Sinopse: Master data management, visualization, and spatial analysis techniques in QGIS and become a GIS power userKey Features: - 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.Book Description: 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.
