QGIS Algorithm provided by QGIS (native c++) Transect (native:transect). This algorithm creates transects on vertices for (multi)linestring. A transect is a line oriented from an angle (by default perpendicular) to the input polylines (at vertices). Field(s) from feature(s) are returned in the transect with these new fields: - TR_FID: ID of the original feature - TR_ID: ID of the transect. Each transect have an unique ID - TR_SEGMENT: ID of the segment of the linestring - TR_ANGLE: Angle in degrees from the original line at the vertex - TR_LENGTH: Total length of the transect returned - TR_ORIENT: Side of the transect (only on the left or right of the line, or both side) —————- 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.

LENGTH

distance - Length of the transect. 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.

ANGLE

number - Angle in degrees from the original line at the vertices. 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.

SIDE

enum of ("Left", "Right", "Both") - Side to create the transects. Number of selected option, e.g. '1'. Comma separated list of options, e.g. '1,3'.

OUTPUT

sink - Transect. 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.
