Hi all,
two days ago I wrote a similar plugin for a LD talk in Pisa.
I was unaware of the QgsSpatialIndex class (seems there's no documentation
about it in the online QGis API pages or maybe I missed it) so I wrote a
simple
loop to find the closest feature.
Now I tried also the Nearest plugin and they are different behavior!
See the scheenshots [1] [2].
AFAICS, Nearest select a wrong polygon.
I see the plugin's code and I think it could a QgsSpatialIndex bug, but it
could be
also the normal behaviour (I didn't found its documentation on the API pages
so I don't know).
I'm going to add my plugin (ClosestFeatureFinded) to the Faunalia repo so
you
can try it and check the different behavior.
I hope this can help to find the bug (if any).
If you confirm it, I'll fill a bug report.
Cheers.

there is some strange behaviour when using it with polygon features (at
least I think it's a bit strange): sometimes when you click into a polygon I
would expect that it selects the polygon I clicked into but it selects an
adjacent polygon. This is probably due to the nearestNeighbor method of the
spatial index. Since the two neighboring polygons share a common border the
distance would be equal but the spatial index does not check if the
coordindates of the mouse click lies within one of the two polygons.

Stefan,
I was looking for the same functionality as Zoran so have
also been working with your Nearest plugin. It is exactly
what I need and seems to work well.
Thanks!
Jim

Hi Zoran
I had some time left, took all
my code snippets and also the one from Carson. Please try
the plugin Nearest that should cover your example 1:

what you're looking for? I came across it while trying to
get Quantum
Navigator working recently...seemed relative, but I'm no
expert!
This is similar to the mentioned solution with
selecting by radius, or changing the tolerance of ID tool.
Close, but no cigar. Since this is not very urgent, I've
decided to continue pursuing that outlined solution Carson
gave, and write a plugin i Python based on that. Since I
actually never used Python before, it may take a while,
but hey, I get to learn sth. new :-).
I never got the word back from Carson, has he developed
anything along these lines, but I have to presume he
didn't...
Anyone interested in joning me, or even earning some
money, is still invited to jump on board. My GIS
implementation project is well on the way, and it seems
there'll even be some money involved :-).

Hi Zoran,
I believe the infrastructure of what you want is
already wihtin the
selection and identify tools in QGIS. Isn't this
almost implemented in the
current identify tool?
It sort of is, but not completely. Identify will ID
all the features within
certain radios (percentage of extent), but it will ID
_all_ of the features
within this radius. I only need the nearest, no matter
