[Qgis-user] Problems installing QGIS

2014-03-12 Thread Luis Miguel Royo Pérez

Hi everyone,

I have problems to install Qgis. It shows me this error below:

qgis:
 Depende: libgdal1h pero no va a ser instalado
 Depende: libgeos-c1 (=3.4.2) pero se va a instalar 3.3.8-2~saucy1
 Depende: libqgis2.2.0 pero no va a ser instalado
 Depende: qgis-providers pero no va a ser instalado

I tried to install libgdal1h, but Synaptic tell me is a broken package. 
I'm trying to install it in a Virtual Machine, Lubuntu 13.10. I haven't 
found any solution in the web.


Any ideas?

Thank You!!!

[Qgis-user] Mysterious coordinates (Italy)

2014-03-12 Thread Lynkos
Solve one mystery and another appears! This isn't really a QGIS issue, but
I'm wondering if there's someone out there who'd be willing to give me a
hand anyway.
I'm processing a series of data sheets of bird observations from volunteer
observers throughout Italy. We specify decimal degrees, WGS84 (UTM 33 o
32N), but as you can imagine, the coordinates come in all shapes and sizes
and trying to standardise them is a real challenge.
I'm having a particular problem trying to understand (and therefore
subsequently convert), the following group of coordinates:

N 3915.452  E 1655.732

N 3913.887  E 1655.653

N 3905.717  E 1703.311

N 3902.444  E 1701.229

N 3902.936  E 1701.405

N 3904.791  E 1654.796

N 3904.668  E 1652.784**

N 3906.065  E 1657.129

N 3905.403  E 1701.755

N 3909.825  E 1659.315

N 3909.479  E 1657.053

N 3912.038  E 1655.576

N 3912.436  E 1656.515

N 3911.025  E 1659.291

N 3911.148  E 1659.506

N 3911.347  E 1659.521

N 3911.824  E 1659.739



They should all fall in the province of Crotone in Calabria, Italy, but
nothing I've tried gets them there :-(.

To give an idea, the coordinates with an asterix (N 3904,668 - E
1652,784) should
fall in the vicinity of coordinates: N 391373746 - E 16,8745837
(Roccabernarda in the province of Crotone).

Thanks for any help, and my apologies if the answer is so simple a primary
school kid could get there :-(, Sarah.

Re: [Qgis-user] Functionality matrix

2014-03-12 Thread James Wood
Might I also add that it is hard to generalize software functionality because 
of licensing levels and implementation tiers. Can I create Voronoi (Thiessen) 
polygons within ArcMap? Yes and no. I can with an Advanced license, but not if 
I have Basic or Standard. I don't have to worry about that with QGIS. Does the 
Esri software platform allow connection to PostgreSQL databases? Yes and no. I 
have an Advanced level license of ArcGIS Desktop installed on my laptop, but 
because I do not have an Enterprise-level ArcSDE installation, I cannot access 
my PostgreSQL database. QGIS allows me direct access without the fuss. Need to 
perform a simple task like converting your polygons to lines? You'll need an 
Advanced Desktop license in the software that must not be named... but it is 
as simple as VectorGeometry ToolsPolygons to lines in QGIS (2.2). And, of 
course, depending on the desired result, there may not be a single tool within 
either software that gets you what you want. I have performed a lot of 
drive-time analysis for fire station ISO ratings, and right now, that's just 
easier in the Esri software, however I feel like improved support for that is 
on the horizon for QGIS along with some other more advanced analysis tasks. The 
easiest geocoder I ever used (for use with locally stored data) was in a 
previous version of MapInfo. There are strengths and weaknesses to go around, 
so instead of an overall matrix comparison, it might be more fruitful to look 
at your particular task-oriented functions and research those. In the end, you 
may find that a blending of different software is a best fit.
 
Best Regards,
James

[Qgis-user] QGIS-Server , define an alias for field name in identify

2014-03-12 Thread Andrea Peri
Hi,
Is possibile in a qgis project to define an alias for the field names of
the layers to obtain a better understandable for user when they do an
identify ?

Hi hope that this will have a retrun also on the response at a
GetFeatureInfo request in qgis-server.

Actually qgis-server in a getfeatureinfo request return the exact
field-name as available in the shapefile.
They often are un-understandabel for a standard user.

This is less important on qgis desktop because qgis desktop is for a power
user, but a qgis-server is for give a service to an home-user that more
probably nothing know of the shapefile and its field names.

