I installed the plugin qgsaffine but cannot find the entry in the menu bar. Where do I find this. Can anyone here help me with this?

In Qgis, Select Plugins > Manage Plugins and Select the qgsaffine plugin.

In Menu, it is located at Plugins > Geoprocessing > Affine

  • It looks like qgsaffine isn't available for qgis 2.x any more. Is this correct and if yes, is there a replacement? – bfncs Sep 27 '13 at 8:22

    @boundaryfunctions - it is probably not yet updated to 2.0..many plugins are still catching up to the latest version.. – vinayan Sep 27 '13 at 10:28
  • Thanks for answering. Ok, I suppose you're right, so let's just wait for the update. – bfncs Sep 27 '13 at 17:19

in normal installing qgis plugins locate under Plugins menu. i think you have to re-install it again because of wrong installaion or bugs...

you can also look at your plugin folder under Quantum GIS ... > apps > qgis > plugins or Quantum GIS ... > apps > qgis > python > plugins whether qgsaffine is there or not...

i hope it helps you...

You can find it now under Vector (version 2.6.1):

I think they renamed it. Got to Plugins->Fetch Python Plugins... and select "Affine Transformations". You won't find it under qgsaffine anymore.

For Geoprocessing of DEM in QGIS 2.0 , there is an alternative to use qgSurf plugin. Hereby the description from the qgSurf developer:

This plugin allows to calculate the best-fit plane give a DEM and a set of points, or alternatively, given a geological plane, a DEM and a point, to calculate the intersections of the plane with the DEM.

I want to point out on the difference and similarity of those two plugin. qgsaffine plugin concerns on doing affine transformation, which is translation, rotation, scale on a vector. This function is basically covered in qgsurf plugin.

qqsaffine is developed in github and the qgsurf is bitbucket but both are python based developed plugin.

I wish that I can improve this answer more. Feel free to give some more constructive information to be added. Thanks

We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.

  • Welcome to gis.SE. This answer would be better you explain the differences / commonality between qgSurf and qgsaffine, and why one would choose one over the other. You don't need to bold nouns either. – BradHards Jan 4 '14 at 3:37
