Hi all, thanks to the support of the Conservation Biology Unit of University of Évora (Portugal) a few new tools (animal movement related, but not limited to) have been added to QGIS in different ways:
* Into QGIS core, as part of the Processing toolbox starting from QGIS 2.4 (due in the next days): a few random points (in polygons or along lines) tools, with options for minum distances, have been added to qgis geoalgorithms -> vector creation tools * the animove plugin for the Processing toolbox (ex sextante) has been updated: the already existing tools for Home Ranges computation have not been touched, on the other hand now the toolbox includes the functionalities of the "Random HR" plugin, a tool that was previously available for QGIS 1.x but not for QGIS 2.x moreover it is now available a "Random Paths" tool: this allows to randomize line(s) with a number of options: keep angles, randomize angles, randomize starting points, etc. the tool also allow to verify if the random paths will cross the (line/polygon) features in input vector layer. The code repository for the update plugin is the following one https://github.com/alexbruy/sextante_animove while the plugin itself is installable directy using the QGIS plugin manager * a new plugin for the processing toolbox that allows to run Circuotscape http://www.circuitscape.org/ directly inside QGIS. The code repository for the update plugin is the following one http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/processing_circuitscape/ while the plugin itself is installable directy using the QGIS plugin manager This plugin needs QGIS 2.4 (or the actual development version) to run. cheers -- Giovanni -- _______________________________________________ AniMov mailing list AniMov@faunalia.it http://lists.faunalia.it/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/animov