Thx,

Re: [Qgis-user] Mysterious coordinates (Italy)

2014-03-12 Thread Mike Shand

Hi Sarah,

I think what you may have for (N 3904,668 - E 1652,784) is actually 
degrees, minutes and decimal minutes:

N 39d 04min .668dec min (or 40.08sec [.668*60]) = N 39d 04min 40.08 sec
E 16d 52min .784 dec min (or 47.04sec [.784*60]) = N 16d 52min 47.04 sec
or in decimal degrees
N 39.0778
E 16.879733
This puts the point about 7km south of Roccabernarda.

In the UK and US a dot is usually the decimal point, in Europe a comma 
is often the decimal point.


Regards,
Mike

 should fall in the vicinity of coordinates: N 391373746 - E 16,8745837 
(Roccabernarda in the province of Crotone).

Hi Luis Miguel


Open Synaptic and look for QGIS, then deinstall all related packages:
probably you have some one that are causing versioning conflicts.

After that, update and then install QGIS. Some times I've had this issue

Good luck!

QGIS warns me that a older version project is going to be opened, but
crashes during the reading of the layers. The same file still opens in
2.0.1 without problems.

Is there any known issues of lower versions compatibility? Any workarounds?

[Qgis-user] QGIS VALMIERA doesn't open project file by double clicking

2014-03-12 Thread sit

Hy,
I've installed Valmiera and it works very good; but it doesn't recognize the 
icons and the extension .qgs and doesn't open the project; it also open a 
window in which write that it can't find qgis_core.dll.
I can open project only by using open Project, starting the program!
someone can help me?
I've installed it two times but I haven't any success.

Re: [Qgis-user] Functionality matrix

2014-03-12 Thread Alex Mandel
I tend to break it down at the Macro level when trying to explain the
comparability.

See pg 17
http://www.scribd.com/doc/172165387/Introduction-to-Geospatial-The-open-source-method
Notice I don't ever expect a 1:1, part of the key is understanding that
open source is a collection of software together under various names,
where other well known software is a behemoth under one name but is
really a bunch of separately developed parts too.


In reality the number of primitives in geospatial is actually not that
large, it's the remixing combinations of how you apply the ideas that
turns into the thousands of functions listed. There is a way to do most
things in any system, some of them are one-click and some of them are
complicating chaining of simpler steps.

If you are specifically trying to transition and need to know how to do
the equivalent... then the key is to figure out what the common term is
for the process not the software specific word they picked. For that
Internet search engines crawling nabble, stackexchange, various blogs
seems to find most answers. Last resort ask on the mailing list or IRC
and explain what you are trying to do (not what software Y calls it) and
someone is likely to know a way.


Thanks,
Alex

 Might I also add that it is hard to generalize software functionality because 
 of licensing levels and implementation tiers. Can I create Voronoi (Thiessen) 
 polygons within ArcMap? Yes and no. I can with an Advanced license, but not 
 if I have Basic or Standard. I don't have to worry about that with QGIS. Does 
 the Esri software platform allow connection to PostgreSQL databases? Yes and 
 no. I have an Advanced level license of ArcGIS Desktop installed on my 
 laptop, but because I do not have an Enterprise-level ArcSDE installation, I 
 cannot access my PostgreSQL database. QGIS allows me direct access without 
 the fuss. Need to perform a simple task like converting your polygons to 
 lines? You'll need an Advanced Desktop license in the software that must not 
 be named... but it is as simple as VectorGeometry ToolsPolygons to lines 
 in QGIS (2.2). And, of course, depending on the desired result, there may not 
 be a single tool within either software that gets you what you want. I have 
 perfo
 r
med a lot of drive-time analysis for fire station ISO ratings, and right now, 
that's just easier in the Esri software, however I feel like improved support 
for that is on the horizon for QGIS along with some other more advanced 
analysis tasks. The easiest geocoder I ever used (for use with locally stored 
data) was in a previous version of MapInfo. There are strengths and weaknesses 
to go around, so instead of an overall matrix comparison, it might be more 
fruitful to look at your particular task-oriented functions and research those. 
In the end, you may find that a blending of different software is a best fit.
  
 Best Regards,
 James

 Beware: functionality matrices sond good, but for complex programs are 
 essentially
 unfeasible, unless one has months to dedicate to this effort. QGIS in 
 particular is a
 fast moving target, as we are implementin g new functions very rapidly, so 
 existing
 matrices are incomplete _and_ obsolete.
 All the best.

It might be that your installation broke at some stage.

Please have a look at postinstall.log (standalone) or 
C:\OSGeo4W\var\log\setup.log.full for any error messages.


If you installed the 64bit version, try the 32bit. It might be that your 
PATH variable exceeds 1024 charcters, which then needs some cleaning to 
get QGIS running.


HTH,
André Joost
