Re: [Qgis-user] Repairing Topology Errors

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi,

when looking at topology errors I can imagine three types
1) borders are not identical, i.e. you missed one vertex during digitizing
2) overlaps
3) gaps

ad 1) in my experience it is easy to miss a vertex when digitizing along 
an existing edge, the auto-trace plugin may help in this respect and 
also "avoid intersections" (although you seem to have had problems with 
it). Snapping must be activated, of course. You cannot snap without it 
because you never hit the exact same point twice.
So for your edit layer you should snap to vertex with a reasonable 
snapping distance and "avoid intersections". Thus you should be set to 
not miss any vertices.

fix: only manually AFAIK
2) have "avoid intersections" active
fix: I use GRASS with its topological data model to identify all 
averlaps and use Processing's "eliminate sliver polygons" to get rid of them

3) no way to avoid them because IMHO they could be intended
fix: same as 2)

Hello Group,

I have been manually creating a few simple polygons, always intending to
have no gaps, slivers or overlaps.  To do this I use snapping and
occasionally the Autotrace feature.

However, when I run the topology checker, it often flags a variety of
errors although I am careful to create polygons by only snapping to
existing vertices of adjacent polygons.  It does a great job of finding
the errors, but I can find no instructions on methodology for repairing
them.

Any suggesting on repairing topology errors easily?

Thank you, Cheers . . . . . . . . Spring Harrison

Previous given advices are for not too-beginner users, but I think my

That time my error was my Snapping options: I had selected two or
three layers and it was selected the "avoid intersections" option,
then, when I added new digitized polygons, they were splitted or
deleted (as you tell) because new polygons were intersecting marked
layers in snapping options. It fixed when new digitizing shape was the
one marked (of course to avoid intersections between her elements) .

Yes it was something simple, my foul. Is it not same trouble?. If so,
Check it in "Configuration --> Snapping options --> Change the
Self-assembling mode to "advanced" and be sure that "avoid
intersections" is marked in your target layer only.

Hello Group,

        Am using QGIS 2.10.1 and have done so without
significant problems for many months. I am attempting to create
simple polygons in a shapefile by direct vertex entry or copying
polygons from another shapefile layer and pasting them into the
active layer.

        In almost every case, these features disappear.Â
There is an entity entry in the attribute table but there are no
polygons created. In one case a polygon was created but it was
not the shape that I digitized; no more polygons could be created
although the process for doing so appears to be working. No error
messages were created. The CRS for the project and the shapefile
are the same.

        The shapefile can be opened in another GIS but has
no content.
       Â
        Here are some product details: QGIS versionÂ
2.10.1-Pisa QGIS code revision d20c5b7
<https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/d20c5b7>

        Thanks very much for any help you can render,

Re: [Qgis-user] ARCGIS Geodatabase import raster

[Mats Elfström]

Hi Grant!
You need to know your data. That is prio one.
As the open API:s for file geodatabases do not support raster storage, you
will need to get back to your supplier and request a data format you can
handle.
I nevers store rasters in gdb since it is a dead end.
There are many other raster formats, well suited for GIS data to choose
from.
GeoTIFF and ecw are my favourites since they contain (or can contain)
georeferencing information.

If there was a simple template to fill in, which calculated the relative

Stefan, thanks for clarifying that NINA is a private organization. And
yes, crowd funding is also a good way to support new features, esp. for

One idea with the goal of minimizing bureaucracy when trying to fund

at my previous employer and could then flexibly use this hourly pool to

Re: [Qgis-user] heatmap plugin and layers controlled by a filter[Please Ignore]

[Neumann, Andreas]

 

Hi Dave, 

Glad to hear that the plugin works as expected. 

Note that starting from QGIS 2.8 there is a live "heatmap renderer" in
QGIS which you can use instead of the plugin. This should also work fine
with filtered data.

[Qgis-user] heatmap plugin and layers controlled by a filter

[dave42]

Hi list 

A silly question about the heatmap plugin

I have defined a layer and applied a filter to the layer so only some parts
are displayed.

