28.1.22. Vector geometry

28.1.22.1. Add geometry attributes

Computes geometric properties of the features in a vector layer and includes them in the output layer.

It generates a new vector layer with the same content as the input one, but with additional attributes, containing geometric measurements based on a selected CRS.

The attributes added to the table depend on the geometry type and dimension of the input layer:

• for point layers: X (xcoord), Y (ycoord), Z (zcoord) coordinates and/or M value (mvalue)

• for line layers: length and, for the LineString and CompoundCurve geometry types, the feature sinuosity and straight distance (straightdis)

• for polygon layers: perimeter and area

28.1.22.3. Aggregate

Takes a vector or table layer and creates a new layer by aggregating features based on a group by expression.

Features for which group by expression returns the same value are grouped together.

It is possible to group all source features together using constant value in group by parameter, example: NULL.

It is also possible to group features by multiple fields using Array function, example: Array(„Field1“, „Field2“).

Geometries (if present) are combined into one multipart geometry for each group. Output attributes are computed depending on each given aggregate definition.

This algorithm allows to use the default aggregates functions of the QGIS Expression engine.

28.1.22.8. Check validity

Performs a validity check on the geometries of a vector layer.

The geometries are classified in three groups (valid, invalid and error) and for each group, a vector layer with its features is generated:

• The Valid output layer contains only the valid features (without topological errors).

• The Invalid output layer contains all the invalid features found by the algorithm.

• The Error output layer is a point layer that points to where the invalid features were found.

The attribute tables of the generated layers will contain some additional information („message“ for the error layer, „FID“ and „_errors“ for the invalid layer and only „FID“ for the valid layer):

The attribute table of each generated vector layer will contain some additional information (number of errors found and types of error):

Types of error messages and their meanings

Tab. 28.1 If the GEOS method is used the following error messages can occur:

Error message	Explanation	Beispiel
Repeated point	This error happens when a given vertex is repeated.
Ring self-intersection	This error happens when a geometry touches itself and generates a ring.
Self-intersection	This error happens when a geometry touches itself.
Topology validation error
Hole lies outside shell
Holes are nested
Interior is disconnected
Nested shells	This error happens when a polygon geometry is on top of another polygon geometry.
Duplicate rings	This error happens when two rings (exterior or interior) of a polygon geometry are identical
Too few points in geometry component
Invalid coordinate	For a point geometry, this error happens when the geometry does not have a proper coordinate pair. The coordinate pair does not contain a latitude value and a longitude value in that order.
Ring is not closed

Tab. 28.2 If the QGIS method is used the following error messages can occur:

Error message	Explanation	Beispiel
Segment %1 of ring %2 of polygon %3 intersects segment %4 of ring %5 of polygon %6 at %7
Ring %1 with less than four points
Ring %1 not closed
Line %1 with less than two points
Line %1 contains %n duplicate node(s) at %2	This error happens when consecutive points on a line have the same coordinates.
Segments %1 and %2 of line %3 intersect at %4	This error happens when a line self intersects (two segments of the line intersect each other).
Ring self-intersection	This error happens when an outer or inner (island) ring / boundary of a polygon geometry intersects itself.
Ring %1 of polygon %2 not in exterior ring
Polygon %1 lies inside polygon %2	This error happens when a part of a MultiPolygon geometry is inside a hole of a MultiPolygon geometry.

28.1.22.9. Collect geometries

Takes a vector layer and collects its geometries into new multipart geometries.

One or more attributes can be specified to collect only geometries belonging to the same class (having the same value for the specified attributes), alternatively all geometries can be collected.

All output geometries will be converted to multi geometries, even those with just a single part. This algorithm does not dissolve overlapping geometries - they will be collected together without modifying the shape of each geometry part.

See the ‚Promote to multipart‘ or ‚Aggregate‘ algorithms for alternative options.

28.1.22.20. Densify by interval

Takes a polygon or line layer and generates a new one in which the geometries have a larger number of vertices than the original one.

The geometries are densified by adding regularly placed extra vertices inside each segment so that the maximum distance between any two vertices does not exceed the specified distance.

If the geometries have Z or M values present then these will be linearly interpolated at the added vertices.

