Nicholas,

The KML Tools plugin will convert embedded images in the KMZ to GeoTiffs. It 
doesn’t handle html links. I don’t know if this will help or not.

[Qgis-user] .kml to tiff?

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

I have received a series of raster in the kml format. They look good in Google 
Earth but either appear horrible in QGIS (blocky with low resolution) or don’t 
appear at all. (Come to think of it, could this be a reprojection issue as my 
project is not in pseudo merc??? Will test!)   Any others tips on importing 
them or is there a way to export them to a georeferenced.tiff? Can the image be 
extracted from the kml?  At least a few of the file have the raster imbedded, 
some, I think, just point to the raster file.  Is there a way to check this?

Re: [Qgis-user] two items for help

[Thayer Young]

 Hi Byron,
With respect to snapping, there are several types of snapping that can be 
enabled, e.g. vertex, segment, etc., you also need to make sure that snapping 
is set for the layer you are trying to snap to. When digitizing I like to use 
the Snapping Toolbar (View: Toolbars: Snapping Toolbar) instead of the 
preferences. The left/topmost icon in the toolbar is "Enable Snapping" (a red 
bar magnet with white tips), make sure it is on when you try to snap, you 
should then see magenta squares when hovering over vertices and "x"s over 
segments, etc.. If you do not see these then check the layer snapping settings 
using the second icon from the left or top in the toolbar.  With respect to 
making contours, you can make a DEM from points using any of the many different 
interpolation tools from the different providers available in QGIS. Then from 
the DEM you can make contours. A good place to start is with one of the GDAL 
Grid tools (Raster:Analysis:Grid there are 4 of them), 
https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/user_manual/processing_algs/gdal/rasteranalysis.html#gdalgridaverage
Why are there so many different Grid tools? You may want to read this about 
GDAL which QGIS is using for this:https://gdal.org/tutorials/gdal_grid_tut.html
After you get a DEM that you like convert it to contours using 
Raster:Extraction:Contour, or just change the symbology of the raster 
Note that you may also want to try the GRASS tools to do the same thing.

First, in settings, options, digitizing:  i have clicked on 'enable
snapping by default.'  when i am digitizing polygons, the snapping does not
seem to be engaged.  i have set the snapping tolerance to 13 pixels.  does
anyone know why the snapping does not work?  i assume that these are the
correct settings for snapping to polygons.

second.  i have imported several elevation model files into qgis.  they
come in as x,y,z, elevation points.  the original files are of the type:
GDBINDEXES, GDBTABLE FILE, GDBTABLX, and SPX.  can someone help me with a
workflow for gridding and contouring these elevation files so that they
look like either a contoured topo map or density contoured DEM.

You can do this built in processing tools by interpolating the points.
Here’s the workflow

[Qgis-user] Crashing with snapping and WFS !?

[Lars I. Nielsen]

Hi list.

We're running a dataset via WFS (Geoserver 2.16) into QGIS.
The user has snap turned on while digitizing/editing, and too often this combo 
results in QGIS crashing.

However, this crash does not happen when digitizing/editing, but during other 
operations like panning the map or something similar.

The stack dump mentions "snapPoint", "snapToMap", "nearestVertex", and 
"closestVertex", which to me implies the snapping function in action.
It also mentions "canvasMoveEvent", which to me implies a panning operation.

I expect the snapping operation to be entirely local, i.e. independent of 
actual data source type, but this apparently only happens when using a WFS data 
source.

Can anyone shed some light on this unexpected behavior ? Is it a bug ?

Here's the crash dialog box:
[cid:image001.jpg@01D7C1B8.021A24D0]

QGIS is version 3.16.10, as the stack dump shows.

[Qgis-user] Add icon to "Manage Layers Toolbar"

[Roland Spielhofer]

Hi,

i am working with point clouds a lot lately and I am missing a button/icon to add a point cloud layer in the "Manage Layer Toolbar".

Is there a way to add a dedicated icon for that to the toolbar?

Depending on your needs, you can also use the dimensioning style instead.

way you prepare your coverage layer to iterate over the items. Check

*Von:* "Zoltan" 
*An:* "qgis-user" 
*Betreff:* [Qgis-user] QGIS Atlas gymnastics
Hi,
I wonder if someone can confirm if below is possible or not, using
the Atlas facilities  QGIS 3.20.3 in WIndows 10.

Two issues, the second relying on the first.
*#1 Variable size Map Item.*
I would like to vary the size of the Map Item window, depending on
the zoom window of the Atlas page.
I can set the "Position and Size" using an Expression or an
attribute Field, but this seems to be fixed rather than dynamic
ie: Is it possible to have Expression and/or Field values dynamic
per Atlas coverage page?

