[Qgis-user] FW: "Phantom" point in created layer

Wed Apr 2 00:31:55 PDT 2025

Hi Nôra,

maybe it´s a useful hint that the points are not somewhere in the ocean, but more or less exactly at the intersection of equator and prime meridian (0°/0°)?

Regards

Simon

Hi Randy,

I used the “Add point” feature.
It is not stacked because the “phantom” points are all at the same location somewhere in the ocean.

Good morning Nora (or afternoon) ,

I'm wondering if you select (draw a polygon using the select tool) around one or two points you might select 2 or 4 points - you may have points stacked accidentally.

Hallo Chris,

Hope you are well??

Thanks for the reply.

Why are you using "Add polygon feature" when your goal appears to be adding points?
Sorry, I now realised that I wrote “polygon feature”. I actually use “Add point feature”

What is the geometry of your shapefile layer?  If you intend to have points in it, then the geometry should be "point".
The geometry is Point.

I am counting informal structures in our project areas.
I created a shapefile layer and use the “Toggle editing – Add polygon feature”  function to add a point. Every structure gets a dot.
