Hi Nyall, Just out of curiosity, would a very large polygon slow down a spatial query or would just a complex one? My testing with using shapefiles to reclassify LiDAR data did show that things could be sped up by splitting large polygons with a smaller grid but I had attributed this to the com

Hi, To my knowledge no. The second option would be a polygone that covers the earth but that has a hole in it. That is the Generally accepted topology in GIS. Nicolas Cadieux Ça va bien aller! > Le 16 juin 2020 à 10:28, Tudorache, Marian a > écrit : > > Hi everyone, > > I have a list

Hi everyone, I have a list of polygons given by a list of points. The polygons are properly drawn on QGIS canvas by creating the geometries, the each geometry is used to create a Qgsfeature which are saved on a shapefile. The problem appears in detecting if a point on the Earth is inside or outsi
