QGIS Algorithm provided by QGIS Check validity (qgis:checkvalidity). This algorithm performs a validity check on the geometries of a vector layer. The geometries are classified in three groups (valid, invalid and error), and a vector layer is generated with the features in each of these categories. By default the algorithm uses the strict OGC definition of polygon validity, where a polygon is marked as invalid if a self-intersecting ring causes an interior hole. If the "Ignore ring self intersections" option is checked, then this rule will be ignored and a more lenient validity check will be performed. The GEOS method is faster and performs better on larger geometries, but is limited to only returning the first error encountered in a geometry. The QGIS method will be slower but reports all errors encountered in the geometry, not just the first.

Arguments

INPUT_LAYER

source - Input layer. Path to a vector layer.

METHOD

enum of ("The one selected in digitizing settings", "QGIS", "GEOS") - Method. Number of selected option, e.g. '1'. Comma separated list of options, e.g. '1,3'.

IGNORE_RING_SELF_INTERSECTION

boolean - Ignore ring self intersections. 1 for true/yes. 0 for false/no. field:FIELD_NAME to use a data defined value taken from the FIELD_NAME field. expression:SOME EXPRESSION to use a data defined value calculated using a custom QGIS expression.

VALID_OUTPUT

sink - Valid output. Path for new vector layer.

INVALID_OUTPUT

sink - Invalid output. Path for new vector layer.

ERROR_OUTPUT

sink - Error output. Path for new vector layer.

further parameters passed to qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm()

.complete_output

logical specifying if complete out of qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be used (TRUE) or first output (most likely the main) should read (FALSE). Default value is TRUE.

.quiet

logical specifying if parameter .quiet for qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() Default value is TRUE.

.messages

logical specifying if messages from qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be printed (TRUE) or not (FALSE). Default value is FALSE.
