Description
The tool allows one to split lines into multiple lines. The lines can be split based on a user-defined line length or the given number of divisions of each input line. Optionally, a point shapes layer with the points at which the lines were split can be created. This can be used, e.g., to create the midpoint of each polyline by dividing each line into two halves.
