Hey Regis, I think a Layer -> Create Geometry Layer menu item would be a great idea for non geometry layers.
Wouldn't be that hard to do I don't think. Sqlite might be the best format as it's light and flexible. If you want something dynamic i.e change the data, updates the points, then maybe a plugin layer would be best. I am planning on adding the ability to define data provider in Python for 2.1, I do have working code just can't commit it, which I think would work well here. It would wrap the other layers dataprovider and just return the geometry on the fly. We could make it 2.1. Regards, Nathan that looks nice! SQLITE is a data duplication.. so could be hard to maintain sync with datasource. Opinions about relying on a vrt ? -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/New-feature-s-needed-create-geometry-from-attribute-tp5063071p5063204.html Sent from the Quantum GIS - Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
