[Qgis-user] How to do square buffers around points (shapefile)

[Tina Cormier]

Thumbs up to Eddison's reply - I just did this yesterday, and it works
beautifully! For those English speakers, the process is to:

1. Vector -> Geoprocessing -> Buffer, which will create your typical round
buffer.
2. Vector -> Research Tools -> Polygon from layer extent - will give you a
square. If you have multiple points, you'll want to check the option
"calculate extent for each feature separately."

Gracias!
Tina
