[GIS] Exporting data from a WFS service to csv file using qgis

csvqgis

I have a service that contains a list of points with some meta data and I would like to export this to a csv file. I remember doing this some months ago and it worked well, but now I can't find the method (or plugin?) that I used.

Has anyone done something similar and know how to export data from a WFS service to a CSV file using QGIS?

Should be same as here: Getting list of coordinates for points in layer using QGIS?

select "Save As...", choose "Comma Separated Value", and in the "Layers" part of the "OGR creation options", type "GEOMETRY=AS_XY" or "GEOMETRY=AS_XYZ"

[GIS] Exporting climatic tabular data stored in TIF file into CSV

A very simple approach which springs to mind is to export the tiff to an ascii grid format such as ESRI's .asc file. You will then have a space delimited plain text file. It will have a few header lines which describe the origin, resolution and NoData values etc and you can easily skip over these for the sake of you calculations. You can do the translation using GDAL_translate or QGIS if you are looking for free tools or obviously use ArcGIS if you have it.

Alternatively, instead of changing the storage format, why not change your approach to performing the calculations? There are various APIs and tools available that will allow you to do all manner of calculations on an array (which is all the Tiff is after all). For example you gould use the GDAL Python Api in conjunction with NumPy and/or SciPy. The latter two modules give you great array handling capabilities. In that way you could analyse the Tiff as-is.

[GIS] Exporting shapefile to csv with cursor

Since you're using ArcGIS 10.2, you can take advantage of the new SearchCursor in the Data Access module, which returns row values in the order of the fields specified. Try replacing your current cursor code with:

#--now we make the search cursor that will iterate through the rows of the table
for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(genStruct, fieldList):
    writeOut.writerow(row)
