Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS 64-bit, Processing Toolbox and Grass 7

 There's a crowdfunding campaign[1] underway to get QGIS updated for GRASS 7.

 So yes, like Jose pointed out, some of the grass7 tools in processing will 
 have errors.

 You can compile QGIS without any of the cmake options for GRASS, because I 
 think those are only if you want to have the GRASS plugin (that toolbar).

 If you want GRASS 7 in Processing, you can update the providers in the 
 processing options and also double check that the needed env vars[2][3] for 
 GRASS exist.

 Upgrading the toolbar for GRASS7 support is also part of the crowd funding 
 too.

Yes, the plugin upgrade is underway but there is yet no GRASS 7 64bit
in OSGEO4W. The GRASS 7 plugin in OSGEO4W wont be available until the
GRASS 7 64bit itself appears there.

 Adrian,

 My solution was to install grass64 and edit qgis pkbuild for this grass 
 version (look commnents in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qgis/).

 The grass does not work environment. Processing seems to work but in tests 
 I've done gives me errors.

 I'm finding I need to use the 64-bit version of QGIS for some of my
 bigger models but I miss the ability to use Grass 7 without having to
 drop out to load it natively.

 I recognise that there are issues for the developers in embedding
 Grass 7 within the OSGEO4Win 64-bit package, but is anyone aware of a
 mechanism to configure the 64-bit version of QGIS (2.8/9) to load
 Grass 7 modules from a standalone installation via the Processing
 Toolbox?

 I have both installed on my system but haven't been able to find a
 set-up where Processing will recognise the Grass 7 installation.

Re: [Qgis-user] WMS Service Question

2015-05-04 Thread David Fawcett
You can also hand-craft a GetMap request.  The trick is have valid values
for all of the required params.  Here is an example from a WMS in MN.

http://geoint.lmic.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/wms?layers=met10format=image%2Fjpegtransparent=TRUEservice=wmsversion=1.1.1request=GetMapstyles=srs=EPSG%3A26915bbox=481178,4977186,493918,4987865width=256height=256

Note that the bbox needs to be expressed in coord values/units of the
specified SRS.

This brings me back to the original question: what makes a flat table valid for

Betreff: Re: [Qgis-user] Add mssql non-geometric tables

Hey Peter,
Yes, the problem is a little clearer now, thanks. When adding what we refer to 
here as a flat table (i.e., no geometry), it always just adds as a table 
object, so I've never seen that error before. The exact error message would be 
helpful. Also, what version of SQL Server are you running?

Hi James
Thanks for getting back to me.
I'using Wien too.
The database connection is established. I can add existing geometry layers from 
the DB to the qgis project. I can also add new layers to the DB (e.g. A shape). 
So no fundamental problem with the DB.

My problem is the following.
I have defined a table in the DB without geometries, just numeric data. I can 
see it in the qgis browser but when i try to add it to my project i get an 
error saying that it is missing a crs. So i guess there is some meta info 
missing somewhere, but i wonder where and whether it has something to do with 
the metadata table 'geometry_colums' required for spatial layers. I need to 
look up the exact error message when I'm back in the office.

Hope this is a little clearer now :-)

Hey Peter. Did you get a response to your question? I may not be understanding 
exactly what you are trying to do, but if you go ahead and add your MSSQL 
instance and connect to the database, you will be presented with both spatial 
and non -spatial tables that you can add into the map.

So, (not to patronize), if you go to Layer  Add Layer  Add MSSQL Spatial 
Layer, that will present a dialog where you can choose your instance from the 
drop down or create a new connection. The list of all available table objects 
will appear once you hit connect. I'm using 2.8 Wien.

Re: [Qgis-user] [QGIS-UX] QGIS fonts in print composer

2015-05-04 Thread Donovan Cameron

Sarah,

I haven't had any issues with the Clan Pro font you provided. I tried 
displaying labels for a point file at various sizes in pt and but didn't 
play with the style (ie, medium, wide, narrow, etc...). They looked fine 
in Print Composer too.


Can you maybe explain more on what you mean by some of the fonts work?

I'm running QGIS 2.8.1, is it possible for you and your team to upgrade 
to the latest version of QGIS for testing?
