[Qgis-user] RE: GPS route

2012-03-12 Thread Michael Spencer

Thanks again - just spotted the Points2One plugin which will join points based 
on field - allowing me to create a line to use as a route.

 Thanks all for your speedy weekend replies! The points to paths plugin is the 
 easy answer I'm looking for. It's pretty straight forward to convert a line 
 defined by two points to a series of points in GRASS, but converting them 
 back to a multinode line was the stumbling block. Drawing them manually 
 didn't appeal.
 
 Does the points to paths line appear in v1.7.4? I can't currently see it, 
 although Martin Dobias' sandbox is not loading this evening...

 Those answers actually depend more on your budget than anything else.
 
 Best operating system - Linux,
 because 64bit builds are packaged and compiling is easy (Mac compiling
 is not so easy for add ons, and Windows compiling at this point in time
 seems to require Visual Studio). Note even if you do buy Windows, make
 sure you get 64 bit, you will need to compile QGIS yourself to get a 64
 bit version at this time.
 A large number of QGIS developers/power users are on linux too.
 
 Your bottleneck is actually most likely going to be disk speed for
 read/write.
 
 A minimum spec GIS workstation(Assuming we mean desktop not server or
 laptop) for reasonable performance:
 Intel i7
 4 GB ram (min, 8-16 better)
 an SSD for the OS (Intel's have the best reliability)
 an SATA III, big drive for storage (WD, Seagate, Hitach or Samsung)
 an PCI express graphics card of 256MB+
 
 There's no way to know what would be overkill without knowing what kind
 of datasets you'll be working on and how big they are. The bigger the
 datasets the more RAM you'll want.
 
 Enjoy,
 Alex

[Qgis-user] Rasterlite db with many raster tables

2012-03-12 Thread Jukka Rahkonen
Hi,

Is QGis supposed to find rasters from rasterlite database which contains several
raster tables? I have managed to open all my test maps if I convert them to
separate rasterlite files, but if I add more tables to the same DB QGis throws
an error Couldn't get GDAL band or something like that.

Could it be that QGis does not check the multi-raster table DB as described in
http://gdal.org/frmt_rasterlite.html, that is, by doing something similar to 

gdalinfo RASTERLITE:multirasterdb.sqlite,table=raster1

I tried with GQis 1.9.0 from OS4Geo installation on Windows Vista (32-bit).

 By enabling on the fly and  I am able to see these points are located in the

 I need to count how many points are there in each polygon. The plugin for
 this say different CRS.

 When I set the User defined CRS for point shape file , the polygon and
 points are not overlayed .

 What I suppsed to do

You must reproject one of the layers, not on the fly but on the
disk. Right click on a layer in the legend, choose save as and
select the destination CRS to match the other layer, then load the new
layer in QGIS.

Re: [Qgis-user] Case sensitive

2012-03-12 Thread Andreas Neumann
The one major restriction with QGIS on Windows is that you cannot use
more than 2-3 GB RAM (depending on your configuration).

If you have big datasets and 4 or more GB of RAM you would want a 64bit
QGIS - which is currently only available on Linux or MacOSX.

Other than that, the Windows version is fine. On the other hand - these
days installing Linux is often easier than installing Windows - but
people wouldn't notice, since Windows comes usually pre-installed and
they don't have to install Windows.

People who are interested in a 64bit Windows version should think about
hiring a developer or maintainer to work on it.

 ?J.R.

1. It is common for QGIS plugins to have dependencies which are not readily 
available for Windows (you may need to put in the effort to build them 
yourself).
2. Plugins sometimes have Windows related problems.  I guess some of the 
developers don't do much testing for Windows.
3. As was mentioned, there is no readily available 64bit version of QGIS for 
Windows (you would need to build it and its dependencies yourself).
4. There seems to be a reasonable history of issues with QGIS that only appear 
on Windows, particularly problems with printing.  Again, I think this is due to 
the developers not using windows.  Some of them are also issues with 
dependencies of QGIS, e.g. QT.
5. FWIW I get a reasonable number of crashes when I try to run QGIS on 64 bit 
Windows 7, and none on 32bit Windows XP.  I do always run a self-compiled (on 
XP) master version of QGIS, not an official build, but I don't really see why 
that would affect running on 64bit Windows 7.  As you have seen though, some 
people report no trouble on Windows 7.
6. This is 2012.  You don't need programming ability to use Linux.  You are 
_much_ more likely to need it on Windows, to work around the issues above.  
Just make sure you don't purchase some esoteric hardware that doesn't work with 
Linux.

