Re: [Qgis-user] Image rendering in QGis

2012-08-23 Thread Andreas Neumann

Hi Helen,

QGIS up to version 1.8 cannot do resampling other than Nearest 
Neighbour, which results in terrible display quality, esp. if you zoom 
out. Zooming in should improve the image until you reach the native 
resolution.


From version 1.9 (or 2.0) - to be probably released in early 2013, 
there are other image resampling methods like average, bilinear and 
cublic - which improves the image display quality considerably. You 
can set the resampling method separately for zooming above and beyond 
the native resolution.


Unfortunately you will have to wait for approx. half a year until this 
version is released.


There are two possible options for you:

* Use QGIS 1.9 (nightly build) by installing it through the OSGeo4W 
installer

or
* Use a WMS (such as UMN Mapserver) to render the image and embed it 
through WMS


Hope this helps,
Andreas

Hello everyone,

I was given an image and a set of coordinates that should be 
displayed

on the image. I have georeferenced the image OK, but when I load it
into QGis, whether it is georeferenced or not, it is pixelated and
looks terrible. Is there a setting I can change to smooth it out a
bit? I asked my client for her original image, so hopefully I have 
not

been sent a resampled copy. Maybe I was.

Is there any way I can smooth it?

Re: [Qgis-user] KML Error when opening in QGIS

2012-08-23 Thread Andre Joost

Am 23.08.12 09:17, schrieb WRoberts:

Hi All,

I have been opening and working with kml data in qgis for sometime and have
had very few issues. Unfortunately I seem to have run into a problem with a
file sent to from a colleague in the field. The kml in questions opens in GE
no problem and even has a time feature whereby the start and end time is
shown and the user can move the slider to see how and where the device was.
Nice feature but I think it is introducing an error when attempting to open
in QGIS. The kml is a track of a road and was collected using an android app
called GPS essentials. The qgis error states *.kml is not a valid or
recognized data source.

ogrinfo returns
:~$ ogr2ogr -f 'ESRI Shapefile' output.shp Track-082212_83453.kml
ERROR 4: No layers in KML file: Track-082212_83453.kml.
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `Track-082212_83453.kml' with the following
drivers.

When I open the kml in gedit I get an xml type structure.



What kind of data is stored in the kml?
We recently had an issue that it may not contain points *and* lines 
together. Ogr2ogr expects either points, lines, or polygons, but not all 
together. Maybe your time data is notr recognized by teh ogr driver as well.


Perhaps you can convert it to GPX format with gpsbabel. The gpx importer 
in Qgis allows data with timestamp.


HTH,
André Joost

look for another copy of the same library in your system, especially in
folders like system32. If you find anyone then rename it and you should
be fine (obviously the evil program that installed the dll in that

[Qgis-user] Slow rendering of vrt

2012-08-23 Thread Micha Silver

  
  
Hello all:
  
  I have a batch of over 100 raster tiles in ecw format. Each is 50
  - 100 MB in size. When I choose 20 or so files to load they appear
  (render) very quickly - in a matter of a few seconds or less. If I
  create a vrt of that same batch of tiles, it takes a long time to
  first render - upwards of 15 - 30 seconds.  Once the vrt is loaded
  response is excellent (zooming, etc). But that initial delay is a
  bit annoying. Anything I can do to improve it? (QGIS 1.8, Win 7 64
  bit)
  
  Many thanks,

[Qgis-user] DB Manager errors loadin shapefile to PostGIS

2012-08-23 Thread G. Allegri
I'm obtaining the following errors when I try to load (dragdrop) a
shapefile do PostGIS.

I'm running PostGIS 1.5 on Postgresql 9.1.

QGis 1.9 on Windows 7 64bit.


The first error (ERROR1) I've supposed was an encoding issue and float
overflow due to the coordinate fields in the DBF.

The DB encoding is UTF-8.

The error happens whichever encoding I choose.




ERROR1



Error 7

Feature write errors:

Creation error for features from #0 to #0. Provider errors was:

PostGIS error while adding features: ERROR: numeric field overflow

DETAIL: A field with precision 19, scale 11 must round to an absolute value
less than 10^8.

Only 0 of 20 features written





I've opened the DBF with LibOffice to change encoding and format cells to
lesser decimals.

Now I get ERROR2. Considera that I don't have any reg2011 table on the DB
when this happens.




ERROR2



Error 7

Feature write errors:

Creation error for features from #0 to #0. Provider errors was:

[Qgis-user] Settings for Attribute table in print composer not saved correctly?

2012-08-23 Thread magerlin
I have inserted an attribute table in the print composer and set Maximum
rows to 14 to display all 14 features in my shape file. And it works fine.

But next time I open the project Maximum rows is displaying 13 and I am
missing one of my features in the table?

The problem seems to be related to setting maximum rows equal the number of
features: If I set it to 10, saves and reopens it still says 10.

Perhaps some coding restricting no of rows to be less or equal to number of
features is wrong?

good question.

Unless I am mistaken, min/max are set to 0/255 by default, unless
QgsRasterDataProvider::bandStatistics() or
QgsRasterLayer::bandStatistics()  is called - which is probably what
happens.

I don't understand what is the problem, does the VRT load slowly
initially, or is getting statistics rather slow?

On the other hand, wouldn't a simple gdalinfo -stats file.vrt
achieve the same as the linked python script, but easier to run?

Re: [Qgis-user] After Qgis installation - GRASS6.4 doesn't start anymore

2012-08-23 Thread Etienne Tourigny
You should probably not be installing grass in /usr, this cause
conflicts with packages installed though the package manager.

Why are you building grass anyway? The packaged version should run fine.

