[Qgis-user] Explorer Arcgis online with linux?
Hi. It's maybe little of topics for QGIS, but I think here maybe are people here with linux. We have a student-task where we should use ESRIs explorer arcgis online. I don't have MS Windows and silverlight. The url are: http://www.arcgis.com/explorer/ I think I have downloaded and installed moonlight, but I only get an empty page :( Someone who know if it's possible to use linux (Ubuntu) on arcgis.com/explorer ? /Cheers ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] Vector/Raster Projection Problem
I'm not sure what I've done differently, but I managed tonight to get the projections to overlap. The counties vector layer appears to have been reprojected to WGS84, and the display projection is NAD 83 (EPSG: 2992). I tried to duplicate this in a second instantiation of QGIS, so far unsuccessfully. I'm going to have to experiment more. In the interim, When I try to clip the raster file in the successful superimposition to the extent of the counties layer using the raster clipper and get the error message: Computed -srcwin falls outside raster size of 28800x19200. Any idea what that is about?

I've done similiar with SRTM/GDEM etc. Have you projected the shapefile to wgs84 to review alignment? Can you please put together a small subset clip of raster data for area the shapefile you are using. Drop me a the link from Dropbox or other service I will take a look over.

Re: [Qgis-user] Python-gdal missing
Luis, I'm probably not a reliable source for this, but I would rename those files for which you the equivalent newer files are in /usr/lib.

Re: [Qgis-user] Python-gdal missing
Why do you have these files in /usr/local/lib? They are mote probably not installed by the package manager! Don't mix custom installs with apt packages, unless you know what you're doing. This can lead to problems if you have different libgdal versions installed.

Re: [Qgis-user] gps tool: greyed buttons
Yes, no problem for connecting to the gps. Actually, I'm a bit confused because while the track is displayed on the map, the corresponding layer is not listed in the TOC and cannot be saved. Also, I've seen that the log file section in the menu is not greyed before connecting to the gps , so the user can click and select an output nmea file, but has to do so before connecting to the gps. Once you click connected, the log button becomes greyed (perhaps it makes sense: the file as to be selected before starting to record data, but it would not hurt having a simple clarification (i.e.: (to be selected before connecting).

I finally understood what you meant by console so I made a file qgisEx.bat with the code cd /d c:\dist\xlrd-0.8.0 C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install and upon execution I got a screen full of stuff in the DOS box. I detected nothing that said error , etc. It looks like it worked. I found a c:\python27\Lib\site-packages\xlrd which has folders doc and examples and then a bunch of .pyc and .py files But upon trying out XYtools in QGIS 1.8 again to read in a Excel file, I got the same error message about needing xlrd Python modules. Looking at the XYtools folder in C:\Documents and Settings\healthmaps\.qgis\python\plugins\xytools\docs\index.html I found the following: (to use this functionality you should have the python-uno library installed. For Linux you can probably install it via your package manager. On Windows it is harder: you can install it via the normal installer as addition/module, but there seems to be an error with the python path. The plugin cannot find it. If somebody knows a solution for this, please let me know. ) Apparently Windows users have figured this out or none of them have used it, and for you a Mac user, it works. I see that in Windows QGIS puts the plugins in C:\Documents and Settings\Healthmaps\.qgis\python\plugins\ subfolders for each plugin. But some code somewhere does not have the right code to find the xlrd module. Thanks for you help. NOt sure what to do next Richard Anchorage, AK On Sat, 11 Aug 2012, Noli Sicad [via OSGeo.org] wrote: What is this? Open console (i.e. Terminal) in that directory (e.g. xlrd-0.8.0 directory). Be sure you are in this directory / folder OK. MSDOS box, a command_prompt. Have a look here. http://www.decompile.com/windows/2000/command_prompt.htm I have found the Python27 folder in Quantum GIS Lisboa. What is the console? I figure it is the interactive program that accepts Python commands, but I do not know where it is in Python27 folder. No. the python27 in QGIS Lisboa is not the your python installation. Try to look for another one. (I am using Mac OS X so I could not tell where is installed in Windows). A console or terminal is generic term for what people in MS World called software give you access to command prompt. You have python installation your system since you are able to use QGIS python plugins. Back to your problem. Open the MSDOS command prompt in the directory where you see the setup.py Then, Type python setup.py install in the console (MSDOS command prompt). Be sure that you typed without quotes ( ). It will install this in your python sites-packages. Search for the folder sites-packages, you will find your python installation.

Re: [Qgis-user] XYtools needs Excel python modules
I installed through OSGeo4W. I also uninstalled QGIS and repeated the installation. After trying to install XLRD myself, I managed to get it into the right place in the Python27 folder (with considerable help from Noli - very patient fellow) but no changes. I may have still misunderstood what he told me to do. XYTOOLS is installed in .qgis\python\plugins\xytools In .qgis\python\plugins\xytools\docs\index.html I found the following: (to use this functionality you should have the python-uno library installed. For Linux you can probably install it via your package manager. On Windows it is harder: you can install it via the normal installer as addition/module, but there seems to be an error with the python path. The plugin cannot find it. If somebody knows a solution for this, please let me know. ) Are there Windows users who have XYTOOLS installed and reading in Excel files?

I have found the site where they are but I do not understand any of the directions, etc. I am not a Python programmer resulting in my having no clue about one has to do. Can sopmeone point me to directions that will tell me exactly what one is supposed to do and where one does it to get the XYtools Excel pythins working. Same for Open Office. Seems the installation process for XYtools should do this. Is there something I missed in the installation? Thanks! If you are Windows, the packages python-xlrd and python-xlwt should be available in the OSGeo4W installer - you shouldn't need to manually install them yourself.
