[Qgis-user] distance to the coast

[Ville Koivisto]

Hi Nikos,

Other idea from the top of my head, you could create a point layer from your coast line (Qchainage, extract vertices…) and then run distance matrix between two point layers with 1 target points. Distance matrix output will give the closest point and distance to it. You might have to export your csv as shp or other vector format since I can’t recall if it’s possible to have csv as an input layer.

Hi Nikos,

have you had a look at the NNJoin plugin?

Did not use it myself, but from what I read, it might serve your needs.

Cheers,

Bernd

Hello everybody,

As I am new to QGIS, I have the following question.
I have a shapefile of the coastline of Greece and I want to compute the minimum distance (haversine for now) between points contained in a csv file and the sea. How can I do that?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Best wishes,
Nikos Benos
