comment Any GIS program with GPX support and free hand selection tool?
Is this just a symbology problem? What happens if you use the identify tool on the clipped raster?

KML always uses WGS84 projection. Try converting it to an ESRI Shapefile.

The projection will depend on your location. Either use a national projection (in my example I used the British National Grid EPSG:27700, as the tile was in England) or an appropriate UTM projection. In my example I used a 2000m buffer.

comment Is there a zonal statistics tool to calculate median and mode raster values for each polygon?
I've managed to adapt the code from LecoS to do exactly what I need to do. I never would have though to use PIL to rasterize the features - very clever. The polygons I'm using are individual buildings and thus aren't very large, so I don't expect to hit any memory allocation issues.

comment Speed of editing attributes in QGIS from a Python plugin
@MatthiasKuhn The data is stored on a traditional, local hard disk. I tried buffering all the changes and calling dataProvider.changeAttributeValues() once at the end - this seems to fix it. I think that is the solution I was looking for.

@NathanW Upon re-reading you comment: the field is an integer.
