[Qgis-developer] New plugin: Edge Densifier

Hello:

Some times you need polygons with denser edges. Your map looks fine in
the 2D environment of QGis but when you need to convert your polygons
to 3D meshes so they can be shown in the globe, long lines should be
converted in arcs. A practical solution is just to add more vertices
to long lines in 2D.

You can use it by editing a polygon layer. I will appreciate any comment.

It works with a dialog for which you have to know in advance the
feature id and vertex index. I'd like to improve it in a way that if
you are using the Node Tool, when you select a vertex, my plugin's
dialog updates those inputs. Any idea?

Another solution I would like is an automatic polygon densifier which
add vertices depending on the length of the edges, not fixed like the
current FTools densify.

You can get the plugin from here until it is approved in the main repository.

Thanks in advance for any hint.
