Hi Yesterday I added a 'tip of the day' type dialog that appears when QGIS starts. You have probably have seen a similar feature in other applications. And no, before you ask, we are not going to implement a 'Mr. Paperclip' function next :-). Right now the tip list is rather basic so I would like to invite everyone to submit your favourite little tips for QGIS. Here are some guidelines: - The tip should have a short title - The tip content should be short - one or two paragraphs - Simple HTML formatting can be used for the tip, including links, lists etc. - Tips should be broadly useful and perhaps reveal functionality that users may have otherwise overlooked. Here is an example submission: Title: Quick access to project properties Content: You can quickly access the project properties dialog by clicking on the icon in the bottom right corner of the window in the status bar area. If you are a developer, you can add tips directly to src/app/qgstipfactory.cpp - it should be self explanatory what to do when you look at the source.

[Qgis-developer] New Symbology / OSM/ ICONS
Thanks for the suggestion Martin! Icons are available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?344x43313q3xx8n They are meant to be used with the tutorial here: http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Using_OpenStreetMap_data I was hoping to find something without restrictions and if possible dedicated to open source material. I could not find it here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_map_symbol_set There is http://www.openclipart.org (which supports multiple uploads, collections and packages) but I cannot upload a zipped file, hence I cannot reproduce the folder structure required for qgis to find the right files. So I've put the icons I'm using on mediafire: osm_icons4qgis_v1.zip (If I do not login often enough, this might be destroyed). All the icons that either SJJB or myself created are copyright free (CC-0). I do not know the status of the others (mostly, the others are preinstalled with qgis).

The layer is rendered several times faster if you set border style to no pen. This has no noticeable effect in my case. I made my own tests: on trunk with a big 600mb (43000 features) polygon shapefile, the vector opens in 32 seconds (new symbology, with borders, anti-aliasing disabled). After saving a style with no borders the shape opens in 15/16 seconds. The problems remain in both cases when zooming/panning as there is always a bigdelay and in between the program freezes (under Linux). Opening the attribute table or toggling editing or selecting polygons is a real pain. The clear direction is to merge threading branch to trunk. It contains some optimizations for rendering, plus it does not freeze while rendering and continuously updates the map. So even when working with huge layers, it's possible to see how rendering continues and zoom/pan to desired region of interest without having to wait until rendering of the last map finished. Any idea about when it will be merged? Anyone working on this? What performance gain would you expect with threading? I tested everything again after having compiled the threading branch. The result is *much* better (with or without borders) when opening the shape and panning/zooming, and looking at the way the geomteries are painted in the canvas it seems to me that is the same approach used in gvsig. Editing/selecting is still painful (also in gvsig...). Cheers -- Giovanni -- ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

Re: [Qgis-developer] slowness reading shp
Hi, Just a quick note that 'big' for a shapefile could be in any of three dimensions: 1: Lots of features 2: Lots of points in each polygon or line feature 3: Lots of attribute data in the .dbf Now, #3 shouldn't affect shapefile rendering speed (but will have on loading speed)/ #1 and #2 will affect the speed but in possibly completely different areas of the code. the shape I used seems quite big in all three ways. In any case the threading branch seems the right direction at least for rendering the geometries. Editing that huge datasets can another problem, but qgis does not seems to be the only one with this issue: of gvsig I have already told, kosmo renders the vector more or less the same speed of gvsig/qgis threading but then chokes when editing. uDig is super fast rendering the vector but then again chokes when editing. here the vector http://www.iucnredlist.org/spatial-data/MAMMALS_TERRESTRIAL.zip cheers -- Giovanni -- ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

I slapped together a quick plugin that adds an IPython-based console to QGIS. The code is available at: https://github.com/Sharpie/qgis-ipython To use it, you will need to install ZeroMQ, pyzmq, pygments and the dev version of IPython from: https://github.com/ipython/ipython Generally the best / easiest way how to make your code available for testing for others is to upload the plugin at pyqgis.org to the contributed repository. Requiring development version of ipython would be however a show stopper for most users... I would love to see a finished plugin eventually released to PyQGIS. However, the code is currently little more than a proof-of-concept prototype and is also based on a development version of IPython, so I didn't feel like a public release on PyQGIS was appropriate at this time. The console fires up allright, but unfortunately very, very, very slow. There is about ~1-2 seconds of lag between invoking a command and receiving a response. For comparison, I threw together a minimal PyQGIS application that also uses the IPython console: https://gist.github.com/817914 The PyQGIS version is very snappy and there is no lag. I suspect the difference is due to the PyQt widget is talking to an external IPython process through ZeroMQ. When a command is executed, the console sends a message and then a Python thread waits for the response. With PyQGIS, Python is controlling the execution of the entire application. However, when the console is used as a plugin it is running in an embedded interpreter and it looks like QGIS takes a while to schedule the execution of the Python threads. Does anyone have any suggestions for solving or working around this issue? An interesting issue. Why do you think that IPython uses another process? The interesting thing about IPython is that in addition to being a really nice Python shell it is also a framework for parallel and distributed computing. The 0.11 series splits the interpreter into a separate process using ZMQ so that a single console could dispatch jobs to several independent interpreters and those interpreters could be running on entirely different machines. When this framework matures, it could open up some really interesting possibilities for dispatching computationally intensive operations from QGIS. Running the console in another process would disable the communication between QGIS interface and the console - and that is not really wanted. At the moment, my main interest in getting IPython into QGIS is so that it can help me develop Python plugins. The existing Python console is very nice, but I keep tapping the tab key in vain whenever I forget what attributes an object has. Currently I am working on an IPython kernel that does not run in a separate process so it can access objects like `qgis.utils.iface`. Progress is slow, but promising. However, it would also be nice to leave the option of spawning out-of-process shells for computationally intensive jobs. Maybe you could try to run that code in a profiler to find out where is the bottleneck. Martin I have given this a couple of tries. Unfortunately I don't have much experience using profilers so I wasn't able to learn much. I think the question I need to answer is: Is the delivery of messages being delayed by the QGIS C++ code, the Python interpreter or the ZMQ event loop? At this point it *seems* too have something to do with the C++ code as everything runs fine in a pure PyQGIS app. Some tools I know about that I have access to are gprof, dtrace and valgrind---is there one that you would suggest as being particularly suited to this task? Do I need to recompile QGIS with some special flags? -Charlie ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
