the Quantum-GIS/src/plugins/ folder and write my code
inside that folder, and compile the entire Quantum-GIS for errors.

I think I am wrong, because, one cannot compile the entire codebase just to
verify errors in 5 or 6 files. So how exactly is it done?

I have been hunting around the web and the hub.qgis for this info, for
about 2 days. Most docs talk about the Qgis 0.8 era development only.

To share plugin sources you can use any SCM service such as GitHub,

recomendations
on this.

IMHO it would be prefab to have a default location (git instance) for
all plugins, otherwise we'll end up quickly with a mess, especially
considering the number of plugins and plugin developers is quickly
increasing, and many of them will be possibly broken during the move to
2.0 APIs.
All the best.



Good evening everyone,

As this code includes french comments and a french-only UI, I'm 
proposing to host the code on my github repo to translate it. Once it is 
done any person interested could fork it and take the maintainership.


The two plugins are :
- a MapInfo's .wor importation tool, quite advanced
- a fork of the Select plugin which is core since a few release, this 
one brings feature like revert selection


Thanks Alain for sharing these tools !

The actual logo is very difficult to read at small size (32x32 and 
16x16) because of the font used and all the details (gradient, shadow, 
arrow). The SVG source file is a mess (non-blending parts, incoherent 
shadow) and not scalable. And I would add that integrating the logo into 
a modern-looking publication makes people die somewhere, I'm pretty sure 
that's a fact.

The idea of dual licensing is that they would pay up front to use

under a

commercial license.  So it _would_ bring a positive return to the

project (a

new source of revenue).  No need to hope to be repaid someday.


Who will then sell the license ? The osgeo ? A new QGIS foundation ? Is 
that their roles ? I still can't see how selling closed software or 
helping a company get an advantage over one who will not take its client 
as hostages is promoting the open source gis idea.

git branch --track release-1_7_1 origin/release-1_7_1

git pull origin release-1_7_1

If you can identify the commit id of your original commit, you can

git cherry-pickhash

Then push it up to the release branch:

git push origin release-1_7_1

In the french-speaking community there is two big forums where users 
come to get support for qgis, they are better referenced than our forum 
on google so it is often their first stop. I'm sure that there must be 
an equivalent place for english speakers, if so it would better to 
redirect non-ML people to these forums rather than keeping our own with 
a lower reply rate.

[Qgis-developer] GPL in the Tips (warning: license's bigotry inside)

2011-03-26 Thread MORREALE Jean Roc

Hi,

I'm translating the Tips, this sentence caught my eye :

The GPL places a restriction that any modifications you make must be 
made available to the Quantum GIS project


This is misleading, you only have to share your modification if you 
distribute the binaries to somebody else. And even then you only have to 
give access to the source code to the receivers, you don't have to send 
your changes directly to the project.


For example if an geographic institute called *** made a client based on 
QGIS supporting its in-house DRM access protocol, it would only have to 
make the code available when distributing this version outside of the 
institute.

Re: [Qgis-developer] SpatiaLite very slow with QGIS 1.7

Hi Noli, hi Royce,

I've just spent several hours attempting to build the
current QGIS-Trunk SVN snapshot on my cheap and old
second hand MacMini (incredibly slow hardware, really
an extenuating time consuming process ...).

Anyway, these are my personal findings:

- Mac Os X 10.5 Intel
- not using frameworks at all (only the Qt one)
- using MacPorts libraries instead
- and using INTERNAL SpatiaLite (2.4.0-RC4)

+ QGIS on Mac Os X runs exactly as it run on Windows
+ I was completely unable to observe any issue about
the Identify tool
+ opening an 80+ layers DB takes an absolutely
reasonable time
+ closing the same DB is a quite immediate process

So, I'm completely unable to tell you why the 'standard'
QGIS distribution for Mac Os X shows so many problems
related to SpatiaLite 2.4.0-RC4 as you've reported.

At this point I strongly suspect that something is
broken or misconfigured in the most recent SpatiaLite
Mac Os X framework, because simply avoiding to use
this one and building so to use the INTERNAL spatialite
instead fixes any issue.

Hi Jean Roc,

ticket #3002 isn't related at all to SpatiaLite
and/or to the QGIS own SpatiaLite data provider.

I've just attempted to save a (quite small sized)
Shapefile as a SQLite DB following the procedure
reported on ticket #3002.

Yes, I can confirm, you are perfectly right: the
export process is incredibly slow (  10 minutes)
and strongly inefficient (spatialite_gui performs
the same identical task just in few seconds).

