[Qgis-user] Problem with Postgis-Manager plugin on OSX
Hi QGIS-Users and Martin, I am trying to use the Postgis-Manager Plugin on OSX-Leopard. I installed psycopg2 and use QGIS 1.0 from http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/mac/qgis-1.0.0.dmg.gz When I try to load the plugin, I am getting an error message complaining about a UnicodeEncodeError - see text below. Any idea on what I could do to fix the problem? Thanks a lot!

Any idea on what I could do to fix the problem? Hi Andreas, the plugin just wasn't prepared well for use with unicode strings. I've just released an updated version 0.4.5 which should fix all possible sources of this kind of errors, so give it a try to see whether it's fine. Now PostGIS Manager should be able to handle schemas, tables, column names and other identifiers with non-ascii characters fine.

This discussion came up on the gpsdrive list and i've included the pertinent parts for you review: From Hamish Bowman: For ENC support in GpsDrive it is still my hope that libS52 could be used to render the data, in a similar way as Mapnik is rendering OSM data now. see http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/gpsdrive/index.php?title=Marine_Howto (please help improve the wiki page!) http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/BSB_data http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/S-57_data#libS52 http://openev.cvs.sourceforge.net/openev/contrib/S52/ the very tricky bit is choosing which layers to include. the S-52 gives recommendations of which features to display based on map scale class, I'd say reuse those. But you would have to enter that data by hand. If someone provides a list of layernames per scale band, I might do the rest. -- response: me, requesting a tutorial to review the material. --- response: Hamish --- see SCAMAX and SCAMIN entries in the libS52 CVS file doc/att.txt, for each token these control which map scales (e.g. 1:25,000-1:100,000) the feature should be rendered. and read through the remarks in S52CS.c in the libS52 source // S52CS.c : Conditional Symbologie procedure 3.2 (CS) (ignore the code, just look at the comments...) and the IHO PDF spec docs, http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/S-57_data#GRASS_S-52_interface_for_rendering_S-57_data and you may see why I defer :). It's all there coded, but a bit daunting to me. My idea is a little wrapper C program around S52CS.c to export tokens based on a list of scales would help us make a table which we could use in developing the list of layers for the WMS request. -- since qgis is used extensively in preparing maps for gpsdrive and there is significant interest wrt marine navigation where most charts are S-57 vectors the long term goal (very long term) is to move toward a plugin for qgis to manipulate the data in order to make it available to gpsdrive. However its a bit of a challenge as you can see, I'm not a developer, rather just a listee with sailboat so I keep interested in this stuff. - I believe Qgis doesn't use the S57 sublayers and that's why nothing gets displayed. Is there any chance that I am right? If I am right, Your most likely correct. I would like to help with the implementation for this kind of problem. Can anyone in the dev team give me directions on where to begin (I have spent some time in the source and API of both Qgis and GDAL and feel I can contribute here...) Perhaps a good start would be reviewing the submitted material above and then following the directions and advice of the qgis development team.

First of all, a small change in OGR provider in QGIS will be needed to allow sublayers. This provider awaits a file as input string - let's add an optional parameter that would specify the layer inside the file, e.g.: /data/gis/s-57/ca49995b.000layer=4 (note the added layer=4) Then in GUI: when an input file for OGR provider is selected, check whether there's more than one sublayer - if so, open a dialog and let user select which sublayers he would like to see. Create input strings for OGR provider from the chosen sublayers and load them. Patches are always welcome :-) Martin ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] S57 map files
Thank you to both of you for your very valuable inputs. I've browsed the ogrprovider code and found how to implement your proposal. Although I still haven't modified anything, I've made a few tries that seem encouraging. Martin: I am hoping to reach an acceptable solution for opening S57 layers on demand soon. I will also have to set up svn to produce the actual patch appropriately. Chris: The S52 implementation will obviously be the next step. Thank you for all this information (I had no idea the S52 was actually already coded somewhere... That's good news!) See you soon.

Thanks for the compliment but passing on information as received from Hamish on the gpsdrive list. He's one of the developers driving the nautical component. I'm just testing stuff as it comes down the pipe but glad to beof help as such a pluggin would be very very practical. Pls allow me to encourage you.
