Hi Mike, you can use QAD plugin, run POLYGON command to draw a regular polygon. The command will ask the following parameters:
Enter number of sides <4>: 4 Specify center of polygon or [Edge]: Enter an option [Inscribed in circle/Circumscribed about circle/Area] <Circumscribed about circle>: Circumscribed about circle Specify the circle radius <100>: 100 The radius of the circle will correspond to the square dimension. if the center of the polygon is specified in a coordinate reference system different from the current one: - if the coordinate reference system is projected: enter x,y (SRID). For example 1491621.64817, 4915622.63154 (EPSG:3003) is a point with coordinate X=1491621.64817 and Y=4915622.63154 in the projected coordinate reference system EPSG:3003 - if the coordinate reference system is geographic: enter latitude, longitude (SRID). For example 44º 24' 48N/ 08º 50' 15E (EPSG:4326) is a point with latitude 44 degrees 24 minutes 48 seconds and longitude 6 degrees 50 minutes 15 seconds in the geographic coordinate reference system EPSG:4326. gam17 > Good Morning > > I am trying to create a square 1km X 1km around a central point that > has GPS coordinates. > > I have tried every suggestion and plugin suggested but am struggling. > > This is intended to be used with students as part of their science > field work once I figure out what I am doing wrong. > > Thank you in advance for your help. > > Mike Jabot > > ************************************* > > Michael Jabot, Ph.D. > SUNY Distinguished Professor, Science Education > > US Partner - GLOBE Program > > NASA Earth Ambassador > > Director, Institute for Research in Science Teaching > > Chancellor's Award Recipient for Excellence in Research > The State University of New York at Fredonia > > 716.320-0189 (Google Voice) > > ja...@fredonia.edu > > E250 Thompson Hall > 280 Central Avenue > > Fredonia, NY 14063 > ************************************* > _______________________________________________ > Qgis-user mailing list > Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org > List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user > Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