When I attempt to use the heatmap plugin, it seems to ignore the filter and
use the entire layer as input to the heatmap.  If there any way that I can
apply a filter to the data that heatmap plugin is going to use to create a
result.

regards
dave

Rasters inside File Geodatabase are not currently supported by either
the OpenFileGDB or the ESRI FileGDB drivers of GDAL. Unfortunately you
will need to find someone with a copy of Arc to convert those out to
formats that can be used.

Re: [Qgis-user] Open attribute table in form view by default

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi again,

Indeed, for us enterprise users a nice collection/overview of reasons for 
working with and paying for FOSS (including a howto) could be really helpful 
when discussing with decision makers.

I remember Paolo had a post in that direction: 
https://faunaliagis.wordpress.com/2013/09/15/6-reasons-to-pay-for-open-source-software/

A critical point might also be that it can be simply more easy, to use money on 
proprietary software. You have probably only one local dealer, you get a price 
and you know more or less what you get for your money. Once you made your 
decision on a software, sat aside your annual license fees and accepted that 
this has to be payed, things go more or less automatically... With the legal 
entity, QGIS is maybe on a good way there. I could also imagine, that the 
grouping the many feature requests into (crowd) fundable packages might be 
helpful. In some cases the gentle push from a starting crowd funding activity 
(or when it is about to end) can be enough to make people to use some money...

Cheers
Stefan

In the list of things you do while digitizing, I miss the option to tick  
"Avoid intersections"-checkbox in the snapping option for your polygons  
layer. Actually, I never snap to existing vertices (maybe only the first  
and the last of adjacent polygons), but simply click into the adjacent  
polygons and then out again. Ticking "Avoid intersections" will  
automatically create the common border of the new polygon with the new  
one. So there is generally no need for any autotrace or carefully  
digitizing on existing vertices


Maybe you just forgot to mention this, but having many errors looks to me  
that this option might be missing in your workflow.





   Any suggesting on repairing topology errors easily?


Cleaning up topology errors is best done with GRASS v.clean through the  
processing toolbox.
I normally use the bpol option, but more important is to use the advanced  
options there and setting the thresholds for snapping and the minimum area  
for resulting polygons. You might have to experiment with those settings  
and check the results.
If you still have slivers cause the snapping can't connect enough existing  
vertices, try "Densify geometries given an interval" to add more vertices  
before the cleaning. You can remove those extra vertices later again with  
"Simplify geometries" from the tool box.

That's my usual workflow, maybe other have better tools.
I never bother to use the topology checker, am simply too lazy for that  
and doing this stuff manually.





Thank you, Cheers . . . . . . . . Spring Harrison


Good luck
Bernd

Re: [Qgis-user] Grass 7 plugin osx?

[William Kyngesburye]

Yeah, I build my QGIS with GRASS 6, I haven't switched to G7 yet.  I'm not sure 
of my exact reasoning, I think partly because of possibly not quite complete 
support for G7 (either directly in QGIS or with Processing), or G7 was still 
not final at the time.  I also recall there were issues building both G6 and G7 
into QGIS at the same time.

I can look into it for the next release.  But I won't be updating current 
packages for G7.

Re: [Qgis-user] Open attribute table in form view by default

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi Nyall, Richard, and Andreas,

For me it is all fine if you give the hint on funding, just like Andreas did, 
knowing whom he is talking to. And I think he has a lot of valid points in his 
answer.

Unfortunately, it is not always that simple, even for people using QGIS in 
bigger organizations, to mobilize money for things they like to see implemented 
(believe me, I wish it was)...

On your list, Nyall, I would add Crowd funding as a fifth (and quite popular) 
way of getting things into QGIS. And of course all fife can be mixed to some 
extent...

Anyway, keep up with your good work regardless if paid or voluntary. As I see 
it, the mix is what makes the project successful...

Cheers
Stefan

Well, the reality is that there's a very limited number of ways in which new 
features get implemented in QGIS:

1. Write it yourself. (Requires knowledge of QGIS source and c++)

2. Pay someone else to write it for you (requires money)

3. Wait for someone else to write/pay for it (requires patience and hope that 
your request is something someone else really needs)

4. Try to convince someone to donate their work/free time to do it for you 
(requires super levels of negotiating and finding the magic words to say to 
developers on irc/email/etc, or a project which is sufficiently interesting to 
attract a developer's attention regardless.)

