In this project, I have three polygons, see the image below
"Polygons_From"
, includes input attributes, i.g."Value_1"
,"Value_2"
,"Value_3"
, and$area
for each quadrate (on the image there are two types of them)."Polygons_To"
polygons for which new values"Value_1_new"
,"Value_2_new"
,"Value_3_new"
need to be defined"Border"
defines an area where the calculation should be done.
My task is to transfer values from "Polygons_From"
into "Polygons_To"
based on a certain aspect/ratio.
At this point, I am considering $area
. For instance, for each object in "Polygons_To"
three values will be calculated as the ratio derived from areas and multiplied by the original values.
But perhaps there are better approaches that will lead me to a much more efficient output.
So, I am asking for a recommendation regarding the technique/workflow that can be applied in QGIS 2.18. Shall I consider only $area
or there are some other criteria?
Shall I use Virtual Layers?
Moreover, I looking forward to finding some papers that may improve my general understanding of the methodology.
