Today I will be killing/murdering the mapping program known as QGIS, as I cannot figure out how to do the very basic functions I would like it to do. #GIS #QGIS

Your #ArcGIS feature service has "disable downloads" selected? That's cute. I, too, put up meaningless barriers from time to time.

Let me introduce you to my friend #qgis

Im nächsten @foss_academy Web-Seminar im August geht es um

I added the #OpenStreetMap Foundation #VectorTiles server to #QGIS with the demo style and it just works.

It feels about as responsive as the OpenStreetMap Standard layer does in QGIS but is sharper on my high-resolution display.

QGIS wins the day! QGIS saved a few steps with its Split lines by maximum length tool (and it didn’t inexplicably drop contours from the output). ArcGIS Pro just cannot deal with excessively large contour datasets. #QGIS #GIS

Great news for #NixOS and nix users wanting to run bleeding edge, unreleased versions of #QGIS As of today you can now simply run this command to run the latest version of #QGIS in git:

nix run github:qgis/QGIS#qgis

Note: When you run this command, it will take a while and your CPU will work hard since it builds everything from source.

Thanks so much to @imincik for this amazing and far reaching contribution to #QGIS !

Next week, the Quarticle team is heading to Mostar for FOSS4G Europe 2025. If you're around, let’s chat!

#FOSS4GNL earlier this week in Wageningen was very inspiring. Great to see what the Dutch #opensource #geospatial community is doing. Nice to contribute with presentations and workshops. Read my blog for an impression: https://www.qwast-gis.com/l/foss4gnl-at-wageningen-campus/

When making a #QGIS layout, if you want to split a long section of text into multiple columns, you can "Add HTML" and then use CSS styles to automatically format the columns.
