Plover 3.2.0
Plover 3.2.0
The boundary is now optional.
The polygon boundary was always the constraint mechanism — it keeps the route inside a field and routes around holes — but it was never required by the TSP itself. As of 3.2.0 you can leave it out:
- With a boundary — same as before: the route stays inside it and dodges sloughs / exclusion zones.
- Without a boundary — Plover solves a plain straight-line (Euclidean) TSP: the shortest visiting order through your points, connected by direct lines, no obstacle avoidance. The working CRS falls back to the point layer's.
In the dialog, leave Boundary layer empty (the buffer and "points outside boundary" controls disable themselves). In Processing, the Boundary polygon(s) parameter is now optional (BOUNDARY can be omitted / None).
