Selecting features based on relation-ships between multiple layers; Merging layer features.

QGIS layouts:

Creating a final map for presentation and printing; Combining views, tables, charts, images, north arrows, logos, and

scale bars to create a final map.

Georeferencing with QGIS

Referencing images has always been one of the critical tasks on a GIS platform. QGIS can make it easy job for you

through its tools.

Adjusting vectors with QGIS

Adjusting vectors can be done trough different ways, this includes shifting rotating and scaling the data. Of course such

operation would be carried out using the Affine transformation tools

Topology with QGIS

Cleaning the data is now easy with QGIS opensource software, we will look into how o find several errors on a map,

then fix the errors with ease.

Prerequisites:

Introduction to QGIS is for those with little or no desktop mapping or GIS experience; however, registrants should know
