<p dir="ltr">Hi,<br>
I remember a french made plugin made for heath sciences that had that option to fuzz data position within a certain radius. I can't look now because of my internet connection. I you can't find it, I can check tomorrow if you hail me. Look in mmqgis plugin, there could be something there also.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hope this help<br>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>I would like to perturb all the point locations on a layer by a random amount within a range, from say 100 feet to 500 feet. Each point should be individually perturbed with different values for the x and y, but the overall perturbation range will be the same for the layer. The purpose is to obfuscate actual locations in a data set. <br /><br />I have not been able to locate anything that will do this. I can use the Update All capabilities on the attribute table to get values for an attribute, e.g. attribute_x = $x+randf(100.0,500.0) but I am not clear on how to push this back to the actual x coordinate of the point.<br /><br />Any suggestions, including python scripting, plugins, or other approaches, will be welcome.<br /><br /></div>Thanks in advance.<br /><br /></div>Dick Males<br /></div>Cincinnati, OH USA<br /></div>