I recommend you use the ubuntugis-unstable ppa to install qgis,
grass and qgis-grass.

BTW the correct way to uninstall is sudo apt-get remove qgis -
autoremove deletes unnecessary packages

 deb http://qgis.org/debian precise main
 deb-src http://qgis.org/debian precise main

 the installation itself was done with:
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install qgis

 After uninstalling qgis with sudo apt-get autoremove qgis grass64
 can be started again without
 any problems.

 Maybe this is a known issue, but are there any solutions?

 good question.

 Unless I am mistaken, min/max are set to 0/255 by default, unless
 QgsRasterDataProvider::bandStatistics() or
 QgsRasterLayer::bandStatistics()  is called - which is probably what
 happens.

Default contrast enhancement in current master (may be changed in
Options  Rendering  Rasters):
  Single band gray: Stretch to min / max
  Multiband color (byte/band): No stretch
  Multiband color (byte/band): Stretch to min / max
  Limits (min/max): Cumulative count cut.

The min/max are calculated using 25 pixels sample, which should be
fast. It would be useful to test the VRT without stats collected with
current master.

It would be possible to add another default contrast enhancement for
Single band gray byte, but I believe that if the whole raster can be
rendered in reasonable time, the min/max calculation must be also fast
and contrast enhancement may be important even with byte data.

Radim

 I don't understand what is the problem, does the VRT load slowly
 initially, or is getting statistics rather slow?

 On the other hand, wouldn't a simple gdalinfo -stats file.vrt
 achieve the same as the linked python script, but easier to run?

the python script calculates approximated stats, so

The problem was the -approx_stats option is not present

then I wrote that few-lines script to achieve the task.

 it seems that the QGIS installation somehow overwrites some

Please check how many files remained in /usr/lib/grass64/.
Perhaps QGIS removed it to install again GRASS (which failed)?

What if you reinstall again GRASS6.4 with your

use a QStackedWidget with appropriate controls/logic to swap widgets,

[Qgis-user] Howto: load ArcGIS mapserver raster layers

2012-08-23 Thread Alister Hood
Hi everyone,
I don't think anyone around here has ever explained how to add raster ArcGIS 
mapserver layers from servers which provide a REST interface.  As far as I 
know, there is no way to just load them with a url directly from the QGIS gui, 
but they can be handled by the GDAL WMS driver, and thus can be loaded in QGIS.
 
Firstly (and the most difficult part) you need to find the URL for the REST 
service for your layer.  E.g. you might want to use a layer that is available 
in the ESRI Maps for Personal Use web map at:
http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?useExisting=1
Hopefully with a little googling you will be able to find the address where you 
can browse the ArcGIS services directory of your favourite ArcGIS server.  In 
this case it is: http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/

Find the layer that you are after, and now you have two options:

1. You can create a GDAL service description XML file, and open it with QGIS.
E.g. try this file:
http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms_arcgis_mapserver_tms.xml
Or e.g. save the XML code pasted at http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3804 
and try it.

2. You can create a .vrt file (which requires less thinking), and open that 
with QGIS.
E.g. find the raster layer you want in the ArcGIS services directory, and get 
the URL for its REST interface, which should be at the bottom of the page, 
under Supported Interfaces.  The gdal utilities can just use this URL (since 
GDAL 1.9), so you can simply create a .vrt like this:
gdalbuildvrt test.vrt 
http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer?f=jsonpretty=true;

Of course, you will need to check the restrictions on what you are legally 
allowed to do with any particular layer.  

And if you are wondering: as far as I know there is currently no way to load 
_vector_ ArcGIS mapserver layers, or ArcGIS globeserver or featureserver 
layers (except for manually writing a query URL.  i.e. you can't use their REST 
services).

Alister

Re: [Qgis-user] Howto: load ArcGIS mapserver raster layers

2012-08-23 Thread pcreso
Hi Alistair,

Listed at http://www.niwa.co.nz/ei/feeds/report there are a few Arc Server 
raster layers, they are ESRI Mapserver restful layers, but deliver OGC WMS.

Such layers are as available as any other WMS data source, eg: 
http://boi.arc.niwa.co.nz/arcgis/services/climate/MedianAnnualTotalRainfall/MapServer/WMSServer

I figure what you are describing is a way to access the ESRI native (as opposed 
to OGC compliant) services in QGIS using GDAL?


Cheers,

Re: [Qgis-user] Howto: load ArcGIS mapserver raster layers

2012-08-23 Thread Alister Hood
Yes,
If the server provides WMS you wouldn't need to know about it.
In this case, go to
http://boi.arc.niwa.co.nz/arcgis/rest/services/OS2020-BoI/OS2020_BoI_AerialPhoto_Color/MapServer
And you'll see at the bottom of the page that the supported interfaces are 
REST, SOAP and WMS.  (WMS might be restfull, but it is obviously different from 
what ESRI call a REST interface)
Look on the ESRI server I linked to and you'll see that only REST and SOAP are 
supported.
A local example that only supports REST and SOAP is the Auckland Council GIS.

Note that you could also connect to a WMS by using a GDAL service definition 
xml in the same way as I described, if you wanted to for some reason.  Perhaps 
the reason would be simplicity - you could keep the xml files in a folder with 
all your other layers, and load them in all the same ways, rather than using 
the Add WMS layer dialog.
I don't know how the QGIS WMS provider works - it might be interesting to 
compare the performance of one of those NIWA layers connecting to it in the 
three different ways:
- QGIS WMS provider
- WMS via a service definition xml
- ArcGIS REST via a service definition xml

It depends on your operating system and local language, which font is
actually used:



MS Shell Dlg maps to Microsoft Sans Serif if the machine default UI
