carsonfarmer / cartogram Goto Github PK

When I put these files in /Users/me/.qgis2/python/plugins/cartogram-master and start QGIS, and select Cartogram Creator from the plugins menu, the side panel says
"This plugin is broken
invalid syntax"

Just cloned this into /usr/share/qgis/python/plugins and it ain't working ("no metadata file"). Happy to work on a fix because it's a great plugin when working. Any suggestions?

I don't know enough about QGis to install the plugin manually; could you publish it in the official repository? (Or is it published and my QGis 2.4 just doesn't see it?)
Or add a guide on where to clone this repository to?

If I'm looking for an "accurate" result, where the polygons get reasonably correctly sized relative to the data column being used, how do I know how many iterations to run? I've already seen that it looks like I need to run more iterations in order to get a reasonably-looking distorted result when the low to high range of the data is separated by several orders of magnitude. But what I don't know is how to determine how many iterations I "should" run in order for my result to be mathematically accurate. Does running too many iterations endlessly exaggerate differences between polygons? Is there a way to know what the correct number of iterations I should run is?

I have joined a .csv file to the data in my .shp file (well, the .dbf, obviously), and I can see the data in the attribute table, but the field doesn't show up on the list of available fields in the drop down to choose a data field in the cartogram creator plugin.

Hi,

launching cartogram on either Qgis 2.0 or 2.4 on Fedora 20, I get the following error:

the cartogram plugin has been unzipped to the "/home/nao/.qgis2/python/plugins/cartogram_creator" directory.

Have you any idea of what is going wrong ?

regards,

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but...
