There is no such build target so consequently no such lib is built.

Re: [Qgis-user] An idea/wish for QGIS
Hi 2010/11/23 Jorge Tornero jorge.torn...@cd.ieo.es: Hi all, well, I've been experiencing lately with QGis diagram overlay feature and I have to say that is still not enough for what I need. Plots are not very customizable, adding categories is a matter of patience when you have a relatively large amount of fields to plot (in my case, in anchovy length distribution, about 25 of them) and normalization of the diagrams is a little confusing. Anyway, it is a big feature but unfortunately at last I have had to make my maps with gvSIG what really disappoints me because map tools in gvSIG are (for me) a little bit poor. But I'have been messing with qgis new simbology and I have found very interesting the option RULE BASED (I guess this is the correct translation for the spanish Basado en reglas). Because I can define individual marker for different values (based in that rules), I've done the following: 1) I've created an bar chart with matplotlib as I want it to be (scale, ticks..., colors) 2) I've saved it to a folder in my computer as SVG graphic, say so /home/Figures 3) I've created a soft link to that folder in /usr/local/share/qgis/svg Following this steps, what I get is the chance to choose my graph as the marker of my point and I have to say that is really, really cool for me because the look of the maps is great!! But there is one problem... You can choose the graph but you don't have any clue to tell which graph is what you want, because all you get in the dialog of selection are the thumbnails of the SVG's in that folder!!! So with, let's say 20 micro-pictures to choose is not very useful... So my idea/suggestion/wish is: To add to the symbol properties dialog the possibility of loading a concrete SVG as marker, apart from the list of default markers. It will not be a feature like automatic diagram overlay but I think it is a very simple improvement that provides a solution and eases the work of overlaying charts in maps (not only pie and bar charts) I don't really know if this is of any use for you but in my case, it has been the big prize in days, because I feared of having to say goodbye to Qgis until the diagram feature is improved. Also I apologize if what I've said is just a obviousness... Maybe this is a feature everybody knows and here I am thinking that I've discovered the Philosopher's stone... :) To summarise - you want the option to select an svg marker using a file dialog rather than choosing it from the icon list?

Hi QGIS developers and Users Last week we received an offer from kCube Consulting (http://www.kcubeconsulting.com/) to donate 6 months of developer time to our favourite Open Source GIS application - QGIS! Since we are an open community, we would like to extend to you all the opportunity to have your say about what would be the most beneficial use of this developer's time for the project. Perhaps there is something that prevents you using QGIS to get your daily work done? Perhaps you are a developer working on a large feature and need some dedicated help? Now is the time to have your say...visit http://www.qgis.org/wiki/KCube-developer to provide your inputs. Many thanks to kCube for their generous offer!

Would we only show the english UI, or would we have multiple images for multiple languages? I think we should try to avoid the problem in the first place. The image Alister provided did that in that it included no text. Qt does have the option of localization its qrc resource files but its not a good way to go as it will make the binary massive if we have to include 30 versions of each image.

Alister ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Alister from my understanding of it, even if there is a single layer, with layer levels turned on, QGIS tries to load all the features into memory first resulting in some overhead. I suspect in some situations this may actually render *quicker* (untested) but for large datasets where a lot of swapping out of ram to disk needs to happen, it could kill performance somewhat. The optimisation in this case may simply be 'if there is one layer level. render as if layer levels are disabled'. Martin may have further comments.

Re: [Qgis-user] Public Sector Mapping Agreement
Hi Andrew On Thu, Mar 3, 2011 at 9:54 PM, Andrew Chapman andrew.chap...@donkagen.co.uk wrote: Ordnance Survey is introducing their Public Sector Mapping Agreement for England and Wales as of 1 April 2011. This is a major change to their licensing and will provide free access to OS MasterMap and other layers to all public bodies, layers of local government (including the approximately 10,000 parish councils)... and also permit free sub-licensing to subcontractors. Directly and, indirectly, this could dramatically increase the number of potential users of QGIS. Details can be found at www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/business/sectors/government/publicpsmafaq s.html. I'm a member of a parish council, but am working with the county council (plus Environment Agency, Highways Agency, etc) in different areas looking at local community sourcing of GIS data, but especially relating to flooding. To encourage take-up for both GIS and QGIS, it may help if there were tutorials to take a new user of GIS through the steps to download data from Ordnance Survey (probably only in GZ format for the topology layers). To date I've been getting data as shapefiles - when I last tried (an earlier version) QGIS wouldn't load .gz and the support for .gml may have been incomplete. Is anyone else using Ordnance Survey .gz files directly? Would the best advice for users new to GIS be to convert to shapefiles or use a database (something I've not yet managed to do)? Are there any UK users involved with town or parish councils? Its nice to see OS are freeing *your* data up a little. QGIS has fairly good support for GML (via GDAL/OGR, the underlying library we use to read GML). If you encounter specific issues, please let us know via the bug tracker so that we can try to address them. It would be really nice to build a collection of standard symbology files for OS data. As of QGIS 1.7 you will be able to save and share your new symbology definitions and we are planning a web site to facilitiate such sharing more broadly.

