Master data management, visualization, and spatial analysis
techniques in QGIS and become a GIS power user About This Book *
Learn how to work with various types of 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 * This progressive,
hands-on guide builds on a geo-spatial data and adds more reactive
maps using geometry tools. Who This Book Is For If you are a user,
developer, or consultant and want to know how to use QGIS to
achieve the results you are used to from other types of GIS, then
this learning path is for you. You are expected to be comfortable
with core GIS concepts. This Learning Path will make you an expert
with QGIS by showing you how to develop more complex, layered map
applications. It will launch you to the next level of GIS users.
What You Will Learn * Create your first map by styling both vector
and raster layers from different data sources * Use parameters such
as precipitation, relative humidity, and temperature to predict the
vulnerability of fields and crops to mildew * Re-project vector and
raster data and see how to convert between different style formats
* Use a mix of web services to provide a collaborative data system
* Use raster analysis and a model automation tool to model the
physical conditions for hydrological analysis * Get the most out of
the cartographic tools to in QGIS to reveal the advanced tips and
tricks of cartography In Detail The first module Learning QGIS,
Third edition covers the installation and configuration of QGIS.
You'll become a master in data creation and editing, and creating
great maps. By the end of this module, you'll be able to extend
QGIS with Python, getting in-depth with developing custom tools for
the Processing Toolbox. The second module QGIS Blueprints gives you
an overview of the application types and the technical aspects
along with few examples from the digital humanities. After
estimating unknown values using interpolation methods and
demonstrating visualization and analytical techniques, the module
ends by creating an editable and data-rich map for the discovery of
community information. The third module QGIS 2 Cookbook covers data
input and output with special instructions for trickier formats.
Later, we dive into exploring data, data management, and
preprocessing steps to cut your data to just the important areas.
At the end of this module, you will dive into the methods for
analyzing routes and networks, and learn how to take QGIS beyond
the out-of-the-box features with plug-ins, customization, and
add-on tools. This Learning Path combines some of the best that
Packt has to offer in one complete, curated package. It includes
content from the following Packt products: ? Learning QGIS, Third
Edition by Anita Graser ? QGIS Blueprints by Ben Mearns ? QGIS 2
Cookbook by Alex Mandel, Victor Olaya Ferrero, Anita Graser,
Alexander Bruy Style and approach This Learning Path will get you
up and running with QGIS. We start off with an introduction to QGIS
and create maps and plugins. Then, we will guide you through
Blueprints for geographic web applications, each of which will
teach you a different feature by boiling down a complex workflow
into steps you can follow. Finally, you'll turn your attention to
becoming a QGIS power user and master data management,
visualization, and spatial analysis techniques of QGIS.
