QGIS for Geographic Information System
21 HoursA geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The term GIS is sometimes used for geographic information science (GIScience), which refers to the academic discipline that studies these systems. This field forms a significant part of the broader academic discipline of geoinformatics.
QGIS functions as geographic information system (GIS) software, enabling users to analyze and edit spatial data, as well as compose and export graphical maps. QGIS supports both raster and vector layers; vector data is stored as point, line, or polygon features. The software can handle multiple formats of raster images and georeference them. In summary, it allows users to create, edit, visualize, analyze, and publish geospatial information on Windows, Mac, Linux, and BSD.
This program begins by introducing the QGIS interface for general use. In the second phase, we delve into PyQGIS—the Python libraries of QGIS that enable the integration of GIS functionalities into your Python code or applications. This allows you to create custom Python plugins tailored to specific GIS tasks.
QGIS Quick Start (Beginner Level)
7 HoursA geographic information system (GIS) is designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The term GIS is sometimes used interchangeably with geographic information science (GIScience), referring to the academic discipline that studies these systems. This field is a significant part of the broader academic domain of geoinformatics.
This instructor-led, live online training is aimed at beginners who wish to gain an understanding of GIS concepts and develop practical skills in using QGIS.
