Study Notes
QGIS Training Overview
- QGIS is a free and open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) program.
- It's free in terms of cost and freedom to modify.
- QGIS is continuously being developed and improved by users and developers.
- Comprehensive help and documentation are available for support.
- It runs on multiple operating systems (macOS, Windows, and Linux).
QGIS Training - Background
- QGIS was launched in 2008 with a free, open-content introduction to GIS.
- It was sponsored by the South African government.
QGIS Training - Interface Overview
- Layers List/Browser Panel: Displays all available layers and their properties (name, geometry type, coordinate system).
- Toolbars: Holds frequently used tools like file operations and project management.
- Map Canvas: The main area where the map is displayed. Users can interact with layers by zooming, panning, and feature selection.
- Status Bar: Displays current map scale, rotation, and coordinates.
- Side Toolbar: Displays options for creating new layers and loading existing layers.
- Locator Bar: Allows searching for geographical locations and coordinates.
QGIS Training - Tools and Bottom Status Bar
- The Status bar allows users to input map scale values.
- The Locator bar provides tools for various map functions such as filtering, digitising and more.
QGIS Training - Layer Panel
- The Layer Panel (map legend) displays layers in the project and lets you manage their visibility.
- Layers can be reordered by dragging in the legend to change Z-ordering.
- A toolbar at the top of the panel allows adding new groups, managing map themes, filtering layers, and showing/hiding private layers.
- Features can be filtered using expressions.
QGIS Training - Bottom Status Bar
- The bottom status bar shows the current map coordinate, scale, magnifier and rotation.
- Users can enter map scales and press enter to update the view.
QGIS Training - Layer Panel
- The layer panel helps manage the visibility of layers within a project.
- Layers can be reordered in the map legend.
- You can add new groups, control visibility, filter layers, and display/interact with 'private' layers.
- The panel lets you filter layers by contents.
