QGIS Algorithm provided by QGIS (native c++) Random extract (native:randomextract). This algorithm takes a vector layer and generates a new one that contains only a subset of the features in the input layer. The subset is defined randomly, using a percentage or count value to define the total number of features in the subset. —————- Notes —————- - This algorithm drops existing primary keys or FID values and regenerates them in output layers.

Arguments

INPUT

source - Input layer. Path to a vector layer.

METHOD

enum of ("Number of features", "Percentage of features") - Method. Number of selected option, e.g. '1'. Comma separated list of options, e.g. '1,3'.

NUMBER

number - Number/percentage of features. A numeric value. 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.

OUTPUT

sink - Extracted (random). 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.
