Source layer to use.

Output

Output layer [vector: point, line]
Boundary from the input layer (point for line, and line for polygon).

Console usage

processing.runalg('qgis:boundary', input_layer, output_layer)

Dissolve

Descrizione

This algorithm takes a polygon or line vector layer and combines their geometries into new geometries. One or more attributes can be specified to dissolve only geometries belonging to the same class (having the same value for the specified attributes), alternatively all geometries can be dissolved.

If the geometries to be dissolved are spatially separated from each other the output will be multi geometries. In case the input is a polygon layer, common boundaries of adjacent polygons being dissolved will get erased.

Parameters

Input layer [vector: polygon, line]
Line or polygon layer to be dissolved.
Dissolve all (do not use field) [boolean]

Dissolve all geometries; values in the output layer’s fields are the ones of the first input feature that happens to be processed. Returns one feature whose geometry represents all geometries of the input layer.

Default: True

Unique ID fields [tablefield: any]

Optional.

If features share a common value in all selected field(s) their geometries will be combined. Values in the output layer’s fields are the ones of the first input feature that happens to be processed. Returns one feature for each unique value in the field. The feature’s geometry represents all input geometries with this value.

Outputs

Dissolved [vector]
output layer, either (multi) line or (multi) polygon

Console usage

processing.runalg('qgis:dissolve', input, dissolve_all, field, output)

Eliminate sliver polygons

Descrizione

This algorithm combines selected polygons of the input layer with certain adjacent polygons by erasing their common boundary. Eliminate can either use an existing selection or a logical query based on one of the layer’s fields to make the selection itself. The adjacent polygon can be either the one with the largest or smallest area or the one sharing the largest common boundary with the polygon to be eliminated. Eliminate is normally used to get rid of sliver polygons, i.e. tiny polygons that are a result of polygon intersection processes where boundaries of the inputs are similar but not identical.

Parameters

Input layer [vector: polygon]
Polygon layer in which polygons should be eliminated.
Use current selection in input layer (works only if called from toolbox) [boolean]

Check this if you want the currently selected polygons to be eliminated.

Default: False

Selection attribute [tablefield: any]
Field to be used for the logical selection.
Comparison [selection]

Comparison parameter to be used for the logical selection.

Options:

  • 0 — ==
  • 1 — !=
  • 2 — >
  • 3 — >=
  • 4 — <
  • 5 — <=
  • 6 — begins with
  • 7 — contains

Default: 0

Value [string]

Value to be used for the logical selection.

Default: 0

Merge selection with the neighbouring polygon with the [selection]

Determines which adjacent polygon the polygon to be eliminated will be combined with.

Options:

  • 0 — Largest area
  • 1 — Smallest Area
  • 2 — Largest common boundary

Default: 0

Outputs

Cleaned layer [vector]
output layer
