I created a new QGIS plugin and it’s called FeaturesBoundingBox. It is a QGIS plugin for when you need the bounding box of selected features in your map.
How to install the plugin
- The plugin can be installed from the plugins menu in QGIS.
Good to know
- The bounding box can be found for one feature or for a group of multiple features in one layer.
- The bounding box will be calculated for the selected features of the active layer in the layers panel. So the bounding box can’t be calculated for multiple selected features if they originate from multiple layers at once.
- The plugin will always show from which layer the selection is used to calculate the bounding box.
- The CRS of the current layer and the CRS of the project are available in the plugin to calculate the bounding box.
How to use the plugin
- Select the layer you want to select features from in the layers panel.
- Select the features you want to know the bounding box of.
- Press the blue button with the dotted rectangle.
- The plugin will show the requested info in a pop up.
- If you want you can copy the info to the clipboard using one of the two copy buttons.
