Vector selection

Extract by attribute

Kuvaus

Creates new vector layer that only contains certain features from an input layer. The criteria for adding features to the resulting layer is defined based on the values of an attribute from the input layer.

Parameters

Input Layer [vector: any]
<put parameter description here>
Selection attribute [tablefield: any]
<put parameter description here>
Operator [selection]

<put parameter description here>

Options:

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

Default: 0

Value [string]

<put parameter description here>

Default: (not set)

Tulokset

Extracted (attribute) [vector]
<put output description here>

Console usage

processing.runalg('qgis:extractbyattribute', input, field, operator, value, output)

Extract by location

Kuvaus

Creates new vector layer that only contains certain features from an input layer. The criteria for adding features to the resulting layer is defined based on the spatial relationship between each feature and the features in an additional layer.

Parameters

Layer to select from [vector: any]
<put parameter description here>
Additional layer (intersection layer) [vector: any]
<put parameter description here>
Predicate [array of Unicode strings]

Condition for the selection. Array of one or more of the following predicates:

  • disjoint
  • intersects
  • contains
  • equals
  • touches
  • overlaps
  • within
  • crosses

For console usage the predicates must be defined as an array of Unicode strings, eg. [u’intersects’,u’contains’]

Precision [number]

Tulokset

Extracted (location)
<put output description here>

Console usage

processing.runalg('qgis:extractbylocation', input, intersect, predicates, precision, output)

Random extract

Kuvaus

Takes a vector layer and generates a new one that contains only a subset of the features in the input layer. The subset is defined randomly, using a percentage or count value to define the total number of features in the subset.

Parameters

Input layer [vector: any]
<put parameter description here>
Method [selection]

<put parameter description here>

Options:

  • 0 — Number of selected features
  • 1 — Percentage of selected features

Default: 0

Number/percentage of selected features [number]

<put parameter description here>

Default: 10

Tulokset

Extracted (random) [vector]
<put output description here>

Console usage

processing.runalg('qgis:randomextract', input, method, number, output)

Random extract within subsets

Kuvaus

Takes a vector layer and generates a new one that contains only a subset of the features in the input layer. The subset is defined randomly, using a percentage or count value to define the total number of features in the subset. The percentage/count value is not applied to the whole layer, but instead to each category. Categories are defined according to a given attribute, which is also specified as an input parameter for the algorithm.

Parameters

Input layer [vector: any]
<put parameter description here>
ID Field [tablefield: any]
<put parameter description here>
Method [selection]

<put parameter description here>

Options:

  • 0 — Number of selected features
  • 1 — Percentage of selected features

Default: 0

Number/percentage of selected features [number]

<put parameter description here>

Default: 10

Tulokset

``Extracted (random stratified) [vector]

Console usage

processing.runalg('qgis:randomextractwithinsubsets', input, field, method, number, output)
