It's funny. All answers here, are (in my experience), for the average beginner user too complex.
I have been thinking about creating a 'SimpleGeometryBuilder'-plugin or so. But... it is getting more complex very soon: One because they do often not have a layer yet, so a proper layer should be created (like in the WKT-plugin)... OR added to an existing layer (of the same type). AND we do need the crs (but could for example check if coord values are <180 and then decide on EPSG:4326 automagically.. But, in our region, one pastes numbers from with comma as decimal separator, so it should be possible to choose that.. And I would also want it to be possible to give 4 coordinate pairs and then decide if these are 4 individual points, or should form a line or a polygon... I would be still interested in creating such plugin, if enough interest. But maybe I overlooked and something like this is already there, OR those users should just use to 1) create a layer+crs first 2) use the edit/vertex tools of QGIS... A screenshot is added as quick draw up in qdesigner, but if others have better idea's let me know Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde On 15-02-2025 04:51, Phil Wyatt via QGIS-User wrote:
Hi Iain, You can also select the node tool and then select ‘Show vertex editor” and use that to change the coordinates of a selected point *From:*QGIS-User <[email protected]> *On Behalf Of *IainS via QGIS-User *Sent:* Saturday, 15 February 2025 9:57 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* [Qgis-user] Creating a point Is it possible to create a point an located it by inputting its Xand Y coordinates? I had one point to put in and I assumed that there was an option to create the point and then locate it by adding X Y coordinates because you can do that sort of thing while georeferencing a map. But I couldn’t find out how to do it. Does anybody know how to do it? Frustratedly *Dr Iain Stuart* */JCIS Consultants /* */President Royal Australian Historical Society/* P.O.
