Re: [Qgis-user] Newbie Question regarding Attribute Tables

[Áron Gergely]

Hi Wanda,

Welcome to the QGIS community!

Ctrl+F is the shortcut for 'Filter' in the attribute table.

Apparently when you hit this shortcut, the attribute window switches 
into  'form view'.
No worries, you jsut need to press a button on the lower right to return 
to attribute view.


You can toggle between attribute / table view by clicking on their 
buttons in the lower right of the attribute window:





You can read more about form view / table view in the QGIS docs:
https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/attribute_table.html#table-view-vs-form-view

Good luck!
Aron

Can you please tell me how to get the table that looks like Excel back??

Hi!

Try the rightmost button at the bottom of that window (the button left
beside the rightmost is the one creating the view you currently have)

Re: [Qgis-user] Newbie question

[Tiago Tomé]

Not sure if I'm understanding your question.

If you have shapefiles, you can delete any column you wish. And add any
column you wish. Using the identify function (what I'm guessing you mean by
information cursor) simply retrieves every field contained in the table for
that feature. Also, the lat and long retrieved and displayed by that tool
are not being gathered from the attribute table, they are what QGIS calls
"derived data".

Hi John,

If I'm correct you have data, and you want to throw away attributes?

Normally you can throw away what you want. Depending on the type of data
you have, you normally have either one column holding the Geometry
(Point, Polygon or Line) most often in Binary Form. OR (in case of a csv
dataset, you have indeed an x and y column). But besides that you can
have 1 or more optional attributes (I even think it is possible to have
None attributes).

Also depending on the type of data you have, there are often some
auxillary files (sometimes an index file, or a file containing
projection info etc)

The proof is in the eating :-) Just try.

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

Re: [Qgis-user] Newbie question re installing qgis on linux and qgis - development version

 Hi,
 I am running linux - Mageia 3 (intel x86-64) and want to run qgis
 version 2.x, and use the OpenLayers plugin. The mageia repo only has
 qgis 1.x.
 
 The Linux install instructions on 
 http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#linux
 indicate that the way for me to install is through the repo.  My repo
 has 1.x and I want 2.x so I am looking for an alternative.
 
 I have downloaded the qgis source files and done a build on the current
 development system.  I now have a developer version of qgis which I can
 run.  My problem with this is that the OpenLayers plugin
 (version 1.1.2) crashes.
 
 Can someone please advise me on how to install qgis 2.x on a linux
 system when the repo only supports qgis 1.x?

Getting the current development version was an interesting choice. It might 
have been safer to select the release-2_0 branch and download that.

 Should the OpenLayers plugin work on the development system (It does
 not look like an internal plugin to me, but I may be wrong)?

It should.
 Should I contact the plugin's developer?

If you think you have a genuine bug, there's a bug tracker on hub.qgis.org. You 
could give some information on this list about what's happening, and maybe 
someone could help. Even if just to say, yep that's a bug.

 Is there a qgis 2.0.x rpm or deb file I can install?

Absolutely. See the Downloads page.

 Is there a way to download the source files in such a way that I get
 the latest release version (which will run the OpenLayers plugin?

Yes. The downloads page points to github for the source. On github, you can 
choose which branch to use, and choose the release-2_0 branch.

Try the command 'gdalinfo --formats' and see if the format(s) you need

When you say "divide the counties" do you have
the geographic boundaries of the districts is the second
"table"?

No, I dont have boundaries for the
  Districts, except as they include the individual
  counties. Divide was a bad choice of terms. I actually
  want to group the counties. That is Counties 1  15 are
  District A, Counties 16  30 are District B etc. Of
  course, they arent numbered, they are named.

  


  
Ah, OK. So you
have a shapefile of counties and a table which looks like:
County | District

1  | A

2  | A

3  | A

16  | B

17  | B

...



You can import the table into
  QGIS using the Add Vector Layer button. The
  table should be either in DBF or CSV format (or an sqlite
  table). Then, in the properties window of the
  counties layer go to the Join tab, and set up
  a join (click the +) between the counties attrib table and the
  Districts table. Both the Join field and the Target field
  should be county name. Now you should have in your attrib
  table an additional column of Districts. Next shift over to
  the Symbology tab in the counties layer properties windows,
  and set colors based on this column. Choose "Unique Value" for
  the Classification and "District" for the field to set a color
  for each District.
Hope that's clear.
In
  addition, you can export the joined layer
  to a new shapefile to have the Districts permanently part of
  the counties layer.

Thats what Im trying to do. I could, for

  the current DBF table, but my reading seems to indicate
  that this is not a good idea.

  Yes, that is
  what my District table looks like.  I have it both as a

  find a Join tab in the counties layer properties.  I read
  that there is a join function associated with the fTools

Sorry, this new Join
  tab is in the 1.7 version. From your screen shot I guess you're
  still on 1.6.
So the way to go is
  indeed with the fTools table join feature. You should find "Join
  Attributes" under the "Vector-Data Management Tools" menu. In
  this case you'll have to use the DBF formatted table, and you
  don't need to add it in advance. Rather there's a "Join dbf Table"
  browse button to choose it. 
Give it a try and
  let us know...



  

  I didn’t copy
  this to the list, since I included the screenshot.  I
