Re: [Qgis-user] "QgsProcessing" has no attribute 'run' (same for 'processing')

2024-03-18 Thread Zoltan Szecsei via QGIS-User

Nice attitude, Hannes :-)
Yes, totally true about the AI trap. You can't write a program by 
handing the logic over to a "well read entity"

I use it when my mind is plain out of google keywords.
In maybe half a dozen attempts with AI, I have only hit gold once.

Thanks for the links.

Hi Zoltan,

the most important thing first: Don't fall into the "AI can program" 
mindset trap. You *will* end up with nonsense like this if you do. 
Those tools can often hallucinate non-existent APIs and mislead you. 
They might work for some more basic or wide-spread code bases but so 
far I have seen very bad results for PyQGIS. Best search the web using 
"pyqgis" as additional keyword to your query.


As https://qgis.org/pyqgis/3.34/core/QgsProcessing.html says, that 
class only contains data to be used by Processing things. It is not 
your entry point into using Processing via Python.


For that please see 
https://docs.qgis.org/3.34/en/docs/user_manual/processing/console.html 
, written by actual, smart humans ;)


And for the Batch file: Don't write your own, QGIS comes with a 
perfect one already, called |python-qgis[-ltr].bat| . See e.g. 
https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/428577/51035


Cheers and good luck!

Re: [Qgis-user] Running QGis on a machine with Python 3.11 and PyCharm ?

2023-06-12 Thread Zoltan Szecsei via QGIS-User

Hi Toussaint,
I am not a hard-core developer, but I script/code whenever I can 
automate a procedure, so:


 * It is my understanding that QGIS is developed/maintained in the QT
   environment - so go that way rather than PyCharm if you plan to
   dabble in QGIS development.
   Perhaps one of the devs that lurk on this user list will add to this
   comment of mine.
 * Get on to QGIS-dev as well - you might find some better guidance
   there, for PyCharm and other python scripting issues.

I will try to find time to set up QGIS and PyCharm on my laptop in the 
next day or so - *_but in the meantime, google_* "pycharm with qgis" - 
there are about a billion articles and videos that come up.


Oh!, Yes!, I am exaggerating. :-)

Regards,
Zoltan

Hi Zoltan,

Thank you in advance for your help.

For now, I didn't manage to find a suitable configuration by setting 
paths and environment variables in a startup ".bat" file. QGis still 
tries to load things from my system-wide Python folder (c:\python), 
even if no path or env variable points to it. Then, it fails.


The only workaround I found is a bit rough : rename my c:\python 
folder to c:\python.bak, run QGis, then rename back to the original 
name ! Of course, this prevents from using QGis at the same time with 
PyCharm or other Python stuff, and is not an acceptable solution on 
the long term.


Even if I don't have the skills to dive into QGis source code for now, 
I may try to play around with some simple plugins. Then, wouldn't it 
be a better idea to install QGis in "developer" mode, by cloning / 
forking the GitHub repo ?


Any suggestions are welcome.

Kind regards.

Hi,
I seem to remember that pycharm website provides help on using

The gist of it is that you add the pycharm startup to the end of the 
bat file that qgis provides for setting up all the env variables.
Starting pycharm from the Taskbar will not set these environment for 
you so use the edited bat file I describe above.

There might also be a way in your pycharm venv to pre set these env vars.
I have a new laptop which I have not yet set up for this but if you 
are still stuck tomorrow,  I'll set mine up and let you know what works.

[Qgis-user] Trapping Kyb/Mouse events during a QGIS geometry edit process

2022-05-07 Thread Zoltan via Qgis-user

Hi Listers,
I'm looking for some pointers as where to start, or keywords to google 
or recipes to follow (if any).


I'm looking to trap kyb/mouse events whilst in the middle of a geometry 
edit.
If a suitable event is trapped, then to run a subroutine and then return 
to the edit process by either handing the edit process the same event or 
generating another event for the edit routine to continue the geometry 
edit with.


So I suppose my question is, is where do I insert such kyb/mse event 
filter.


Any pointers would be welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Zoltan

Sigh, this is where SHP-file hell comes in - it's the scourge of GIS.
Wouldn't it have been nice if your road network was in a data 
structure that allows you to go to each point and ask it "how many 
lines emanate from me"?


Sorry, I know this is not helpful to you, but the SHP file format 
needed to have died 20 years ago.

Re: [Qgis-user] Classify road network into dead-end links and links connected on both ends

2022-05-02 Thread Zoltan via Qgis-user
On a more helpful note, you could add 2 columns to your line-string 
attribute table and then iterate through the start and end coords of 
each line, counting the number of lines selected at their endpoints.

Re: [Qgis-user] RAM and processing speed requirements for QGIS

2022-04-20 Thread Zoltan via Qgis-user

Hi Helena/List,
For all the good intentions everyone who has responded to you, have had 
- they are truly "not that useful"


So, before I get shot:
Yes, more memory, HD->SSD->NVMe does help a lot - but did Mac's have M.2 
slots 7 years back? If yes, were they configured as NVMe or SATA?
Is "new" Mac memory different from 7-year-old Mac memory? (yes, of 
course it is)


So let's get pragmatic:
Buying any of the suggested HW to upgrade might be throwing good money 
after bad - because if they do not help you sufficiently, you will still 
have to buy a newer PC, and you may end up being stuck with components 
you cannot use in your newer PC.


