00:07:19 CIA-65: mhugent * r10882 /trunk/qgis/src/ ( 4 files in 3 dirs ): [FEATURE] Added option to show only markers of selected features in editing mode.
01:19:38 CIA-65: mhugent * r10883 /trunk/qgis/src/app/qgsprojectproperties.cpp: More robust parsing of project snapping options
01:20:08 sigq: tracfeed: Changeset [10883]: More robust parsing of project snapping options <https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/changeset/10883>
02:31:38 spacedman: can anyone recall the reason for R crash dumps when using rpy within qgis? I'm on qgis 1.0.2, R 2.9.0 and rpy all from ubuntu repos for Hardy Heron...
03:19:52 CIA-65: santini * r10884 /docs/branches/1.0.0/italian/user_guide/ ( external_plugins.tex plugins_writing_in_cpp.tex ): IT translation for plugins writing chapter - partial

04:06:33 user__: i
04:10:40 sampson_: ping
04:12:48 sampson_: can anyone provide insight how to call one python script from another. for instance I want to call the WFS plugin from an external plugin.
04:19:54 sampson_: so far I figure I am looking at self.iface.pluginMenu( )
04:20:20 sampson_: that returns a virtual qmenu object ( i think )... so how do I choose a plugin to run from the plugin menu?
04:33:42 sampson_: it looks like the WFS plugin is a C plugin that is stored as a DLL... will this prevent me from loading it?
05:09:24 CIA-65: mhugent * r10885 /trunk/qgis/ ( 4 files in 3 dirs ): Use a DPI parameter in the WMS request. This allows printing with QGIS from QGIS mapserver ( and is ignored by the other WMS servers )
06:42:48 CIA-65: rblazek * r10886 /trunk/qgis/src/plugins/grass/scripts/qgis.db.connect-login.pg.py: fixed wrong port
06:44:39 sigq: tracfeed: Changeset [10886]: fixed wrong port <https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/changeset/10886>
07:33:01 spacedman: hey gary, how goes it?
07:33:16 gsherman: hi, just got back from a 2 week journey
07:33:29 spacedman: work or pleasure?
07:33:39 gsherman: daughter's graduation
07:34:02 spacedman: so "duty" then : )
07:34:32 gsherman: not really. then took the ferry from washington state up the inside passage through alaska
07:34:46 spacedman: ...unless you funded her education, in which case it's payback time by embarrassing her in front of her college friends....
07:35:17 gsherman: don't dare. it was law school. don't make a fresh batch of lawyers mad
07:35:33 spacedman: graduation day here is full of male grads trying to get their mums to stop fussing them....
07:35:39 gsherman: heh
07:48:51 spacedman: right, hometime
07:52:46 gsherman: @seen timlinux
07:52:46 sigq: gsherman: timlinux was last seen in #qgis 4 days, 19 hours, 48 minutes, and 40 seconds ago: <timlinux> typinf with an orange in my hand :- )
07:52:53 gsherman: @seen wonder_sk
07:52:53 sigq: gsherman: wonder_sk was last seen in #qgis 2 weeks, 3 days, 23 hours, 47 minutes, and 24 seconds ago: <wonder_sk> fine, looking forward to see it
07:53:00 gsherman: @seen wonder
07:53:01 sigq: gsherman: I have not seen wonder.
08:05:58 : * gsherman back later

12:03:54 CIA-65: wonder * r10887 /branches/symbology-ng-branch/src/plugins/ ( 12 files in 2 dirs ): First prototype of labeling plugin based on PAL ( usable already )
12:03:56 sigq: tracfeed: Changeset [10887]: First prototype of labeling plugin based on PAL ( usable already ) <https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/changeset/10887>
12:25:10 timlinux: evening all
12:25:18 timlinux: @seen gsherman
12:25:18 sigq: timlinux: gsherman was last seen in #qgis 4 hours, 19 minutes, and 19 seconds ago: * gsherman back later
12:30:17 cgs_bob_: timlinux: hi there! you just missed gsherman
12:31:25 timlinux: cgs_bob_, urf
12:32:12 cgs_bob_: looks like he went to his daughter's graduation
12:48:46 timlinux: cgs_bob_, oh nice
13:53:58 cgs_bob_: wonder_sk: hi there! I just tried the label plugin. works great! since it takes longer to render when you have lots of points and you can't tell which point belongs to which label, I was wondering if you can make the labels display depending on scale?
13:54:45 wonder_sk: hi cgs_bob_
13:54:55 wonder_sk: glad you like it ;- )
13:55:45 wonder_sk: how do you mean to display the labels depending on scale?
13:56:10 wonder_sk: e.g. show them only for scale 1:10000 and closer?
13:58:00 cgs_bob_: yup...that would be nice. : )
14:00:37 springmeyer: cgs_bob_: the current labeling has that, right?
14:00:42 wonder_sk: cgs_bob_: that's not a problem : )
14:05:42 cgs_bob_: springmeyer: I believe it only works on features. I don't believe it works on just labels
14:08:19 cgs_bob_: wonder_sk: super! and while you are at it, can you add bubble maps to the symbology branch ; ) I'll submit an enhancement ticket once I get home : )
14:08:40 wonder_sk: ;- )
14:08:50 wonder_sk: ...what are actually bubble maps? : )
14:09:30 wonder_sk: google revealed something...
14:10:22 cgs_bob_: they are point features that are colored based on a attribute and its size is based on another attribute
14:11:08 wildintellect: want to one up it, make each point a pie chart calculated from several columns
14:12:06 springmeyer: cgs_bob_: oh, well I see it in the label symbolgy tab
14:12:24 springmeyer: anyway, small beans once we've got PAL : )
14:15:19 cgs_bob_: springmeyer: you're right...it's in there : ) but I would be interested in seeing what you can do with quantumnik ; )
14:17:06 wildintellect: ah theoretically reading the values from there shouldn't be hard, does mapnik support scale dependant rendering?
14:17:31 wildintellect: that seems like something handled by a viewer
14:17:41 springmeyer: cgs_bob_: hmm, not sure what can be done. Mapnik works with named styles which accept MIN/MAX scale denominators, but there's not an interface in QGIS to set them
14:19:10 springmeyer: so in Mapnik you can have more than one style associated with a layer, and each style can have many rendering scales with different symbology
14:19:32 springmeyer: QGIS seems to have a one2one relationship from what I can tell
14:51:08 CIA-65: wonder * r10888 /branches/symbology-ng-branch/src/plugins/labeling/ ( 9 files ): Added engine configuration dialog. It's possible to set number of candidate labels that will be generated for every feature and the search method.
15:15:38 CIA-65: wonder * r10889 /branches/symbology-ng-branch/src/plugins/labeling/ ( 4 files ): Labeling: allowed to set priority for a layer and whether's it should be considered as an obstacle.
