I am new to Python programming and relatively new to QGIS. So beware my<br>
question is ridiculously simple but for some reason I have been turning in<br>
circles on the web and on QGIS for more than a day now trying to find an<br>
answer.<br>
<br>
So I am looking for the Python Code to clip Vector Layers<br>
<br>
I know how to clip vector layers using the plugins available on the<br>
software.<br>
But what I am looking for is the python code which will enable me to clip<br>
vector layers out of another vector polygon (all in shapefile).<br>
- I am trying to document the process of a specific GIS analysis so that it<br>
can be repeatable, python code seemed the best solution following my<br>
employer's opinion -<br>
<br>
I have looked on the web for a simple piece of code, I have explored dir()<br>
of both ftools and gdal, but nothing seems to jump out despite that I know<br>
fine well that it must be somewhere.<br>
<br>
Could anyone suggest me a code or at the very least where to look?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
