TRANSECT THROUGH POLYGON SHAPEFILE ================================== Description ----------- Transect for lines and polygon shapefiles The goal of this module is to create a transect along a line through a polygon map. Eg |____ST1_____!_ST2_!__ST1__!_______ST#_____| (Soil type 1 etc...) This is done by creating a table with the ID of each line, the distance to the starting point and the different transects: :: | line_id | start | end | code/field | | 0 | 0 | 124 | ST1 | | 0 | 124 | 300 | ST2 | | 0 | 300 | 1223 | ST1 | | 0 | 1223 | 2504 | ST3 | | 1 | 0 | 200 | ST4 | | ... | ... | ... | ... | The module requires an input shape with all the line transects [Transect_Line] and a polygon theme [Theme]. You also have to select which field you want to have in the resulting table [Transect_Result]. This can be an ID of the polygon theme if you want to link the tables later on, or any other field [Theme_Field]. Parameters ---------- - ``Line Transect(s)[Vector]``: - ``Theme[Vector]``: - ``Theme Field[TableField]``: Outputs ------- - ``Result table[Table]``: See also --------- Console usage ------------- :: processing.runalg('saga:transectthroughpolygonshapefile', transect, theme, theme_field, transect_result)
