Trying Out Various QGIS Processing

img

I've been experimenting with QGIS processing πŸŽ‰

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.

GitHub

Open the Processing Toolbox.
Start QGIS β†’ Processing β†’ Toolbox

Create BBox data

Automatically creates a BBox for each geometry.

Processing Toolbox β†’ Vector Geometry β†’ Output BBox

Set the target layer and destination as desired and execute.

Intersection Point Creation

Create points where geometry intersects.

Processing Toolbox β†’ Vector Overlay β†’ Intersect Lines
img

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 β†’ Vector Selection β†’ 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 β†’ Vector Geometry β†’ Center of Gravity
img

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 β†’ Vector Geometry β†’ Points along Geometry
img

Set the target layer, distance, start offset, end offset, and destination as desired, and execute.