So, judging by your original post below - you have not even tried QGIS yet.

It is free!
Download it.
Try it.

If your electricity bill goes up because you are boiling your kettle 
more often than normal (while waiting for QGIS to respond), then buy a 
new PC - that is, if you are unable to_borrow _extra memory to see if 
that helps sufficiently.


If you buy a new PC, then yes, look at all the responses you have received.
Buy at least 16GB memory - preferably 32GB
Do not buy any 'old' HDs (those with moving parts) unless you need >4TB 
of disk space. (very easy with GIS data) - but keep system & swap on the 
fastes SSDs you can afford.

If you buy SSDs, make sure they are NVMe and not SATA-SSDs.

No matter what GIS SW you choose, it will need a 'decent' PC if you are 
asking it to do stuff more than just play around with simple maps.


Hope this helps you with your way forward.

Kind regards,
Zoltan

As others have written it will depend on the tasks you are doing.

The performance of any computer can be significantly improved by 
replacing HDDs with SSDs. Modern computers using the NVMe standards 
for SSD (M.2 interface etc) can offer a great deal of speed 
improvement for SSD storage over SATA which is very significant when 
working on intensive projects that use a lot of resources.


The PC platform is significantly easier to expand if resource needs 
change. My seven year old system started out with 8 GB of RAM and 
currently has 32 GB, whilst the swap file performance (virtual memory) 
has been significantly improved with SATA and M.2 SSD storage (now at 
200 GB). The latter provides almost limitless performance capability 
enhancements to the system at modest cost without having to upgrade 
the entire system. I use Ubuntu as the operating system for this 
computer.

Re: [Qgis-user] again: Create Geospatial PDF producing faulty output

2022-03-21 Thread Zoltan via Qgis-user

Hi Chris,
I have not followed this thread in any detail, but as far as your labels 
comment below is concerned, depending on the output you choose, there 
will be slight changes in extents and scale, which could affect the 
labels becoming rendered or not.
Maybe try playing with options that enforce displaying of all labels and 
then see if you labels still disappear?

is would be appreciated. Not a single answer until now.

The problem description: some features (in my case line features)
are omitted when QGIS writes the geospatial PDF. Normal PDF output
works fine, as well as TIF image output. So the problem cannot be
in the data.

Please help!



No help I am afraid, but I do notice that labels appearing both on

I have a simple demo in case anyone is interested. This is with latest 
version on Ubuntu.

Re: [Qgis-user] Center line of an elongated BASIN

2022-02-11 Thread Zoltan

Hi,
I'm coming in late to this methodology discussion, so apologies if I am 
off the mark.


So by 'center line' I'm guessing you mean a line that is always 
equidistant from the polygon boundary.


I had a similar problem a few years back where I had to create road 
center lines from a polygon road representation for a small country.


After some experimentation on speed and efficacy, I came up with a 
Python script that:


   merged (dissolved) all poygons) - but you only have 1 polygon :-)
   rasterised the polygon (as finely as you choose relevant to your issue)
   ran r.thin
   vectorised the (now) single line of cells.
   ran a Douglas-Peuker style smoothing on the staircase lines

Worked like a dream for my purpose.
Maybe you could adapt this logic flow to your needs?

HTH,
Zoltan

Re: [Qgis-user] Mosaic Datasets and Raster Catalogs in qGIS

2022-01-14 Thread Zoltan
Hi Jason,
You just need to create a VRT.
The vrt is just that:  a virtual raster table.
Fiddle with the options and notice that you can mix rasters that have differing 
projection.

Test out on maybe a 100 or so Raster files and when you get the feel for it,  
dump the lot in. I've had >5000 files in  one with no hassles.
Note that if you output your vrt file into the same folder as your rasters, 
when you recreate your vrt, it will read in your old one and go into a loop.
I logged this as a bug and was told unceremoniously that it was not a bug.

Btw, when you first load your vrt into qgis, have rendering turned off.
Then set your zoom display scales before turning rendering on again. This will 
stop qgis from trying to display all your tasters if you happen to be zoomed 
out too far.

Have fun, it works well.

Regards
Zoltan

So if you want them to match I guess you should use the python

Grass has switched to the Geographic Lib method. I’m surprised

Sebastian,

thank you very much for your precise answer and materials sent
- I have read them carefully.

So, as far as I can understand, QGIS has moved in version 3.20
to a new way of counting areas (other libraries? GRASS
algorithm instead of Geographic lib? I have actually noticed a
different nomenclature and definition of EPSG 2180 for some
time in new versions…), that will be more accurate?

