Also, confirm that you have the complete set of files of shapefile. You must have (at least) a .SHP, a .SHX and a .DBF with the same name. Best regards, Alexandre Neto On Mon, Jan 6, 2014 at 6:00 AM, Frank Sokolic soko...@worldonline.co.zawrote: Hi Matt, Are you using the Add Vector Layer

[Qgis-user] Shifting overlapping points

2014-01-06 Thread Martin Gibson
Hi, I'm more familiar with ArcGIS than QGIS but starting to shift over to using QGIS for most/all work. One thing I had been using QGIS for anyway was shifting overlaid points, as I couldn't get Arc to do this. I was using the ShiftPoints plugin, but it doesn't appear to be available for 2.0 - I

Hi Martin, Sorry - can't help with the plugin issue. But are you aware that QGIS comes with a builtin method for that problem that shifts the points on the fly during rendering rather than manipulating the underlying data? It is called the point displacement renderer and should be available in

Thanks Alexander. I can't see points displacement on my install. Under QGIS Geoalgorithms → Vector geometry tools I have 18 algorithms available to me, but not that one. Will investigate further to see if I can find why it is missing. Martin On 6 January 2014 12:52, Alexander Bruy

Maybe your QGIS is too old. This algorithm was added after releasing QGIS 2.0.1. You can upgrade Processing plugin via Plugin manager or, alternatively, install nightly build of QGIS. 2014/1/6 Martin Gibson mar...@creativeinterpretation.co.uk: Thanks Alexander. I can't see points displacement

I can confirm - I don't have it either on my install of 2.0.1 (ubuntu) I found a separate points by direction tool under SAGA Shapes - points. Not sure if that is useful or what. Martin - One of the things I used to do in ArcGIS (this depends on level of licensing) was using topology. You
