Hi!
Thanks for offering your advice, and also for your wonderful collection!
Nice that you mention this - because I have a functioning interface to
cpt-city in QGis! The code I have parses the svg files using QT's xml
routines.
Although I did not parse the "master" xml file you mention, but the
directory structure of the archive (after unzipping the zip file with
svg gradients).
I will look into that xml file (it isn't so obvious that there is such
a file on your site), as well as your suggestions for downloading
current package.
I have a doubt regarding licences though - it would not be ok for use
to supply the files, but it would be OK to write software to fetch the
data automatically?
Also, I was wondering if you would mind that the use of this automatic
downloading in QGis could impose a burden on your site... could we
host a mirror copy on qgis.org, or would that infringe on the
licences?
Attached is a screenshot of the interface I made to cpt-city
gradients. There are some things to improve, but it's functional.
My github repository has the code:
