PolygonCenterline ================= Calculate a center line for a given polygon layer. The purpose is to get a line for labeling polygons along their center line. This is mainly for nice cartographic labeling purposes. Issues ====== The script is quite slow at the moment and the route finding process is not optimal. Report and search for more issues on the issue tracker: https://github.com/frankbroniewski/polygoncenterline/issues Usage ===== Download the script and use the "Add Script to Toolbox" menu from the processing toobox. Once added, start the script found under Scripts->Cartography->Calculate a polygon centerline. The script demands for a polygon layer. I advise to use polygons in a projected CRS. If everything goes well you get a nice and smooth center line fit for labeling. QGIS Requirements ================= The script needs QGIS 3.0 or higher in order to work. It solely relies on tools provided by QGIS. Idea ==== I got the idea to make a processing script from this tweet: https://twitter.com/veltman/status/973570650429206528 ESRI has one for tons of money in Production Mapping extension, so we need one for free #OpenSource
