This algorithm performs a validity check on the geometries of a vector layer.

The geometries are classified in three groups (valid, invalid and error), and a vector layer is generated with the features in each on of this categories.

This algorithm creates a line vector layer with a grid covering a given extent.

The size of each element in the grid is defined using a horizontal and vertical spacing.

qgis:deleteholes: >
This algorithm takes a polygon layer and removes holes in polygons. It creates a new vector layer in which polygons with holes have been replaced by polygons with only their external ring. Attributes are not modified.

An optional minimum area parameter allows removing only holes which are smaller than a specified area threshold. Leaving this parameter as 0.0 results in all holes being removed.

qgis:densifygeometries:
qgis:densifygeometries: >
This algorithm takes a polygon or line layer and generates a new one in which the geometries have a larger number of vertices than the original one.

If the geometries have z or m values present then these will be linearly interpolated at the added nodes.

The number of new vertices to add to each feature geometry is specified as an input parameter.

qgis:densifygeometriesgivenaninterval:
qgis:densifygeometriesgivenaninterval: >
This algorithm takes a polygon or line layer and generates a new one in which the geometries have a larger number of vertices than the original one. The geometries are densified by adding regularly placed extra nodes inside each segment so that the maximum distance between any two nodes does not exceed the specified distance.

E.g. specifying a distance 3 would cause the segment [0 0] -> [10 0] to be converted to [0 0] -> [2.5 0] -> [5 0] -> [7.5 0] -> [10 0], since 3 extra nodes are required on the segment and spacing these at 2.5 increments allows them to be evenly spaced over the segment.

qgis:dissolve: >
This algorithm takes a polygon or line vector layer and combines their geometries into new geometries. An attribute can be specified to dissolve only geometries belonging to the same class (having the same value for the specified attribute), alternatively all geometries can be dissolved. If the geometries to be dissolved are spatially separated from each other the output will be multi geometries. In case the input is a polygon layer, common boundaries of adjacent polygons being dissolved will get erased.

qgis:lineintersections: >
This algorithm creates point features where the lines in the Intersect layer intersect the lines in the Input layer.

An ID field is specified for each of the input layers. Each point in the resulting layer will have the ID's of both input layer, allowing to identify them.

If no Input Unique and Intersect Unique ID fields are specified then the point features are given the values of the last field (i.e. the last field/column in the attribute table) of the intersecting lines.

qgis:rastercalculator: >
This algorithm allows to perform algebraic operations using raster layers.

The resulting layer will have its values computed according to an expression. The expression can contain numerical values, operators and references to any of the layers in the current project. The following functions are also supported:

- sin(), cos(), tan(), atan2(), ln(), log10()

The extent and cellsize can be defined by the user. If the extent is not specified, the minimum extent that covers the input layers will be used. If the cell size is not specified, the minimum cell size of all input layers will be used.

The cell size is assumed to be the same in both X and Y axes.

Layers are referred by their name as displayed in the layer list and the number of the band to use (based on 1), using the pattern 'layer_name@band number'. For instance, the first band from a layer named DEM will be referred as DEM@1.

When using the calculator in the batch interface or from the console, the files to use have to be specified. The corresponding layers are referred using the base name of the file (without the full path). For instance, is using a layer at path/to/my/rasterfile.tif, the first band of that layer will be referred as rasterfile.tif@1.
