Create Points Around

Creates points at a specified distance from points in the input layer, spanning from a minimal to a maximal angle with a specified angle step.

The default values create points from angle 0 (north) to angle 359 (almost north) by one 1 degree, which means 360 points (one point per degree).

Parameters

Label	Name	Type	Description
Input point layer	`InputLayer`	[vector: point]	Point layer around which the new points will be created.
ID field to assign to output	`IdField`	[tablefield: numeric]	Field value to assign to `id_original_point` for the new layer.
Minimal angle	`AngleStart`	[number] Default: `0`	Angle (azimuth) at which the generation of points should start.
Maximal angle	`AngleEnd`	[number] Default: `359`	Angle (azimuth) at which the generation of points should end.
Angle step	`AngleStep`	[number] Default: `1`	DDetermines the density of point placement between `AngleStart` and `AngleEnd`. The angular distance between points. The number of points will be (`AngleEnd` - `AngleStart`) / `AngleStep`.
Distance	`Distance`	[number] Default: `10`	Distance from the original point at which the new points should be created.
Output layer	`OutputLayer`	[vector: point]	Output layer containing the new points.

Label	Name	Type	Description
Output layer	`OutputLayer`	[vector: point]	Output layer containing the new points.

id_original_point - integer - value from field specified in ID field to assign to output
azimuth - double - azimuth from original point to the given output point
angle_step_between_points - double - azimuth step between individual points
