[Qgis-user] extracting coordinates for multiple points

[Jens Kruger]

Hi,

I have digitised some points on a map. I have edited the attribute table 
to hold columns named latitude and longitude. I would like to fill these 
columns with the corresponding coordinates of the points. Something like 
'update column latitude with centroid(y) from object'.

I can work around this using the 'coordinate capture' plugin, but it is 
really not suitable as I have many points.

If there is no straight forward solution perhaps Python can help? But I 
would be unsure where to start.

Many thanks in advance for your help, Jens
