Split Operation

Split a polygon layer using a LineString layer

The Split Operation takes the features from the split layer (source) and uses the LineString features from the using layer to split them.

The result of the Split Operation could be stored on a new layer, on an existent layer or on the previously used source layer.

Sample Usage

On this example we are going to do an split operation with the polygon layer edificios.shp and the lineString layer carre1.shp.


Figure 1. Before operation.

Go to the Spatial Operations View, and select Split from the Operations list .
The Split Operation's specific input options will show up.

Now is time to indicate the operation's inputs, as shown in Figure 2:


Figure 2. Define input and target layers.


Figure 3. Progress dialog.

Shows the newly created Layer (Split-1) added to the map, with the Features resulting of applying the split operation between the Split and Using Layers.
