[Qgis-user] bug?

[Saber Razmjooei]

Here is a nicer tool from GIS-Lab:
http://gis-lab.info/qa/extract-values-rasters.html
(make sure you hit translate on top of the page from russian to english)
According to my test (almost 300,000 points on a 25 metre terrain) it
takes 20x less compared with the point sampling tool.

Some of other benefits:
 - It can directly outputs to csv without adding it to dbf (that's what
you need I guess)
 - Multiple rasters
 - Shell based so you can write lots of scripts


Let us know if you have problems installing or using the tool.

Cheers
Saber
