How can I create a series of polygons along a line? I need to assess the density of a number of targets along a line within a corridor.
I have tried the following:
- creating a buffer,
- using the plugin station lines to create perpendicular lines,
- Using the Digitizing Tools Plugin to split the buffer with the
station lines
This only splits the polygon one line at a time, the lines is 20+km long and I would like 25m sections making manual repetitions impractical.The line also has complex curves.
Is there a way to create such a grid?

I realised that I was looking at the problem the wrong way round. Rather than create polygons along a line to be able to used the points in polygon methods, I realised that I was looking for a Linear Reference solution and therefore the LRS Plugin would produce the information I required.
Thanks for helping anyway.
