I need to connect points with lines in QGIS. I am in this fresh out so I'm not sure how to do it and I need a little bit help with this. I read several posts and I tried to do something about it but unfortunately did not work out. So I would ask for a hint and error indication at what I do.

First: I have a couple of addresses in Excel (including city, street and number). I used a plugin (called geokoder navidata.pl) to apply them to a .shp file and I added this layer to program. And now, I want to connect some of these points with lines to illustrate how someone has moved.

I tried to use several plugins (e.g. PointConnecter, Point2One, Point to path ) but failed every time.

I have about 1300 points and the line should be two times more (connecting will look like: point 1 to point 2, point 2 to point 3; point 4 to point 2, point 2 to point 5 etc.).

enter image description here

I have attached photo of what I need to do.

I have points (city, street, house number) and and their coordinates (X and Y) on points layer (.shp) and now I need to connect them using lines as follows:

First address -> address of meeting point -> Second address Third address -> address of meeting point -> Fourth address etc.

The meeting point is one point on the map (in the middle).

Could someone please explain to me how to do it, I tried: point2one, PointConnectr. It seems to me that I should do this by points2path but when I want to do, it gives me an error.

  • How about creating new shapefile layer (Line) and editing in it and manually draw line connecting the required points?

    What's the format of your connectivity data, i.e. the file which says that point1 connects to point2 and so on

Use the Points2One plugin.

  1. Install this plugin (Plugins->Manage and install plugins)

  2. Follow the instructions for the plugin. Make sure to select line.

  3. Save as geojson.

I often find I need to smooth my lines after connecting points. For this, search for simplification algorithms.
