Re: [Qgis-developer] Merge of Arun's summer of code work
Hi Arun, 3. Old issues: Anything under the sun with respect to Symbology on the bug tracker. This would be great. Fixing first the issues listed here http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/Switching_from_Old_to_New_Symbology_and_Labeling would allow to drop the old symbology sooner than later. cheers -- Giovanni -- ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
Re: [Qgis-developer] Merge of Arun's summer of code work
Hi Martin, Arun and others I think this is great! My work on cpt-city color ramps is still evolving, and I was wondering in which ways it could benefit from your work. As far as I see it, here is how ramps would work: 1) an interface to browse a number of available gradients and import them into user's gradients. The entire cpt-city archive holds about 6000 gradients. I have prepared a reduced set (about 800) that we could provide optionally for qgis users, based on licenses and a broad selection (the one from cpt-city). The goal is to have a minimal set (about 100) that would be distributed with qgis. The current interface to browse these gradients needs an overhaul, and I was thinking of adopting a layout similar to the one you adopted for the style manager: a tree to the left with various ways to organize the gradients, a search feature, and a box to the right with the matching ramps. Because there are a number of ramps available, it might not fit well inside the style manager because it would add clutter. On the other hand, it could be useful to have it integrated directly, with a specific category in the tree and perhaps a specific tab page for the matching ramps. My preference is to use a dedicated dialog for this, very similar to the style manager, but I would appreciate feedback and of course a thumbs up/down to reuse your work. 2) once ramps are chosen they reside in the color ramps tab like other ramps. 3) import/export: cpt-city ramps are stored in standard svg linearGradient format. It would be nice to be able to import/export these from the style manager, and perhaps change the internal xml representation of color ramps to that format - or at least export in svg linearGradient. cheers, Etienne On Tue, Aug 14, 2012 at 5:25 PM, Martin Dobias wonder...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all I am happy to announce that I have just merged Arun's work on symbology.

Tim, yes, I too noticed it. I think I would work on the Symbol Levels dialog to accommodate that soon. Martin, I have a few things in mind which we could fix by chipping away bit by bit, 1. SIP Bindings: During developement, I ran into SIP binding breakages a number of times when compiling, but just deleted problematic functions to solve the compile issue. I think they need to be reworked. I have no prior experience in SIP, and have started reading about it. Any guidelines in this matter is welcome. This should be done first I think. 2. Automated tests: This you have mentioned to me already, and I think, we should get into that. This again a new area for me, but shouldn't take much time. 3. Old issues: Anything under the sun with respect to Symbology on the bug tracker. Any suggestions on how we could go on with the above is welcome. -- Regards Arunmozhi Twitter: @tecoholic Website: http://arunmozhi.in IRC Nick: teco ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
