[Qgis-user] rephrased;. import 3D line into a shapefile?

2009-03-18 Thread mtnbiketrail
Okay, let me rephrase the question. I did look at ogr2ogr, csv file import. I have a 3D line, but only the beginning vertex has x,y,z. The line is a survey of a cave, so only the entrance has a latitude, longitude, and z coordinate. The rest are relative to the control point. Any suggestions

Greetings list, I just installed Kore. Previously, I was running Metis with a handful of plug-ins. When I installed using osgeo4w-setup.exe (I'm using Windows.), I used the advanced options and selected to also install the python-qgis: Python Plugin and bindings for Quantum GIS. However,

Although, this approach can be problematic if white is important for properly displaying the map information. E.g., USGS topographic maps use a white background for the map and a white collar. My solution was to hand select the collar in Gimp, make it a unique color (magenta or something),

I realize this goes into other software on a qgis list, but I wonder with GDAL or GRASS one can accomplish this. It is really a raster clip that would work well, especially if the next step is mosaic'ing the rasters. Are these quad maps? Mark On Mar 18, 2009, at 3:28 PM, John C. Tull

You could create a polygon in qgis (or some automated way), find an unused pixel value in the chart, and then use gdal_rasterize -i to burn it into the collar area. You can then use that as the transparency value. On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 3:32 PM, Chris h chris...@magma.ca wrote: On Wednesday

Tom, You have laid out an interesting (fun) problem. I don't have a solution for you, but a few thoughts on how I would approach it. 1. I am not sure how you want to display the 3D shape in QGIS. If you are just going to symbolize the depth by coloring the line segments, you could get by with

This sounds like a classic survey problem. Tools that deal with this are often called COGO (I don't remember what that means) While many tools and algorithms exist for doing distance and bearing, which will allow to you plot changes in x,y of whatever plane you're working in, the z value would
