Re: [Qgis-user] Running v.clean on a QGIS vector layer (Polygon) through Sextante

Hi Victor That sounds excellent! Thank you very much! Maybe I should mention, that the userfriendly cleaning option through Sextante, will make me even more confident to promote QGIS as the most appropriate GIS for the field biologists in my institute... Cheers Stefan -- View this message in

Hi Victor, Maybe a wrapper of v.in.ogr can be added, to do just import (which includes cleaning), and then export the cleaned layer. Would that make sense to you? yes! That makes sense for me. Actually, this feature has been already asked for by someone some months ago, but seems to have

Just retried it, and it seems to work now. A month ago, it definitely didn't. I tested it there myself, to no avail: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/54388/grass-v-clean-snap-with-polygons Ok, Sextante seems to have changed a lot recently and i have to admit that i lost the overview.

Hi Hope I am not too bothersome with that topic... Unfortunately, Sextante 1.09 was hidden in my OSGeo4W installation behind the old 1.07, so it took me a while to find the advanced parameters. Actually, both Sextante versions were installed in parallel, which I was not aware of (neither the

Considering the comments in this thread, I think the best solution would be to add more advanced parameters to allow more fine tuning for users like you. That would include the option to perform several cleaning operations at once, and also the option to select output type. Since it is an advanced

Dear all I was wondering: When I run v.clean on a QGIS vector layer through Sextante, a temporary GRASS location is created, the GRASS topology for the QIS-layer is build, v.clean applied and the result exported to shape, am I right? That is in general really very useful. Especially because

Since GRASS applies som cleaning, at least when importing Polygons, is there a possibility to adjust the cleaning procedure from v.in.ogr there? Not advisable: the user must know if it is going to snap or remove small areas. Click on show advanced paramters, and you will have two new

Hi Paolo Thanks for the swift reply! Sounds sounds really good. What I did not understand completely was: Do you mean that the default settings of v.in.ogr are being used (snapping disabled and min_area set to 0.0001) or is the topology cleaning completely disabled in the v.in.ogr-part of

Bernd, there is no v.in.ogr, because it is used *always* when you use a vector layer with SEXTANTE and GRASS, to import the layer into GRASS, and then produce a result. Maybe a wrapper of v.in.ogr can be added, to do just import (which includes cleaning), and then export the cleaned layer. Would
