| Summary, etc. | About This BookThis book is your one-stop solution to all of your GIS needs using the open source QGISMaster QGIS by learning about database integration, geoprocessing tools, Python scripts, advanced cartography, and custom pluginsThis example-rich, practical guide will help you create sophisticated analyses and mapsWho This Book Is For If you are a GIS expert, a consultant, or perhaps a fast learner who wants to go beyond the basics of QGIS, then this book is for you, to help you realize the full potential of QGIS. What You Will LearnCreate and manage a spatial databaseGet to know advanced techniques to style GIS dataPrepare both vector and raster data for processingAdd heat maps, live layer effects, and labels to your mapsAdding LAStools and GRASS integration with the Processing ToolboxEdit and repair topological data errorsAutomate workflows with batch processing and the QGIS Graphical ModelerIntegrate Python scripting into your data processing workflowsDevelop your own QGIS pluginIn Detail QGIS is an open source solution to GIS that's widely used by GIS professionals. Starting with a refresher on the QGIS basics, this book will help you to create your first custom QGIS plugin. You will learn 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. You will also see how to prepare vectors and heat maps, create live layer effects, labeling, raster data for processing, and advanced data creation and editing techniques. Moving ahead, the book covers 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 creating graphical models. Finally, you will see how to create and run Python data processing scripts and write your own QGIS |
