[Qgis-user] qgis 2.8 : move overlayed points ?

[McDonaldR]

Hello Image93

You could query your layer and group by coordinate to get a count of the number of points with the same location.  QGIS can display overlaid points using blending modes (multiply) so that overlaid points appear darker as there are more of them.  Or you could use the point displacement renderer which is designed to show multiple points in the same place.

As for automatically moving them - you'd need to run them through the geocoder again after adding some additional information to help improve the process.  If there are not too many points then it might be a manual process but I imagine moving any more than about 10 would get old very quickly.

Subject: [Qgis-user] qgis 2.8 : move overlayed points ?

Dear all,

i'm working with a big point layer. I have to do several thematic maps.
We had geocoded those points (shop) with several geocoding automatic method.
Several points have been geocode approximately => "street geocoding accuracy". That's why, sometimes, several points are overlaid (stack of points).
Is there a way to identify and move automatically overlayed points ?

Thank you very much for your help.
