About
Fishnet Creator replicates the ArcGIS "Create Fishnet" workflow directly inside QGIS. HOW TO USE: 1. Set your output path (or leave blank for a temporary scratch layer) 2. Define the grid extent — use a layer, canvas, or type coordinates manually 3. Set Origin and Y-Axis coordinates (Y-Axis controls rotation angle) 4. Enter Cell Width and Height, or Rows and Columns (auto-syncs Opposite Corner) 5. Choose CRS, geometry type, and optionally create label points 6. Click OK — the fishnet is generated and loaded into your map KEY FEATURES: - Exact ArcGIS Create Fishnet UI layout (Origin, Y-Axis, Cell Size, Rows/Cols, Opposite Corner) - Grid rotation via Y-Axis coordinate - Pixel-perfect raster alignment using GDAL geotransform - Cell size unit selector: metres, km, feet, miles, yards, nautical miles, degrees - Live coverage feedback showing total rows × columns - Clip output to any polygon layer boundary - Optional centroid label points layer - Polygon or Polyline geometry output - Temporary scratch layer mode (no file required) - Compatible with QGIS 3.x and 4.x REQUIREMENTS: - QGIS 3.0 or higher (including QGIS 4.x) - No extra Python libraries required