Re: [Qgis-user] New user puzzled by GRASS Directory structure
Hi On Tue, Apr 5, 2011 at 2:40 PM, Wayne footh...@megalink.net wrote: I’m new to QGIS and the GRASS plug-in directory instructions. Here is my situation. I have forestry clients that are mostly in one county in the state. However I some times have a client in a different county. I have to create vector layers that are unique for each client. I get all my resource layers from the State either via WMS or downloading specific vector and raster layers and these would be used for each client work. Many of their layers are for the entire State not for just a part of the State (county). What would be the best way to set up the Location and Mapsets for this? Also, I see you need to define the Location bounds and you can use an existing layer to set the extent. If I have a mix of layers I will get from the State—some the entire State and some a section. Which layer is it better to choose for the Location bounds? I'm not a grass expert and the use of locations and mapsets is generally what most new users find most troubling I think. My suggestion would be to poll the grass users list on this, but if you are list averse. As a quick response, I would say that the location can simply follow your Coordinate Reference System requirements. Thus if your data falls within two UTM zones for example, create a location for each zone and load your forestry data into the location appropriate to the zone. Mapsets are just user working directories. GRASS harks back to multiuser environment UNIX servers and thus each user would have his own 'playpen' mapset to work in. Regards Tim I have used ArcView in the past so this GRASS Database system sure is confusing. Thanks for any help.

Now user have the choice to use 1.6 (missing new features, maybe needed) or 1.8 (more bugs) (at least at windows). Maybe it could be useful to split Development Branch into two parts. QGIS would be providing three Versions. Users could use a stable version, a relative stable Development Branch (1.7) while Developers are working on next Version at Nightly. Stable: nearly bug free, ?LTS? ^ | Solving Bugs | Development: No Blocking Bugs ^ | | Nightly: Place for new Features, Solving major Bugs regards thomas We've tried all these things and many other permutations. The releases of QGIS need to be tempered with the realities of life: we don't have the developers to maintain all these different things. I have agreed to maintain the 1.7 branch with backported bug fixes (for eventual 1.7.x releases) as trunk marches towards 2.0 and thats already eating into the time I would otherwise spend on development work. The same is true with other developers - none of us work full time on the project and we have to snatch hours to work on it here and there where we can.

[Qgis-user] Announcing the release of QGIS 1.7 'Wrocław'
We are very pleased to announce the release of QGIS 1.7.0, the next in our development release series. This release contains new features and extends the programmatic interface over QGIS 1.0.x and QGIS 1.6.0. As with any software, there may be bugs and issues that we were not able to fix in time for the release. We therefore recommend that you test this version before rolling it out en-masse to your users. You can find a list of hightlighted changes and new features listed on the detailed release announcement available here: http://qgis.org/component/content/article/127-qgis-1-7-release.html Binary and source code packages are available at: http://download.qgis.org If there is not yet a package for your platform on the above page, please check back regularly as packagers are still pushing out their work and they will update the download page to reflect the new packages. Along with the release of QGIS 1.7.0, the QGIS Community Team is hard at work on an updated QGIS Users' Guide version 1.7.0. The guide will be available in the near future - we will post announcements when it is available. QGIS is a completely volunteer driven project, and is the work of a dedicated team of developers, documenters and supporters. We extend our thanks and gratitude for the many, many hours people have contributed to make this release happen.

I was able to replicate the issue here on the release-1_7_0 branch with all backported fixes applied. Under master branch, it didnt even get as far as producing a snapshot.

Accompanying resources with photos of QGIS being applied in these projects and of situational state out in the field at the time of these events would also be awesome.

Perhaps some of the packages have actually been changed in the ubuntugis-unstable repository between the two upgrades?