I don't think there's any other ways code gets added to QGIS.

(Note that I'm *not* discounting all the non development volunteer/paid QGIS 
work, I'm just referring to how features can get added.)

Given this, I think it's fine to direct people who request stuff to the most 
direct and reliable way to make changes happen - option 2 above. Just saying 
"file a feature request" alone isn't all that helpful (it's effectively options 
3 or 4 above). It's also very helpful to also let them know how they can make 
these changes happen quickly.

Good point. I keep meaning to write this up properly at some stage as
a blog post, so keep the suggestions coming. I think it'd be useful to
have all this stuff outlined and explained so that people can make
informed decisions about the best way to get their requests fulfilled.

Re: [Qgis-user] adding points within polygons

[Brent Wood]

Which version of QGIS are you using? This is in the dev version which I'm using 
(on Linux), but not in QGIS 2.8 (just looked at that on another laptop - 
Geometry tools is there - but not the centroid one). I don't know if it is in 
2.12 or not.

You can also install the "realcentroids" plugin. This seems to create a replica 
of the polygon table, but creates a point feature to replace the polygon, which 
should also do what you want.
I just tried it & it worked in a simple test case. Perhaps your easiest option.

There is also a processing -> qgis geoalgorithms -> polygon centroid function, 
but this can return a point which does not lie within the polygon if the 
polygon is concave.
A bit more cumbersome - but you can also:
 edit the polygon layer, 
open the attribute table
start the field calculatorcreate a new (real no with decimals) column as the X 
value ie: X($geometry)
create a new column as the Y value ie: Y($geometry)save as CSV file
open the CSV file & define it as a point layer using the new X & Y columns for 
coords

You now have a point layer of centroids (but note that centroids can lie 
outside a concave polygon):-)

Cheers
Brent

 So kind of you to respond. I am afraid "geometry tools" is not an option on my

 I quite agree with you about the centrality of a proper relational database

 Hi
 People's answers to Grant's question were so clear I'm hoping that 
 something similar might exist to facilitate my task. I have 32k of 
 polygons representing every lot in the city of Montreal in 1903. I also 
 have the 1901 census returns coded by household (95k of them) to those 
 lots. Is there a simple way to have Qgis place points within each lot 
 polygon for the corresponding households?
 Thanks in advance.

[Qgis-user] Repairing Topology Errors

[Springfield Harrison]

Hello Group,
I have
been manually creating a few simple polygons, always intending to have no
gaps, slivers or overlaps.  To do this I use snapping and
occasionally the Autotrace feature.
However,
when I run the topology checker, it often flags a variety of errors
although I am careful to create polygons by only snapping to existing
vertices of adjacent polygons.  It does a great job of finding the
errors, but I can find no instructions on methodology for repairing
them.
Any
suggesting on repairing topology errors easily?

Thank you, Cheers

Re: [Qgis-user] adding points within polygons

[Alex M]

It comes with QGIS, as long as you installed python support (default on
most things, except some Linux platforms). To activate it enable the
ftools plugin in the plugin manager. FYI there should also be options in
the Processing Toolbox.

I will also take this moment to note, that Centroid will not ensure your
point is always inside the polygon (Think quarter moon shapes, or multi
polygons). There is a function in Spatialite, Postgis, etc, called Point
on Surface that ensures you get a centroid like point that is guaranteed
to be inside the polygon.

Enjoy,
Alex

Re: [Qgis-user] adding points within polygons

[rsweeny]

Brent
So kind of you to respond. I am afraid "geometry tools" is not an option 
on my Vector pull down menu or toolbar. Do I need a plug-in?
I quite agree with you about the centrality of a proper relational 
database underpinning the gis. It is getting from one to the other that 
is giving me the headaches.

But I recommend the use of an underlying database tool to manage your 
data, such as Postgis or Spatiallite, and join the data there to be 
used in QGIS. A collection of files does not provide the power of a 
database for managing data, even when accessed by QGIS.


Well managed data is the foundation your analysis, model or GIS sits on...

