Dear list,
I’ve created a csv-file with coordinates in WKT-format by exporting a polygon
layer with the “Save object as …”-option (“Objekte speichern als …” in the
German QGIS version). I need this for querying data from GBIF via their API
using JSON input. That has worked for the last years. But using the same JSON
files this year gives an error because the point order is clockwise. I’ve found
that according to the OGC standard the order should be counter clockwise for
polygons and clockwise for excluded areas inside a polygon. It seems as if GBIF
is following this standard now.
Would it be possible to follow the OGC standard in the QGIS export, too? This
would reduce the amount of rework after each export.
First thing I thought: this would be a nice simple plugin :-)
"Just download features from GBIF api"..
Did not check, but found:
https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgisgbifapi/
Have not tried/tested, but maybe that is an option too?
Regards,
Richard Duivenvoorde
