BOOK DESCRIPTION
QGIS is a user friendly, open source geographic information system
(GIS). The popularity of open source GIS and QGIS, in particular, has
been growing rapidly over the last few years. This book is designed to
help beginners learn about all the tools required to use QGIS 3.4.
This book will provide you with clear, step-by-step instructions to
help you apply your GIS knowledge to QGIS. You begin with an overview
of QGIS 3.4 and its installation. You will learn how to load existing
spatial data and create vector data from scratch. You will then be
creating styles and labels for maps. The final two chapters
demonstrate the Processing toolbox and include a brief investigation
on how to extend QGIS.
Throughout this book, we will be using the GeoPackage format, and we
will also discuss how QGIS can support many different types of data.
Finally, you will learn where to get help and how to become engaged
with the GIS community.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
* Use existing data to interact with the canvas via
zoom/pan/selection
* Create vector data and a GeoPackage and build a simple project
around it
* Style data, both vector and raster data, using the Layer Styling
Panel
* Design, label, save, and export maps using the data you have
created
* Analyze spatial queries using the Processing toolbox
* Expand QGIS with the help of plugins, model builder, and the
command line
WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
If you know the basic functions and processes of GIS, and want to
learn to use QGIS to analyze geospatial data and create rich mapping
applications, then this is the book for you.
