[Qgis-developer] [Plugin presentation] LayerBender

[Denis Rouzaud]

Hi Olivier,

Once more, you did a really great job!

I just wonder about the technique when you have enough points (>7).
In case of mathcing old to new plans, isn't it better to do an affine 
transformation (scale, translation and rotation) using least-squares 
rather than doing a triangulation?
You might have better visual results with the triangulation, but the 
affine would lead to more coherent results.

Cheers,

Denis
