Re: [Qgis-user] Clipping tool takes a lot of time

Hi, I have just solved the clipping by using v.overlay which gave reasonable processing time. My experience is that qgis:clip and qgis:difference is quite slow when it comes to clipping lines by polygon. Best regards, Jonas 2014-10-16 11:29 GMT+02:00 Filipe Dias filipesd...@gmail.com: Yes,

Yes, convert format is based on ogr2ogr but I dont think it can be modified to do clip. Why don't you try running ogr2ogr from the command line? You need to navigate to the directory where both your shapefiles are stored and run the code just like in the blog post. I tried on Linux but it should

Hi, to check that my data was ok I tried a clip tool in ArcMap where the same calcuation took exactly 10 seconds. After some modifications in my script and using the 'qgis:difference' algorithm, processing time was reduced to about 5 minutes, quite acceptable. Thank you for helping me sort this

I am also using QGIS 2.4 64b Chugiak on Windows 7. The same thing happens to me. Even when I create a line layer with only 11 lines and try to clip 3 of them with a polygon layer, the progress bar just goes back and forth for ever. I didn't run it for hours to see what would eventually happen.
