I wanted to know whether it is possible to change the coordinates of a Polygon by typing them in.

I don't want to have to manually drag them into the right position.

Do you mean that you want to shift the whole polygon by some dx and dy values? If so, there's the Spatialite function SHiftCoords(). It takes the existing geometry, an X-shift and a Y-shift, and returns a new geometry translated by that shift. – Micha Sep 25 '12 at 10:41
Not sure what you mean by "tipping them in" – Rayner Sep 25 '12 at 10:42

Just install the Numerical Vertex Edit plug-in for QGIS. It installs a new button in the shape menu bar and allows you to numerically edit the vertex of a polygon typing the coordinates. ciao