Hi
People's answers to Grant's question were so clear I'm hoping that
something similar might exist to facilitate my task. I have 32k of
polygons representing every lot in the city of Montreal in 1903. I also
have the 1901 census returns coded by household (95k of them) to those
lots. Is there a simple way to have Qgis place points within each lot
polygon for the corresponding households?
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Qgis-user] [QGis 2.10]Error while saving shape file

[Lester Anderson]

I have not come across this error (so far) when working with
shapefiles, and we often exchange shapefiles generated in QGIS with
ArcGis people. Is it a problem with data with lots of attributes? Will
need to test with 2.10 and 2.12.

[Qgis-user] Possibility to disable Vertex Editor Panel?

[JoshS]

Hello,

in QGIS 2.12 (Windows 64bit) if you select the Node Tool and click on a Node
in an editable vector layer a dialog called "Vertex Editor" shows up. This
tool can be very useful. However most of the time I don't need it. Is there
a possibility to disable the Vertex Editor Panel so it doesn't show up
automatically? For me this is important because I am using a Plugin that has
a special UI and the Vertex Editor Panel just doesn't fit in.

Thank you very much!

Josh

Re: [Qgis-user] ARCGIS Geodatabase import

[Clifford Snow]

QGIS should be able to open FileGDB. When opening the vector file, select
"directory" instead of file. You will be prompted to select which layers
you want to add.

To verify if your gdal is capable of opening FileGDB, you can run "ogrinfo
--formats" to get a list of supported formats.

Hi Pierre!
Your Id field, which you updated, is it the FID or Object ID field in the
shapefile?
If so, you have broken the shape file by updating it outside of ESRI
applications.
The FID is the internal key between the geometry and the dbase attribute
table, and it should never be altered or trusted, or used for any purpose.
Actually, QGis ought to hide that field by default.

Hi Chris,

This option does not appear on already existing feature types.

Please add a new writer (independent from the ones you already have in your 
workspace) and make sure you uncheck the Option "Create Generic Spatial 
Columns".

Then, in the next dialogue - the Feature Type Properties Dialogue have a look 
in the "General" tab - not the "Format Parameters" tab.

Have a look at the two attached screenshots.

I am also in the 2015 edition.

Hope this helps,

Hi Chris,

Ah yes - sorry. Forgot about that.

Here are the instructions:

In FME, if you add a writer for a Postgis database have a look into the 
"Parameters" dialogue. In there you find a checkbox labeled "Create Generic 
Spatial Columns". --> make sure you uncheck this checkbox.

Then if you add a new Feature type you will find a drop-down box in the 
"General" tab labeled with "Geometry". There you can select the geometry type, 
such as "postgis_point" or "postgis_linestring".

Can you please let me know if this works for you?

Hi Chris,

This explains it.

You need to define as "geometry(WKBTYPE,srid)", e.g. "geometry(POLYGON,21781)" 
for QGIS. FME has an option to do that. I just don't have at hand. I could send 
you instructions on Monday, if you want.

Yes it does exist in the geometry column view but the type is listed as 
GEOMETRY.

This table is being created from a non-spatial SQL Server table, and we use a 
vertex creator transformer in FME to create the spatial table – we cannot seem 
to explicitly specify the geometry that the spatial table should be as it is 
not a spatial layer when imported?

Hi Chris,

That's true - starting from Postgis 2.0, geometry_columns is a view in the 
public schema.

Did you check if that view exists and if the view contains an entry for your 
spatial table?

Also make sure, when importing from FME, that you restrict your geometry type 
to either POINT, POLYGON, LINESTRING, COMPOUNDCURVE or the MULTI versions. QGIS 
likes a single geometry type per table, while Postgis would permit to store 
mixed geometry types in the same geometry column.

Maybe you did not specify this geometry type restriction when importing your 
data with FME.

I am finding that when accessing the data in DB Manager, I get a warning that

On asking another user they mentioned that the geometry columns table was 
removed in PostGIS 2.0, so my question is, is this a known issue / bug within 
QGIS, or is it the way in which I am storing my data? Just wondering if this 
will be looked at in future QGIS versions.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS DB Manager geometry columns issue with PostGIS 2.0

[Chris Buckmaster]

Hi Andreas

This doesn’t seem to be an option for me – perhaps this is on a different 
version? I am using FME Professional Edition 2015.1.3.1. Below is what I see…

Hi Chris,

Ah yes - sorry. Forgot about that.

