Description:Key Features
Learn how to work with various data and create beautiful maps using this easy-to-follow guide.
Give a touch of professionalism to your maps both for functionality and look and feel with the help of this practical guide.
A progressive hands-on guide that builds on a geo-spatial data and adds more reactive maps by using geometry tools.
Book Description QGIS is a user-friendly open source geographic information system (GIS) that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows. The popularity of open source geographic information systems and QGIS in particular has been growing rapidly over the last few years.Learning QGIS Third Edition is a practical, hands-on guide updated for QGIS 2.14 that provides you with clear, step-by-step exercises to help you apply your GIS knowledge to QGIS. Through clear, practical exercises, this book will introduce you to working with QGIS quickly and painlessly.This book takes you from installing and configuring QGIS to handling spatial data to creating great maps. You will learn how to load and visualize existing spatial data and create data from scratch. You will get to know important plugins, perform common geoprocessing and spatial analysis tasks and automate them with Processing.We will cover how to achieve great cartographic output and print maps. Finally, you will learn how to extend QGIS using Python and even create your own plugin. What you will learn
Install QGIS and get familiar with the user interface
Load vector and raster data from files, databases, and web services
Create, visualize, and edit spatial data
Perform geoprocessing tasks and automate them
Create advanced cartographic outputs
Design great print maps
Expand QGIS using Python
About the Author Anita Graser studied geomatics at the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt, Austria, from where she graduated with a master's degree in 2010. During her studies, she gained hands-on experience in the fields of geo-marketing and transportation research. Since 2007, she has been working as a geographic information systems (GIS) expert with the dynamic transportation systems group at the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), where she focuses on analyzing and visualizing spatio-temporal data. Anita serves on the OSGeo board of directors and the QGIS project steering committee. She has been working with GIS since 2005, provides QGIS training courses, and writes a popular blog on open source GIS at anitagraser.com. Table of Contents
