i'm trying to calculate the euclidean direction, in ArcGIS its very easy using the Euclidean Direction tool of Spatial Analyst but in QGIS i don't find how to do it.
Any tips for this in free software?

Link goes to Euclidean Direction, not Distance. Which one do you need?– mkennedyMar 16, 2015 at 22:41

The only thing I can suggest is to create an XYZ text file compliant with GDAL XYZ gdal.org/frmt_xyz.html which can be viewed as points or raster, calculate the distances as point features and then use GDAL_Translate to convert to another (better) image format.– Michael StimsonMar 16, 2015 at 22:41

Sorry, is euclidean direction.– NovvierMar 16, 2015 at 22:44

Thanks Michael, modify the XYZ text with a spreadsheet, but I had to put several conditions. Would be excellent if there is any especial plugin for this.– NovvierMar 17, 2015 at 1:53

- Vector->Analysis Tools->Distance Matrix
- Calculate just the nearest point
- Join the two x/y pairs to your output file
- The rest is just basic math in a right triangle
