How to create multiple buffers in QGIS without plugins?
The way to do it without plugins is use Batch Processing from Processing toolbox. Find Fixed distance buffer algorithm, and execute is as batch process ( right click –> Execute is as batch process ).
How does the multi distance buffer plugin work?
The Multi-distance buffer plugin returns a polygon dataset with multiple non-overlapping buffer zones and a distance attribute that identifies the different zones. The zones are dissolved, and none of the attributes of the original dataset are preserved.
How to iterate over a vector layer in pyqgis?
