You can use the "Points2One" plugin which makes the task you need. As input takes a point layer and as output gives a polygon or a polyline. In your case you can choose polygon. Be careful with the order of the points, otherwise you might get funny results. eg |1 2| is fine , but |4 3| |1 2| will intersect with itself, making two triangles! |3 4| Ves Nikos _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
