I use Python try to write vector layer file to csv file with this code

QgsVectorFileWriter.writeAsVectorFormat(mylayer, r'c:\temp\xyz.csv', "utf-8", None, "CSV")

It can export to xyz.csv but only attribute show in csv not geometry column. How can I export both attribute and spatial data into csv file.

Thanks.

Depends on what type of vector layer you want to export. For point layer you could just add the lat, long values as attribute table columns. For all others you need WKT – Curlew May 26 at 8:39
Thank you Curlew, I work with point and polygon layer. for point layer you mean add lat, lon column in attribute table? how about polygon? – Anubiz May 27 at 8:39

Is this really a duplicate? This question here is aimed particularly at python, which is not covered by the linked answer. – Matthias Kuhn Jun 10 at 8:18
