Become a QGIS power user and master QGIS data management,
visualization, and spatial analysis techniques About This Book *
Explore and create time-based visualizations and build interactive
maps * Maximize your use of the QGIS features, plugins and toolbox
automation * Packed with lots of sample datasets to enable a better
understanding of the code Who This Book Is For If you are an
intermediate GIS user, with either previous experience in QGIS or
any other GIS application, this is the book for you. The recipes
can be used to learn more advanced techniques in QGIS or to
replicate the functionalities equivalent to other GIS platforms.
This book assumes that you already have a working QGIS system in
place. What You Will Learn * Import and export common tricky
spatial data formats * Perform classic vector and raster analysis
with QGIS * Utilize spatial databases and data management tools *
Use and create geographic web services and maps * Explore and
create time-based visualizations * Perform network building and
routing analysis * Extend QGIS capabilities with popular plugins
and toolbox automation * Make beautiful and unique maps with
customized cartography In Detail QGIS is a user-friendly,
cross-platform desktop geographic information system used to make
maps and analyze spatial data. QGIS allows users to understand,
question, interpret, and visualize spatial data in many ways that
reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps.
This book is a collection of simple to advanced techniques that are
needed in everyday geospatial work, and shows how to accomplish
them with QGIS. You will begin by understanding the different types
of data management techniques, as well as how data exploration
works. You will then learn how to perform classic vector and raster
analysis with QGIS, apart from creating time-based visualizations.
Finally, you will learn how to create interactive and visually
appealing maps with custom cartography. By the end of this book,
you will have all the necessary knowledge to handle spatial data
management, exploration, and visualization tasks in QGIS. Style and
approach This book covers practical examples, with step-by-step
instructions on how to use real world data covering common GIS
operations and the different analysis techniques. It provides
detailed explanations and applications of QGIS concepts that will
allow the user to effectively analyze spatial data.
