Hi Victor That sounds excellent! Thank you very much! Maybe I should mention, that the userfriendly cleaning option through Sextante, will make me even more confident to promote QGIS as the most appropriate GIS for the field biologists in my institute... Cheers Stefan -- View this message in

Hi Hope I am not too bothersome with that topic... Unfortunately, Sextante 1.09 was hidden in my OSGeo4W installation behind the old 1.07, so it took me a while to find the "advanced parameters". Actually, both Sextante versions were installed in parallel, which I was not aware of (neither the fa

Thanks Bernd and Victor That is exactly what I ment. So, +1 from me for an import/export-wrapper! Two more aspects in that regards: The one is, that if you for example run v.clean through Sextante on a polygon layer containing polygons with overlapping areas, the overlapp errors are (silently) cl

Hi Paolo Thanks for the swift reply! Sounds sounds really good. What I did not understand completely was: Do you mean that the default settings of v.in.ogr are being used (snapping disabled and min_area set to 0.0001) or is the topology cleaning completely disabled in the v.in.ogr-part of Sextant

[Qgis-user] Running v.clean on a QGIS vector layer (Polygon) through Sextante

2013-04-30 Thread SBL
Dear all I was wondering: When I run v.clean on a QGIS vector layer through Sextante, a temporary GRASS location is created, the GRASS topology for the QIS-layer is build, v.clean applied and the result exported to shape, am I right? That is in general really very useful. Especially because (Q)GI

Hi Gerardo Now I tried with 15 pixels snapping threshold on QGIS 1.9-Master. Maybe the problem occures less often, but it still occures... Cheers Stefan -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Polygon-digitalization-tp5040680p5041549.html Sent from the Quantum GIS

Hi Marco I had not tried for a while and just followed the discussion and activity regarding this issue. Tonight I tried again both on QGIS 1.8 and 1.9 through OSGeo4w on Windows 7 (64 bit). I updated QGIS-dev (to Code revision 32de07d) before testing and can still recreate the behavior, regardles

Hi Bert I know quite a few people (including me) who ran into the same, pretty anoying, problem. And in general it is a known issue. See: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/2921 Did I understand you correctly that you already tried the workaround Marco suggests at the end of the ticket? This would indica
