I've been experimenting with QGIS processing 🎉
QGIS processing can be used to process a variety of location data. Processing can be used in GUI, batch processing, Python scripting, and other methods. In this article, I will show you how to use GUI!
I have tried more than 60 different types of vector processing in "dayjournal memo." I'd like to recommend five of them for you this time! Processing can be used for a variety of other processes, including raster. Check them out!
The following is a detailed explanation.
- Advance Preparation
- Create BBox data
- Intersection Point Creation
- Data selection by spatial search
- Creating the center of gravity of geometry
- Create a group of equally spaced points
Advance Preparation
The following repository contains sample data of points, lines, and polygons. Please use it for verification.
Open the Processing Toolbox.
Start QGIS → Processing → Toolbox
Create BBox data
Automatically creates a BBox for each geometry.
Processing Toolbox → Vector Geometry → Output BBox
Set the target layer and destination as desired and execute.

Intersection Point Creation
Create points where geometry intersects.
Processing Toolbox → Vector Overlay → Intersect Lines
Set Target Layer 1, Target Layer 2, and Destination as desired, and execute.

Data selection by spatial search
The Within function is used to extract points contained in polygons. Other functions can also be used.
Processing Toolbox → Vector Selection → Selection by Location
Set the target layer, spatial search method, compared layers, and selection status arbitrarily, and then execute.

Creating the center of gravity of geometry
Create a point at the center of gravity of geometry.
Processing Toolbox → Vector Geometry → Center of Gravity
Set the target layer and destination arbitrarily and execute.

Create a group of equally spaced points
Create points on a line at intervals of a specified distance.
Processing Toolbox → Vector Geometry → Points along Geometry
Set the target layer, distance, start offset, end offset, and destination as desired, and execute.
