Dear All,<br>
<br>
Today I got a mail from one of our users mentioning that the plugin
"Rectangles ovals digitizing" is broken. He first contacted the
plugin author and it seems he is not currently supporting it. I made
the changes so that the plugin works now. How can we can update the
same fix in the contributed plugins repository? Is it hosted on
github where a pull request can be issued? I am sure quite a few
people would be using it.<br>
<br>
Anyway, the fix is quite simple. Just a line in the canvasmove event
for all methods(except rotategeometry) in rectovaldigittools.py<br>
<br>
Like this..<br>
<br>
#[self.rb.addPoint( point ) for point in polygon]<br>
self.rb.setToGeometry(QgsGeometry.fromPolygon([polygon]), None)<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Vinayan<br>

Dear Gerhard,
It is a nice plugin indeed. I checked it and it had the same errors you
mentioned.I have fixed its issues and attached it. Please check.
I will send a mail to the dev list to know how we can update the same
fix in the repository.
Thanks
