[Qgis-user] Adding virtual X & Y columns to a QGIS attribute form

Hi, I have created an attribute form for a QGIS layer. I want to add two fields to the form: the X & Y values of a point geometry column. I can't find any way to do this - if I don't use the form, it is easy to add the virtual columns as expressions ($x & $y) in the table view, but I want

Re: [Qgis-user] Adding a Web map to QGIS

Hi Krishna, Can you not ask them to turn on the WFS service in their ARC setup? Unless, like many govt agencies, they just ignore users requests. Sigh. Another option is to look for the data you want in data.gov. I have found that govt agencies often have strange & limited access to their data

[Qgis-user] Problem: Can't open Spatialite tables in QGIS on Windows

Hi, We have been using QGIS & Spatialite for years and have recently encountered a problem in QGIS under Windows. We connect to a spatialite database fine, we can list the tables, but when we try to open them we get an error: db <...> table <...> is an invalid layer - not loaded (this is also

[Qgis-user] QGIS unable to access Spatialite tables.

Hi, I and a few colleagues are encountering a problem accessing Spatialite tables from QGIS. It does not seem to be happening with v3.28, but it is with v3.34 (in both Linux & Windows). When opening a table in v2.8 there are no issues, everything is working as it has in recent years. However,

[Qgis-user] QGIS attribute forms question

Hi, I have created some forms for data entry/edit using QGIS. I have successfully exported them & imported them to apply in different computers with QGIS. It can take several hours to create such a form where there are 80+ columns in the underlying database table, I now have the situation

[Qgis-user] Null value issue in attribute form

[Qgis-user] QGIS & GPS

Gidday and Happy New Year from New Zealand! I have spent too many hours on this already, sigh... Hopefully someone can help. I normally use QGIS with USB GPS units on Linux and don't have driver issues, everything just works. But I now need to re-introduce myself to QGIS on Windows to set

[Qgis-user] Proj DB version conflict

Hi, I have a problem working with QGIS, Spatialite, R (sf package), and Postgis on Linux (Mint/Ubuntu) I cannot find versions of these applications that all share a common version of proj.db, and I cannot find a way to have a separate proj.db for each application. Any suggestions? Thanks

Re: [Qgis-user] [QGIS-Developer] Model for Temporal Measurement (vector) Datasets ?

Hi Richard, I think the underlying issue here is that QGIS does not do data management... It just accesses data (whether not managed, managed or mismanaged). You are correct, the traditional GIS model of a feature with attributes does not map to the real world very well in many use cases, and

Re: [Qgis-user] Polar stereographic (0 - 360 longitudes)

I don't believe you can. The underlying proj libraries (as used by QGIS) no longer support longitudes > 180 by default, so any re-projection from EPSG:4326 will only work with +-180 longitudes. There isa command line parameter (+over) which can be used with proj on the command line but I

Re: [Qgis-user] RAM and processing speed requirements for QGIS

Hi Helena, My 02c - it totally depends... QGIS as an application does not require much memory or cpu, until you throw data at it and ask it to do something. Your data and tasks determine the requirements, not the bare application. I did some benchmarking a while ago - R requires up to 8x the
