I searched the net and fell upon a gis stackexhange that mentionned a programming routine under python console
Also, an article by Martin laloux, a belgium GIS specialist could have been helpful to manage that.
These solutions could have been implemented under the form of a sextante toolbox function, or a plugin. But what if, like my colleague, you don’t know how to code ? It’s possible to generate mid-points from lines using QGIS plugins. Just follow the steps :
– Create a set of polylines
– Separate the lines from the polylines with the sextante QGIS algorithm “explode lines”
Add a unique identifier for every line with the calculator :
Extract the nodes
Add the geometry columns
Use group stats, applying average on both X and Y, then copy-paste the results in libreoffice. Save the file as csv
Add the csv as a spatial layer
Here we are !