I must admit that, for me as a GIS operator, it is surprising
and sounds like bad news - so far surfaces have always been
the same in various GIS software, whether or not it was
open-source or commercial (ArcGIS Pro). So from this moment it
will be that I will get different surfaces depending on the
software it was calculated? :(

I tested your polygon, to the best of my limited ability, and
the areas were indeed different in QGIS 3.16 and 3.22 as would
be expected from that change . However it would be hoped that
the area measurement would be more accurate in 3.22.

[Qgis-user] When running a Custom Function, the return value is different from when stepping through it and watching the 'Preview' value in Field Calculator

2021-10-19 Thread Zoltan

Hi,
Me again :-(

I've written a custom function in Field Calculator and want to put its 
return value into a new Text field in the attribute table.


When I step through the features I get the correct and expected values 
shown next to 'Preview'

But
when I click OK to run the Field Calculator, it runs for a long enough 
time, auto-closes on completion and in the attribute table the new field 
is created, but value is 'Nothing for None' for all features.
*Note:* variable rd_at reflects correct contents when stepping through 
and observing 'Preview' but seems to revert to Nonetype when running the 
function.


What am I missing regarding using custom functions?
Is it an intended thing that the Field Calculator auto-closes after 
running a custom function?


Thanks again,
Kind regards,
Zoltan

*Note:*  The msg variable was introduced in case placing 'return' in 
various lines in the script was causing  problems. I have also made the 
script below "more pedantic" to try and debug it.

Re: [Qgis-user] extracting vertices from a multipolygon using Field Calculator Function Editor

2021-10-19 Thread Zoltan

Thank you Stefan,
I knew it would be as simple as that, but could not find it (the 'Java 
style' in the QgsGeometry class must have made me skip experimenting 
with that )
In Afrikaans (I am South African/Hungarian) there is a saying:  'As jy 
dom is, moet jy ...xxx'  -  and that was applicable to me in this case :-)


I wrote the script yesterday in a freestanding (PyCharm) environment to 
solve the issue, as I needed to 'get it done', but this info is useful 
for future.


Yesterday was the first time I was trying out the function editor and, 
just btw, a week or two back was when I first started writing QGis 
python scripts to solve work issues.


So yes, I am struggling to find 'what is where' even though I am 10's of 
years down the road picturing the algorithm needed to solve my issue.
My current challenge is also QGis Atlas with multiple sub-maps per page 
- but I am 'getting there' with some pointers received from this list.


Thanks again for your response.
Kind regards,
Zoltan

Yes, Zoltan, all you ask seems possible to me. The secret is in the 
way you prepare your coverage layer to iterate over the items. Check 
the video comment as I forgot to explain one step in the video.


I also have this old blog post that covers dynamic size pages. The 
expressions are a bit outdated. that is, there are now functions that 
make the expressions easier:

    *Von:* "Zoltan" 
*An:* "qgis-user" 
*Betreff:* [Qgis-user] QGIS Atlas gymnastics
Hi,
I wonder if someone can confirm if below is possible or not, using
the Atlas facilities  QGIS 3.20.3 in WIndows 10.

Two issues, the second relying on the first.
*#1 Variable size Map Item.*
I would like to vary the size of the Map Item window, depending on
the zoom window of the Atlas page.
I can set the "Position and Size" using an Expression or an
attribute Field, but this seems to be fixed rather than dynamic
ie: Is it possible to have Expression and/or Field values dynamic
per Atlas coverage page?

*#2 Multiple Sub-maps per MapSheet.*
Is it possible to have an Atlas page layout such that (say) in the
top half of the page you have your zoomed map (as in #1 above) and
in the bottom half of that sheet-page you place n-mapboxes  as
insets predefined as n-AOI rectangles inside the zoom-window in
the top of this MapPage?

*A practical example/use would be:*
Say you are doing an aerial analysis of a stretch of river and you
have identified areas of interest by placing oriented rectangles
around them.
You now want to show an overview of segments of the river, and
then a zoom-in to each identified AOI rectangle to show larger
scale prints below this river segment.

*Method could/would be to:*

Using the width of your intended page size, calculate the
length of river you can fit across 1 page of your Atlas. Let's
assume 1Km
Now a river meanders so you cannot run down the polyline
depicting the river, you need to rotate and cut the river to
the width of your atlas page.
This means your atlas Map-Item width will be constant, but the
height, due to curvatures in the river, will vary.
Once you have your oriented MBRs calculated along the river,
you can use these as your Atlas Coverage layer.
To show this with optimal page-area usage, you would need the
Atlas facility I describe in *#1 above*.

Now, along the river you will have pre-placed your oriented
AOI rectangles.
These will be much smaller rectangles than the 1Km
river-length Atlas Coverage rectangles.
Now, for each AOI rectangle inside the current 1Km coverage
rectangle, I want to show a larger scale image below the
current coverage rectangle.
If*#2 above* was possible and flexible, one could use the
calculated (current) bottom left paper coord of the coverage
rectangle to calculate the top-left position of the first AOI
area.
And so on across then down the remaining Atlas page for
subsequent AOI boxes, which will likely be of varying size.

