Create Points Around

Create points at given distance from points from input layer that span from minimal to maximal angle with 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 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
Determines density of point placement between Minimal angle and Maximal angle. Angular distance of points. Number of points will be (Maximal angle - Minimal angle) / AngleStep.
Distance Distance [number]

Default:
10
How far from the original point the new points should be created.
Output layer OutputLayer [vector: point] Output layer containing points.

Outputs

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

Fields in the output layer

  • 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
