[Qgis-user] Create polygons with attributes from csv-file

[Nicolas Cadieux]

If you import the CSV as point in QGIS or in a spread sheet, you can easily separate them using the forest ID. In Qgis, you can save them to a shape file and then use the forest ID to split the shape file into different parts (vector menu). 
Then, you could use your method of triangulation.  
I also remember a plugin that will chain point into polygons.  Don't know the name but search for something like point to line or point to polygons.  
Python will also permit you to do that directly but I would try first to find a plugin that does it for you. I would help more but I am far from a PC.

	Dear QGIS-users,
I have a csv-file containing the corner coordinates of different forests
with different heights. The file is structured like this:
FID,forest_id,point_id,X,Y,height
1,forest1,point1,10.915763,54.137004,25
2,forest1,point2,10.917392,54.138734,25
3,forest1,point3,10.915822,54.140197,25
4,forest1,point4,10.913504,54.140824,25
5,forest1,point5,10.913541,54.138637,25
6,forest2,point1,10.897562,54.150324,20
7,forest2,point2,10.897907,54.149662,20
8,forest2,point3,10.900432,54.148912,20
9,forest2,point4,10.901194,54.149092,20
Now I want to make two polygons from the two different forests
containing the attribute height. If I had only one forest I would create
a voronoi diagram and a delaunay triangulation and clipper them. But it
would be too time consuming to do that for every forest, as I usually
have rather 10 forests or more. Is there a way to get this done if all
forests are in one csv-dataset only separated by there forest_id?
Thank you and sorry for the first mail, which was not yet finished.
Best wishes
Nicole
