### Vector Processing Plugin

The Vector Processing plugin contains several processing algorithms applied to vector data. Such as Aggregation, Buffer, Geometric Operations and Intersection.

- Aggregation - The Aggregation operation is applied to a single layer and a chosen group of attributes that can be summarized. The idea is to generate a new layer with summarized information. The geometries of each group are aggregated through the UNION spatial operation and the attributes can be summarized using of the aggregation operation: sum, count, maximum, minimum, average and so on.

- Buffer - The Buffer is a spatial operation that can be applied to a single layer. The buffer zone may be defined as an area generated around an object with a predetermined distance.

- Intersection - The Intersection is spatial operation and can be applied for two layers. One containing polygons that form a clipping mask, and another (with any kind of representation ex. polygons, lines, points) will be clipped. The result is a new plan formed by the objects of the second theme in the intersection with the clipping mask.

- Geometric Operations - The geometric operations available are Centroid, Convex Hull and Minimum Bounding Rectangle (MBR). These operations return a new geometry as a result. In addition there is also basic operations such as Perimeter, Area and Lenght, returning only a numeric value for each geometry.
