Random points from mask raster layerΒΆ
This algorithm creates a new point layer with a given number of random points, all of them in the area where the given mask evaluates to true.
Parameters
- Mask raster layer [raster]
- A mask raster layer to draw locations from.
- Number of points [number]
- Number of points to be drawn.
- Minimum distance between points (in meters) [number]
A minimum distance between points can be specified. A point will not be added if there is an already generated point within this (Euclidean) distance from the generated location.
Default: 0
- Random seed [number]
- The seed for the random generator can be provided.
Outputs
- Output point layer [vectorDestination]
- Vector file destination.