*#2 Multiple Sub-maps per MapSheet.*
Is it possible to have an Atlas page layout such that (say) in the
top half of the page you have your zoomed map (as in #1 above) and
in the bottom half of that sheet-page you place n-mapboxes  as
insets predefined as n-AOI rectangles inside the zoom-window in
the top of this MapPage?

*A practical example/use would be:*
Say you are doing an aerial analysis of a stretch of river and you
have identified areas of interest by placing oriented rectangles
around them.
You now want to show an overview of segments of the river, and
then a zoom-in to each identified AOI rectangle to show larger
scale prints below this river segment.

*Method could/would be to:*

Using the width of your intended page size, calculate the
length of river you can fit across 1 page of your Atlas. Let's
assume 1Km
Now a river meanders so you cannot run down the polyline
depicting the river, you need to rotate and cut the river to
the width of your atlas page.
This means your atlas Map-Item width will be constant, but the
height, due to curvatures in the river, will vary.
Once you have your oriented MBRs calculated along the river,
you can use these as your Atlas Coverage layer.
To show this with optimal page-area usage, you would need the
Atlas facility I describe in *#1 above*.

Now, along the river you will have pre-placed your oriented
AOI rectangles.
These will be much smaller rectangles than the 1Km
river-length Atlas Coverage rectangles.
Now, for each AOI rectangle inside the current 1Km coverage
rectangle, I want to show a larger scale image below the
current coverage rectangle.
If*#2 above* was possible and flexible, one could use the
calculated (current) bottom left paper coord of the coverage
rectangle to calculate the top-left position of the first AOI
area.
And so on across then down the remaining Atlas page for
subsequent AOI boxes, which will likely be of varying size.

I suppose this is rather like wanting an Atlas page-set within and
Atlas page.

Anyone achieved something like this?
Does this sound useful?

I guess, unless I've missed some facility in Atlas, I will be
doing this by using the Atlas facility to spit out carefully named
jpeg images, and then assembling the pages using Python and
LibreOffice (or something).

All thoughts/directions welcome.

Kind regards,
Zoltan

I wonder if someone can confirm if below is possible or not, using the Atlas facilities  QGIS 3.20.3 in WIndows 10.

Two issues, the second relying on the first.
#1 Variable size Map Item.
I would like to vary the size of the Map Item window, depending on the zoom window of the Atlas page.
I can set the "Position and Size" using an _expression_ or an attribute Field, but this seems to be fixed rather than dynamic
ie: Is it possible to have _expression_ and/or Field values dynamic per Atlas coverage page?

#2 Multiple Sub-maps per MapSheet.
Is it possible to have an Atlas page layout such that (say) in the top half of the page you have your zoomed map (as in #1 above) and in the bottom half of that sheet-page you place n-mapboxes  as insets predefined as n-AOI rectangles inside the zoom-window in the top of this MapPage?

A practical example/use would be:
Say you are doing an aerial analysis of a stretch of river and you have identified areas of interest by placing oriented rectangles around them.
You now want to show an overview of segments of the river, and then a zoom-in to each identified AOI rectangle to show larger scale prints below this river segment.

Method could/would be to:

Using the width of your intended page size, calculate the length of river you can fit across 1 page of your Atlas. Let's assume 1Km
Now a river meanders so you cannot run down the polyline depicting the river, you need to rotate and cut the river to the width of your atlas page.
This means your atlas Map-Item width will be constant, but the height, due to curvatures in the river, will vary.
Once you have your oriented MBRs calculated along the river, you can use these as your Atlas Coverage layer.
To show this with optimal page-area usage, you would need the Atlas facility I describe in #1 above.

Now, along the river you will have pre-placed your oriented AOI rectangles.
These will be much smaller rectangles than the 1Km river-length Atlas Coverage rectangles.
Now, for each AOI rectangle inside the current 1Km coverage rectangle, I want to show a larger scale image below the current coverage rectangle.
If #2 above was possible and flexible, one could use the calculated (current) bottom left paper coord of the coverage rectangle to calculate the top-left position of the first AOI area.
And so on across then down the remaining Atlas page for subsequent AOI boxes, which will likely be of varying size.
I suppose this is rather like wanting an Atlas page-set within and Atlas page.

Anyone achieved something like this?
Does this sound useful?

I guess, unless I've missed some facility in Atlas, I will be doing this by using the Atlas facility to spit out carefully named jpeg images, and then assembling the pages using Python and LibreOffice (or something).

All thoughts/directions welcome.

Kind regards,
Zoltan
