| 01:07:02 | spacedman: | wildintellect: are you the same as "wildint" from earlier? still got an R problem? |
| 01:07:20 | wildintellect: | yes |
| 01:07:23 | wildintellect: | and no |
| 01:07:32 | spacedman: | cool : ) |
| 01:07:55 | wildintellect: | I use a short version of the same nick on my laptop cause it highlights on both machines |
| 01:08:32 | wildintellect: | I think my solution to earlier is spplot, still a little more to learn about applying the colors but it makes more sense now |
| 01:08:51 | spacedman: | can you not just do plot( thing, col=thing$whatever )? |
| 01:09:41 | wildintellect: | with plot It was more difficult to pick which column to base the color on - I don't have a color column in the table |
| 01:10:02 | spacedman: | ah, then maybe you need my in-development colourscheme package : ) |
| 01:10:17 | spacedman: | https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/colourscheme/ |
| 01:10:22 | sigq: | Title: R-Forge: Colour Schemes: Project Info ( at r-forge.r-project.org ) |
| 01:11:24 | wildintellect: | ah maybe, in this case I need to write instructions for someone else - so sticking to simple, known and documented methods |
| 01:11:44 | spacedman: | okay. I guess you just need a function to map your values to colours |
| 01:11:51 | wildintellect: | yup |
| 01:12:01 | wildintellect: | and that's the part that no one seems to explain how to do |
| 01:13:06 | spacedman: | are your values numeric or factors? |
| 01:13:24 | wildintellect: | sometimes numbers sometimes text codes |
| 01:14:04 | spacedman: | how much control do you want of colours? |
| 01:14:40 | wildintellect: | well it's to generate maps for scientific publication so pretty good control |
| 01:15:06 | spacedman: | okay... do you have specific colour schemes in mind? |
| 01:15:19 | wildintellect: | mostly RColorBrewer stuff |
| 01:15:49 | wildintellect: | that and grayscale |
| 01:16:41 | wildintellect: | I'll probably get back to playing with it again in 12 hours when I'm in the office - but I think I made good progress today, I made a map based on numeric values at least |
| 01:16:58 | wildintellect: | still need to work out labels, north arrow and scale bar |
| 01:17:07 | wildintellect: | but that looked relatively easy in spplot |
| 01:17:17 | spacedman: | tried importing to Qgis? : ) |
| 01:18:23 | wildintellect: | I made the map in QGIS 1st |
| 01:18:33 | wildintellect: | damn how'd i miss this earlier http://r-spatial.sourceforge.net/gallery/ |
| 01:18:35 | sigq: | Title: R sp graphics example figures ( at r-spatial.sourceforge.net ) |
| 01:19:05 | wildintellect: | that's almost everything I need |
| 01:19:05 | spacedman: | my colourscheme package should do exactly what you want. e.g. rs2 = rampInterpolate( c( -2, 2 ), brewer.pal( 5, "PuOr" ) ) ; plot( x,y,col=rs2( data ) ) |
| 01:19:24 | wildintellect: | cool, I'll give it a shot for my personal use |
| 01:19:25 | spacedman: | seen the r graph gallery too? |
| 01:19:40 | wildintellect: | yes but too many non-map things clutter |
| 01:19:59 | wildintellect: | The objective here is a professor who knows some R now wants to make maps |
| 01:20:05 | wildintellect: | but they don't really know GIS |
| 01:20:36 | wildintellect: | I'm giving them the how to do it in QGIS, R and ArcGIS( Assuming they get their vm install on mac working ) |
| 01:20:53 | wildintellect: | and the maps they want are simple |
| 01:21:29 | wildintellect: | values per polygon, maybe scaled points per values using states and counties |
| 01:21:29 | spacedman: | okay sounds good. want to show them how to do it in pure python as well: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Maps |
| 01:21:34 | sigq: | Title: Cookbook/Matplotlib/Maps - ( at www.scipy.org ) |
| 01:22:23 | wildintellect: | I get the feeling that's over their heads |
| 01:22:25 | spacedman: | prob : ) |
| 01:22:38 | wildintellect: | R only came up since they already use it for stats |
| 01:22:48 | wildintellect: | and already have it installed |
| 01:23:11 | wildintellect: | so technically it's the fastest way to a map since it doesn't require any new software |
| 01:23:29 | spacedman: | there's also the rworldmap package which is in development for easy world maps - it knows about country codes and connecting data frames with country codes to the data for making maps: http://code.google.com/p/rworld/ |
| 01:23:37 | sigq: | Title: rworld - Google Code ( at code.google.com ) |
| 01:23:50 | wildintellect: | I saw something else like that today |
| 01:23:56 | wildintellect: | the maps package I think |
| 01:24:08 | wildintellect: | already had world, country and state boundaries in it |
| 01:24:37 | wildintellect: | thanks for the links, I better get to bed |
| 01:24:51 | spacedman: | where are you? |
| 01:25:39 | wildintellect: | California |
| 01:58:22 | Guest30457: | hi jef and all, i am developing tabs for qgis... i have created the diagram that discribes what i have done and how it works but i don't have experience in UML and Qgis and i hard need that it was checked before i continue and do other diagrams... can you wath it and consult me? |

| 07:48:59 | cgs_bob_: | springmeyer: ping |
| 07:49:14 | springmeyer: | pong |
| 08:02:58 | cgs_bob_: | springmeyer: just had a coworker inter my office...sorry for the delay : ) anyways, I just pulled the latest quantumnik and noticed that the plugin manager says the plugin is broken |
| 08:03:30 | springmeyer: | hey, ya, I just incremented the qgis min version too much |
| 08:03:38 | springmeyer: | are you running Kore? if so which version? |
| 08:06:27 | cgs_bob_: | I'm running both Kore 1.0.2 . and also 1.2 |
| 08:06:38 | springmeyer: | okay, can you try again? |
| 08:06:43 | springmeyer: | sorry about that |
| 08:06:55 | cgs_bob_: | ok...brb |
| 08:09:55 | cgs_bob_: | it's ok now. now I can see what you've been up to : ) |
| 08:11:43 | springmeyer: | heh, ya, lots of easy little fixes |
| 08:12:02 | springmeyer: | lines and dashes should look a bit closer now |
| 08:12:51 | cgs_bob_: | great! I'll be givint it a workout today : ) |
| 08:13:20 | springmeyer: | thanks cgs_bob_ |
| 08:13:28 | springmeyer: | cgs_bob_: so whacha using it for? |
| 08:14:56 | cgs_bob_: | I'm working on a earthquake induced landslide hazard zone map. want to make it look pretty : ) |
| 08:16:48 | springmeyer: | ah ha, nice. what projection and how many layers? |
| 08:17:52 | cgs_bob_: | I'm using utm zone 10 nad83 and I have about 4 layers in my map |
| 08:19:15 | cgs_bob_: | hey...I got to get. I'll be back in about 30 minutes |
