Re: [Qgis-user] Limiting File Choices

2016-07-17 Thread Nicolas Cadieux

Hi, 
An other option would be to use a file format that uses only a single 
file. I think spatialite could work. Another option could be to use 
a csv with WKT. This way, they could also open the text file in a text 
reader (like notepad) and actually see the content of the file. This way, 
you could also work more notions of geometry. 
I could help you with this. I was a trained elementary teacher in Ontario 
and Quebec before becoming a archaeological GIS guy! 
Cheers!

Re: [Qgis-user] Problems with ubuntu-unstable again (Bernd Vogelgesang)

2016-07-17 Thread Ben Hur Pintor

I (temporarily) commented out the repository from my sources list but kept
the ubuntugis-unstable ppa. I then removed QGIS from my system and
reinstalled using the unstable PPA (QGIS 2.14.3) with the usual sudo
apt-get install qgis.

I haven't checked yet if the repos with ubuntugis dependencies are working
again (for 2.16 and 2.14). Hopefully, they will be soon.

Ben Hur

[QGIS-it-user] QGIS 2.16 e il processing (Reticolo vettoriale)

2016-07-17 Thread Totò

Salve a tutti,
con la nuova versione di QGIS 2.16 il plugin FTOOLS è stato rimosso e tutti
i comandi e funzioni si trovano in strumenti processing (ottima cosa);
noto però che qualcosa manca, per esempio il 'Reticolo vettoriale' di Ftools
aveva molte opzioni mentre ora nel processing ne ha pochissime:
es: prima era possibile allineare il reticolo all'estensione e risoluzione
del raster, ora manca;
prima era possibile ruotare il reticolo ora manca;
ecc...

allego  screenshot
  

ciao

[Qgis-user] Limiting File Choices

2016-07-17 Thread Michael Jabot

I am working with elementary students in using QGIS to develop spatial
reasoning.

I have created .shp files for them to use but when they go to the folder to
add the .shp, all the supporting files are also present, so we are
struggling. Is there a way to set the settings so that only the .shp
appears as an option to them?

Thank you in advance for your help and I apologize if this is a silly
question

Hi Angelos,
thanx a lot for the hint. It works!

This is now indeed the third variation of a working setup in a row.
We already had to enable three repositories, then two, and now it's only  
one. Unfortunately the instructions on the download page never manage to  
reflect those changes.


Cheers

Hi Bernd,

This will get you to a working setup:
1. Please remove all previous installed versions with apt-get purge qgis
2. Enable only UbuntuGIS-Unstable and remove all other ppa's
3. apt-get install qgis.

This will get you QGIS 2.14.3. I have several reports that this works  
fine.

Re: [Qgis-user] Importing CSV files

2016-07-17 Thread Chris Crook

Hi Philip

As has been pointed out the problem is that the "numbers" in your file are not 
numbers, as the have a '%' character included.  The delimited text reader only 
handles things that look like numbers, and at the moment things like '5%' don't 
come into that category (this could be changed but at the moment it isn't built 
to recognize the percentage sign as part of a number).  So it reads these 
fields a text string fields.

In the case of your file though there is a workaround, which is to treat the 
percentage as part of the delimiter, and to use a regular expression to define 
the delimiter.  The attached screenshot shows the settings that you can use to 
read the file.  The important things to notice are the use of a regular 
expression as a delimiter and the expression used [\%\,]+, which translates as 
"any string of consecutive percentage signs or commas".

I'd agree that this is not even slightly obvious, but it does work!

Cheers
Chris

Thanks Werner and Richard for your help so far. I will have to pursue this 
tomorrow as it is late here in Australia.

I will respond tomorrow.

Find attached the working csv and csvt file - And remember - this csv is now 
NOT to be loaded with delimited text but rather as a "normal" vector layer.

Werner

I left the csvt file as "String", "Integer", "Integer", "Integer". I converted 
the percentages to numbers. It still didn't work. At Richard's suggestion, I 
converted the csv file to a text file and it worked. I can't understand why it 
didn't work with a CSV file. I am using QGIS Nodego. Thanks for your help, but 
I am still stumped about the csv file.

Hi Richard,

Surely QGIS is able to import it - but you forgot about that sentence in his 
first post:
"I have set up a csvt file with "String", "Integer", "Integer", "Integer" "

Using a csvt is sometimes very handy - but as already written "86%" is 
unfortunately no integer ;)

regards
Werner

Phillip,
I have copied out what you sent, paste it into notepad and saved it as a txt 
file. I then imported it into QGIS using Add delimited Text Layer, making sure 
to select Custom delimiters, and selecting Semicolon.
One other thing I done was select No geometry.
This has worked perfectly see attribute table below

[cid:part1.00080202.07000508@opw.ie]

I hope the above settings work, I am running QGIS 2.14 by the way, shouldn't 
make a difference though.
Regards,

Richard.

Richard,

I am using Add delimited Text Layer.

Here is a snippet of the data.

LGA_NAME;Non-Indigenous;Aboriginal;Torres Strait Islander
Albury (C);93%;2%;0%
Armidale Dumaresq (A);88%;6%;0%
Ashfield (A);93%;1%;0%
Auburn (C);93%;1%;0%
Ballina (A);93%;3%;0%
Balranald (A);87%;6%;0%
Bankstown (C);94%;1%;0%
Bathurst Regional (A);91%;4%;0%

I had the data separated by commas, but changed it to semi-colons. Neither 
worked. I also change the date to numerical format as in .93. That didn't work 
either.

Phillip,
Can you supply a sample of the data, also what version are you running of QGIS.
The other thing is are you using Add delimited Text Layer or are you just 
loading the CSV directly?
Regards,

Richard.

I have a CSV file with four columns. The first column is text, and the 
succeeding columns are percentages. I have set up a csvt file with "String", 
"Integer", "Integer", "Integer" When I import the file into QGIS as a delimited 
text layer, QGIS strips out all the percentages. They come in as null values. I 
have tried a lot of things, but can't get past this.

For example, I have tried converting the percentages to numbers and bringing 
them in that way; same thing happens.

I would appreciate any help.
