Thank you Stefan,<br>
I knew it would be as simple as that, but could not find it (the
'Java style' in the QgsGeometry class must have made me skip
experimenting with that )<br>
In Afrikaans (I am South African/Hungarian) there is a saying: 'As
jy dom is, moet jy ...xxx' - and that was applicable to me in this
case :-)<br>
<br>
I wrote the script yesterday in a freestanding (PyCharm) environment
to solve the issue, as I needed to 'get it done', but this info is
useful for future.<br>
<br>
Yesterday was the first time I was trying out the function editor
and, just btw, a week or two back was when I first started writing
QGis python scripts to solve work issues.<br>
<br>
So yes, I am struggling to find 'what is where' even though I am
10's of years down the road picturing the algorithm needed to solve
my issue. <br>
My current challenge is also QGis Atlas with multiple sub-maps per
page - but I am 'getting there' with some pointers received from
this list.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for your response.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Zoltan<br>

Hi Listers,<br>
I can't for the life of me work out the syntax/commands to use
in the FieldCalculator->FunctionEditor for extracting
vertices.<br>
<br>
I have a Polygon layer with Multipolygon rectangles at various
rotations.<br>
I need to extract the 4 corner points so that I can calculate
(and save in a virtual layer) lines that I can later use with
"Processing->Split with lines".<br>
<br>
I will google for opening a new virtual layer and saving lines
to it, but if that is quick and easy then some help there would
also be welcome.<br>
<br>
Please can someone point me to a sample functions covering these
requirements, or just fill in the gaps below.<br>
No, I'm not asking for someone to just write it for me.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
Zoltan<br>
