This blog describes an algorithm and a formula to determine the side of one point relative to a segment (two other points), all three points located on a sphere. The side informarmation is necessary for Boost.Geometry. It is used, among others, in the within algorithm, to check if a point is inside a polygon (point in polygon).

Hidden feature alert! I guess I have been a good boy and use sudo more than I do log in as root, or I would have discovered this much earlier on. While updating some website software with a new version, I wanted to recursively copy files from a new tar ball into the old web site vhost location - while also forcing it to overwrite existing files.

So far, Time Manager has been limited to vector layers. Support for raster layers has been on the wish list for quite a while. I’ve been considering different approaches and … Continue reading This is a follow-up to my recent “Natural Earth Quick Start Kit” post in which I presented the great quick start kit provided by the Natural Earth team. The QGIS project … Continue reading After my successful experiment with QGIS Server on Ubuntu, I took a shot at Windows7.
Back in February, I had a long post about the FCC’s conditional approval of LightSquared’s wireless broadband proposal. This waiver was vigorously opposed by the GPS industry because tests by Garmin showed that it would seriously disrupt GPS in areas where it was implemented. Read the post for a full rundown , but briefly LightSquared’s plan requires high-power transmissions in frequencies immediately adjacent to the GPS band, which drown out the GPS signal entirely. LightSquared dismissed these Garmin results, stating in a comment to my post:

Маразматическая ситуация с «секретностью» карт начинает доходить до ранее не затронутых аудиторий. Алексей Митяев поучаствовал в конкурсе по планированию велодорожек, ему отказали, аргументировав отсутствием лицензии ФСБ. Роспил пожаловался в ФАС (подробная аргументация Исполнителя): 3. По мнению Заявителя, Заказчиком не обосновано установлено требование в конкурсной документации в части наличия у участников размещения заказа лицензии ФСБ на осуществление работ, связанных с использованием сведений, составляющих государственную тайну.

Итак, меня практически заставили сделать это подавляющим числом голосов на встрече, теперь мне очень интересно будет посмотреть, как же это будет использоваться Идея: Каждый может создать себе блог на GIS-Lab и писать туда что угодно. Резонно ожидать, что записи будут на тему геотехнологий. Все надеются, что это повысит писучесть участников. Нюансы:
