3.3 Querying the maps

[ghtmtt]

• info just gliding the layers
• summary info for an area
• layer attribute
• feature count
• labelling
• searching

[ghtmtt]

for summary info for an area, what can we use? Statist plugin, zonal statist plugin?

[ghtmtt]

getting info just gliding layers is very simple with the map tips tool: we have just to be sure which attribute has to be displayed. I include it in the documentation with some example, we have time later to change it

[pcav]

ok for map tips; more info can be obtained with statist plugin

[ghtmtt]

I include here the identify features tool (section -> layer attributes). I think it would be better to activate open the feature form rather than the default pop-up windows. Can we set it to default during the installation process?

[pcav]

Agreed, it would be nice.

[ghtmtt]

Fine, but this option is linked with the project properties or have we to set in during the packaging?

[pcav]

No idea, just test ;)

[ghtmtt]

It seems open feature form is NOT related with the single projects settings but only with the QGIS settings. So we should find a way to include during the packaging. Might it be possible to do? Alternatives?

[pcav]

It should be possible to start qgis with a custom settings file. This should be included in the custom package.

[ghtmtt]

Open the feature form rather then the default pop-up can be set starting QGIS with the --configpath option.
