Hi, I wanted to give a short feedback. Finally my solution for qgis 1.8 with some help from Anita was to create a buffer polygon around the point as a memory layer and calculated the mean value with QgsZonalStatistics. Here is the code I used, maybe useful for others:
from qgis.analysis import QgsZonalStatistics from PyQt4.QtGui import * vpoly = QgsVectorLayer("Polygon", "pointbuffer", "memory") feature = QgsFeature() feature.setGeometry( QgsGeometry.fromPoint(QgsPoint(3517601,5406205)).buffer(10000,5)) provider = vpoly.dataProvider() vpoly.startEditing() provider.addFeatures( [feature] ) vpoly.commitChanges() stats=qgis.analysis.QgsZonalStatistics(vpoly,"/path/to/rasterlayer.tif") stats.calculateStatistics(None) allAttrs = provider.attributeIndexes() provider.select(allAttrs) provider.nextFeature(feature) attrs = feature.attributeMap() for (k,attr) in attrs.iteritems(): if k==2: QMessageBox.information(qgis.utils.iface.mainWindow(),'Info',attr.toString()) Regards Otto Am Wed, 3 Jul 2013 09:36:45 +0200 schrieb Otto Dassau <das...@gbd-consult.de>: > Hi Fred, > > thanks for the hints, A and B sound interesting - PostGIS is not an option > here. > > One more question, because you already used these workarounds.