I suppose this is rather like wanting an Atlas page-set within and
Atlas page.

Anyone achieved something like this?
Does this sound useful?

I guess, unless I've missed some facility in Atlas, I will be
doing this by using the Atlas facility to spit out carefully named
jpeg images, and then assembling the pages using Python and
LibreOffice (or something).

All thoughts/directions welcome.

Kind regards,
Zoltan

[Qgis-user] Results from QgsGeometryUtils.lineCircleIntersection

2021-10-10 Thread Zoltan

Hi,
I am struggling with using QgsGeometryUtils.lineCircleIntersection in a 
python script I am writing outside of QGIS 3.20.3 [495fbaec], using PyCharm.
In 
https://qgis.org/pyqgis/3.2/core/Geometry/QgsGeometryUtils.html#qgis.core.QgsGeometryUtils.lineCircleIntersection
it says that:    If the intersection has two solutions (points), the 
closest point to the initial intersection point is returned.


I am wanting to find the coordinate on the polyline, that is at a set 
distance from the polyline startpoint.
Note that this polyline meanders so I cannot do this using point on line 
at distance 'd' from startpoint


Unfortunately this utility extends my vertex to vertex line segments and 
I get results where the intersection point is not actually ON my 
line-segment.
This is easy to check for, but the problem is that this utility only 
returns the first intersection point found, which is not always the one 
actually sitting on my line-segment.


Am I approaching this problem incorrectly, or is this a known 'feature' 
of this utility?


Any guidance welcome.

Thanks and regards,
Zoltan

Hi,

You are missing one of the most important aspects of QGIS (and most GIS
software): The data is independent of the project.

The project > save action saves the project, which include what 
layers you

have loaded, what order you gave them, their styles, and so on.

When you edit vector layers, you need to use the save icon in the
digitising toolbar, the one next to pencil icon that you have probably
clicked to start editing. This is done layer by layer.


The only time I have seen QGIS prompt the user to save an edited but 
not yet saved layer is when you Quit.

At that moment it does seem to remind one about any unsaved layers.

However, if it crashes then any unsaved new layers, or unsaved changes 
to pre-existing layers, are lost.


The crucial step,as Alexandre says, is to save the changes in the 
layer by *clicking on the floppy diskette icon* next to the pencil...
Alternatively, toggling the Pencil to turn of editing will also prompt 
you to save changes.

Re: [Qgis-user] changing polygon to point

2018-09-16 Thread Siki Zoltan

Dear Boaz,

in QGIS 2.x you can use the realcentroid plugin.
In QGIS 3.x you can use the point on surface from the processing 
toolbox->vector geometry->point on surface

Re: [Qgis-user] NTV2 Grid Shits

2017-10-24 Thread Siki Zoltan

Dear Tyler!

proj4 projections definitions are stored on ubuntu in the file
/usr/share/proj/epsg, edit this file to add +geoidgrids=your_grid.

QGIS projection definitions are stored in a sqlite database, on ubuntu you 
can find the srs.db in the /usr/share/qgis/resources directory.

You can update the record of a projection in this database.
I have sofar used +nadgrids for horizontal coordinates, I don't know if
QGIS allow +geogrids, too.
Try to update parameters column in tbl_srs table:
UPDATE tbl_srs SET parameters=parameters || ' +geoidgrids=your_gtx_file' 
where srid=your_epsg_code;


Be careful, if you update your QGIS version you probably have to update 
also the srs.db.

Can you add your custom CRS? Maybe you have +datum=nad27 which uses the

specific folder and restarted QGIS set the settings to always ask for
grid
shift file for transformations yet I do not see the one I put in there

my list to pick from.



Can you explain where that setting should be?


I also tried to install a plugin for NTV2 transformations but cannot

You can workaround that GRASS error by creating that folder, or changing
the folder entry for GRASS 7 to an existing folder.
But to use your grid in the plugin, you would need some python code
around
it, like the other grids have in C:\Users\\.qgis2\pyt

Without that processing would not know about your grid.

Re: [Qgis-user] ogr2ogr - how to use -s_srs, -t_srs and -a_srs

2017-08-05 Thread Siki Zoltan

Dear Erik,

if there is a .prj file to your shape and it is valid you need not to use 
-s_srs. Only one of -a_srs and -t_srs is neccessary in your case, if you 
want to reproject coordinates use -t_srs. If you want only change the 
projection but not the coordinates use -a_srs.

If you open through the OGR provider (Add vector layer), this will work. Note

AFAIK there is no direct solution to edit ods/xls/xlsx files from QGIS.
There are two possible scenarios:
1. Edit your speadseet data in Libre|Open|MS office and open it in QGIS 
and join it to your spatial data. If your spreadsheet is open in both QGIS 
and Excel it can cause trouble.


2. Open you spreadsheet in QGIS and save as a QGIS editable format (e.g. 
dbf, sqlite) and edit these data. If you need again these data in a 
spreadsheet convert it back (probably through csv format).