I want to collect and store the position of 50 trouts tagged with radio transmitters directly in the field. What I did so far: I have to aim at the targets from different locations at the river bank. What I do now is simply draw lines on printed orthophotos. The fish is located where the lines intersect. It is always quite a mess to determine your own position. I could save the origin with a gps-device but this takes too much time, would include postprocessing and adding another step will increase the source of error. ... and it is not possible to walk into the stream ... I am thinking of using a tablet, locally store the orthophotos (5 to 8 pieces, format: .jp2, each around 130 MB) and save the points (e.g. postgis). All metadata could be entered at once. No paper work. I know where I am and can easily store, edit,.. fish data in the field. But I am bit worried about the performance. I takes about two til four minutes to load those raster-layers at my desktop (Ubuntu 12.04, 16GB Ram, QuadCore,...). The performance appears very poor. This is weird. I am not a specialist with raster formats but one of my aerial photos (geotif) 281 MB loads and displays within seconds, this is with pyramids (maybe you need to build these?) I even put some 50 of these photos into a GDAL virtual raster (VRT), it takes some 20 seconds to load but displays almost immediately. My machine is similar to yours hardwarewise (less RAM, though) running OpenSUSE 64 bit. I think the jp2 drivers are quite slow. A nice solution is to load your rasters into an mbtiles sqlite database - its not the best for size, but its very good for performance. Note it needs a recent (unreleased?) version of GDAL.. Otherwise convert your data to tiffs as Bernhard has done and optimise them for performace by e.g. creating pyramids. Regards Tim Bernhard What can I expect from a tablet solution?

Hi On Fri, Jul 13, 2012 at 4:23 PM, Stefan Keller sfkel...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all Thanks for the report, Andreas. Here's my two cents: First of all I am happy that the workshop was accepted by the AGIT team even though the deadline of the Call for Workshops was over. So next year I hope we come up earlier with a workshop submission. Actually I think that the next CfP will already weill be issued in december this year! As you may have realized is that the gvSIG user community even went a step further and organized a user meeting during the conference. Regarding the feedback to QGIS the most important issues already have been said. Being someone who teaches at university level using QGIS I only want to add following some specific issues which persistently come up from new users: First, some defaults configuration seem to be quite suboptimal and it would be easy to assign the task of an optimized default setting to some sort of user experience (UX) team. Second, the testing of the windows version often seems to be neglected or behind the hardcore linux committers. Third, the whole handling of the CRS seems to be suboptimal: I'm referring specifically to the layer CRS settings (accessed by the context menu in the layer list to the left). In the dialog there, there currently (1.7/1.8) is no clue which is the CRS which is currently active (or set). Finally, there are more than one modules, where there exists an old and a new implementation of the same functionality, like the labelling engine. At least for new users I would expect that the new functionality should be activated (maintainers of legacy applications should be experienced enough to switch and configure back since they have to test new QGIS version anyway).

I have been doing some trial runs. I use two systems: A MacBook Pro running OS X Lion 10.7.3. My Q-GIS is version 1.7.4 I have created (from a variety of sources) a set of layers of maps of the state of Karnataka (India). In my output, I wish to show, along with the other map elements: Lat/Long tics (rather than full lines or dots) -- if there is an option for this, how do I do it? I don't understand the above question -do you mean a grid overlay on the map that show lat/lon intersections? You can do this by choosing grid style to be crosses. A scale bar using Km as my units. This requires a projection to be set (CRS). I chose Kalianpur 1975 UTM zone 44N EPSG:24344 However, when I try to set the options for the grid in the composer, Q-GIS just hangs with the mac's rainbow wheel spinning endlessly (and psychedelically), leaving me with no option but to power the system off manually. This has happened *every* time (I have tried all manner of things ... 17 times ... same result). Probably you will need to share some sample data so that someone can test it. PC running Windows X, with about 1GB RAM. In the composer, I accidentally clicked the facility that gives me the various controls to design the map, the grid, scale bar, etc. How do I get it back? Right click any blank area of hte toolbar and tick the item properties box. If i get it back, perhaps I could try the projections at least there and see if it works. On both systems, I saved the work in the composer as I went along. It saved it as a QPT file. However, when I tried to pick up where I left off by opening the saved QPT file, nothing happened. I need to be able to use BOTH machines. So, I need answers to all of the above queries. You do understand that this is a community mailing list where people voluntarily share their time and expertise to help each other right? Making these kind of demands isn't going to motivate people to help you I thought I'd install the latest version, but the Readme file put the fear of whatnot in me by saying that once saved in the new version of Q-GIS, the projects will not work in the older version. Why not just make a copy of your file before testing with the newer version? Any help rendered in simple English (opensource help info is difficult for me to understand as i am also new to using open source software). :-) Its just like any other software except that the people who make it care more about intellectual freedom than proprietary vendors do Have fun!

