Hi Regis

I can now use Hotlink to open all sorts of files in QGIS.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi.
Maybe little of topic but...
I have found a ortofoto as a Geotiff-file that are compressed with jpeg.
Why kompress tiff with jpeg and not make the hole file as jpg?

Cheers

Hi Philippe,
you just have to define native actions on layers as described in manual or
here. 
This is located in layer properties/ tab "actions". 
Since 1.8, you can add examples to help you define different actions. If you
alreadyu have a url or a field path in a field, just use "open" action, and
insert the name of your field with the tool that inserts an expression. It
should be something like [%myfield%] R?gis

Hi,

Geotiff files can have tiles and overviews and georeference information
whereas jpeg files cannot to my knowledge. Georeference information for jpeg
files are stored in separate jpw files. Besides, due to tiling and overviews
tif files can be very large. You could store all orthoimages of your region
in a single file without performance problems.

Personally I use JPEG compressed tif files for all of my orthoimages. I
don't like ECW or MrSid due to the unclear license issues. If you look into
the archives of this list you see that people have troubles with these
closed formats.

Andreas

Dear Colleagues,

I am tasked with defining harvesting strips for a community forest in Zambia
and am struggling to find a suitable solution. Our approach uses the coop
and shelter belt (harvest alternative strips of forest) method and requires
that our area be split into 5 ha "blocks". I understand how to make a grid
of 5 ha blocks, however, we have a topography issue. Our site is located in
some pretty hilly areas so we want to harvest along contours to avoid soil
erosion issues. I am looking for a quantitative approach to portioning our
site up into 5ha blocks that run along contours. I have access to QGIS and R
as well as any other FOSS available. Do any of the Qgis users have a
suggestion with regards to a suitable approach?

Many thanks,
Wesley

Message-ID: <1359537431498-5030866.post@n6.nabble.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

 Hi,

Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on my issue loading out-db /
filesystem stored rasters from PostGIS.

I began to wonder if the data had loaded correctly but came across the
following psql method to get a basic image out and it is fine:

postgis20test=# SELECT oid, lowrite(lo_open(oid, 131072),png) AS num_bytes
FROM ( VALUES (lo_create(0), ST_AsPNG((SELECT rast FROM
public.raster2pgsqltest_local _outdb WHERE rid=1)) )) AS v(oid,png);
  oid  | num_bytes
-------+-----------
 19094 |      8769
(1 row)


postgis20test=# \lo_export 19094 `C:/test.png`

However, i note a PostGIS raster option ST_AsGDALRaster and i tried
replacing the ST_AsPNG clause with this (which runs as a SELECT query) and
it doesn't seem to work.

ST_asgdalraster((SELECT rast FROM public.raster2pgsqltest_local_outdb WHERE
rid=1),'png',NULL,27700)

Any ideas on what i can do to further narrow down my search for the issue
would be fantastic? Or even if i'm asking in the wrong place... i have also
popped something on the gdal site.

Andy

 Hi Johan,

 There may be two reasons why the opening of the tiff files take so
 long:

 1. They do not have internal pyramids.
 2. Your QGIS version is calculating histograms

 You can see if your raster files have pyramids by checking the pyramids
tab in the raster layer properties. If they do not have the pyramids you
will see red cross-marks. You can build or rebuild the pyramids directly
from this tab. Depending on the file-size the process of pyramid  building
takes a long time.

 As to two: some QGIS versions out there (don't ask me which version
 exactly) always calculated histograms on opening the file. If you have
such a version, you should upgrade your QGIS.

 If neither of the above are the case the file should open in less than  a
second, regardless of the file size.

 The recommended compression inside the tiff-file depends on the nature  of
the data:

 Pure black and white files or files with a handful of colors should not  be
jpeg-compressed. A better compression would be deflate or ccittrle or  rle.
These are all lossless compressions. JPEG is a lossy compression. 
 For photo-data or maps with a lot of colors, also for grayscale photos,
JPEG is the better option. You can also set the quality. Be aware though
that JPEG can destroy bits of the data (depending on the quality
 setting) - so keep your original data as well.

 See http://www.gdal.org/frmt_gtiff.html for more information.

 Hope this helps.

 Andreas
