Re: [QGIS-Developer] [Qgis-user] Handling a large number of raster layers with Qgis architectural limitations

2019-11-27 Thread Falk Huettmann
Dear Colleagues, Patrick, thanks, this is a VERY relevant issue, and might be the future concept for GIS, of sorts (=more data volumes). While I have no direct answer to your architecture question (sorry), I have a sample dataset and application on the topic and can share it with people as they se

Hello, the issue is not with the performance drawing the raster, it is with the system only being able to have a certain number of file based rasters loaded in a project before it will crash. On 22/11/19 11:08 AM, Alexandre Neto wrote: AFAIK, WMST creates pyramids in cache as needed, hence

AFAIK, WMST creates pyramids in cache as needed, hence it may do a better balance between disk usage and performance. You can control the number of pyramid layers you create and the compression format of it to save some space. But having raster files with 4000x4000 pixels with no pyramids will mak

Building pyramids gobbles up heaps of disk space. I tried pyramids on 157 MB layer, which created an extra file 1.6 GiB. I can't see the WMTS building lots of temporary file pyramids using up disk On 18/11/19 10:50 PM, Alexandre Neto wrote: Hi Patrick, Sorry for asking, did you create pyramid

Hi Patrick, Sorry for asking, did you create pyramids (overlays) for your raster "tiles"? See more information about pyramids on QGIS official documentation: https://docs.qgis.org/3.4/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_raster/raster_properties.html#pyramids-properties To create pyramids on many f
