[Qgis-user] Question on Installing a newer version of QGIS

2014-11-02 Thread Leahy, Thomas A.
Hello, I wasn't sure whether the new version 2.6 would install over my old version 2.4 or next to it. It turns out it installs next to it and I still have 2.4 installed. When I am happy with 2.6 can I just uninstall 2.4 or will I need to reinstall 2.6 after uninstalling ver 2.4?

Hello, Actually I am asking what is the preferred way to upgrade from 2.4 to 2.6? Uninstall 2.4 first? Would that cause me to loose settings? (Like location of Projects if changed from the default?) Regards, Tom From: Nadarajah Thirugnanasothy

If you're using the stand-alone installers (and it sounds like you are) then all the things than QGIS needs (GRASS included) are in the folder for that version. So there isn't really a preferred way. Uninstall first or later, up to you. The only major gotchas are: 1. The project files, as no

[Qgis-user] QGIS 32 or 64-bit

2014-11-02 Thread Lester Anderson
Hi all, Rather basic query, but is there a real advantage of the 64-bit version over 32-bit when on say Windows 7/8 ? I use QGIS at home and work, and have readily had multiple copies of QGIS running for separate projects and not seen any real problems (subject to memory on the system of course).

[Qgis-user] QGIS 2.6 projected graticules

Hi all, Still no built-in option in the composer for projected map graticules (eg Polar stereographic, Lambert conformal etc). Still limited to linear systems. Will this ever be implemented in QGIS, or is there a plugin that will create projected map graticules for all projections (to display

Hi all Part of the solution (or workaround) is to use the Vector -Research Tools - Vector Grid option This gives the lines reasonably well when projected, but the nodes need to be increased (densified) to give the curved latitudes etc. Does this sound reasonable? Still have to label manually

We should be clear in this conversation, all of these recommendations apply to Windows only and may apply to the current version as later versions might remove the remaining barriers to full 64 bit for everyone. Linux - there's no reason to use 32 bit. Mac - I'm not sure what the builds typically

Hi all, Essentially what I was thinking of is an option within the grid definition in the map composer window, such that one can define the graticule spacing (Longitude and Latitude) and the program takes the CRS and draws the lines according to the project projection. Using the concept from
