[Qgis-user] Export polygon coordinates qgis

[Lester Anderson]

Hi Tomasz,

This is easy to do.

Go into edit mode and select the feature(s) you want (highlighted yellow
usually). Open the attribute table for the polygon shapefile and click
"copy slected rows to clipboard" (4th icon from the right on the toolbar).

Copy this into a text editor and you get something like this:

wkt_geom    id
POLYGON((-2.72439024390243922 1.60975609756097571,-2.72439024390243922
1.95121951219512213,-1.77073170731707341
2.02926829268292686,-1.57073170731707323
1.42926829268292699,-2.21951219512195141
1.06341463414634152,-2.72439024390243922 1.60975609756097571))    1

Just edit this file to leave the X, Y coordinates and away you go!
Coordinate pairs are separated by commas.

Cheers
Lester
