Hi,

just a question: are you trying to superimpose this on top of the out-of-the-box node tool or are you planning on creating a new tool that copies the node tool?

The first is not so simple I assume, the second either (plus it does not make too much sense to rewrite core functionality in Python). Apart from that I would be sceptical because with mouse moves the users will never achieve their target area.

I see two possible solutions apart from making a plugin of your own:
1) label the polygon with its area; after a node is moved the label is updated so users can approximate their desired target area. 2) try DigitizingTools plugin; there is a function to move a node or a polygon side to achieve a target area. If you need other funtionality there you are invited to contribute.

Hi
Isn't there already such plugin? I haven't used it yet but you can give
a look to CalcArea plugin and see how it deals with that.

Objet : [Qgis-developer] Show area of a polygon while editing with node tool
Date : jeu., oct. 16, 2014 09:38

Hi everybody,

I'm developing a python plugin.
Now the users of the plugin want to see the area of a polygon while editing
it with the node tool because they need to have polygons with a specific
area.
Means they move a node and the area changes while moving the node.
Is there an easy way to manage this? Are there already any examples?

Thx for your help

regards

Michael
