Release date: 2020-03-16 - 32. Visualizing Vector Data (Part 1): Symbology Styles ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 89-20-00052020009Description:
In this QGIS tutorial we’ll cover the available symbology styles and explore their application to text and numeric field types in visualizing vector layers. Follow along as we discuss principles, procedures, and applications of these styles to different fields and vector geometries (i.e. points, lines and polygons). We’ll begin with simple edits to the colour, outline and transparency of layers, prior to applying Categorized and Graduated styles to text and numeric fields, and then conclude with three additional styles available for point layers. For graduated symbologies, the influence of the distributions of values on the mode and break values used in visualization are discussed. Learn to create striking and dynamic visualizations of point geometries with the Point Cluster and Heat Map styles, showing changing point counts and densities with changes in scale and extent. Methods for applying and modifying additional colour ramps and presets are also shown. Apply these skills in developing your own logical and interpretable visualizations for layers relevant to your areas of work and expertise – a prerequisite to creating well-balanced and intuitive maps.
Release date: 2020-03-03 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 89-20-00052020008Description:
This QGIS tutorial introduces the Field Calculator, used to add or update fields within the attribute table and edit features. Like the Select by Expression tool, it uses expression syntax. Follow along as we use these tools in conjunction to select and edit large selections of features. Specifically, we’ll cover syntax for adding geometric measures such as area, length and XY coordinates, as well as creating and editing feature attributes in numeric and text fields – by adding a Class field and updating the speed_rest field (speed limits) in the CPRoads layer. Build upon the foundational skills for writing expressions covered in the previous demo – using these procedures to isolate and populate feature attributes in these fields. Ensure you apply the remaining expressions and save the edits (shown at the end of the video and below) to the CPRoads layer, for use in later tutorials (Demos #10 and 23-25). Extend these skills to add, edit and update fields and feature attributes in layers relevant to your own areas of work and expertise.
Release date: 2020-02-19 - 34. Creating Vector Data ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 89-20-00052020006Description:
In this QGIS tutorial you’ll learn to create a new vector layer and delineate feature geometries. Follow along as we cover the parameters, procedures and tools to delineate your own custom geometries, add fields and populate feature attributes, as well as copy and modify geometries from other layers of interest. These procedures, demonstrated with a polygon vector, equally extend to creating point and line vector geometries. Additionally, learn to enable and disable non-default (e.g. Advanced Digitizing, Shape Digitizing and Snapping) toolbars within QGIS’s interface, and enable editing tools. Apply these skills in creating layers of interest, such as custom clip layer for an area of interest (AOI), land-cover files, or training data, when equivalent datasets does not exist – enabling you to delineate geometries and populate feature attributes that suit your needs.
We’ll use the AOI layer in upcoming tutorials to standardize the extent of layers for further processing and analysis, so be sure to follow along and save your edits at the end of the demo. Stay tuned for the next tutorial, where we’ll introduce tools to select features by their attributes – enabling you to isolate features by criteria, conditions and values of interest within fields of a vector layer’s attribute table.
In this demo, we’ll delineate features with the Add Polygon Feature tool and additional tools on the Shape Digitizing toolbar. The Add Feature tool is the most common and versatile means for creating new features of any geometry type and form, while the latter tools are exclusive to polygon and line vectors - helping rapidly add regular polygon features. The Advanced Digitizing Panel is applied to snap feature segments at specified angles, while the Snapping tool facilitates aligning the vertices or segments of created features to those of other features. Similarly, copying and pasting feature geometries can also ensure alignment of created features with those of interest in other layers.
Release date: 2020-02-18 - 35. Selecting Features by Attributes in QGIS ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 89-20-00052020007Description:
This QGIS tutorial covers attribute-based selection tools, which are used to query, select and subset features in a vector layer by specific criteria, conditions or values of interest within fields of the attribute table. Follow along as we work through different examples using the Select by Value and Select by Expression tools. Learn to isolate features by multiple criteria of interest, use additional selection methods (e.g. add, remove, and select features from a selection) and apply the SQL-like syntax for constructing expressions. This syntax is used in various QGIS tools. We’ll cover foundational rules, and then demonstrate creating expressions and applying associated operators to isolate text and numeric feature attributes. Learn to use wildcard characters and multiple fields in selecting features, as well as procedures for subsetting and exporting selected features to a new layer. You can then extend these skills in selecting and subsetting features by attributes in vector layers relevant to your own areas of work and expertise. We’ll continue building upon these skills in subsequent tutorials, including the next tutorial where we’ll use the Field Calculator and expression syntax to add new fields and edit feature attributes storing spatial measures, numbers and text characters.
