[Qgis-user] to change the location of several points on a map

[Andreas Neumann]

There are several methods to do this.

You could extract the x/y values (for points this is easy) in the field 
calculator and change the coordinates with the new vectors and then 
write that back into the geometry itself. Then create a WKT geometry 
string (something like "POINT(coordx coordy)") and use geom_from_wkt in 
the field calculator to write this back into the geometry.

Or alternatively export the thing in a CSV, do the calculation in the 
spreadsheet and load the layer back.

Whatever you do: have a look at the field calculator - it is very powerful!

Hope this helps,

Andreas
