[Qgis-user] Rotate feature

[M.E.Dodd]

When designing field experiments having the ability to duplicate and rotate or move around a set of points or other features would be very useful.

Is it possible to rotate a grop of selected points

in a similar way as it is done with "move feature"?

If you want to use spatialite, have a look at:

Also PostGIS has a full featured ST_Rotate() function.
Hi Giovanni
Thanks for the response.






yes it can be done inside the DB but I guess that for most of the users

having such tool in the editing toolbar would be great.



I recently had to do some digitizing work (starting from an already

existing work) to do a land use map and I also felt the lack of tools

like:



* fill hole/fill space (space between polygons)

* add ring+automatic fill

* a tool to help remove overlapped areas
These are all probably more useful (or "in demand") than a tool to rotate a features. I thought this specific case that Agus brought up would be quite rare in general geoprocessing, so it's good to see there is a procedure that can handle it, even tho' it's not a one-click GUI tools.




Just in case I already filed tickets with feature requests.





cheers
