I have a point layer of village data.
I need to convert it to polygon, such that each polygon has only one point (as its centroid).
We can create a polygon using 3 points, but i need a method to create one polygon using only one point...

Kindly advice.

Regards,
KVijaykar

I'm not sure if it's what you mean...
When you Buffer the points, you'll get circles with a village point as a centroid.

Thanks for the reply..

I however wish to create approximate village boundary using the point data.. I have population data attached to each point, so maybe using that as numeric value, is there any method to create polygons???
