I would like to perturb all the point locations on a layer by a random amount within a range, from say 100 feet to 500 feet. Each point should be individually perturbed with different values for the x and y, but the overall perturbation range will be the same for the layer. The purpose is to obfuscate actual locations in a data set.
I have not been able to locate anything that will do this. I can use the Update All capabilities on the attribute table to get values for an attribute, e.g. attribute_x = $x+randf(100.0,500.0) but I am not clear on how to push this back to the actual x coordinate of the point. Any suggestions, including python scripting, plugins, or other approaches, will be welcome. Thanks in advance. Dick Males Cincinnati, OH USA