Hope it helps you,

One single command that solves one point only would do as well, I would

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sylvain
Thanks for your hint. Yes this is one possibility - but a very poor one because:

-  If several users on different machines use this project file to 
access the data it only works if the acrobat installation path is the same

Also I thought (and read somewhere) that the action type "open" does not 
require to specify the program with which a file should be opened. Am I wrong??

Objet : [Qgis-user] Action "open" to open a pdf-File

QGIS 2.8.1-Wien / Windows 8 / MSSQL-Spatial
Hi List
I want to open a PDF-File from the QGIS-Object-Attribute Window (which pops up when I 
click with the "info-Tool" on a e.g. point-geometry).

What I have done so far:

-  I have a geometry-table in the MSSQL spatial database with point  
geometries which works fine (displays in map, is editable etc..)

-  I have an attribute which contains an absolute path to a PDF-file on 
our server (The path is correct and works in Explorer).

-  I have defined an action of type "Open", given it a name, added the action [% 
"PDF File"%] referring to the attribute with the file path and added it to the action 
list.

When I open the Object Attribute Window and right click somewhere I can select 
my action BUT nothing happens, not even an error message... I'm clueless.

Using the Action Tool from the toolbar - same result, nothing happens, no error 
message.

Any ideas?

Thanks, best regards

Dear Russel,

you cannot export raster to dxf, it is available only for vector layers.
If your cad software can handle geoferenced raszter (e.g. AutoCAD Map), 
you needn't export it only open. Check your target software what raster 
formats are supported.

Re: [Qgis-user] [Qgis-developer] DXF/DWG import requirements document

2015-06-23 Thread Siki Zoltan

Dear Andreas,

beside Import of layer names as attributes I would prefer
1. setting layer filter in the import dialog (e.g. as a regexp or a
   selection list from the available CAD layers), unselected layers are
   skipped in input.
   It is not clear for me if the layer name rules can be used for this
   purpose.
2. import each CAD layer into separate QGIS layers by feature type (point,
   annotation, polyline, polygon), it could be a checkbox in the import
   dialog.

Optionally during the import polygon layers sould be cheched for islands 
(polygons inside other polygon) and remove the area of islands from the 
container polygon.

Re: [Qgis-user] Shapefile at wrong coordinates

2015-05-22 Thread Siki Zoltan

Dear Barbara,

it is probably a projection issue.
Check the SRS for both layers on both machine and the SRS for the canvas 
of QGIS. Are they the same on both machines?
If they match, check the definition of the used SRS in the srs.db on both 
machines. 
Are they the same?
You can find srs.db in the resource subdirectory of your qgis 
installation. srs.db is a sqlite database.

Re: [Qgis-user] how to calculate the overlap area of several polygons of the same shape qgis 2.4

2015-04-11 Thread Siki Zoltan

Dear Francesc,

Create a unique field in the attribute table of your polygon layer, for 
example an ordinal number of the features ($rownum in field calculator)
Add the same polygon layer twice to your QGIS project. Rename one of them 
not to mix them up. Use the Vector/Geoprcessing/Union (or intersection) 
between the two layers (refering to the same shape file).
In the result you will get the columns of the two layers, names are 
changed to be unique (e.g. if you created an id column, then you get id 
and id_2). You can ignore/delete those polygons where id = id_2.

Add an area column to the result using the field calculator.

I hope it helps you.

Best regards,
Zoltan

[Qgis-user] Cutting lines with a polygon boundary

2015-01-25 Thread Zoltan Szecsei

Hi,
I'm battling finding an easy way to cut some lines with a polygon 
boundary, and then deleting the line portions that are OUTSIDE the polygon.


Scenario:

   4 separate SHAPE files with lines in them
   1 shapefile with one polygon in it.

I need to cut the lines in all 4 shapefiles at the point that their 
lines intersect the polygon boundary. Thereafter I want to delete the 
line portions that are outside of this polygon boundary. In other words, 
to be able to crop multiple layers according to some polygon boundary.


I would have thought this to be a trivial issue, but I have tried:

 * Vector Geometry Processing Clip, but it wants to extract the
   data inside the polygon and create a new file with the extracted
   data. (To be expected)
 * Plugin 'Clipper': I select my lonely polygon, and then activate
   one of the line layers (which is also in edit mode).
   The plugin seems to do nothing when I choose 'intersection' or
   'clipping' preview, and when I choose 'clip' it tells me to
   select at least one feature (but my polygon is still selected.)
   The home-page link comes up as '404 not found'
 * Didn't notice anything in the Advanced Digitizing plugin.
 * CadTools and CadDigitize - no relevant facility found,  but
   really nice 'Help' doc - thanks guys!
 * Feature 'Cut with Polygon from another Layer' deletes the pieces
   I want to keep.
 * Feature: 'Split selected features with line from another layer'
   is to some extent what I want, but I want '... with polygon from
   another layer'

So, I eventually gave up and converted my polygon into a line layer, and 
used 'Split selected features with line from another layer', but this is 
incredibly tedious because:


 * It only does one layer at a time
 * I then have to select the line segments that I want to delete.


