I agree, is much more common to need to choose the output resolution as cell size rather than dimensions.
Maybe we are missing something obvious? if not I think is pretty important to add this option (maybe splitting the tool in two)?

Thanks Giovanni. Splitting the tool in two could be an option, but I think if the option for the cell size is added like in the 2.18 version of the tool it would be ok.

are you referring to the core c++ plugin? I'm not sure 2.18 had already a Processing equivalent and now I can't check in that version.

Yes. You are right, in QGIS 2.18 it was a plugin. It was moved to core in QGIS 3.

I confirm defining the cell size is much simpler and immediate.

#6 Updated by matteo ghetta over 5 years ago

Totally agree. But actually the fix could/should be simple. We can think to reuse the same approach of the Kernel Density (old plugin ported in Processing too) where the user can choose the size defining the rows and columns OR cell pixel cell size (X and Y).

In Processing Modeler there is an option to use expressions in the 'Number of columns' and 'Number of rows' fields.
eg. '(@Concave_hull_OUTPUT_maxx - @Concave_hull_OUTPUT_minx) / 0.1'

It would be very usefull to add/expose this functinoality in the toolbox as well.
