I need to split polygon features as in the figure.
Is there any automatic tool for this?

What do you mean with equal? If you have area of 101 square something would you like to get 10 times 10.1, or 10 times 10 + one or more smaller polygons?– user30184Oct 18, 2017 at 13:08

I mean that if I have rectagnle of 100*50 I want to drow inside 50 polygons of 10*5 for example.– Lorenzo BottaccioliOct 18, 2017 at 13:11

1If you want to have an automatic tool then I fear that your definition "50 polygons of 10*5 for example" is not exact enough. Should the result be triangles, rectangles or something else? Oriented north-south along some axis (which axes?). What to do if you have a circle shaped polygon as an input geometry etc? Because it is not at all trivial it may be that such tool does not exist yet but I do not know really.– user30184Oct 18, 2017 at 13:23

The closest automatic solution I can think of is the Polygon Divider plugin.
However, if you want the result to be exactly like your image, you will need to write your own. I'd recommend a Python script where you iterate over each polygon in the shapefile, find its major axis, orientation and dimensions and then calculate the subdivisions.
