Hi all, and sorry for cross-posting (my first contact with the list ;) I'm interested too in connecting dots, but in a different perspective, I'd like to connect several centroids (of habitat patches) to draw and analysize a habitat network (spatial graph) and related connectivity. Until now I

Hey Giovanni et al., Yup, you correctly described the situation, a series of points with associated times that I want to link in order. Should be pretty straightforward. The birds I track like to complicate things a bit by weaving back and forth across 180° but that is a side issue. An

Hi Declan, I had the same need some time ago, but than I decided to follow different ways in my analysis so I didn't went on on with this. You're talking about migration paths, so I suppose you have temporal attributes on your points, or some other kind of sequential index that makes points

As a workaround, and assuming you can make your way around PostGIS, the following might do what you're looking for: http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ST_MakeLine.html quote: Examples: Spatial Aggregate version This example takes a sequence of GPS points and creates one record for each gps

Is there a mean in QGIS to convert a series of points to a polyline? I would like to create some tracklines from series of telemetry points to summarize movement/migration paths. I hope I've overlooked something but the commands I see tend to be dissolution rather than aggregation of
