Saving area parameters of simple plots to attributes

The Save geometry parameters to attributes tool allows saving the geometry values (area, perimeter (or length for the linear features), and centroid's coordinates) to the features attributes. Each of the geometry parameters is calculated in correspondent units.

 

 

The following parameters are specified in the tool dialog:

 

• the features, which geometry properties should be restored;

• the source data geometry units, in case if they have not been specified in any of the selected features;

• the geometry parameters, which should be added to the correspondent attributes considering the specified units.

 

Having specified the above parameters press the Apply button to start the process of calculation and saving the calculated geometry values to the selected attributes.

 

 

The example below demonstrates the work of the tool. At first the plots about that the additional information was required, have been selected in the 115_61342  layer.

 

 

After the tool finished working, all rows of the selected features were filled in with the restoration attributes, whereas the nonselected row was filled in with nulls.
