Re: [Qgis-user] user defined format for new bearing tool?

2021-11-03 Thread Richard Greenwood
Wow, that's a serious set of tools! I'm working in small areas with projected cartesian coordinates so geodesic distances with forward and back azimuths is a bit more than I was looking for. Beyond DMS, I need bearings in the quadrant format used in United States land description like the diagram

Richard, The Shape Tools plugin has a geodesic measure tool that in addition to distance, displays the bearing to and bearing from two points. Right now it just displays in decimal degrees, but it wouldn't

2021-11-03 Thread Pat Brown
Hi, I have a shapefile which consists of a grid (polygons), each of which is 1 quarter degree in extent. I would like to create a second coverage where each polygon is again subdivided into smaller polygons, each being 5 degrees by 5 degrees in extent. Essentially each degree square would

Hi Richard: It sounds like you are in the world of  manually georeferencing or ortho creation.   This would entail identifying ground control points for each image and processing. Assuming you do not need all 6000 images at one time, you could tag each image to its central location and then

Hi Richard, The Historic England aerial photography team have been working on a similar sort of project which they recently released (see https://historicengland.org.uk/whats-new/news/new-virtual-aerial-map-allows-everyone-to-explore-englands-archaeology-from-the-air/). Perhaps they might be able
