[Qgis-user] Adding points as seperate layers

[Ludwig Kniprath]

Hi Mike,

there are probably several solutions for your problem. Below a script, 
which uses the imported csv-layer and creates a memory layer for each 
feature.

# active-layer = csv-import-layer
vl = iface.activeLayer()

# the group for the single-point layers in Layer-Panel
target_group = QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot().addGroup('group_1')

# iterate through the csv-import-layer
for f in vl.getFeatures():
     # create a clone of this layer with only one feature
     vl_clone = vl.materialize(QgsFeatureRequest().setFilterFids([f.id()]))
     # set the name for the new layer, here using the attribute 'name' 
of the csv-import-layer
     # adapt if necessary or create another name
     vl_clone.setName(f['name'])
     # parameter 2 False => dont't add to layerTreeRoot...
     QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(vl_clone,False)
     # ...but to the above created group
     target_group.insertLayer(-1, vl_clone)


Note: the script creates temporary memory-layers, which you must convert 
to permanent layers (context-menu > Make Permament)
