Current release: v1.0 (stable) — final UI/metadata polish with integer-only Cell Size/Search Radius display and refreshed plugin identity assets.
This plugin performs boundary-by-boundary iterative density analysis for points and lines.
- Point and line density workflows in one tool
- Per-boundary feature clipping and per-boundary KDE generation
- Per-tile boundary mask clipping with consistent raster resolution
- Perfect boundary alignment: full-cell buffered zero base tile (1.0 × cell size) for complete edge coverage + strict final boundary-union clip (
CROP_TO_CUTLINE,ALL_TOUCHED) to remove overhang - Maximum-overlap mosaic merge (highest density wins in overlap cells)
- Final boundary-union clip plus polygon-mask edge refinement pass for cleaner polygon alignment and stricter NoData outside boundaries
- Automatic Silverman search radius (optional)
- Per-boundary Silverman logging + summary stats (median/mean/min/max)
- Clear UI labels for metric distance inputs (
Cell Size (meters),Search Radius (meters)) - Progress and log reporting with cancel support
- Zip this folder so that plugin root contains
metadata.txt. - In QGIS:
Plugins > Manage and Install Plugins > Install from ZIP. - Open from toolbar or menu: Iterative Density Analysis.
- Line density is implemented with a point-sampled representation of lines so the same Quartic kernel engine is used as points for consistency.
- Recommended projected CRS inputs for meaningful distance/cell-size behavior.

Note: Do NOT use the green "Download ZIP" button from the main page; that version is for developers and will not install correctly in QGIS.
