[Qgis-user] spanish translation of QGIS 1.6 manual
Dear Spanish qgis users and manual translators, There is a complete spanish user manual for QGIS 1.6 from Francisco Yujra. He comes from Bolivia in the framework of a Swiss GIS project in Guatemala for the Registro de la Información Catastral RIC. I hope this is interesting for our spanish translation team: Mario Pisa, Carlos Dávila and Axel Moser. The manual is formatted as MS .docx file. I put it on the website as it is and maybe you could use it and migrate the translation into our typical latex manual style? I can send you the original manual, if you like and I will add the doc to the docs repository as well. You find the pdf here: http://www.qgis.org/en/documentation/manuals.html Regards, Otto ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

[Qgis-user] System closes down whenever I hit Start Georef
Hi all, Still trying to get some clarity for myself, but it would appear that every time I hit Start Georeferencing in the georef package something happpens. 1. I start QGIS, load a .qgs project file (scanned 1:5 map of Luxembourg) 2. I start Georef from the Plugins tab, 3. I load the .jpg map into georef (It brings in the map + the 9 points I defined + the table of GCPs) 4) I hit Start Georef everything vanishes from the screen, ABRT comes up to tell me: Package:qgis-1.6.0-3.fc14.1 Latest Crash: Wed 08 Jun 2011 03:07:11 PM Command:/usr/bin/qgis Reason: Process /usr/bin/qgis was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT) Comment:None Bug Reports: Whilst I recognise I might well be doing something wrong, should QGIS really bomb out like this?

For the mapbook printing, would the user provide a layer containing all the mapsheet boundaries and QGIS should loop over all of them? Would all mapsheet boundaries be of equal size or could there be different sizes? The former case seems easy to me, but the latter? How should the layout react if the mapsheets are of different sizes?

[Qgis-user] Mac OS X - Successful Production Use of QGIS
Hello, I would like to know of some Mac OS X users of QGIS (various versions) that are successful in using QGIS in a production or semi-production environment. Of those successful candidates I would really like to know the following; 1. OS X.version.subversion 2. QGIS version 3. Hardware: - model - cpu - graphics card 4. RAM 5. If building from source, what version of Qt is used (and other dependancies) 6. Primary Usage of QGIS 7. any quirks or bugs I would love to find out what makes for a successful environment of QGIS that is relatively bug free for production use on OS X. Thanks! ps.

[Qgis-user] Georeferencer 3.1.9 bug (?) and work-around
Dear QGIS users, Summary: I'm running the Georeferencer plugin 3.1.9 with QGIS 1.6.0 and it doesn't work correctly -- the raster is distorted and plotted in the wrong location. However, I found a work-around that fools the plugin into giving correct results, and appears to point out a serious bug in the plugin. (Or, I'm doing something wrong -- please let me know.) (And please tell me if I've posted this in the wrong place.) Suppose I have an image called input.tif that has some geospatial metadata with a CRS and image bounds. For the following discussion, here are the relevant lines that result from running gdalinfo input.tif: Size is 1101, 1091 ... Upper Left ( 4578.469, -13361.035) ( 5d26'57.36W, 2d10'18.28S) Lower Left ( 4578.469, -13652.219) ( 5d26'57.36W, 2d10'35.98S) Upper Right ( 4872.322, -13361.035) ( 5d26'39.49W, 2d10'18.28S) Lower Right ( 4872.322, -13652.219) ( 5d26'39.49W, 2d10'35.98S) Center ( 4725.395, -13506.627) ( 5d26'48.43W, 2d10'27.13S) Now suppose I open the Georeferencer and open this image, and define a transformation (say, polynomial 1) with three ground control points (GCPs). When I tell it to start georeferencing and to load the result into my QGIS project, the image is hugely distorted and located in the wrong place. I found a BIG CLUE about what's happening when I asked it to generate GDAL script. The result was: gdal_translate -of GTiff -gcp 4690.78 13510.5 4434.32 -13412.7 \ -gcp 4721.32 13469.4 4462.09 -13371.6 \ -gcp 4753.5 13539.4 4497.52 -13458.7 \ -gcp 4692 13536.2 4430.49 -13445.3 \ /path/input.tif /tmp/input.tif gdalwarp -r cubic -order 1 -co COMPRESS=NONE /tmp/input.tif \ /path/output.tif But if we look at the man pages for gdal_translate, the format for input of GCPs is: -gcp pixel line easting northing elevation The first argument to -gcp should be the x coordinate in *image* space, not in *coordinate* space. It should be the column number of the pixel in question (I don't know if it can be a floating point; hopefully it can). The second argument to -gcp has to be the *row* number of the pixel in the image being georeferenced. The easting and northing are indeed the x and y coordinates in the target coordinate system. But notice that in the gdal_translate command that the Georeferencer generated, the first two arguments are positions in coordinate space, not image space! So, here's the work-around. We saw above that the size of the image is 1101 x 1091. All we have to do is change the bounds of the input image so that the image's geographic coordinates match the image space coordinates. We can do that easily with gdal_translate, being careful to account for QGIS using a positive-up y-axis. Here's the command for the current case: gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_ullr 0 0 1100 -1090 input.tif input_fixed.tif Now, when we open the new input image (input_fixed.tif) into the Georeferencer and select GCPs, etc, it actually works!

[Qgis-user] QGIS 1.7.0 and Waypoint Symbols
I've been watching for 1.7.0 to get packaged for distribution and noticed that the source tarball package finally showed up on www.qgis.org. So I tried it and what I've seen is very nice. I was looking around to see if there is any way to get 1.7.0 to pay attention to the XML sym tags in gpx waypoint files. With the ability to add symbol svg files in paths I specify that is in 1.7.0 I can load symbols that correspond the the names specified in the sym tags. Is there a way to get QGIS to use those? Generally, each waypoint in such a gpx file uses different sym tags depending on the waypoint. It would be very nice to have QGIS render the right images for each of those waypoints that are in one gpx waypoint file given that I have made svg files for those symbols. Is this possible and if so how? I've looked around for this in the help and on line, but haven't found a way yet. Harry McGavran -- Harry G.
