I was developing a plugin in which there is a polygon buffer and line file, now i want to to find all the line segments that are outside the buffer and inside the buffer. Is there anyway to find them using QGIS tools. I want to save the line segment for every time it is outside and inside. I am attaching a pic for better clarity.

In the image below, i want the ones in red circle as different color, for example purple and black color and the one in blue circle as different color, maybe magenta color, and i want to do this with all the line polygons in the shapefile.

Can you help me if you have an idea?

    If you also want to ask about PostGIS and/or PyQGIS then I think that is best done in separate questions, and in those I think you should include your code attempts.

    There is no tool. You can use clip vector for inside lines. Better way intersect line with buffer and select which lines are within and inverse selection which lines are out of buffer.

  • you need to carry out intersections to make the line segments of interest