So, does anyone know of a way to efficiently cut features in multiple 
layers using a polygon, and then to be able to select the pieces 
(multiple layers) that are either inside or outside the polygon, and 
then delete them?


Regards  thanks in advance,
Zoltan

A script draws a layer, then the next, applying a Z offset to each 
layer as it renders them, building the stack. You can use pstext to 
add text for each layer (which can be on the page - does not have to 
be in the map extent. At the end ps2raster can convert the postscript

Depending on how complex your layers are, the script can get a bit

yes, that is the way what you found. There is no text/annotation support

You can make a label from the Text column. What is not imported from the

on the DXF export, which is in already quite good shape in QGIS master. Once 
this is done, we should invest in DXF reading as well.


Until then, there are only workarounds, sorry.

Dear Giacomo,

yes, that is the way what you found. There is no text/annotation
support in most of the GIS formats (e.g. shape file, PostGIS,
SpatiaLite, etc.).
You can make a label from the Text column. What is not imported from
the DXF file are the angle, size and font of the text.

Best regards,

when a single feature is identified the form of attributes is opened

Re: [Qgis-user] Duplicating a vector layer

I am new to QGIS, still very much learning how to use it.

What I wish to do is generate a number of similar vector layers, to be

causes the same changes in both.


I can find no mention of this facility in the user guide nor in the

Hi Adrian,
Depends how similar you mean by similar.
If the map geometry is the same but you just want to render the maps 
differently, take a look at the style options. There are some very 
power features for rendering according to field contents, etc.


HTH,

Re: [Qgis-user] Switch on only 1 layer of a group

2014-11-13 Thread Zoltan Szecsei
Click the little '+' sign next to the group name and the group will 
open, and then you can turn each layer on or off at will.
When you save that project it should remember which maps in that group 
were on or off.


If you change that state and you (or your user) saves the project, then 
yes, it's messed up, so are you asking how you can set a default state 
of which maps are open?
That would be quite useful to have 'snapshots' of a project state, and 
be able to call them back, or to force one of these snapshots to be the 
default state at project QGIS fire-up time. (Perhaps this could be 
implemented by putting a flag in the .QGS file, that is only writeable 
by the user that originally set it?)

Zoltan

Kinda busts my GPS logging idea, since the bearing information comes
from a different sensor than the GPS it won't be in the NMEA strings

What? You not 'hard core' enough to intercept the NMEA stream and insert

[Qgis-user] Raster VRT SRS syntax

2014-10-29 Thread Zoltan Szecsei

Hi,
I'm running an older version of gdalbuildvrt that does not recognise the 
a_srs parameter, so I want to replace line 2 of the resulting VRT file 
with my own SRS entry.

I have tried:

   SRSHBKNO27/SRS

and various other permutations with and without the 'ZANGI:' prefix.

From the GDAL tutorial, I know the EPSG code syntax style is 
SRSEPSG:4326/SRS


The CRS I need is  ZANGI:ZANGI:HBKNO27 or 'South African CRS: HBK_NO_27'

Can someone please guide me to the correct syntax.

TIA,
Zoltan

Hi Even,
When I let gdalbuildvrt simply add its own SRS from the image files,

When I query that layer to see its CRS, it shows me a Generated CRS,

I want the user to see the named CRS and not the generated (more

Hi all

Does anyone know if QGIS is affected at all by the bash bug?


Linux is affected by this bug, not QGIS.
So if you're running Linux, then yes, you may be affected.

You can check by opening a terminal window, and running this (cut  
paste it into the window:


   env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c 'echo hello'

If you get the Vulnerable echo from this, then yes, your version of 
bash has the bug.


You can fix this by updating to the latest bash version.

   sudo apt-get update  sudo apt-get install bash

(Debian based Linux assumed, eg: Ubuntu)

After running this, rerun the env line above to see if it is fixed.
If still buggy, then you probably have an older version of linux, so 
you'll have to download bash and recompile it on your system. (or 
upgrade to a newer linux, then add the newest bash using the above 
apt-get..)


To recompile bash, you'll need build-essentials installed. If you have 
an older (no longer supported linux, you may be up against a wall if you 
can't run gcc  make), but assuming your installed linux version already 
has gcc, make etc installed, run the following:


   mkdir src

   #download all patches

   #apply all patches
   for i in $(seq -f %03g 0 25);do patch -p0  ../bash43-$i; done
   #build and install

Ups, my bad...

You can get your features centroid using the function centroid(). It will
return a point geometry, then you can get the x and y by using either x_min
or x_max and y_min or y_max. Like this:

 xmin( centroid( $geometry )) || ' , ' || ymin( centroid( $geometry ))

Hello Leo,

That's quite straightforward actually. In the field calculator (or in any
other instance of expression builder) there are 2 geometry functions to
achieve what you need,  $x and $y.

