Polygons [vector: polygon]
Polygons layer.
Points [vector: point]
Points layer.
Weight field [tablefield: any]
Weight field of the points attribute table.
Count field name [string]

Name of the column for the new weighted field.

Default: NUMPOINTS

Outputs

Result [vector]
The resulting polygons layer.

Console usage

processing.runalg('qgis:countpointsinpolygonweighted', polygons, points, weight, field, output)

Count unique points in polygon

Description

Counts the number of unique values of a points in a polygons layer. Creates a new polygons layer with an extra column in the attribute table containing the count of unique values for each feature.

Parameters

Polygons [vector: polygon]
Polygons layer.
Points [vector: point]
Points layer.
Class field [tablefield: any]
Points layer column name of the unique value chosen.
Count field name [string]

Column name containing the count of unique values in the resulting polygons layer.

Default: NUMPOINTS

Outputs

Result [vector]
The resulting polygons layer.
