[GIS] How to import .tab file from mapinfo to QGIS with same color on symbol

qgis

I am apprentice Drivetest Analyzer. I want to see color in QGIS like Mapinfo. This is my step.

1.I'm open log file from Drivetest Engineer by Actix

2.I'm export this file to .tab and open in Mapinfo

3.And add vector layer from .tab file to see in QGIS but the color dosen't same like Mapinfo

This is my question : How can I do to see .tab in QGIS with same color in Mapinfo

Best Answer

Nathan Woodrow has developed a piece of Python to do just this, called the "MapInfo to QGIS Style Generator". It works by exporting the style information from MapInfo at a text file and then the python tool reads this into a qml file format for QGIS.

I haven't tested it as I don't have a copy of MapInfo to work on but you can find the instructions and the download on github here: https://github.com/NathanW2/MapInfo-to-QGIS-style-generator/wiki/Using-MapInfo-to-QGIS-style-generator

Maybe the table is an Extended MapInfo Table build with a 64 bit version of MapInfo Pro?

Open the tab file in a text editor and see if it says "Type NATIVE" or "Type NATIVEX"

NATIVEX is the new Extended MapInfo Table format which isn't supported by the MITAB driver and so not supported by QGIS.

You can try to save it into a "standard" MapInfo Table using MapInfo Pro.

You can export point, line, and polygon layers into separate files and combine them with ogr2ogr.

ogr2ogr commands for combining points, lines, and polygons into layer "collect"

ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo File" collect.tab points.mif -nln collect
ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo File" -update -append collect.tab lines.mif -nln collect
ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo File" -update -append collect.tab polygons.mif -nln collect

ogrinfo that confirms that all features with individual styles are now on the same layer

ogrinfo collect.tab -al
