Re: [Qgis-user] Geological Map Symbols Continued

[Lester Anderson]

Hi Grant,

Have a look at Stefan Revets port of the USGS symbology, works well in QGIS.

Cheers

Re: [Qgis-user] Geological Map Symbols Continued

[gene]

The solution we were using was a True Type font (Font marker symbol) with
geological symbols (as ArcGIS with the geology ttf symbols). We cannot use
directly this ESRI police ( FAQ: What are the applicable copyright
restrictions on Esri fonts?"
  ) but
it is relatively easy to create a new True Type Font with geological symbols
with  FontForge   . You draw the symbols
with a classical interface 


 

and you generate the True Type Font (look at  QGIS and fonts as symbols, use
and creation with FontForge

 
, in French but the figures are universal). You can even copy/paste a SVG
symbol as a new character of the font or export a character to a SVG file .
You can change the color and the size of a character without problem and it
is easy to distribute

Fairly sure I used to convert those in Manifold. But that's on one of those old 
Windows machines at the office. Don't have any at home - but if your stuck on 
Monday I have an interest in geological symbols as well and could convert them.

[Qgis-user] [OT] Municipal open data sources

[h]

Hi,
This is off topic, but I am hoping someone here can help.  Some time
ago I found a web site that collated and hosted open data from
municipalities.
I remember things like trees, garbage collection areas and street
bollards being layers provided.
I was interested in Australian councils but the site was global.

I can no longer find the website.  Does anyone know of a website that
makes such information available?

With thanks,
Hugh

Re: [Qgis-user] How to cite QGIS?

[Alexandre Neto]

Hi,

I'm not of a big help in terms of how should you cite QGIS,  but notice
that you have the users manual as html (web page) and PDF (documents). So
you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

Best regards,
Alexandre

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi,

Maybe you can find some inspiration in these GRASS based solutions:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2009-March/049428.html

https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2012-June/064839.html

Either Processing or the GRASS plugin might provide you with the required tools…

What is the level of interest in other geological tools?  I would very much

For example, I have run simple drill sections as “projections” with the data

Any other interest in this?  Should we be more formalizing a project?

Coming from the field of archaeology, those sound like tools we'd find useful 
too. My current client is paying me to work on QGIS tools for site survey and 
recording, and having ways to integrate the geophysics, geoarchaeology, 
borehole data, etc without writing it all myself would be useful.
Possibly related are Midvatten [1] and other hydrological plugins [2] which 
I've just started looking at for a borehole survey project we may be working on

Of course, having full 3D support within QGIS would make this sort of thing a 
lot easier rather than re-projecting everything in 2D plan view or exporting 
it, but we're getting there :-)

Ho,
The Tuscany Region has develope a full set of geologica symbol ad SVG and
all usabile in the qgis software.
They are all cc-by and are downloadable with him geologica database and a
qgis project.
Unfortunately the project need some settong to be used and the instructions
are in italian language.
But the SVG symbol of course are all usabile.
If you are interested i could send you a link to download from our internet

This brings down to the very long standing issue of having a style and
symbol repository, much as we have plugins. I'm convinced this would
greatly improve usability of QGIS, and collaboration among many more users.
Anyone willing to support this, either with code or sponsoring a
developer? In case, please write here, or contact QGIS-PSC.
All the best.

Re: [Qgis-user] Geological Symbols

[Randal Hale]

That was my first thought this morning - there are plugins. The devs 
work furiously to bring us quality software. I try my best to test and 
submit bugs and help


Maybe a thought would be symbology - ESRI is a symbol rich environment. 
I made mention on my blog at one point about QGIS and Symbology and that 
has been the top ranked hit on the blog for 2 years running.


How hard would it be to build a symbol repository: Geology. 
Transportation. National Parks. Standard symbols that people need in a 
less restrictive licensing environment? QGIs has a lot of symbols - 
maybe that could be expanded in a more constructive environment?

Re: [Qgis-user] General interest in geological support for QGIS?

[gene]

I am the author of the solution in Python for GRASS in the second link and we
have a paper awaiting publication in Rend. Online Soc. Geol. It., 
"Tools for structural geology analysis in QGIS" (Alberti, Laloux and
Zanieri), stereonets and rose diagrams (from the layer data), automatic
cross sections, down-plunge cross section, etc (in Python).
. 
For the representation of the boreholes in 3D, look at  Is there QGIS plugin
to allow 3d visualisation of geological borehole data similar to
functionality of Target for ArcGIS?   
with  matplotlib    or  Mayavi
   

Some geologists have also used the  Qgis2threejs
   plugin  ->  Use Qgis2threejs
plugin to create 3D visualisations of your stratigraphy data

Re: [Qgis-user] General interest in geological support for QGIS?

[Patty Rehn]

I am very interested in additional geologic support for QGIS. I have been
learning to use this great software for plotting geochemical data (my data-
Hg and soil pH) for geothermal exploration. I have ended up using TrueType
fonts for some symbols (strike and dip) and editing in GIMP for the other
items I could not find or work around.

I am trying to use Blender for drill hole (well data) plotting but have not
gotten anywhere, really. I attempted to use Midvatten but I am not enough
of a programmer to alter it, despite the cooperation of the author--still
learning how to use QGIS.

This list is quite helpful for some problems but I wish there was a
somewhat less sophisticated user list. The QGIS-USA list has helped with
some data plotting issues that were not of interest here.

I would like to be part of geology project/ support list but I lack the
skill to do much other than share the problems I have managed to solve
without python, etc.

Thanks for the geologic interest
Patty
