I have a problem with two vector layers, both polygons. I have been digitising an historical map which contains large areas called townlands, filled by smaller areas called fields. I digitised both as two separate vector layers, both polygons. When digitised the field layers I snapped them to the townland boundaries where the townlands and fields shared a boundary. Unfortunately I managed to shift the field layer by accident so now the fields and the townlands don’t overlap. Is there a topological function to fix this? To snap one layer of polygons back to another? I tried v.clean in the GRASS module but this only appears to work for cleaning within one layer. Thanks for any advice.

  • In FME, there is a transformer called Snapper which would make your polygons snap.

If you have access to ArcGIS 10 you could try the Integrate (Data Management) tool:

I know you are looking for a solution with qgis: there is a plugin for qgis "affin transformation", where you can enter the following values: Scale, rotation, translation both for x and y



But here I recommend to give the free openjump a try: use werkzeuge (in English: tools) -transformiere (transform) transformieren... (transform ..) you can now draw easliy as many "shifting-vectors" you need on your map-canavas to to do the required transformation/warping

  • the openjump tool looks good (not tried it--will involve installing yet another GIS tool :-)), but again not as easy as ShapeWarp. In SW, one could just click source and destination points, and it would gather the points and compute the trasnformation (just as in ERDAS). Any thoughts?

Thanks Kurt. I have tried to use Vector Bender. But it requires installation of additional drivers/plugins (matlab etc) and still is quite cumbersome to use. Never was able to make it work (given my limited software savvy). Just seems absurd that no one could take the steps folks have listed here (acquire point pairs, create table, feed to affine command, save results) into a nice interface!
