[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: adding scalebar to images to be downloaded
I see that MapServer has the scalebar utility which can be used in command line to generate a scalebar graphic. so I think problem solved. If someone knows of other tools please let me know. thanks, Pere 2009/6/5 pere roca ristol pero...@gmail.com hi all, I have a webmapping application that generates map images to download in different formats and resolutions, with the legend and so on. You can see it in http://edit.csic.es/geo/mapviewer/edit.html or some videos http://edit.csic.es/edit_info/edit_videos.html I wonder how I can add a scalebar to the image to be downloaded? as the images to download (ImageMagick) are processed in PHP it should be a server-side solution. some idea? thanks!

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: adding scalebar to images to be downloaded
If you use MapServer to generate the map image, you can directly embed the scalebar in the map image at the time of creation. If not, you can just make a mode=legend call to MapServer CGI to get a legend image. http://mapserver.org/mapfile/legend.html David. -Original Message- From: discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of pere roca ristol Sent: Monday, June 08, 2009 3:38 AM To: discuss@lists.osgeo.org Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: adding scalebar to images to be downloaded I see that MapServer has the scalebar utility which can be used in command line to generate a scalebar graphic. so I think problem solved.

[OSGeo-Discuss] foss4g2009 abstract submit
I need a small info about the submission mechanism for the foss4g abstract submission. I find no proper way to supply more authors and institutions for a submission.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Info about OSGEO community and OS GIS products
Hello to everybody, I need some info about OSGEO community and OS GIS products: 1 - Do specific OS GIS products for telco applications exist? 2 - Do you know some community meetings about OS GIS products for telco applications? 3 - How concurrency is generally managed? For example, if two or more users use a QGIS application running on PostGIS instance, how concurrency is managed? ESRI products use Versioning. 4 - Does any catalogue exist? In other words, do exist any tool for defining some kind of objects, symbols and relationships between ones? 5 - Does any product for user authentication and user role definition exist? 6 - Are OS GIS product completely license free? Thank you so much for your supprt. Regards, Sossio ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[OSGeo-Discuss] Desktop metadata management for FOSS4G
Ahh.. Metadata I am learning about Qgis plugins lately and thought I would extend out to the OSGEO community at large. As I am going through creating some plugins and learning about OWS services and trying my hand at a catalogue plugin for QGIS I got to thinking, what does the open source world do for managing their metadata on their desktop? I know and quite like projects like geo-network and our own flavour at http://geodiscover.cgdi.ca/ but I am curious as to what people use for their desktop. Back when FGDC was the spec of choice I used MP (metadata Parser) quite extensively http://geology.usgs.gov/tools/metadata/tools/doc/mp.html but with the new world of ISO and the upcoming NAP (North American Profile) I wonder what people are doing now. Would a lean desktop editor help people in their workflow. Essentialy maintaining their metadata on the desktop then exporting (through valid XML) to publishing facilities such as geonetwork.. The idea is to couple data and metadata while people are working with the data. Are people working on this? Do open source solutions already exist? Would a plugin for QGIS be useful? Or a desktop app that can hit many softwares like GRASS, QGIS and others? Thoughts? Cheers ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Here's the sourceforge site for the plugin I started http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/qgismetaedit/ Contributions are welcome, the big thing on the table is we need to swap out the XML parser to allow for better character handling and saving. I've already picked out Elementree as the tool and started a branch but won't have time to work on it for another week or two.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Desktop metadata management for FOSS4G
Yes. For us, this would help our work flow. A plugin for Quantum would work great. (I also just read Alex's email about qgismetaedit. Cool!) It would be great for a desktop GIS to update some basic metadata elements, like updated date, coordinate system, bounding box in projected and geo coordinates, and maybe a couple of others. Personally, I don't care about things like listing all columns/data types of a vector attribute table, or listing processing steps, or embedding an thumbnail image. Sometimes they're nice but often just bloat. Currently, we use GeoNetwork to manually edit metadata in our public repository and then save it locally as an XML file to include some with direct downloads. If we could reverse the process (create locally on desktop and save as XML, TXT, etc.., then push up to GeoNetwork), and at the same time have some basic fields updated automatically, that would help. - John ** John Callahan Geospatial Application Developer Delaware Geological Survey, University of Delaware 227 Academy St, Newark DE 19716-7501 Tel: (302) 831-3584 Email: john.calla...@udel.edu http://www.dgs.udel.edu ** Sampson, David wrote: Ahh..

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Desktop metadata management for FOSS4G
The plugin aims to allow for ISO, FGDC and Dublin Core editing and saving to xml per the standard that CatMdEdit, ArcGIS, Geonetwork etc all use XML. Someone did file a ticket to add Geonetwork export, I'd welcome anyone from the Geonetwork side helping out with that. Auto, or Triggered updating fields is definitely within the realm of functionality and it may be possible at some point to run the plugin independent of QGIS. All contributions,coders, tickets, etc are welcome. Alex John Callahan wrote: Yes. For us, this would help our work flow. A plugin for Quantum would work great.
