Now that the extra features of the "polygon from vector layer extent"
algorithm are covered by the new "Minimum bounding geometry" algorithm,
we can replace the previous two "polygon from vector extent" and
"polygon from raster extent" algorithms by a single "polygon
from layer extent" algorithm.
This algorithm creates geometries which enclose the features
from an input layer.
Numerous enclosing geometry types are supported, including
bounding boxes (envelopes), oriented rectangles, circles and
convex hulls.
Optionally, the features can be grouped by a field. If set,
this causes the output layer to contain one feature per grouped
value with a minimal geometry covering just the features with
matching values.
Also modify alg to export a vector table of candidates instead of
a HTML list, since a vector table is more useful inside of
models and can be used for further analysis steps.
Check that all parameter's values pass the validity check,
even if not returned as QgsProcessingModelChildParameterSource.
In case of list, tests that it is really a QgsProcessingModelChildParameterSource list,
and create a QgsProcessingModelChildParameterSource from the list if it is not the case
(useful for custom parameters that return lists as ParameterFieldsMapping).
Improvements:
- Maintain Z/M values
- Keep original data type for group/order fields
- Group field is optional
- Added unit tests
- Don't export text files for features by default
Improvements:
- transparent reprojection to match hub/spoke CRS
- keep all attributes from matched hub/spoke features
- don't break after matching one hub point to spoke - instead
join ALL hub/spoke points with matching id values
Improvements:
- slight optimisation to feature requests - don't request attributes
which are not used
- Remove "method" param. Now the decision to group by field or
not is made only on whether a class field was selected or not
