Re: [Qgis-user] Polygon from 4 points

Another common solution to this type of problem is to open the .csv file in a spreadsheet program (eg, Excel) and use string functions to write a new text field containing a WKT representation of your desired geometry. Save the edited file back as a .csv file, then open it in QGIS as a delimited text layer, selecting Well known text in the Geometry section.

I have a csv/table that has a single row that contains some metadata as well as four SEPARATE columns, x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4 of decimal degree coordinates.

I want to import all of this data into QGIS and create a polygon from the four points as a vector layer.  

What is the best way to do this?  I'm not a programmer or scripter really and fairly new to QGIS.  

Thanks!
