qgis_randompointsinextent: QGIS algorithm - Random points in extent

In JanCaha/r_package_qgis: An extension of package "qgisprocess" providing direct R functions for QGIS functions

QGIS algorithm - Random points in extent

Description

QGIS Algorithm provided by QGIS (native c++) Random points in extent (native:randompointsinextent). This algorithm creates a new point layer with a given number of random points, all of them within a given extent. A distance factor can be specified, to avoid points being too close to each other. If the minimum distance between points makes it impossible to create new points, either distance can be decreased or the maximum number of attempts may be increased.

Usage

qgis_randompointsinextent(
  EXTENT = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  POINTS_NUMBER = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  MIN_DISTANCE = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  TARGET_CRS = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  MAX_ATTEMPTS = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  OUTPUT = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  ...,
  .complete_output = .complete_output_option(),
  .quiet = .quiet_option(),
  .messages = .message_option()
)

Arguments

EXTENT	extent - Input extent. A comma delimited string of x min, x max, y min, y max. E.g. '4,10,101,105'. Path to a layer. The extent of the layer is used..
POINTS_NUMBER	number - Number of points. A numeric value. field:FIELD_NAME to use a data defined value taken from the FIELD_NAME field. expression:SOME EXPRESSION to use a data defined value calculated using a custom QGIS expression.
MIN_DISTANCE	distance - Minimum distance between points. A numeric value. field:FIELD_NAME to use a data defined value taken from the FIELD_NAME field. expression:SOME EXPRESSION to use a data defined value calculated using a custom QGIS expression.
TARGET_CRS	crs - Target CRS. CRS as an auth ID (e.g. 'EPSG:3111'). CRS as a PROJ4 string (e.g. 'PROJ4:…'). CRS as a WKT string (e.g. 'WKT:…'). Path to a layer. The CRS of the layer is used..
MAX_ATTEMPTS	number - Maximum number of search attempts given the minimum distance. A numeric value. field:FIELD_NAME to use a data defined value taken from the FIELD_NAME field. expression:SOME EXPRESSION to use a data defined value calculated using a custom QGIS expression.
OUTPUT	sink - Random points. Path for new vector layer.
...	further parameters passed to qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm()
.complete_output	logical specifying if complete out of qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be used (TRUE) or first output (most likely the main) should read (FALSE). Default value is TRUE.
.quiet	logical specifying if parameter .quiet for qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() Default value is TRUE.
.messages	logical specifying if messages from qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be printed (TRUE) or not (FALSE). Default value is FALSE.