Here are the instructions:

In FME, if you add a writer for a Postgis database have a look into the 
"Parameters" dialogue. In there you find a checkbox labeled "Create Generic 
Spatial Columns". --> make sure you uncheck this checkbox.

Then if you add a new Feature type you will find a drop-down box in the 
"General" tab labeled with "Geometry". There you can select the geometry type, 
such as "postgis_point" or "postgis_linestring".

Can you please let me know if this works for you?

Hi Chris,

This explains it.

You need to define as "geometry(WKBTYPE,srid)", e.g. "geometry(POLYGON,21781)" 
for QGIS. FME has an option to do that. I just don't have at hand. I could send 
you instructions on Monday, if you want.

Hi Andreas

Yes it does exist in the geometry column view but the type is listed as 
GEOMETRY.

This table is being created from a non-spatial SQL Server table, and we use a 
vertex creator transformer in FME to create the spatial table – we cannot seem 
to explicitly specify the geometry that the spatial table should be as it is 
not a spatial layer when imported?

Hi Chris,

That's true - starting from Postgis 2.0, geometry_columns is a view in the 
public schema.

Did you check if that view exists and if the view contains an entry for your 
spatial table?

Also make sure, when importing from FME, that you restrict your geometry type 
to either POINT, POLYGON, LINESTRING, COMPOUNDCURVE or the MULTI versions. QGIS 
likes a single geometry type per table, while Postgis would permit to store 
mixed geometry types in the same geometry column.

Maybe you did not specify this geometry type restriction when importing your 
data with FME.

I have been using FME to load some data into PostGIS and view it in QGIS 2.12.3.

I am finding that when accessing the data in DB Manager, I get a warning that

On asking another user they mentioned that the geometry columns table was 
removed in PostGIS 2.0, so my question is, is this a known issue / bug within 
QGIS, or is it the way in which I am storing my data? Just wondering if this 
will be looked at in future QGIS versions.

Re: [Qgis-user] [QGis 2.10]Error while saving shape file

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi, 
May I suggest you all file a bug reports if it has not been done. 
This is indeed the third problem reported.  The first seemed related to 
deleting shapefile geometries (a known problem caused by the fact that the 
released file description by ESRI does not explain how to delete geometries, 
the second was most likely cause by a wrongly selected snapping  option 
and now this this.  
General  recommendations vary from updating QGIS to the latest version, 
disabling third party plugins that may cause memory leaks and do things like 
slowing down saving file for simple modification (as reported here), to saving 
shapefile regularly under different names (which should be done all the time 
along with backups of the original data before it is modified) and finally, to 
use a more modern file format like spatialite.   Spatialite format is 
open and apparently very effective.   Shapefile, being an old 
proprietary format  should be used only for last resort file sharing. That 
being said, I use it all the time.  Call it a bad habit! :)

Re: [Qgis-user] Open attribute table in form view by default

[DelazJ]

Hi,
Andreas, I understand your point and agreed with you now that it's clear
you know Stefan.

But like Richard, I also get uncomfortable with such an assertion.
I've already been told such a thing (twice actually). Though my company
doesn't (can't?) finance any improvement in QGIS, I already spend time on
bug reporting and doc writing. And when you're then told because you are
asking for a bug fixing, "if you want it done just pay it", it sounds like
any other contribution you might have done has no real value.
Though I agree developers need money to improve QGIS, we should also better
value time spent by volunteers.

Regards

Re: [Qgis-user] change (Night mapping) theme settings

[G. Garibaldi]

A black theme is very desirable. I've been wanting one for years. He is 
correct, when the background is black the text is only readable by 
highlighting it with the mouse. Please fix.


With a black screen background it is comfortable to work with very few 
lights on in the workspace helping to save on the electric bill.

