The mmqgis code reveals that hub distance uses an approximation of the "hub" geometry. The distance calculations (mmqgis_distance) takes two points as parameters. Here is the code that does the approximation of the hub geometry in mmqgis_library.py: "feature.geometry().boundingBox().center()". This means that the centre of the geometry's bounding box is used instead of the real geometry. So if "closest distance to line" is to be the criterion, GRASS v.distance or the NNJoin plugin are more suitable. | |
