[Qgis-developer] Vector Overlay now in Trunk?

[Andreas Neumann]

yes - there are the placement algorithm options - as a separate tab in the
QGIS options.

However, I am not so sure if this should be a global setting. Shouldn't
this be layer-specific?

One layer probably should use this placement algorithm, while a different
layer might require a different placement algorithm. As an example a layer
with fewer diagrams may want to use a more sophisticated algorithm, while
a layer with lots of diagrams may want to use a faster algorithm. Also,
there may be different quality requirements for different layers or
projects.

So in my opinion the algorithm choice should be layer specific. Any
thoughts on why this is not a good idea?
