Introduction

Reproject a raster layer

Reproject a vector layer

Raster to Vector (polygons) (0%)

• Covert to vector
• Edit polygons
• Gdal_contour (fr)
• Using TheGIMP (fr)

Concept: Use and elevation GIS file, a discrete black & white colormap, and the Print composer to output one 1500px/1500px black & white png by altitude (0m, +200m, +500m, etc, name the png accordingly!) by a cycle such as 1. editing the map color, 2. actualizing the Print composer, 3. outputting the next png. Then use Inkscape to vectorize : load all png, align them, vectorize each using 2 colors + delete background. Color each vector polygon level (0m, 200m, ...) as need.
QGis don't convert raster polygons into vector polygons. It does contours, but which have no fill, and thus, are not suitable.

Add a plugin (SimpleSVG)

This section is about adding a plugin not available through QGis (1.7) > Plugins > Fetch plugins, and thus to install handily. We take the case of QGis SimpleSVG plugin.

1. Download the plugin > Unzip it.
2. Cut-Paste the folder in

   for Linux : in /home/YOURUSERNAME/.qgis/python/plugins/ (paste me here!)

   for Windows: somewhere in c:/documents and settings, within the QGis' python plugins folder.

3. QGis (1.7) > Plugins > Manage plugins > QGis Plugins Manager (pop up)¹ > search key word (SVG) > check the good plugin + ok
4. >> Open a/some vector layers or a project with them >
5. >> Plugins > Find your plugin: "Save as SVG" > Save as SVG > Choice your ouput place.

¹: this window also provide you the address of your plugin directory !

SimpleSVG currently save the QGis' screen as a SVG with the correct layer division. This save us a lot a energy for later Inkscape work, especially colorations. SimpleSVG is a plugin currently under developement, Richard Duivenvoorde is looking for ideas for improvement.