Beispiel

Specifying a distance of 3 would cause the segment [0 0] -> [10 0] to be converted to [0 0] -> [2.5 0] -> [5 0] -> [7.5 0] -> [10 0], since 3 extra vertices are required on the segment and spacing these at 2.5 increments allows them to be evenly spaced over the segment.

28.1.22.21. Dissolve

Takes a vector layer and combines its features into new features. One or more attributes can be specified to dissolve features belonging to the same class (having the same value for the specified attributes), alternatively all features can be dissolved to a single feature.

All output geometries will be converted to multi geometries. In case the input is a polygon layer, common boundaries of adjacent polygons being dissolved will get erased. If enabled, the optional „Keep disjoint features separate“ setting will cause features and parts that do not overlap or touch to be exported as separate features (instead of parts of a single multipart feature).

The resulting attribute table will have the same fields as the input layer. The values in the output layer’s fields are the ones of the first input feature that happens to be processed.

28.1.22.28. Extract specific vertices

Takes a vector layer and generates a point layer with points representing specific vertices in the input geometries.

For instance, this algorithm can be used to extract the first or last vertices in the geometry. The attributes associated to each point are the same ones associated to the feature that the vertex belongs to.

The vertex indices parameter accepts a comma separated string specifying the indices of the vertices to extract. The first vertex corresponds to an index of 0, the second vertex has an index of 1, etc. Negative indices can be used to find vertices at the end of the geometry, e.g., an index of -1 corresponds to the last vertex, -2 corresponds to the second last vertex, etc.

Additional fields are added to the vertices indicating the specific vertex position (e.g., 0, -1, etc), the original vertex index, the vertex’s part and its index within the part (as well as its ring for polygons), distance along the original geometry and bisector angle of vertex for the original geometry.

28.1.22.35. Geodesic line split at antimeridian

Splits a line into multiple geodesic segments, whenever the line crosses the antimeridian (±180 degrees longitude).

Splitting at the antimeridian helps the visual display of the lines in some projections. The returned geometry will always be a multi-part geometry.

Whenever line segments in the input geometry cross the antimeridian, they will be split into two segments, with the latitude of the breakpoint being determined using a geodesic line connecting the points either side of this segment. The current project ellipsoid setting will be used when calculating this breakpoint.

If the input geometry contains M or Z values, these will be linearly interpolated for the new vertices created at the antimeridian.

E.g. two vertices with the same X and Y coordinate but different Z values will still be considered duplicate and one will be removed. If the Use Z Value parameter is true, then the Z values are also tested and vertices with the same X and Y but different Z will be maintained.

Allows features in-place modification of point, line, and polygon features

Bemerkung

Duplicate vertices are not tested between different parts of a multipart geometry, e.g. a multipoint geometry with overlapping points will not be changed by this method.

28.1.22.70. Smooth

Smooths the geometries in a line or polygon layer by adding more vertices and corners to the feature geometries.

The iterations parameter dictates how many smoothing iterations will be applied to each geometry. A higher number of iterations results in smoother geometries with the cost of greater number of nodes in the geometries.

Abb. 28.110 Mit zunehmender Anzahl von Iterationen werden die Geometrien glatter

The offset parameter controls how „tightly“ the smoothed geometries follow the original geometries. Smaller values results in a tighter fit, and larger values will create a looser fit.

Abb. 28.111 Blue: the input layer. Offset 0.25 gives the red line, while offset 0.50 gives the green line.

The maximum angle parameter can be used to prevent smoothing of nodes with large angles. Any node where the angle of the segments to either side is larger than this will not be smoothed. For example, setting the maximum angle to 90 degrees or lower would preserve right angles in the geometry.

28.1.22.78. Transect

Creates transects on vertices for (multi)linestring.

A transect is a line oriented from an angle (by default perpendicular) to the input polylines (at vertices).

Field(s) from feature(s) are returned in the transect with these new fields:

• TR_FID: ID of the original feature

• TR_ID: ID of the transect. Each transect have an unique ID

• TR_SEGMENT: ID of the segment of the linestring

• TR_ANGLE: Angle in degrees from the original line at the vertex

• TR_LENGTH: Total length of the transect returned

• TR_ORIENT: Side of the transect (only on the left or right of the line, or both side)
