as I am from an economics department, I am quite a beginner in QGIS. I read, that if I wanted to calculate the distance from a polygon to a Point, I should use the GRASS plugin "v.distance".
Does anyone know how exactly the plugin calculates the distance? Let's say I want to know what's the Minimum distance from Germany to the sea. Does v.distance take the Center of Germany or does it divide the boarder into small Points and then calculate the distance to the nearest sea spot?
