[Qgis-developer] New feature's needed, create geometry from attribute

[Régis Haubourg]

Hey Regis,

I think a Layer -> Create Geometry Layer menu item would be a great idea
for non geometry layers.

Wouldn't be that hard to do I don't think.

Sqlite might be the best format as it's light and flexible.  If you want
something dynamic i.e change the data, updates the points, then maybe a
plugin layer would be best. I am planning on adding the ability to define
data provider in Python for 2.1, I do have working code just can't commit
it, which I think would work well here.  It would wrap the other layers
dataprovider and just return the geometry on the fly.

We could make it 2.1.

Regards,
Nathan



that looks nice! SQLITE is a data duplication.. so could be hard to maintain
sync with datasource. 
Opinions about relying on a vrt ?
