I'm trying to compute the shortest path between points using the QGIS networkanalysis library. But the graph.findVertex always return -1.

Basically what I'm trying to do is : 1/ Given a set of points, create a grid. The size of the grid is define by the poins bounding box 2/ transform all the cells' grid to point (centroid) 3/ For each cell's centroid compute the shortest path with the set of points

My script works fine with no error, but the graph.findVertex() function always return -1. It's like my points are not tied to the graph...

My code is available on pastebin : http://pastebin.com/u6n4tSkz

Do you know what I'm doing wrong ?

  • Can you confirm that graph and grid are in the same CRS?

  • Hi @underdark, thanks for your help. The CRS iis the same for both layers (EPSG:32740). This is one of the first I've checked, but unfortunately it was not that simple :( Aug 3, 2015 at 12:04

Check if your graph contains the points you later want to find using findVertex. According to http://qgis.org/api/qgsgraph_8cpp_source.html, the routing graph has to contain the exact point:

72 int QgsGraph::findVertex( const QgsPoint& pt ) const
73 {
74   int i = 0;
75   for ( i = 0; i < mGraphVertexes.size(); ++i )
76   {
77     if ( mGraphVertexes[ i ].point() == pt )
78     {
79       return i;
80     }
81   }
82   return -1;
83 }

Try and check if the tying in makeGraph failed:

Note if tiedPoints[i]==QgsPoint(0.0,0.0) then tied failed.

  • Hi undertak, the number of points seems to be good. If I do print len(gridCentroidFeats) & print len(processing.features(self.pointLayer)) the total number is 770 + 12. And if I do a print len(tiedPoints) the result is 782. So all the points seem to be here. Aug 5, 2015 at 8:35
  • Thanks to your suggestion I've tried to loop on the tiedPoints to check the geometry. So if I do a "for tiedPoint in tiedPoints: print tiedPoint.wellKnownText()" the result is POINT(0 -0), POINT(0 -0), POINT(0 -0)... Aug 5, 2015 at 8:44
  • Hi underdark, do you have any idea why the makeGraph function has failed ? I've got no errors and the code seems to be fine... Thanks for your help Aug 6, 2015 at 3:41
  • Maybe the distances are too big. Can you share test data?

  • Hi Underdark. Here you will find the data, a qgis project and the python code : dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/96280295/shared_data.zip Thanks :) Aug 6, 2015 at 9:37
