[Qgis-user] Re: measure angle tool
don't know the answer but I have another question related to these one. Why is it when I use the aspect tool of GRASS (r.slope.aspect) the results are given from the East in a counterclockwise?! (i.e East is 0º, North is 90º and so on...) I only realized this because I always check the results, but I bet there are many people out there who assume that 360º/0º is North and are having inconsistent results regards, Andre 2010/8/24 Tom mtnbiketr...@zzz.com Why is it when I use the Measure angle tool(grouped with the info tool), if I draw a line from 0 and then run the cursor around it a clockwise circle, the measured value goes 0 to 180 and -179 to -1 to 0, I want to measure the obtuse angle like a compass, 0-360. nothing in the help files. I have no clue if this is a built in plugin or add-in. Also, I can't seem to get the Azimuth and distance plugin tool(0.8.5) to work. I want to draw a line that is true North. NO instructions on their website. And I'm using these to compare true north to magnetic north as georeferenced raster files. The raster files are drawn to magnetic north, with lines going to the 4 cardinal points as magnetic, but my base map projection is in True North(+proj=utm +zone=10 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs). I want to georeference using magnetic bearings. I know the declination and the base map(geotiff) is correct. thanks, Tom ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user -- --- Associação Leonel Trindade SOCIEDADE DE HISTÓRIA NATURAL Apartado 25 2564-909 Torres Vedras Portugal Sede e Biblioteca: rua Cavaleiros da Espora Dourada, 27A 2560 Torres Vedras Laboratório de Paleontologia e Paleoecologia: Polígono Industrial do Alto do Ameal 2565-641 Ramalhal http://alt-shn.blogspot.com www.alt-shn.org -- --- Associação Leonel Trindade SOCIEDADE DE HISTÓRIA NATURAL Apartado 25 2564-909 Torres Vedras Portugal Sede e Biblioteca: rua Cavaleiros da Espora Dourada, 27A 2560 Torres Vedras Laboratório de Paleontologia e Paleoecologia: Polígono Industrial do Alto do Ameal 2565-641 Ramalhal http://alt-shn.blogspot.com www.alt-shn.org ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
[Qgis-user] WMS through https and basic auth for QGIS
Hi, I am trying to connect to a remote wms server from QGIS using https with basic authentication. QGIS version is 1.5.0-4.3 for x86_64 on opensuse 11.3 (rpm from Application:Geo repo). I have not been successful using the Layer Add WMS Layer tool in QGIS. Ticket #2892 appears to refer to this issue. It looks like this will be fixed in QGIS 1.6.0. This is a show-stopper for me, in encouraging colleagues to use this software. I have come up with a workaround for a **secure** internal network, using mapserver wms client. It might be useful to others.

[Qgis-user] Shapefile structure viewer and editor plugin
Hello List, I've created a simple plugin that allows to view the structure of a shapefile (X-, Y-coords alongside its attributes) and while at it I've also added the capability to edit the geometry and attributes and save back to the shapefile. A corollary is that if you want to add a point by typing its coords you can do it with the plugin (as André aka ALT SHN has suggested). You can even create a new shapefile in QGIS and use the plugin to type in coords and attributes or paste them from the clipboard. Points, lines and polygons shapefiles can be manipulated. BUT, I feel it is a quite dangerous plugin to release in a public repo because of the potential damages bad edits can do on a shapefile! I would thus be very grateful if the most intrepid amongst you could test it and give comments on its usefulness... The plugin is available at the address below: http://www.bc-consult.com/free/bccshpv.html Cheers, Benoit ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] Shapefile structure viewer and editor plugin
Hi Benoit! This is a great plugin! I tested it on one point shapefile (8003 objects) and all went fine! Although I understand your concern about making it public, I think it's extremely usefull (at least for me it is) and it would be a shame not to put it on a public repository... Besides it even has a fair documentation, so I think newbies would be ok. Anyway, great tool! Thanks!
