I have a shapefile which renders a map.
I want to calculate and preferably store length of each feature in the shapefile either using QGis or through programmatic means.
What is the best way to get this task done?
Answer
Create a Real Number field in the shapefile. From Attribute table, open 'Field Calculator'. From the functions list, expand 'Geometry' section. selection length.
The expression would look
$length
Check update existing field at the top of field calculator and select the newly created double field name.
