[Qgis-developer] QGIS Plugin - Ovals

[Chris Crook]

I have published a plugin called vectorfieldrenderer which plots arrows with orientation and scale based field values.  I wrote this for plotting deformation (eg ground moment as a result of an earthquake).  I've been thinking about adding ellipses to it for a while (to represent the measurement errors of the deformation) - and will probably be doing this in the next month or so.  However that may not be quite what you want (either the feature or the time frame!).  One feature of the plugin is that there is a toolbar to allow the user to rescale the arrows, something that is very useful when looking at deformation.

Pity I haven't put the ellipses in already!
 
Cheers
Chris

Dear QGIS Developers,

I have long hoped for a plugin to create ovals based on a point layer. It would ideally have the ability to select orientation in degrees, width and length (with values contained in fields also available).

I notice that Pavol Kapusta created an excellent plugin called ‘Rectangles’ in the contributed repo to do exactly what it describes, but has anyone tried ovals?

I am not a python developer myself, so I am not used to the language. However, if anyone is able to come up with a ‘simple’ (dare I say it) plugin, or has created one before and it has not yet reached a repo, I would be very grateful to hear from you.

Many thanks,

Rob