Anyway, at the end of the process a basic SQLite
DB was generated.
Please note well: this is *not* at all a SpatiaLite
own DB; this one is an OGR/FDO own DB (a completely
different thing, using an independent code base).


Sorry for the mistake, I didn't knew there was a difference in the ouput.


So for sure this issue is entirely caused by OGR,
and has absolutely nothing to do with SpatiaLite.

Just as a working hypothesis: during this painful
export I noticed a very low CPU activity, and an
impressively huge disk traffic.
This is exactly what I'm expecting from a badly
implemented process attempting to perform lots and
lots of SQL INSERTs without declaring a corresponding
BEGIN and COMMIT ... and such a condition notoriously
is a real performance killer for any transactional
DBMS. my 2 cents :-)


Can you confirm that it is due to OGR ? ogr2ogr with SPATIALITE=yes is 
faster than QGIS 'save as'

Only 4 icons should ideally be needed :

There is a movement within the OSGeo community to centralize all the

the Graphics mailing list

These things tend to not take a ton of space so it's fairly likely that
they would just be included in QGIS, no need to retrieve them from the
web. That said I agree that some way to catalog (keyword) and search for
icons could be quite useful, the big problem is where to stick that
metadata within the svg files.

Thanks,

Hi Vincent and Alex,

You are absolutely right. It's already time to prepare map icons for

Hi Robert,

A few months ago, I started dispatching your icon set into individual 
svg files to get it like the default qgis set and to ease the work on it 
as separate packages means the possibility to follow the evolution of 
one icon in a svn repo.


Unfortunatly I've not been able to achieve this port due to lack of time 
and some difficulty to browse the source file. I can upload what I've 
done somewhere if interested.


I planned to do some work on your icon set to bring more contrast (it is 
difficult for some to distinguish between active and unactive).


About the map icon sets, having them is one thing but for now it would 
be too painful to browse in the composer item tab without a filtering 
tool (the folder search doesn't fill this gap).

Hi Andreas,

I'm following trunk (svn junkie) so during this meeting I've shown up 
the label properties panel and it was appreciated but this is not the 
excepted functionnality. These annotations are text objects and do not 
derivate from an attribute, the user can manualy modify their font size, 
their oritentation, etc. It is a feature available in MapInfo (ArcGIS 
too) and users are expecting it. This isn't the best way to label a map 
but even with the huge improvements brough by PAL/labelv2 (even if it 
isn't ready to replace the old yet), manual editing is often required to 
get a correct output.


The development done by the MEEDDM was a way for some technical persons 
to get their hands into the PyQGIS API and a mean to know how easy it 
would be to make these changes. They want a deskop GIS that can evolve 
and can be modified, both things MapInfo isn't. Further works will be 
coordinated with the community as there is a real will to mutualize the 
work. If everything goes well, you will soon see new names on this list.


For notice, at first they estimated the time needed for first OpenWOR 
version to 30 days, it turned out that 7 days were enough...

Hi Jean,

Thank you for this interesting information. I understand that the
decision is still pending but that there is a positive attitude towards
QGIS.

As far as labeling/annotation features, there had been recent
improvements in the trunk. And there will be more. This work is funded
from the cities of Uster and Thun in Switzerland. The recent
improvements are around data-defined text properties (font-family, size,
color, rotation, offsets (vertical and horizontal), etc) - basically
porting the old data-defined settings to the new label engine.

Marco will also soon start work on manual label placement with the
option of having different anchor points (aligned with the Swiss
Interlis text placement). This would potentially also be useful for MEEDDM.

Are you aware that annotations also exist in newer QGIS versions? This
was funded by the Kanton of Solothurn. I don't know if the current
annotations satisfy your needs, but it is worth exploring. The
annotations as they are implemented currently are stored in the project
file, not in a separate layer. You probably want the annotation layer
type - but I think that this will be covered by the work mentioned in
the paragraph above. Please let us know your requirements regarding
labeling/annotation - Marco is currently working on them, and maybe your
requirements could be taken care of at the same time.

The Swiss QGIS users are coordinating QGIS development and sharing the
funding efforts as well. We collaborate with the companies Sourcepole
(Marco Hugentobler, Pirmin Kalberer) and Norbit (Jürgen Fischer). If you
are interested, we can also do more international
collaboration/coordination. Of course a lot of issues could be discussed
on the mailinglists, but there could be meetings as well, maybe also at
an upcoming Hackfest, or separate.

In my opinion, new features can be included quite fast into QGIS, if
funding/financing can be organized. Often faster than with commercial
software. Some coordination should be done to avoid double or triple
efforts (same feature developed several times by different parties) and
to maximize the benefits from the financial contributions.

