[Qgis-user] Atlas: Filter Empty Pages

[Uwe Fischer]

Hello Albin,

you need to filter out the empty elements (grid cells) in the coverage layer (those ones that have no overlap to the points). After that you can swap the selection set to get the non-empty grid cells that are to be printed and give those (as memory layer if no repeated use) to the atlas generator as new coverage layer.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

UWE FISCHER

Betreff: [Qgis-user] Atlas: Filter Empty Pages


Hello List!

I am starting to use the Atlas feature for the first time and had the following problem:
I have a coverage-layer (a vector grid) and a point layer (collection sites). At the moment, there are grid cells in which no site (point) is located.
My problem is: I would like to filter those "empty" atlas-elements/pages out. In other words, if the atlas-page contains no element of the point layer, it should not get printed/produced.
I tried myself and failed, I googled and failed...

Is this possible and if yes, how?

Thanks in advance,
Albin
