Adds a new QgsGeometry::orthagonalize method which tries to make
angles in geometries either right angles or straight lines
Also adds a processing algorithm exposing this feature.
Replaces the existing 'Basic Stats for Numeric Fields' and
'Basic Stats for String Fields' algorithms and adds support
for date/time/datetime fields.
Having a single unified algorithm allows more flexible models
where a field type may not be known in advance.
Deprecate existing basic stats algorithms
Copy min area parameter from 'Fill holes' algorithm to 'delete
holes' algorithm.
Also:
- make algorithm maintain z/m values
- make algorithm work with curved geometries
- add unit tests
Since both input and intersect layers have only one field (fid), the result is the same for both (existing and new) tests. The result now comes with the intersect field, renamed to fid_1 (previously not kept).
Rename algorithm SplitLinesWithLines to SplitWithLines
Accept polygon as input, too
Use only selected lines to split with (if processing is set to use selection only)
Issue log message if trying to split multi geometries
Update help
Implements a method in QgsGeometry and a processing algorithm to
calculate the pole of inaccessibility for a surface, which is the
most distant internal point from the boundary of the surface. This function
uses the 'polylabel' algorithm (Vladimir Agafonkin, 2016), which is an iterative
approach guaranteed to find the true pole of inaccessibility within a specified
tolerance. More precise tolerances require more iterations and will take longer
to calculate.
With a new option to prefer to snap to closest point on geometry.
The old behaviour was to prefer to snap to nodes, even if a node
was further from the input geometry than a segment. The new option
allows you to snap geometries to the closest point, regardless
of whether it's a node or segment.
This algorithm updates existing geometries (or creates new
geometries) for input features by use of a QGIS expression. This
allows complex geometry modifications which can utilise all the
flexibility of the QGIS expression engine to manipulate and create
geometries for output features.
This algorithm allows you to extract specific nodes from geometries.
Eg you can extract the first or last node in the geometry.
The algorithm accepts a comma separated list of node indices to
extract, eg 0 = first node, 1 = second node, etc. Negative indices
can be used to extract nodes from the end of the geometry. Eg
-1 = last node, -2 = second last node.