You can either put them in separate fields or create a string to populate
a single one. Something like this,

$x || ' , ' || $y

Would produce something like this:

'1234.56 , 9876.43'

Notice that the double pipe character || works as a string concatenator.
And that the result is a string therefore not useful for any arithmetic
operations after.

Hope this helped.

Hi Nathan,

are you sure?
QgsExpression('100.0 * 50 / 3').evaluate()
1666.6667

QgsExpression('50 / 3 * 100.0').evaluate()
1600.0

Hey,

There is no left to right here, / is higher order then * so both these are

exp2 = QgsExpression('50 / 2 * 100.0')
exp.evaluate(), exp2.evaluate()

(2500.0, 2500.0)

What you are seeing is the QGIS expression engine doing the multiply part
result first, which returns a float, then it will say is the left side a
int AND the right side a int if that comes back as NO then it does a float
operation.  Basically this means once one of the values in the equation is
a float the result will come out as float.

Re: [Qgis-user] Field calculator QGIS2.4 division error

Dear Ivan,

it is not strange, c/c++ evaluate expressions this way.
100.0 * HC01_VC04  /  HC01_VC03 will give you the right result.
First the multiplication is evaluated (left to right rule), the result is 
float, then float over integer gives float result.

/ is really two operators, integer division and float division.
If both operands are integer then integer division is used.

Cheers,

The columns used are integer. The resulting column is real, lenght=10

Writing HC01_VC04  /  HC01_VC03 * 100.0
Does not work either.

Applying convert function toreal() to one of the columns, produces correct 
results. I checked it against LibreOffice Calc.

BTW:
The calculator has a strange behavior though. I need to sort and sort again the

Hello all:

I've tried many times to update a new field using both the old field calculator

Simple operations like:
HC01_VC04  /  HC01_VC03 * 100
Do not work.
The  only workaround I found was to put the function abs into the denominator:
HC01_VC04  /  abs(HC01_VC03) * 100

Then it gives the result but this should be avoidable.

I'll send the table used if anyone want to try it.

Re: [Qgis-user] Extract lines from raster

2014-08-19 Thread Siki Zoltan

Dear Matt,

there is Polygonize menu option in Raster/Convert. It uses gdal and
creates vector polygons for all connected regions of pixels in the raster 
sharing a common pixel value. Probably this is not the best for you if you 
have lines in your raster. For such tasks I usually use GRASS commands

0. r.in.gdal import your raster into GRASS
1. r.thin to narrow raster lines to 1 pixel
2. r.to.vect to create line features from raster
3. v.generalize to simplify vector lines (there are a lots of methods 
available)
4. v.out.org export your vector (you can open and edit GRASS maps in QGIS 
too)


Simplification is available also in QGIS see:
Vector menu - Geometry tools - Simplify geometries

Zoltan

here is a short python solution to flip all selected polylines in the

You can use it in the python console.

layer = qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas().currentLayer()
for feature in layer.selectedFeatures():
   geom = feature.geometry()
   nodes = geom.asPolyline()
   nodes.reverse()
   newgeom = QgsGeometry.fromPolyline(nodes)
   layer.changeGeometry(feature.id(),newgeom)
qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas().refresh()

Re: [Qgis-user] Enhancing Raster Images

2014-08-12 Thread Siki Zoltan

Hi,

I suppose blending is not the best solution, because i depends on other 
layers.

Why don't you use transparancy tab of the properties of the raster?
There you can set pixel values to be transparent (0-100%). In your case 
from 0 to 0 value 100% transparent
Then change render type to Singleband pseudocolor on the style tab and set 
individual color for any value.

In your case add 1 to the list and select a color for it.

This removes the white background and shows only the black lines.

Going further and selecting propertieshuecolorize only lightly tints the

Re: [Qgis-user] Vector symbology from attribute table

2014-08-05 Thread Siki Zoltan

Hi Leo,

AFAIK to have the classification in the legend you must use a tematic map 
type, e.g. make a categorized thematic map on the class attribute and set 
manually the color for the classes than you can create a layer style file 
(qml) from the properties/style dialog pushing the save style button.
Later you can use the style file, but if the rgb values are changed it 
doesn't work :(
An other solution can be to write a python script to collect the different 
rgb values from he attribute table and generate dinamically the style file 
or the thematic classes.

Hi Sid,
I downloaded the zip file you mentioned, and found (at least) the 
problem to be that the project files (example.qgs) points to vector 
files in directories other than that within the zip file.


Whilst I would know how to patch-fix it, I do not know the intentions or 
other details of the tutorial, so this would best be fixed by the kind 
people who wrote the tutorial.


Hopefully they are watching this thread :-)

Incidentally one of the key QGIS developers resides in that South

peppered with South African data.

notes of 4/25/14 neglect to record how I found the South Africa shape 
file, but I believe it was among the *QGIS* materials.


I need someone to put me on the right street, so I can pick up the 
tutorial at page 7 or 8 with the proper shape file and continue 
through to the end.



Please email me if you post a response advising that an answer is 
waiting for me.



