Algorithm for reprojecting coordinates in attributes #37368

Open johnrobot opened 4 years ago

johnrobot commented 4 years ago

Feature description. It would be very useful with an algorithm that can reproject coordinates in attributes. It should allow the user to specify the fields containing X/Y coordinates and current/desired coordinate systems. It seems that the current algorithm and the field calculator only supports reprojecting geometries.

roya0045 commented 4 years ago

You can reproject the geometry and get the x or y with the field calculator, just use transform to reproject. In models you can use the field calculator. This is doable and not too harduous.

johnrobot commented 4 years ago

Yes, that is an option, but that would mean additional processing.

roya0045 commented 4 years ago

Just like having another alg to do the same thing.

@johnrobot this Processing algorythm don't do what you want? https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/processing_algs/qgis/vectortable.html#add-x-y-fields-to-layer. This add a X and Y coordinates with the desired CRS.
