Description

I loaded the edna coverage from USGS into QGIS 2.18.16 and the display with Google Physical as backdrop is attached as an image.

The second polygon from the top is not using shortest path segments to construct the internal area (blue). Seems to me like a major issue if its occurrence within the program is unpredictable.

History

#1 Updated by Michael Miller almost 7 years ago

Revision: I misunderstood what I saw earlier. After opening the same file in Tatuk viewer, it looks like the big polygon over Alaska and the small triangle over Siberia are not being separated properly, because they appear to be combined by QGIS into a single polygon. The file is available from the USGS at
https://dds.cr.usgs.gov/ee-data/coveragemaps/shp/ee/edna/edna.zip

the problem is a projection one, you have features crossing the dateline, and they are always a pain. I'm sure there is/are other tickets about it, please try do a search, if you find any close this as duplicate.
