QGIS algorithm - Split lines by maximum length

Source: R/qgis_splitlinesbylength.R

QGIS Algorithm provided by QGIS (native c++) Split lines by maximum length (native:splitlinesbylength). Splits lines into parts which are no longer than a specified length. This algorithm takes a line (or curve) layer and splits each feature into multiple parts, where each part is of a specified maximum length. Z and M values at the start and end of the new line substrings are linearly interpolated from existing values. —————- Notes —————- - This algorithm drops existing primary keys or FID values and regenerates them in output layers.

qgis_splitlinesbylength(
  INPUT = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  LENGTH = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  OUTPUT = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),

  .quiet = .quiet_option(),
  .messages = .message_option()
)

Arguments

INPUT

source - Input layer. Path to a vector layer.

LENGTH

distance - Maximum line length. 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 - Split. 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.
