[Qgis-user] connect the dots

[Declan Troy]

Hey Richard,

Thanks for the response. Indeed fTools was the first place I looked  
as it seemed the type of functionality that might be there. Perhaps  
some day, or maybe in the rumored Ecological toolbox?

Seemed like the type of operation that many users might have cause to  
use so I was hoping there was an easy way I was just overlooking but  
perhaps I misjudged. Once I get around to learning to write python  
plugins this should be a nice project to start on. Until then I can  
do this outside of QGIS, I'm just periodically attempting to see how  
far I can get in the hopes of shifting over. Each version keeps  
getting better.

Declan
