Re: [Qgis-user] v.transform Tool

2021-01-06 Thread Nicolas Cadieux
Hi, This is one of the things I normally do with AutoCAD. The tools in QGIS for this are just not as intuitive:( Anyways, the first thing I would do, just to test the tool, is to save the file in a local UTM zone or local CRS that is in meters. Currently, you are epsg 4326 and unit is degrees.

I have created a polygon shape file with CRS of EPSG:4326-WGS 84. I ran the v.transform Tool on this polygon by increasing the xscale to 1.5 and yscale to 1.5. I see a polygon generated. But, this is not falling on top of the original polygon. It is falling in completely in a different location i.e

For the moment you can use v.transform, eventually the scale tool once it is merged. Alex Le mer. 6 janv. 2021 à 14:52, krishna Ayyala a écrit : > I have a rectangle labeled A. Is there a tool in QGIS that can > proportionally reduce the size similar to rectangle B? > > Regards. > [image: ima

Re: [Qgis-user] Best practice, database vs WFS

2021-01-06 Thread Bernhard Ströbl
Hi, I want to add my 2 cents (all AFAIK): WFS is a standard for data exchange as has been pointed out by Alessandro already. The data are in an XML format (GML) which is _slow_ compared to data from a database for several reasons. QGIS downloads the complete layer as GML which, depending on th

Hello, Sorry if this gets posted twice I previously attached a .gpkg and it bounced due to the 100kb limit. I am enjoying this fascinating discussion. This is all fairly new to me so I looked some things up and want to make sure that I am getting things right, 1. In QGIS the $area function uses

Hi Alessandro, I guess the key is ease of data discovery. So if all your geodata is on one database then it is all easy enough but if you have multiple database types / instances then you are relying a lot on users being able to find the right database / instance and then having potentially dif

Hi, Not being a postgis user, I would try use_spheroid=False just to see if the parameters are taking into account. You could also change the epsg code to one that does not use the WGS84 ellipsoid to see if it changes. I have often played around with parameters just to find out the were skipp

Hi Paul, if you want to share geodata within your organization on a private network a database is the best solution: faster and simpler. The constraint is that you will need an application (like QGIS) to access your data.. WFS is a web service standard for interoperability, it is ideal for sharin

Hi, As I'm sure is clear from the number of posts I've done of late we are currently looking at how we use QGIS within our business. I thought I'd ask a question here to see if others are considering it as I can't find too much chat online about it but I wondered if perhaps there should be some
