[QGIS-ZA-user] Access to CD: NGI Portal

[Immo Blecher]

Good Morning,

Just for interest's sake and to latch onto that:

 From Francis' link you can go to Browse Erdas APOLLO Catalog

Then under the Coverage Catalog|ROOT|CDNGI_PORTAL|TOTO_DATA|DOWNLOADS 
you will find all provinces datasets in .gdb format, which you can just 
download.

Then in QGIS use the Datasource Manager and under /Vector/ choose 
/Directory/ and /Type OpenFileGDB/, then locate the folder which was 
unzipped from the downloaded file and that's it. There you have all the 
lines, polygons, points which are on the NGI maps. Very valuable stuff! 
It is read-only but from there you can change all the styles and 
fonts/labels etc. and then use the Tool "Package Layers" to save 
everything into a GeoPackage. The amazing thing with that is that all 
styles will be preserved and next time you open layers from the 
GeoPackage they are back exactly as they were. Amazing QGIS!

Regards

Immo
