Batch Process

Parameter Description:

• Select: Single click on a vector line with the left mouse button to generate a polygon.
• Batch: Generate polygons for all vector line objects within the line layer.
• Line Layer: Only appears in batch processing mode, used to select the source layer of the vector line.
• Width: The width of the polygon.
• Target Polygon Layer: The layer in which the generated polygon will be stored.

• Location: Used to specify which side of the reference line the generated polygon is located on, default is middle.

  • Left: Generate the set width polygon on the left of the baseline.
  • Middle: Generate the set width polygon on both sides of the baseline, the left width is half of the width, and the right width is half of the width.
  • Right: Generate the set width polygon on the right of the baseline.

• Delete original object: Whether to delete the baseline, or default is not checked.

• Accept/Start: In point mode, the polygon style will be displayed in real time, and the polygon will be generated after clicking the accept button; in batch processing mode, there is no real-time display, clicking the start button will start to generate polygons in batches.
