23.1.6. Layer tools¶
23.1.6.1. Extract layer extent¶
Generates a vector layer with the minimum bounding box (rectangle with N-S orientation) that covers all the input features.
The output layer contains a single bounding box for the whole input layer.

23.1.6.1.3. Python code¶
Algorithm ID: qgis:polygonfromlayerextent
import processing
processing.run("algorithm_id", {parameter_dictionary})
The algorithm id is displayed when you hover over the algorithm in the Processing Toolbox. The parameter dictionary provides the parameter NAMEs and values. See Usando os algoritmos do processamento a partir do Terminal Python. for details on how to run processing algorithms from the Python console.
