2.2.59. Generate a set of squares with transects

This tool creates a set of square grids (polygons) and a transect for the territory.

Inputs:

  • Coordinates of the first point (center of the first cell), in decimal degrees, example 40.415378, -3.688743

  • Coordinates of the second point that indicates direction, in decimal degrees, example 40.417436, -3.683170

  • Size 1 - Number of cells on the first axis

  • Size 2 - Number of cells on the second axis

  • Side - Cell generation side right or left

  • Cell size - The size of a cell’s side, in meters

The result of the process is a set of layers:

  • rect1 - a grid of cells “Size 1” by “Size 2”, the center of the first cell is at the point 1

  • rect2 - a grid of smaller cells (i.e. each large cell is divided into 4 parts)

  • line1 - transect lines in the direction perpendicular to the line between points 1 and 2

  • line2 - transect lines in the direction parallel to the line between points 1 and 2

  • centers - cell centers of rect1 grid

Styles for all the layers are also included as QML files.
