QGIS for Beginners

[@MarkVanOuse]

I've used QGIS for several years and wanted to have someone else get up to speed quickly with QGIS. I found this video and it does a great job of going through the basics, from the user interface through many of the core concepts.

[@geospatialschool]

Glad it helped!

[@jklw0225]

Thank you! it helps me a lot as a beginner.

[@patriciabelcher802]

Watch and follow. It works

[@geospatialschool]

I'm glad everything worked for you

[@hawraaraheem2449]

If i use browse where the these maps are found its not appear in my qgis

[@akadad1950]

Also - not done with tutorial yet but want to jump ahead a bit and ask WHERE do I best stash downloaded GIS layers/data?

[@geospatialschool]

Everyone has to figure that out on their own. It depends on how you have files organized on your system. I like to have a folder for projects, and a subfolders for project categories/individual projects, then store data in those folders. Sometimes I have a data folder and store data in categorized subfolders. I try to duplicate data as little as possible (it can be hard to do). Just depends. You'll have to figure out what works best for you.

how did you get those attributes you are adding? i am trying for my country as well, i cant find them anywhere on the web. how can i create my own to add to a map of my country

[@enochfever8196]

[@leira3934]

how do you get the vecter data to show on the map

[@AfuaAsogyaaBoateng]

How do I get the shape files

[@patildhrushti2298]

Amazing sir..u are great 👍

[@AerachEile]

What none of these tutorials address is where does the beginner get their data files? It’s just assumed you have some or you use the tutorial files.

[@geospatialschool]

All the files used in this tutorial are publicly available and can be obtained from the US census bureau or the national map. Those that wish to have the data prepackaged can obtain it by signing up for my course

[@lkledu2]

did you have any video about how raster a map image to generate DEM?

[@geospatialschool]

Not sure what you're asking

[@elizabethogunsote5754]

Super helpful!! Thank you

[@geospatialschool]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wilmarifrancettetheron5178]

VERY HELPFUL!

[@geospatialschool]

Glad it was helpful!

[@redceconomist9866]

Great video! It sounds like you're recording from a cockpit... on the scratchy "this is your captain speaking" microphone. Regardless, thanks for sharing this great content.

[@geospatialschool]

I'm glad you found this helpful. Sorry about the audio, hopefully newer videos are better.

[@rosemberg3270]

Thank you for your help.

[@geospatialschool]

You're welcome!

[@abigaila.jubilee6329]

Dear sir, what about the catchments that have different RGBA values in the attributes? How can I convert them to polygon then to polyline? I didn't manage to able to polygonize the raster attributes table as the log message says "gdal_polygonize.bat failed to start. Either gdal_polygorize.bat is missing, or you may have insufficient permission to run the program.."

[@mikezimmer1073]

great tutorial

[@geospatialschool]

Thanks!

[@jenniferfree8746]

Great video thank you

Glad it was helpful!

[@吳士宏-r5x]

hi, I have multiple ascii files, I want to load ascii file converter kml file, can you teach me how to do with PyQGIS?

[@BlueAcidball]

@Armani Makai dunno if anyone gives a damn about that either

[@moattarsamim]

How to get shape file or we have to create one?

[@geospatialschool]

You can download the data used here for free many other datasets are also available for free online. Just search for the data you are looking for plus 'shapefile' and you should find something. The shapefiles in this tutorial can be obtained from data.gov and/or census.gov. To keep this tutorial concise, I have not shown data download here. Members of the full QGIS course also have access to all the data used in this tutorial: geospatialschool.com/courses/qgis-for-beginners/