 FROM YOUR REPLY I BELIEVE I'LL START WITH WINDOWS 7-8 AS MY O.S.

I guess you downloaded one of the first 2 *.iso from this site.

http://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html

You have burn the iso into the DVD. Be sure to burn it, not copy the
iso to the DVD.

There a lot of free DVD software that can burn iso file to DVD. Google
and download one, if you don't have any DVD software.

When you successful to burn the iso file into DVD, you can see a lot
of folder in it, not just one file.

Put the DVD in the DVD-ROM (CD-ROM) and reboot the computer.

Read Quick start in this page, if you have to install it in your drive.

2012-03-12 Thread Lee Hachadoorian
John,

If you want to use an external hard drive—and, in my experience, booting
from USB is *much* faster than booting from DVD—check out, UNetbootin,
LiveUSB Install, or any number of other USB creators, some of which will
let you set up a multiboot USB so that you can choose between OSes when you
boot.

Another option, and my preferred one for trying out new OSes (including the
OSGeo DVD) is to use virtualization. I prefer VirtualBox, other options
include VMWare and Xen. I run Ubuntu Linux, but also have the OSGeo DVD
installed because sometimes you have to jump through hoops to install a
software that's not in the repositories and I just want to try it out
before committing the effort. (Not referring to QGIS, which runs fine.)

[Qgis-user] qgis server

2012-03-12 Thread Dario
I followed the steps of installing qgis server but I can not run, I could not 
run the GetCapabilities and also could not display the map.

I installed and tried msw4 also through the mapserver export plugin, but could 
not.

Can anyone give a help?___

Those coordinates look correct for a State Plane coordinate system
commonly used by counties in the US. If there is no prj file with data,
you can guess the projection by looking up a State Plane reference.

The coordinates should appear as you expect in Lat/Lon if you turn on
projection on the fly and pick Lat/Lon WGS EPSG 4236.

Enjoy,
Alex

[Qgis-user] Re: Rasterlite db with many raster tables

 Hi,
 
  The result is here
  
  http://latuviitta.org/documents/multitable.sqlite (12 MB)
  
  Error I get from QGis:
  Cannot get GDAL raster band:
 
 it works fine also for me, qgis master under Ubuntu 11.10

It seems to a problem with OSGeo4W. QGis 1.6.0 shows a dialogue for table
selection and shows also images once the sqlite3.dll is updated. QGis 1.9.0.
from OSGeo4W installer fails immediately after selecting the rasterlite DB. Does
anybody have an idea about what to update this time? Sqlite3.dll is already up
to date.

Re: [Qgis-user] Andreas, windows 64 bit

2012-03-12 Thread Andreas Neumann
Hi John,

No - this should not be a problem. I successfully run QGIS 32bit on
64bit Windows 7. But you cannot use more than the 2-3 GB RAM that are
possible in 32bit Windows application.

The fact that QGIS does not run on your 64bit Windows 7 is a different
problem.

I am afraid I probably can't help much than advising to remove QGIS and
reinstall. You may also try to use the OSGeo4W installer which allows
you to install different QGIS versions in parallel. I usually use QGIS
trunk (developer version, 1.9.x) from OSGeo4W and QGIS 1.7x (stable
version).

Hope this helps,
Andreas

 Andreas, hello, and thanks for the info. That may explain why my QGIS Wroclaw 
 version quit working after I upgraded to win 7 64 bit on my Acer laptop.I've 
 been going around in circles 
 trying to find and reinstall  the missing dll files that the error message 
 keeps telling me about.
 Thanks again,