Re: [Qgis-user] [QGis 2.10]Error while saving shape file

[Bernhard Ströbl]

hi Pierre,

if modifying a vertex takes that long I suggest you unload all(!) 
plugins, some are known to slow down QGIS. Try if that enhances speed. 
If yes reload you plugins one after another and see if you can identify 
the one causing the trouble.

Re: [Qgis-user] Open attribute table in form view by default

[Neumann, Andreas]

 

Hi Richard, 

There 1300! open feature requests in our bug queue. These features don't
get implemented by accident or on a voluntary basis (maybe some do). We
have to be realistic. If we want to have good progress, we better start
sponsoring features! 

I am not asking a poor guy from a development country to privately
invest into QGIS, but a government organization from one of the richest
countries in the world. I also happen to work for a gov agency (on
province level in Switzerland). I know that these organizations have
enough money to invest into such software - they also pay
thousands/millions of Euros in licensing fees for proprietary software.
And by using OpenSource software they save a lot and gain flexibility -
and they can influence how the software they use gets developed. I
personally think, these organizations even have an obligation to give
something back to the OpenSource software they use! 

Don't you think that it is quite ok to politely ask such organizations
to contribute a little bit financially for features they have an
interest in? If there are many such organizations contributing together,
we all profit from each other - and the ones who cannot afford to
contribute can still use it as well. I have no problem with that. 

How do you think other OpenSource gets developed? Linux, LibreOffice,
Firefox, Apache, Postgres, Postgis, etc, etc. - do you think this all
happens solely from voluntary contributors? 

Already in 2010 75% of the contributions in the Linux kernel were
contributed by paid developers:
http://apcmag.com/linux-now-75-corporate.htm/ I think it is safe to
assume that this figure is even higher in 2015. Do you think all of
these paid devs and the organizations who sponsor them are evil?

Pierre,

 

this is now the third message in this list concerning fatal errors in editing 
shapefiles in QGIS within a few weeks (see details below). Maybe it’s not a 
consolation to you, but others lost a lot of confidence in QGIS, too. Looks 
like there are bugs that are very difficult to remove. It’s a pity that there 
is no information on the debugging status.

Hello Group,

Am using QGIS 2.10.1 and have done so without significant problems for 
many months.  I am attempting to create simple polygons in a shapefile by 
direct vertex entry or copying polygons from another shapefile layer and 
pasting them into the active layer.

In almost every case, these features disappear.  There is an entity 
entry in the attribute table but there are no polygons created.  In one case a 
polygon was created but it was not the shape that I digitized; no more polygons 
could be created although the process for doing so appears to be working.  No 
error messages were created.  The CRS for the project and the shapefile are the 
same.

The shapefile can be opened in another GIS but has no content.

Here are some product details:  QGIS version  2.10.1-Pisa  QGIS code

Hello all,

 

today I was working on a shape dataset and I had to delete some features. Later 
I opened the shapefile in ArcMap by chance and I found that the features were 
not deleted. They still did exist. I repeated the process – and got the same 
result. Then, searching the internet, I found this incredible post: 
https://hub.qgis.org/issues/11007

 

It is a well known problem (for 1,5 years!!) that QGIS is not able to delete 
shapes in a reliable way!! I was horrified to read this because it is the same 
as if a Word processor would not be able to delete a letter from a text. I 
cannot understand why the QGIS developers haven’t fix that yet. If QGIS really 
wants to compete with ArcMap, they should fix it as soon as possible. At least, 
the according menu entries or buttons should be inactivated if they don’t bring 
out reliable results.

 

My questions are:

* is this information still up to date? I can‘t read all of the 80 
answers to the post now to get in-depth information ...

* does anybody have information about how they are planning to handle 
this problem at the development team?

* is there a workaround for this? Do the GRASS vector tools bring out 
reliable results?

* are there more of those software errors in QGIS that might lead to 
huge problems in working on vector data and sharing them with others? If so, is 
there a „black list“ of things one is never allowed to use in QGIS if you don’t 
want to destroy your datasets?

That's also wrong ;)   -84 was a week old and hence was truncated.  -92 is the

Re: [Qgis-user] Open attribute table in form view by default

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Stefan,

I think it would be a useful setting to have "per layer".

