Detail QGIS is an open source solution to GIS. It is widely used by
GIS professionals all over the world. It is the leading alternative
to the proprietary GIS software. Although QGIS is described as
intuitive, it is also by default complex. Knowing which tools to
use and how to apply them is essential to producing valuable
deliverables on time. Starting with a refresher on the QGIS basics,
this book will take you all the way through to creating your first
custom QGIS plugin. From the refresher, we will recap how to
create, populate, and manage a spatial database. You'll also walk
through styling GIS data, from creating custom symbols and color
ramps to using blending modes. In the next section, you will
discover how to prepare vector, heat maps, and create live layer
effects, labeling, and raster data for processing. You'll also
discover advanced data creation and editing techniques. The last
third of the book covers the more technical aspects of QGIS such as
using LAStools and GRASS GIS's integration with the Processing
Toolbox, how to automate workflows with batch processing, and how
to create graphical models. Finally, you will see how to create and
run Python data processing scripts and write your own QGIS plugin
with pyqgis. By the end of the book, you will understand how to
work with all the aspects of QGIS, and will be ready to use it for
any type of GIS work. Style and approach This step-by-step
comprehensive guide will let you dig your teeth into working with
spatial databases, creating your own QGIS plugins, and creating
your own custom graphical models.
