Introduction To QGIS
•QGIS (Quantum Geographic Information System) is an open-source GIS software.

•It allows users to visualize, analyze, and edit spatial data.

•Supports multiple formats and integrates with various GIS applications.

Uses of QGIS
•Mapping and cartography

•Spatial data analysis

•Land use and environmental monitoring

•Urban and regional planning

•Infrastructure management
Applications • Environmental impact assessments

of QGIS • Natural resource management

• Transportation and urban planning

• Disaster risk management

• Agriculture and soil analysis


• Menu Bar – Contains essential tools
(File, Edit, View, Layer, Plugins,
Understanding QGIS etc.).
Interface • Toolbars – Quick access to common
tools (Zoom, Select, Pan, Identify,
etc.).
• Layers Panel – Manages added spatial
layers.
• Map Canvas – Displays the geographic
data.
• Browser Panel – Helps navigate
directories and databases.

Basic Data Types
in QGIS
1.Vector Data – Represents geographic features
using points, lines, and polygons.
• Precise representation, useful for discrete
features (e.g., roads, buildings).
2.Raster Data – Represents continuous data like
elevation, temperature, or satellite imagery.
Grid-based representation, useful for continuous
data (e.g., terrain models, climate data).
Point, Line, and Polygon in
QGIS
• Point: Represents a single coordinate (e.g.,
trees, wells, locations).
• Line: Connects multiple points to form paths
(e.g., roads, rivers).
• Polygon: A closed shape formed by lines (e.g.,
land parcels, lakes).
Attribute Table in QGIS
• Contains tabular data related to spatial
features.
• Includes columns (fields) and rows (features).
• Can store names, IDs, coordinates, and other
information.

Nodes in QGIS

•Nodes are key points that define the shape of vector features.

•Found in points, lines, and polygons:

•Point: A single node.

•Line: Multiple nodes connected to form a path.

•Polygon: Nodes connected to form a closed shape.

•Node Tool in QGIS allows editing of feature geometry.

•Used for modifying shapes, aligning features, and refining spatial accuracy.
