25.1.17. Vector general

25.1.17.1. Projektion zuweisen

Weist einem Vektorlayer eine neue Projektion zu.

Erzeugt einen neuen Layer mit exakt den gleichen Objekten und Geometrien wie die Eingabe, aber mit einem neu zugewiesenen KBS. Die Geometrien werden nicht umprojiziert, sondern es wird nur ein neues KBS zugewiesen.

Der Algorithmus kann benutzt werden, um Layer zu reparieren, denen eine falsche Projektion zugewiesen wurde.

Attribute werden von diesem Algorithmus nicht verändert.

Exploring spatial relations

Geometrische Prädikate sind boolesche Funktionen, die verwendet werden, um die räumliche Beziehung eines Features zu einem anderen zu bestimmen, indem verglichen wird, ob und wie ihre Geometrien einen Teil des Raums teilen.

Abb. 25.46 Suche nach räumlichen Beziehungen zwischen Layern

Unter Verwendung der obigen Abbildung suchen wir nach den grünen Kreisen, indem wir sie räumlich mit dem orangefarbenen Rechteck-Feature vergleichen. Verfügbare geometrische Prädikate sind:

Schneidet

Testet, ob eine Geometrie eine andere schneidet. Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn sich die Geometrien räumlich überschneiden (einen Teil des Raums teilen – überlappen oder berühren) und 0, wenn dies nicht der Fall ist. Im obigen Bild werden die Kreise 1, 2 und 3 zurückgegeben.

Enthält

Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn und nur wenn keine Punkte von b außerhalb von a liegen und mindestens ein Punkt des Inneren von b innerhalb von a liegt. Im Bild wird kein Kreis zurückgegeben, sondern das Rechteck wäre es, wenn man es umgekehrt suchen würde, da es den Kreis 1 komplett enthält. Das ist das Gegenteil von sind innerhalb.

Getrennt

Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn die Geometrien keinen Teil des Raums teilen (keine Überlappung, keine Berührung). Nur Kreis 4 wird zurückgegeben.

Gleich

Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn und nur wenn die Geometrien genau gleich sind. Es werden keine Kreise zurückgegeben.

Berührt

Testet, ob eine Geometrie eine andere berührt. Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn die Geometrien mindestens einen Punkt gemeinsam haben, aber ihre Innenräume sich nicht schneiden. Nur Kreis 3 wird zurückgegeben.

Überlappt

Testet, ob eine Geometrie eine andere überlappt. Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn die Geometrien sich den Raum teilen, dieselbe Dimension haben, aber nicht vollständig ineinander liegen. Nur Kreis 2 wird zurückgegeben.

Sind innerhalb

Testet, ob sich eine Geometrie in einer anderen befindet. Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn sich Geometrie a vollständig innerhalb von Geometrie b befindet. Nur Kreis 1 wird zurückgegeben.

Kreuzen

Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn die bereitgestellten Geometrien einige, aber nicht alle inneren Punkte gemeinsam haben und die tatsächliche Kreuzung eine geringere Dimension als die höchste bereitgestellte Geometrie hat. Beispielsweise wird eine Linie, die ein Polygon kreuzt, als Linie gekreuzt (wahr). Zwei Linien, die sich kreuzen, kreuzen sich als Punkt (wahr). Zwei Polygone kreuzen sich als Polygon (falsch). Im Bild werden keine Kreise zurückgegeben.

25.1.17.20. Join attributes by location (summary)

Takes an input vector layer and creates a new vector layer that is an extended version of the input one, with additional attributes in its attribute table.

The additional attributes and their values are taken from a second vector layer. A spatial criteria is applied to select the values from the second layer that are added to each feature from the first layer.

The algorithm calculates a statistical summary for the values from matching features in the second layer (e.g. maximum value, mean value, etc).

Exploring spatial relations

Geometrische Prädikate sind boolesche Funktionen, die verwendet werden, um die räumliche Beziehung eines Features zu einem anderen zu bestimmen, indem verglichen wird, ob und wie ihre Geometrien einen Teil des Raums teilen.

Abb. 25.47 Suche nach räumlichen Beziehungen zwischen Layern

Unter Verwendung der obigen Abbildung suchen wir nach den grünen Kreisen, indem wir sie räumlich mit dem orangefarbenen Rechteck-Feature vergleichen. Verfügbare geometrische Prädikate sind:

Schneidet

Testet, ob eine Geometrie eine andere schneidet. Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn sich die Geometrien räumlich überschneiden (einen Teil des Raums teilen – überlappen oder berühren) und 0, wenn dies nicht der Fall ist. Im obigen Bild werden die Kreise 1, 2 und 3 zurückgegeben.

Enthält

Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn und nur wenn keine Punkte von b außerhalb von a liegen und mindestens ein Punkt des Inneren von b innerhalb von a liegt. Im Bild wird kein Kreis zurückgegeben, sondern das Rechteck wäre es, wenn man es umgekehrt suchen würde, da es den Kreis 1 komplett enthält. Das ist das Gegenteil von sind innerhalb.

Getrennt

Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn die Geometrien keinen Teil des Raums teilen (keine Überlappung, keine Berührung). Nur Kreis 4 wird zurückgegeben.

Gleich

Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn und nur wenn die Geometrien genau gleich sind. Es werden keine Kreise zurückgegeben.

Berührt

Testet, ob eine Geometrie eine andere berührt. Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn die Geometrien mindestens einen Punkt gemeinsam haben, aber ihre Innenräume sich nicht schneiden. Nur Kreis 3 wird zurückgegeben.

Überlappt

Testet, ob eine Geometrie eine andere überlappt. Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn die Geometrien sich den Raum teilen, dieselbe Dimension haben, aber nicht vollständig ineinander liegen. Nur Kreis 2 wird zurückgegeben.

Sind innerhalb

Testet, ob sich eine Geometrie in einer anderen befindet. Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn sich Geometrie a vollständig innerhalb von Geometrie b befindet. Nur Kreis 1 wird zurückgegeben.

Kreuzen

Gibt 1 (wahr) zurück, wenn die bereitgestellten Geometrien einige, aber nicht alle inneren Punkte gemeinsam haben und die tatsächliche Kreuzung eine geringere Dimension als die höchste bereitgestellte Geometrie hat. Beispielsweise wird eine Linie, die ein Polygon kreuzt, als Linie gekreuzt (wahr). Zwei Linien, die sich kreuzen, kreuzen sich als Punkt (wahr). Zwei Polygone kreuzen sich als Polygon (falsch). Im Bild werden keine Kreise zurückgegeben.

25.1.17.21. Join attributes by nearest

Takes an input vector layer and creates a new vector layer with additional fields in its attribute table. The additional attributes and their values are taken from a second vector layer. Features are joined by finding the closest features from each layer.

By default only the nearest feature is joined, but the join can also join to the k-nearest neighboring features.

If a maximum distance is specified, only features which are closer than this distance will be matched.

25.1.17.22. Merge vector layers

Combines multiple vector layers of the same geometry type into a single one.

The attribute table of the resulting layer will contain the fields from all input layers. If fields with the same name but different types are found then the exported field will be automatically converted into a string type field. New fields storing the original layer name and source are also added.

If any input layers contain Z or M values, then the output layer will also contain these values. Similarly, if any of the input layers are multi-part, the output layer will also be a multi-part layer.

Optionally, the destination coordinate reference system (CRS) for the merged layer can be set. If it is not set, the CRS will be taken from the first input layer. All layers will be reprojected to match this CRS.