Now that I already know how to get around pretty well with QGIS, I want to use it to production of series of maps (from a few dozens to hundreds at a time). My current problem is to make simple maps with graduated style and fixed classes for several different fields on the database. Looking at the PyQGIS documentation helped a bit, but I got several errors like NameError: name 'QtGui' is not defined and for many other names/libraries in the sample code I used, so I'm pretty sure that I have something missing that was not mentioned in the documentation or that I missed. Further, I'm interested in making maps with fields that are not in the database, so I need to make a join too (which is not mentioned anywhere in the documentation I saw). I would imagine that there is a way to open a project, change something (like the fields for the graduate rendenring), update the map composer and save the jpg, but I didn;t see anything like that... Did anybody face a situation like this? Any recomendations? Any sample code you could share? Here is a nice code sample of creating a complex map using QGIS 1.8 api. https://github.com/AIFDR/inasafe/blob/master/safe_qgis/map.py Also look at the source of the Atlas plugin.

On the qgis mailing list page there is a link to the german-speaking FOSSGIS-Talk-Liste - perhaps it would be sufficient to include a list to the osgeo spanish list ? Assuming there are enough Spanish 'power users' to make joining the list worthwhile then yes. You just need to put in a request on the osgeo sac location trac instance and ask Werner to add the list details to the Web site.

Virtually anybody working/learning GIS understands English and there are many advantages on keeping one single list, as the most difficult is to find time to answer questions. And there is the added value of exchanging opinions and ideas worldwide. Obviously this is not an obstacle for people wanting a separate list to do it. The number of spanish posts to the list would seem to suggest that there are at least some users out there who are not comfortable writing their messages in english. My opinion would be to go with a new list. Of course it is not mandatory and spanish speakers are welcome to participate in either or both lists.

Re: [Qgis-user] Proposal for QGIS-related blog
Hi On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 9:59 AM, Victor Olaya vola...@gmail.com wrote: For the main part of your proposal, are you thinking of something in the manner of www.r-bloggers.com? It's a really useful resource, with enough posts from enough varied sources to be really worth following. qgis.org/planet/ could fit the bill - with more content from more sites. Well, that is a rather big thing! I am not thinking of an aggregator, but more like a blog written by several people, with a common standard of quality and a common subject (In my case, as I said, i would like to incude tipstrick for QGIS, not just any QGIS-related news) I see it more like a book of chapters with different authors and an editor (in this case all contributors would be editors, but there will be some reviewing or some guidelines, etc) Spanish readers might be familiar with the amazings.es blog, which is the reference blog in terms of science in Spain, and which is written by a group of science bloggers that collaborate on this while they also write their own blogs. I was thinking about something like that... Thanks for the interest Sorry for th elate reply to this thread. We actually used to have blog.qgis.org where developers could (and did) write blog posts too. Its now defunct because we found it easier to write to our own blogs and use the aggregator. Personally I would like to strongly encourage to put any tutorial style articles into our QGIS-Documentation project as there are a number of advantages: - the articles can form part of formal training materials - the content can be maintained and updated to reflect new versions of QGIS/SEXTANTE - it will automatically become part of the translation framework - the information can become part of context help within QGIS in the future Of course this does not work well for casual 'ah look at this cool thing I did today' type posts, but it is really good for any more systematic documentation and tutorial materials. Regards Tim Regards Seems like the QGIS wiki needs serious editorial leadership and editing (and probably some search-engine optimisation) more than anything else; I personally find it horrible to use the Redmine system, too.

Hi On Fri, Apr 19, 2013 at 10:38 AM, Nathanael Boehm nbo...@purecaffeine.com wrote: Hi all, I only subscribed to this mailing list this morning so I'm a little late to the party here, but just want to contribute some of my knowledge on the subject to help you with selecting a logo. Whilst a designer, I'm not a graphic designer, so a) I'm not going to design you a logo; and b) I won't critique the existing logo options that are on the table. My speciality is in user experience design which covers everything from strategic product management and positioning through to usability, accessibility, instructional design and user testing of existing and prototype digital interfaces. Just a few points that I would like you to think about: 1. The logo should work in a square format which usually means taking the primary graphical device and having it stand on its own without the full label or tagline; in your case this means the Q. The square format will be used as the favicon and desktop app icon etc. From what I've seen so far, the options are all of the full landscape oriented logo — you need to see how they'll break down. 2. The app/project name needs to recognisable in the logo and preferably the QGIS needs to be discernible, but recognition will suffice. If you laid out a sheet with a bunch of competitor products' logos and your logo in front of someone and asked them to point to the logo for QGIS, you want to have a pretty good (perfect) success rate. 3. Think of sub-brands, alternatives and configurations of the logo. It would be nice if the base logo could be extended so that you can identify public vs development versions of the app, QGIS Desktop vs Browser (currently all three have the same logo). This could be achieved through changing the highlight colour, adding or modifying graphical devices etc. This is something that you want to ask the graphic designer to consider otherwise you run the risk of having to use the logo as is or clunkily bastardizing it for every variation you figure you need later. Thanks for your good insights - particularly #3 is good food for thought. Regards Tim Hope that helps.
