QGIS in de klas onder Windows
Somebody in my neighbourhood is Windows Administrator on a ‘Middelbare School’ here in Haarlem, my hometown. The school, het Mendelcollege, received a (Q)GIS intro by Margit Stapel of GisWijzer who is doing introductions for 10 – 14 year old childer with GIS. The school received this course from a GIS professional as part of the […]
Het Nationaal Georegister bevragen en services laden in QGIS met MetaSearch
We (mostly Tom Kralidis, Angelos Tzotsos with some additions by me) just released the MetaSearch Catalogue Client plugin for QGIS. The new plugin is an update of the CSWClient plugin from NextGIS. This new MetaSearch plugin makes searching metadata and using the services peanuts! A Catalog Service for the Web (CSW), for example provided by […]
IMRO data opmaken in QGIS
If you have to use IMRO data, you want to use the same legend as the one used on www.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl. Unfortunatly there is no standard IMRO legend file for QGIS. Luckily B3Partners uploaded an SLD file onto GitHub which you can use to create the legend in QGIS.
Serie kaarten maken met Python script
Sometimes you need to produce a series of similar thematic maps. The only difference is the field used to colour areas or show graduated symbols. Classifications or maximal symbol sizes are identical. For large numbers of maps it is quite annoying to repeat the same actions in QGIS over and over again. Moreover, mistakes are […]
Een serie kaarten genereren 2 (Linux)
In a previous article I described how you can let QGIS generate a series of thematic maps with a batch file. This method was meant for the Windows version of QGIS. Now I have written a similar shell script for Linux (‘projectsnapshots’). You can find it in the ZIP file included with this article. It […]
(English) Temporary Fix for OpenLayers Plugin
Current development version of QGIS ( upcoming QVIS 2.0 ) has undergone a nessecary upgrade of the Python-Cpp glue (SIP) which temporarily broke almost all python plugins. Currently plugin devs are busy fixing their plugins to be usable on time for the real launch of QGIS 2.0. One plugin notably missing plugin is the OpenLayers-plugin, […]
Het beste uit Top10NL, BAG en OSM combineren in QGIS
For some time now I’ve been using the BAG buildings in QGIS as an alternative to the Top10NL buildings. The BAG buildings are more accurate, after all. This is not to disqualify the Top10NL, on the contrary: each geo data set has its own merits. The Top10NL is unbeatable regarding terrain details. As for the […]
Kleurinstellingen voor WMS- en WMTS-kaartlagen
An advantage of using map services like WMS and WMTS is that your styling has been done by someone else. But this can turn into a disadvantage as well in case the colours of your overlay are similar to the colours in your remote base layer. To show this I created an example using the […]
België en Duitsland in RD met QGIS
De Basisregistratie Topografie (BRT/Top10NL) houdt ongeveer een kilometer na de landsgrens al op. Velen, bijvoorbeeld brandweermensen, hebben behoefte aan meer kaartbeeld over de landsgrens. Die kaartdata is er, en nog kosteloos ook. De Open Street Map (OSM) van de Europese landen is als Shapefiles te downloaden, o.a. via de Duitse GeoFabrik, http://download.geofabrik.de/europe.html. Ze wordt aangeboden in […]
