[Qgis-user] New Shape Tools Processing Algorithms

[C Hamilton]

I added two new Shape Tools (https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/shapetools/)
processing algorithms. Shape Tools has a number of geodesic shapes that can
be generated from a point vector layer using parameters from the processing
dialog box or from the vector layer's attribute table. What Shape Tools has
lacked is the ability to click on a location and generate a shape at that
location.

I am testing out the capability of doing this from a processing algorithm
using QgsProcessingParameterPoint. I would like your reaction to this
capability. Is it worth doing this for the other primitive shapes?

The two new algorithms draw a concentric band or donut shape about the
clicked canvas point. I also added a processing algorithm to generate N
number of concentric circles with optional radial lines. This is somewhat
similar to the ArcGIS "Generate Range Rings" function. Here is an example

Let me know what you think about these kinds of algorithms.

Thanks,
Calvin
