00:11:19 macho: hi anne!
00:11:50 aghisla: hi macho, wie geht's?
00:12:05 macho: ; ) stress .. and a lot of work ..
00:12:16 aghisla: :S
00:12:56 aghisla: qgis hackfest in vienna is really tempting, i will try to attend
00:13:18 macho: that would be nice
00:14:05 macho: I'll fix that date next week and write to the list if it is surely happening ..
00:14:16 macho: but i'm quite sure it will be ..
00:14:59 aghisla: great
02:13:11 macho: anyone using a mapserver like mapbender, mapserver or geoserver and could tell me some experiences? I'd like to implement a "orthophoto"-server here ..

03:29:16 CIA-65: updated images for german qgis 1.1 handbuch
03:29:16 CIA-65: update der unterstützten Datenformate
04:28:08 pm2: I have a raster image, and I used the georeferencer plugin to associate known points to their actual latitude/longitude . When I add it as a layer into QGIS, the image is very distorted ( like its been shrunk along the horizontal axis ). Is there a way to correct this, so that the image maintains its original perspective?
04:52:22 wildintellect: pm2, that may be how it actually looks in that projection
04:53:05 wildintellect: ie the original image may not have been true to distance and area representation
04:53:39 wildintellect: you could reproject it to a different projection using gdal command line tools
04:53:51 pm2: hmm... fair enough...
04:54:11 wildintellect: since I think you are in UTM projecting to an Albers Conformal conic will probably look better
04:56:26 pm2: there's no way just to "strech" the resolution along 1 axis?
04:56:55 wildintellect: custom reprojection
04:57:30 wildintellect: take a look at gdalwarp on the commandline and maybe try http://spatialreference.org/ref/esri/102008/ this projection
04:58:11 wildintellect: stretching the image would be called "rubber sheeting" and no I don't know how to do this in QGIS - maybe with the grass plugin?
05:00:37 pm2: hmmm... this is becoming rather frustrating...
05:13:25 pm2: maybe I'm making this too complicated....
05:14:43 pm2: Basically, I have an aerial photo of a 500-acre property. I know the lat/lon of several points on that property ( road intersections, corners of buildings, etc ). From that information, I want to be able to plot additional lat/long point. Eg, I give it a point, it shows it at the correct location on the map. Is QGIS the best way to do this?
10:32:06 simgislab: hi all, any grass users here? Can someone check if r.digit is present in 6.4? Can't find it ( installed with osgeo4w ).
10:32:29 simgislab: sorry for x-post with grass list, no answer there yet
10:41:09 jef: simgislab: no monitors ( whatever that might be ) on windows.
10:42:20 simgislab: jef: ah, and why is that?
10:42:55 jef: simgislab: no X, I suppose
