NEED HELP WITH ROAD NAMES AND CANVAS OPACITY IN MAPFILES!

What do you mean? Your code snippet looks fine. As long as new labeling is only a plugin, I don't think it's settings will be exported to the mapfile. But I expect new labeling to be moved into core in QGIS 2.0 which should "hit the market" at the end of 2010.
Yes but inserting those sections in the mapfile manually is impossible. Imagine I have to insert all the street names of my country. I allready did them in QGIS (as shown below) but aparently as you said those labels cannot be exported to the mapfile since they use the labelling plugin, and the export to mapfile feature does not support it.

Problems with Image Clipper

Looks like a path problem. I guess the plugin developer only tested on Linux systems. You might want to contact him directly.

Australian media crews pull 18 month old baby from Haiti rubble. Your thoughts? The little girl was lying alongside the bodies of her dead parents who were killed in the 7.0 magnitude earthquake which hit Port-au-Prince on January 12 when the camera crews heard her moans and began to dig her out on Friday.

Problems with Image Clipper
by gw73 (Posted Wed Mar 10, 2010 10:22 pm)
Hi
I'm very new to Quantum GIS and GIS in general, but so far it seems very good. I'm having a problem with the image Clipper plugin. I get this error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Documents and Settings/gwmill/.qgis//python/plugins\image_clipper\dlgimageclipper.py", line 266, in ClipImage
gdal_merge(gdalstring)

file_infos = names_to_fileinfos( names )
File "C:/Documents and Settings/gwmill/.qgis//python/plugins\image_clipper\gdal_merge_bb.py", line 119, in names_to_fileinfos
raise 'FileIO', ('The file "%s" does not exist' % name)
FileIO: The file "County\SC_08NAIP\SC_08NAIPCLIPPED.jp2" does not exist
All the other plugins seem to work.I'm using Windows xp and Quantum GIS 1.4.
Thanks

[SOLVED] Reinstall Graticule Plugin?
by hagg_koos (Posted Wed Mar 10, 2010 2:54 pm)
Ok! I found the one in ftools.
Creating those graticule shape files is a good way to do quality control on georef'd maps.
Have a great day everyone!

Add the _geom to an existing feature.
by underdark (Posted Wed Mar 10, 2010 2:27 pm)
QGIS plugins can only be developed in C++ and Python. But getting in to Python is a piece of cake if you're used to C#.
There's a QGIS developer meeting (aka Hackfest) next weekend. I'll try to bring the topic ("adding geometries into NULL-fields") up. Maybe it's not even a big deal and can be implemented already during the hackfest.

Reinstall Graticule Plugin?
by underdark (Posted Wed Mar 10, 2010 8:01 am)
It's generally not possible to install pre 1.0 plugins with QGIS versions > 1.0
Seems like graticule creator has been replaced by a function in ftools (see http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-trac/2009-February/002182.html)

Hello to all,
I'm just new to QGIS and found it very interesting.
I'm trying to build a mapping application, can I use QGIS as the framework or engine or something like that for my development?
I hope to hear constructive opinions and suggestions.
Thank you very much!

Reinstall Graticule Plugin?
by hagg_koos (Posted Tue Mar 09, 2010 4:55 pm)
Back in v 0.11.0 there was a graticule plugin that was pretty useful. I don't see it in 1.4, except for in the Map Composer.
I tried to copy the Dll from the 0.11.0 plugins folder over to the 1.4 directories, but have not had any success in installing that way. It is also not listed in the main repositories.
Does anybody know how I can get this plugin installed in 1.4? This is on a WIndows XP machine.
Thanks!

Open Source approach to clipping scanned maps
by hagg_koos (Posted Tue Mar 09, 2010 4:48 pm)
Hi,
I use Adobe Photoshop for that kind of thing, an Open Source alternative to that is called GIMP (originally for Linux but also available for other OS's)
Some maps (due to projection) will not be perfectly square- I fill the segments around the border with a color (usually white=255) and label that as the 'no data' value once it's georef'd. That border can be any unique color that is not in your map.
I have also heard of MicroDEM, which has a lot under it's hood- but I have yet to try it.
Hope this helps!
Koos
