A “Halftone Edge” style for QGIS

I added a new “Halftone Edge” style for QGIS to my GitLab repository that contains some of my use cases of Geometry Generators.

All info on this new QGIS style, including example files, can be found on https://gitlab.com/GIS-projects/qgis-geometry-generator-examples/tree/master/QML-files/halftone_edge.

You can download the entire repository with all my Geometry Generator examples at once: https://gitlab.com/GIS-projects/qgis-geometry-generator-examples/-/archive/master/qgis-geometry-generator-examples-master.zip

Copy WFS data to PostGIS using ogr2ogr (PART 3): automating the import procedure

Sometimes a web service you use in your GIS application is offline and that results in a GIS application that doesn’t work as it should or doesn’t show the correct data. To avoid these problems you should have a local copy of the data of that web service. For a WFS service the data can be copied to a PostGIS database. This can be done using the command line utility ogr2ogr. This isn’t too hard but some people might be afraid to use the command line. So I wrote this guide about how to handle this from installation to automating the import procedure. Because this guide became pretty long, I divided it up into 3 parts. Part 1 was about the installation of GDAL and ogr2ogr. Part 2 was about the use of ogr2ogr in a Windows batch file and part 3 is about automating the import procedure.

Gauges style in QGIS
