| 07:48:07 | cgs_bob: | hello all. what do I need to generate postgis.pdf from the source code? also, where can I find it on the website? |
| 07:52:03 | springmeyer: | cgs_bob: you mean this: http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-1.3/ |
| 07:52:05 | sigq: | Title: PostGIS 1.3.4 Manual ( at postgis.refractions.net ) |
| 07:53:22 | springmeyer: | to generate yourself you'll need to install docbook utilitilies and during configure time indicate the path to the default docbook xsl file |
| 07:58:14 | cgs_bob: | springmeyer: I know about the url above. I wanted a pdf so I can print the document all in one shot. I tried to generate the pdf myself, but I guess I forgot about setting the default docbook xsl file. thanks for the info |
| 07:59:57 | springmeyer: | cgs_bob: |
| 07:59:58 | springmeyer: | springmeyer:trunk spring$ ./configure --help | grep xsl |
| 07:59:58 | springmeyer: | --with-xsldir=PATH specify the directory containing the docbook.xsl |
| 08:01:05 | springmeyer: | mine is located here: /opt/local/share/xsl/docbook-xsl/html/docbook.xsl |
| 08:01:17 | cgs_bob: | springmeyer: do you know which ubuntu packages I need for docbook? there are several in the repo |
| 08:01:25 | springmeyer: | so, --with-xsldir=/opt/local/share/xsl/docbook-xsl/ |
| 08:01:56 | springmeyer: | hmm, good question, I'll peek ( my example path is from osx ) |
| 08:04:34 | springmeyer: | apt-cache search gives a lot of options, yes. I would go with 'docbook-utils' |
| 08:05:09 | springmeyer: | I'm assuming that will give you the xsl stylesheets as well but you'll see those listed as well... |
| 08:06:04 | cgs_bob: | springmeyer: thanks a bunch. I'll see if I can get it going at work |
| 10:22:11 | GioMan: | Hi all, I need to buy a book on postgre/postgis, any suggestion? |
| 11:05:49 | darkblue_B: | springmeyer: hello! I thought I'd try that doc as well, seeing all the doc changes posted over the last week or so |
| 11:06:29 | springmeyer: | no doubt: the postgis world is gettin' pretty exciting on the learning/documentation front |
| 11:06:40 | springmeyer: | I've been building HTML but not PDF yet. |
| 11:07:07 | darkblue_B: | so I found a dir that for configure.. Ubuntu.. /usr/share/apps/ksgmltools2/docbook/xsl |
| 11:07:32 | darkblue_B: | whats the make target for the docs? |
| 11:07:34 | springmeyer: | darkblue_B: if you just want to peak at the docs as the come along you can watch: http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-svn/ch07.html |
| 11:07:35 | sigq: | Title: Chapter 7. PostGIS Reference ( at postgis.refractions.net ) |
| 11:07:56 | darkblue_B: | ok.. thats convenient |
| 11:08:18 | springmeyer: | the make target is the postgis_svn/docs/html |
| 11:09:31 | darkblue_B: | aha |
| 11:09:40 | darkblue_B: | I went into the doc dir and issued make |
| 11:09:46 | darkblue_B: | I get a result in the html dir |
| 11:09:52 | darkblue_B: | looking |
| 11:11:05 | springmeyer: | you should be set then |
| 11:11:31 | springmeyer: | postgis.html is the generated doc |
| 11:11:37 | darkblue_B: | yep.. lots of fresh, spring like text book'ness ;- ) |
| 11:12:00 | darkblue_B: | its so happy looking - I can hardlt stand it! |
| 11:12:33 | darkblue_B: | I found it interesting in the talkover pramsey 's hectare project |
| 11:12:53 | darkblue_B: | that the ability to take some resources laid out over an area |
| 11:12:57 | springmeyer: | oh you mean the cut little "Note' graphic? that the one that gives you fuzzies? |
| 11:13:06 | darkblue_B: | :P |
| 11:13:08 | springmeyer: | happy is good dude |
| 11:13:12 | darkblue_B: | the colors too |
| 11:13:47 | darkblue_B: | .. that the ability to give sums for square areas out of a larger landscape is apparently challenging to do |
| 11:13:57 | springmeyer: | well, then we'll have to rotate them for the seasons to keep you in the right mood |
| 11:14:13 | springmeyer: | ./configure --with-autumn-glory |
| 11:14:19 | darkblue_B: | exactly! |
| 11:14:53 | springmeyer: | ./configure --with-winter_solstice_at_new_years_with_george_winston_playing_ |
| 11:15:08 | darkblue_B: | welcome to design |
| 11:15:25 | darkblue_B: | I like design actually.. I am just not practiced at apllettes of colors |
| 11:15:38 | darkblue_B: | hobu pointed out an auto-color set picker for mapping apps |
| 11:15:41 | darkblue_B: | for the mac |
| 11:15:46 | darkblue_B: | I had never seen that before |
| 11:15:56 | darkblue_B: | its an application |
| 11:15:57 | springmeyer: | what is it? |
| 11:16:06 | darkblue_B: | .. drat.. didnt write it down |
| 11:16:19 | darkblue_B: | essential mac apps .. in the GDAL IRC chat |
| 11:16:28 | darkblue_B: | hobu's top 5 |
| 11:16:32 | springmeyer: | I'm currently working on colorbrewer palettes for mapping stuff... I like learning about 'schemes' |
| 11:17:23 | springmeyer: | for mac desktop I just use the standard system color picker with a few extensions - it is really useful |
| 11:36:29 | hobu: | Color Schemer |
| 12:42:33 | springmeyer: | hobu: cheers |
