QGIS Algorithm provided by QGIS Convert geometry type (qgis:convertgeometrytype). This algorithm generates a new layer based on an existing one, with a different type of geometry. Not all conversions are possible. For instance, a line layer can be converted to a point layer, but a point layer cannot be converted to a line layer. See the "Polygonize" or "Lines to polygons" algorithm for alternative options.

qgis_convertgeometrytype(
  INPUT = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  TYPE = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  OUTPUT = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  ...,
  .complete_output = .complete_output_option(),
  .quiet = .quiet_option(),
  .messages = .message_option()
)

Arguments

INPUT

source - Input layer. Path to a vector layer.

TYPE

enum of ("Centroids", "Nodes", "Linestrings", "Multilinestrings", "Polygons") - New geometry type. Number of selected option, e.g. '1'. Comma separated list of options, e.g. '1,3'.

OUTPUT

sink - Converted. 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.
