QGIS 2 Cookbook Become a QGIS power user and master QGIS data management, visualization, and spatial analysis techniques
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : MANDEL Alex
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.