The QEP you mention is primarily about making the fields settings tab 
easier to use / splitting it up in two separate tabs. Perhaps it would 
be more useful to open a feature request for that (if none exists so 
far) than adding it to the QEP - which seems to deal with different issues.


If this important to you - please consider sponsoring a dev to implement 
this. It can't be very complicated to implement.


For the next QGIS release we will also contract with Matthias to do 
several enhancements to transactions/relations, forms and widgets. I can 
send you more details if you are interested.

Hi Stefan,

I don't know such a setting. And no - you did not overlook it.

The only tool that opens the form view by default is the identify tool 
- if the checkbox is enabled that opens the form if there only one 
target. But then you can't easily switch to the table view.$

[Qgis-user] adding points within polygons

[rsweeny]

Hi
People's answers to Grant's question were so clear I'm hoping that 
something similar might exist to facilitate my task. I have 32k of 
polygons representing every lot in the city of Montreal in 1903. I also 
have the 1901 census returns coded by household (95k of them) to those 
lots. Is there a simple way to have Qgis place points within each lot 
polygon for the corresponding households?

Thanks in advance.

Exactly.

Sure it would.  But that will happen with the next point release anyway (every
month) and meanwhile there are also the nightlies.

That's wrong.   qgis-rel-dev contains the plugins.  No need to install the
plugins separately.

Correct.  There should be a stable version that will be around for a while.

Another option is to switch to the standalone.  There you get a snapshot of a 
working setup (unless grass gets updated in osgeo4w after the qgis packages are 
uploaded, but before the standalone installer could be made).

Yes, just as the daily builds of GRASS.

Re: [Qgis-user] Open attribute table in form view by default

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your answer!

My use case is using QGIS as DB frontend where also non-spatial layers have to 
be edited and editing does not necessarily start with a geometry...
Would you consider having such a setting a relevant enhancement? If so, should 
I open an enhancement ticket or add a comment to Matthias`s “Fields and Forms 
redesign”: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/37

Cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I don't know such a setting. And no - you did not overlook it.

The only tool that opens the form view by default is the identify tool - if the 
checkbox is enabled that opens the form if there only one target. But then you 
can't easily switch to the table view.$

Re: [Qgis-user] Create rectangle with minLat,maxLat,minLon,maxLon

[gam17]

Hi,
   you can use a plugin called QAD (https://github.com/geosim/QAD).
code repository is here:
https://github.com/geosim/QAD

download zip from here:
https://github.com/geosim/QAD/archive/master.zip then unzip in
/.qgis2/python/plugins then remove the "-master" suffix
(otherwise you'll have python invalid syntax during loading plugin
module) and restart QGIS.

The current coordinate system must be a projected system if you want QAD 
commands to work.
You can draw a rectangle specifing the coordinates in any coordinate 
system (look at the QAD documentation,
section "Coordinate specified in a coordinate reference system different 
from the current one").
Type "rectangle" command (english version) in the text window or use 
toolbar or menu (vector->QAD).





Hi,
I have a very basic question, but could not find an answer. How do I
create a rectangle based on minLat, minLon, maxLat, maxLon? I have a
table with 100,000+ rectangle bounds.

Re: [Qgis-user] ARCGIS Geodatabase import

[Piotr Kania]

Hi,

If your layers have long field attribute's names and you would like to 
have it in qgis the easiest would be export your .gdb file to spatialite 
format 
(http://www.northrivergeographic.com/archives/spatialite-arcgis-qgis), 
then you could open spatialite in qgis and use it or export to postgis. 
Sometimes sth goes wrong and there are some geometry errors, that's why 
if I were you I would just export all layers from .gdb to shapefiles and 
then export to postgis - don't edit shapefiles in qgis, it's safer to 
edit vector layers as a postgis or spatialite - if you need to stick 
with qgis all the time. In shapefile all long attribute's names are 
truncated, so you will have to rebuild in postgis or spatialite.

I have an ARCGIS geodatabase that I would like to import into QGIS. 
The data came as a zip file which created a folder name like 
x.gdb, inside of which are a collection of .gdb files. Is 
this normal that the files are in a folder named something.gdb?


Is there a way of importing this into a QGIS project?