Yours truly,

Re: [Qgis-user] How to filter features by date

2. In the expression field I write:

SampleTime = 2011/07/01

Try double quotes for Fields and single quotes for 'values'

For which I get the following error:

An error occurred when executing the query.

The data provider said:

So how do I get this to work?

Re: [Qgis-user] Splitting file into multiple csv files

2014-07-15 Thread Zoltan Szecsei

Hi,
Can't test this now, and am a very novice awk user, but if column 3 was 
_not_ sorted, would only the last contiguous set of records be in the 
output file(s)?
In other words, when does awk close the output file, and would '' be 
safer than '' ?

Re: [Qgis-user] Splitting file into multiple csv files

2014-07-15 Thread Zoltan Szecsei

Yep, thanks for the confirmation.
My next point (should awk close its files only after close of relevant 
braces) was get everyone following this thread, to be wary their data 
and the resulting number simultaneously open files that might be required.


As you say, simple enough (but if you don't think it through, 
embarrassing results could be hidden in your (large dataset) results.

:-)

Cheers for now,
Zoltan

Hi Zoltan,
good point. I did a little reading and there were some notes about awk

my assumption is that all files are open until the script finishes. My

data I'll keep this in mind. I'll run it with  to see if there is a

Re: [Qgis-user] Recognition of QGIS feature funders - and developers?

2014-07-04 Thread Zoltan Szecsei

Hi,
I've been following this thread with great interest.

Whilst recognising the immense importance of financial funding, surely 
there are quite a few developers out there that have added to Open 
Source by giving their own time without receiving any remuneration 
whatsoever.


I accept that it will be very difficult to measure one developer's 
efforts against another, but surely they should get as much recognition 
as the guys throwing money at this project?


Perhaps a bar-counter showing the number of source-code lines 
contributed in the last rolling 12 month period - maybe for the top 10 
contributors only?


Just a thought.
Regards to all,
Zoltan

That and/or are doing it on their employers time without being contracted by a
customer.

That's not as easy as it sounds.  There are bulk changes (eg. indentation) that
would probably attribute lines to people who didn't do the code - otoh those
maintainance task should also get recognition, although LOC does make even less
sense there (same for refactoring to remove clutter and thereby reduce LOC).

Re: [Qgis-user] TAB file export

2014-06-12 Thread Zoltan Szecsei

Hi Brett,
If you can create MID/MIF, just open the mid file in a text editor and 
check that the number of lines is the same as the number of features in 
your shapefile.

If yes, then you should have all your elements.
Then simply convert the MID/MIF to TAB

It's a 2-step solution, but it should get the job done.

On the other post regarding the changing EPSG code, check the beginning 
of your MIF file to see if it is wrong there already (MIF is also a 
text file)

If so, it may be BUG-reporting time.

I am assuming that your shapefile has a PRJ file, or in QGIS you have 
set the correct projection/CRS


HTH,
Zoltan

I ran  : Vector  Geometry Tools  Check Geometry Validity but came up

I usually get that error when some of the shapefile features are invalid.
Did you get a chance to check for validity of the features in the shapefile?

In QGIS you can use the Topology Checker plugin.
Or Vector  Geometry Tools  Check Geometry Validity.

Re: [Qgis-user] TAB file export

2014-06-11 Thread Zoltan Szecsei

Hi Brett,
I do this sort of thing regularly (shapefiles - MID/MIF, though) so I'm 
surprised at the issues you are having.
Please post the ogr2ogr command-line you are using, and, if ok, maybe a 
sample of the shapefile.


Have you tried saving as another format? That may tell you if your 
shapefile is the problem.

Regards,
Zoltan

Thanks Ross.

Downloaded ogr2ogr.  Program ran, created TAB files but they were

Read through the other web sites couldn't see anything obvious, which 
it would need to be for me to figure it out.


No matter, might hold out for 2.4.  Should update at some stage I guess.

Thanks Again

Hi Brett

Can you convert the shapefile to mapinfo (TAB or MIF/MID?) on the 
command line with ogr2ogr?


Can you upgrade to QGIS 2.2 or wait a couple of weeks for 2.4?  It 
uses a new version of GDAL/OGR.


Have you checked http://www.gdal.org/drv_mitab.html for possible error 
sources?  And see

Re: [Qgis-user] GPS issue on android tablet

hello, I've been using Qgis on android tablet (samsung galaxy tab 2)

coordinates value fro the same spot varies very widely:

I have colleagues who have experienced the same.
Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
Is that depending on GPS device or could it be a software related
issue?


There are probably 1 reasons for this.
I am surprised that you even think you are getting sub 5m accuracy.
Please plot the points on a cadastral map (or some basemap that is 
guaranteed accurate) and see what you are really getting.
You also don't say whether you are in a tree'd or urban (or whatever) 
area - but observing 9 satellites suggests somewhere in the open.


For professional GPSes, to get sub 10cm accuracy, you need to observe 
for 30-60 minutes, and do post processing.


I am not a surveyor, so my info may be not 100% - Please can a surveyor 
or someone well experienced in these issues chip in.

Zoltan
