Re: [Qgis-developer] Re: show grid on map canvas (similiar to grid used in composer) - strategy?
As we all know, the plugin approval process is still somewhat slow, and this plugin is under development (not even 'experimental' yet). Could we streamline this process by adding a flag 'development' (similar to experimental) which makes is available to those who allow them? This by all means would be similar to adding the plugin to another repository. Another option would be to add a parallel repository (on the same server as the official, say http://pyqgis.org/repo/dev) which makes all unapproved plugins available?

I tested your plugin with 1.7.4-4 on Mac 10.6.8 and it works fine. One suggestion: maybe allow the rotation for be about a chosen point, instead of only SE corner? That's good to hear. The reason it rotates about the origin is because my main use-case is for archaeological geophysical prospection where there isn't a need for an arbitrary rotation point. That said, it wouldn't be hard to put something in to handle that. -John -- One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. - AA Milne ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

Basically I think there could be 2 concurrent and complementary ways to implement grids: 1) basic grid in core, similar to what is already in the composer map (and in my branch) 2) more refined grid(s) as plugin/vector layers, whose rendering order can be fine-tuned Nice work Etienne! Over the weekend, I've knocked up a little plugin of the second type - a plugin layer that uses the new symbology system. It's marked as experimental, and there are a few things on the TODO list, but it can be found in my plugin repo: http://109.123.122.13/qgis/plugins.xml One of the todo's is saving the styling information - I can't find where I can get the XML of the symbol for my writeXml() function. Any ideas? ... I tried your Grid Overlay plugin and this is what I found. Same error as Etienne reported: Traceback (most recent call last): File /home/tourigny/.qgis/python/ plugins/grid_overlay/gridpluginlayer.py, line 63, in draw self.symbol.renderPolyline(polyline, renderContext) ... it also occurs when I cancel the dialog. The plugin layer is made regardless of cancelling dialog on initial plugin launch. When I click the 'Set Style...' button I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File /Users/larrys/.qgis/python/plugins/grid_overlay/gridpropertiesdialog.py, line 42, in chooseStyle self, False) TypeError: QgsSymbolV2SelectorDialog(QgsSymbolV2, QgsStyleV2, QgsVectorLayer, QWidget parent=None, bool embedded=False): argument 3 has unexpected type 'GridPropertiesDialog' Is that not implemented yet? I noticed in your metadata.txt and __init__.py you assigned the Layers category, but the action doesn't show up there. Does it need to use the following to be added to/removed from the Layer menu? (worked when I edited gridoverlay.py): self.iface.insertAddLayerAction(self.action_newGrid) self.iface.removeAddLayerAction(self.action_newGrid) Tested with QGIS 1.8 rev.69ef4de on Mac 10.6.8. Looking forward to using your plugin on the current map I am working with.

That's odd, I'm using 1.7.4 and Python 2.7.2, but I can't imagine the API to have changed. It runs fine on both my Linux and Windows boxes.