Please keep us informed about the upcoming decision/plans of MEEDDM.

No decision has been taken yet but the general opinion on QGIS was
positive, the ministry's technical teams have already produced
documentation set for their internal formations and are conducting use
tests with several services. The main point was to determine if QGIS was
able to fulfill 100% of MapInfo's uses and the answer was mixed : no on
some aspects (no font/annotation layer type, different proportional
symbols aka #960, etc.) and far more on others (labelv2, symbology, sql,
etc.).

Several tests were also done to determine the effort needed to customize
QGIS, and two tools were developed :
- SelectPlusFr, a plugin based on Barry ROWLINGSON's SelectPlus
extending the selection tools
- OpenWOR, a plugin which allows to partly open .wor file in QGIS (I'll
post more on that later)

A decision on migrating part of the software base is still to be
discussed, but the technical team of the ministry already intends to
contribute code (aforementioned plugins at least) and would like to
provide financial support to QGIS in some way.

MORREALE Jean Roc

[Qgis-developer] Disable qgis mapserver at compilation

2010-09-12 Thread MORREALE Jean Roc

Hi,

Is there a way to compile the actual svn trunk without 'qgis mapserver' 
? I don't want to make a build depending on fcgi but I've not found if 
there is a cmake's flag for it. I don't feel confident enought to 
editing CMakeList.txt :p

Paolo, if it is not of a too high level, could it be possible to write a

I would like to help on this point but I don't know how.


Simple:

See also:

(and yes, Markus, this replies to your other suggestion too; see and below).
All the best.


Thanks, it's just a xml file so I think I'll be able to give a try :)

Re: [Qgis-developer] porting QGIS to Android?

2010-09-01 Thread MORREALE Jean Roc

Hi all.
Android, although not really free, is a very interesting platform for mobile. A 
range
on cheap and reasonably powerful tablets has been announced by various HW 
vendors, eg
http://www.archos.com
Is anybody interested in porting QGIS to Android? Does anybody have an idea on 
how
difficult this could be? What are the major issues, apart from resizing the 
dialogs?
Qt porting is underway: http://code.google.com/p/android-lighthouse/ but of 
course a
number of dependencies will have to be solved.
Any opinion?
All the best.


It depends on the aim (gps tracker, field editing, etc.) but a mobile 
gis is far from being a simple scale-down of the software, I would say 
that it would requires a complete GUI overhaul to fit with the reduced 
space screen and the limited user input. If you have the opportunity, 
give a try to Trimble TerraSync, this tool is an ergonomic masterpiece 
for small screens.

[Qgis-developer] HTML manual

2010-08-29 Thread MORREALE Jean Roc

Please don't hijack thread as it make harder to follow the discussion.

Le 29/08/2010 16:56, Noli Sicad a écrit :

I hope QGIS has html user manual aside from pdf manual.

It offers quick and easy access to what you need rather than
downloading the whole pdf which is quite big (e.g. 2 Mb) because of
the screenshots and figures. If you are user in the developing
countries or with a slow internet connection you don't want to
download this pdf manuals if it is bigger than 1 Mb.


An html version of the latex manual is on my ToDo-list but it isn't as 
simple as I expected. A latex version without any figures can be 
compiled easily if needed.



Html / website user manual promotes / offers visibility of the
project as well for example uDig has friendly manuals. Aside from it,
it is harder to read pdf manual when the manual has more than 10
pages.


The embedded pdf bookmarks are a killer feature, that and being able to 
drop a pdf on a usb key with the certitude that my technicians will be 
able to open it.



Probably we should consider Wiki Book /Wiki for QGIS, so users can
contribute as well. The QGIS plugins need documentation.


I'm all for it, the easiness of the contribution would be a definite 
and mediawiki (at least the one used by osgeo.org) allows to print a pdf.


But I'll not be the one doing the port :p

Re: [Qgis-developer] Integration of QGIS mapserver to svn?

+0 for QGIS Server and +1 for QGIS Mobile.

While I like QGIS Server as a name, there may be different QGIS
Servers in the future? Maybe a QGIS WFS server? Or a QGIS WPS or
geoprocessing server? Or a QGIS printserver?

I would see QGIS Server as a family of upcoming potential servers
and QGIS WMS server for the great work that Marco just did. I also
still like QGIS Mapserver or QGIS Webmap Server which actually
describes what it is - serving styled maps for web-connected devices
and applications.

Any other opinions? Andreas



mapserver is a word to avoid as it will be very difficult to search for 
it in google withouth getting all the results concerning th UMN 
MapServer, the MapServer extension in QGIS, etc.


ps : sorry for the doublon andreas, wrong button
