QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — Random Point on Lines... supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
Random Points on Lines... is to generate random points on line layers, enhancing spatial data analysis by quickly simulating random data points.
About
The Random Points on Lines... plugin allows users to generate a specified number of random points along selected line layers. It utilizes a user-friendly dialog interface to select the line layer and specify the number of random points. The resulting random points are added as a new temporary layer with additional attributes, including coordinates in both the layer's CRS (XCoord, YCoord) and the project's CRS (CRSXCoord, CRSYCoord), as well as a distance field (Distance) indicating the distance from the start of the line to the point location.
