24.1.20. Vector coverage

24.1.20.1. Dissolve coverage

Operates on a coverage (represented as a set of polygon features with exactly matching edge geometry) to dissolve (union) the geometries. It provides a heavily optimized approach for unioning these features compared with the standard Dissolve tools.

Parameters

Label	Name	Type	Description
Input layer	INPUT	[vector: polygon]	Input polygon vector layer
Dissolved	OUTPUT	[vector: polygon] Default: [Create temporary layer]	Specify the output vector layer. One of: Create Temporary Layer (TEMPORARY_OUTPUT) Save to File… Save to Geopackage… Save to Database Table… The file encoding can also be changed here.

Outputs

Label	Name	Type	Description
Dissolved	OUTPUT	[vector: polygon]	The output polygon vector layer with dissolved geometries.

Python code

Algorithm ID: native:coverageunion

import processing
processing.run("algorithm_id", {parameter_dictionary})

The algorithm id is displayed when you hover over the algorithm in the Processing Toolbox. The parameter dictionary provides the parameter NAMEs and values. See Utilizarea algoritmilor de procesare din consolă for details on how to run processing algorithms from the Python console.

24.1.20.2. Simplify coverage

Operates on a coverage (represented as a set of polygon features with exactly matching edge geometry) to apply a Visvalingam–Whyatt simplification to the edges, reducing complexity in proportion with the provided tolerance, while retaining a valid coverage (i.e. no edges will cross or touch after the simplification). Geometries will never be removed, but they may be simplified down to just a triangle. Also, some geometries (such as polygons which have too few non-repeated points) will be returned unchanged.

If the input dataset is not a valid coverage due to overlaps, it will still be simplified, but invalid topology such as crossing edges will still be invalid.

Requires version of GEOS >= 3.12

Parameters

Label	Name	Type	Description
Input layer	INPUT	[vector: polygon]	Input polygon vector layer
Tolerance	TOLERANCE	[number] Default: 0.0	The maximum distance (in unit of choice) between two consecutive vertices to get merged.
Preserve boundary	PRESERVE_BOUNDARY	[number] Default: False	When enabled, the outside edges of the coverage will be preserved without simplification
Simplified	OUTPUT	[vector: polygon] Default: [Create temporary layer]	Specify the output vector layer. One of: Create Temporary Layer (TEMPORARY_OUTPUT) Save to File… Save to Geopackage… Save to Database Table… The file encoding can also be changed here.

Outputs

Label	Name	Type	Description
Simplified	OUTPUT	[vector: polygon]	The output polygon vector layer, with a lower number of vertices.

24.1.20.3. Validate coverage

Analyzes a coverage (represented as a set of polygon features with exactly matching edge geometry) to find places where the assumption of exactly matching edges is not met. Invalidity includes polygons that overlap or that have gaps smaller than the specified gap width.

Requires version of GEOS >= 3.12
