[Qgis-user] Locating Polygon at Point

[Zoltan Szecsei]

Hi Mike,
Create the rectangle AT the POI.

You have not said what your environment is (Python or GUI), but you can 
try this from the Processing Toolbox:

    Rectangles, ovals, diamonds

    Creates rectangle, oval or diamond-shaped polygons from the input
    point layer using specified width, height and (optional) rotation
    values. Multipart inputs should be promoted to singleparts first.

HTH,
Zoltan
