06:47:26 spacedman: hi all. I had a colleague think Qgis wasn't open source any more... I wonder where she got that idea!
06:49:15 FiReSTaRT: spacedman, i have a pretty good idea.. you think she would share her dealer's number? they seem to be selling some pretty good stuff :P
06:58:56 spacedman: I think gary's blog entry wasn't ridiculous enough....
07:01:30 spacedman: I would have said something like Qgis is being sold to Microsoft and going closed source if all the developers agree to a one-off payment of $30,000 - details [here] and a link to wikipedia's april fool page : )
07:06:52 cfarmer: spacedman: I think there were quite a few who were fooled... no faith! ;- )
07:08:35 cfarmer: anyone know of a utility that will convert html ( with css ) to pdf?
07:13:15 FiReSTaRT: u can convert it to ps by using html2ps
07:13:19 FiReSTaRT: maybe that'll do the trick
07:13:26 FiReSTaRT: or at least be the starting point
07:13:28 : * FiReSTaRT shrugs
07:13:59 FiReSTaRT: or xhtml2ps
07:14:20 cfarmer: FiReSTaRT: that's what I'm trying now...
07:14:40 FiReSTaRT: i'm just browsing through what synaptic has to offer
07:15:30 FiReSTaRT: unoconv is a command line thing, but it has support for conversion from/to anything that openoffice can handle
07:15:52 FiReSTaRT: This package provides a commandline utility which can convert from
07:15:52 FiReSTaRT: any document format that OpenOffice can import to any document format
07:15:52 FiReSTaRT: it can export. It uses OpenOffice's UNO bindings for non-interactive
07:15:52 FiReSTaRT: conversion of documents.
07:15:52 FiReSTaRT: Supported document formats include Open Document format, MS Word, MS
07:15:52 FiReSTaRT: Office Open/MS OOXML, PDF, HTML, XHTML, RTF, Docbook, and more.
07:16:47 FiReSTaRT: htmldoc sounds even better
07:16:57 FiReSTaRT: HTMLDOC is a program for writing documentation in HTML and producing
07:16:57 FiReSTaRT: indexed HTML, PostScript, or PDF output ( with tables of contents ).
07:18:47 cfarmer: oops, maybe pm me if there is any more...
07:19:05 FiReSTaRT: might be a good idea so i don't flood the channel lol
07:34:59 spacedman: cfarmer: can you print to a PDF writer device from a browser?
07:37:59 spacedman: or this looks possibly cool: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
07:38:00 sigq: Title: wkhtmltopdf - Google Code ( at code.google.com )
07:40:08 CIA-70: sholl * r10740 /docs/trunk/english_us/user_guide/ ( 3 files in 2 dirs ):
07:40:08 CIA-70: * added some notes about the different Proxy-types and added a screener of
07:40:08 CIA-70: the dialog
07:45:18 simgislab: cfarmer: hi
08:11:31 cfarmer: simgislab: howdy
08:12:07 simgislab: hey, I've started writing and almost finished, one question
08:13:03 simgislab: in older manual, for the example it uses an image from spearfish dataset, not the best example, as the image is already referenced
08:13:40 simgislab: do we have a sample ungeoreferenced map, that I can use as an example?
08:14:48 simgislab: right now I'm using one of mine, but it is not free to distribute :(
08:15:08 cfarmer: spacedman: thanks for the link by the way...
08:15:13 cfarmer: simgislab: hmm let me check...
08:22:32 cfarmer: simgislab: what about in the grass location of the sample data?
08:23:31 simgislab: cfarmer: can you give me a link to grass sample data?
08:24:49 cfarmer: simgislab: http://www.qgis.org/en/download/sample-data.html
08:24:50 sigq: Title: Sample Data ( at www.qgis.org )
08:25:37 cfarmer: simgislab: are you using specific values for the example, or could I just create the screen grabs using the sample data and no one would be the wiser?
08:25:46 simgislab: no, this won't work I guess
08:25:59 simgislab: well
08:26:29 simgislab: let me see
08:26:54 simgislab: the previous example is kind of weird
08:27:09 simgislab: because it shows how to georef already referenced raster
08:27:22 simgislab: previous = from the older manuals
08:27:57 simgislab: so I suppose it is better to use something more typical, like scanned topo
08:28:06 cfarmer: well it's really just the process that's important right... the fact that it's already georeferenced isn't *that* important is it?
08:28:32 cfarmer: i don't have any scanned images that I can legally use, do you?
08:28:43 simgislab: like this ftp://ftp.agrc.state.ut.us/DRG/500k/Collared/state_DRG500K_NAD27.zip
08:30:14 simgislab: well, if real working example is not necessery, I guess we're fine with what I have already, just screenshots
08:30:58 cfarmer: yeh I think that will be ok for now... we are going to go over the manual after the release when we have more time, and this is something that we can tackle at that point it think...
08:31:37 simgislab: cfarmer: sounds good, I'm planning to work little bit more on it today and will send it to you
08:34:28 cfarmer: great, thanks again! I'm heading home soon... but i'll be back on irc a bit later if you have any more questions...
08:35:38 epifanio: hi cfarmer .. i was down in a deep sleep, thanks for try the wms!
08:46:05 cfarmer: np, sorry I don't have a solution for you ;- )
08:46:40 : * cfarmer is heading home for the day... cheers all!
10:42:23 CIA-70: wonder * r10741 /trunk/qgis/src/ ( 3 files in 2 dirs ): Extension of QgisInterface so also actions from plugins can be set in configure shortcuts dialog.
