In this chapter, we had a closer look into how we can create some more complex maps using advanced vector-layer styles such as the categorized or rule-based style. We also covered the automatic and manual feature-labeling options available in QGIS. This chapter also showed you how to create printable maps using print composer, and it introduced the Atlas functionality to create map books. Congratulations! In the chapters so far, you learned how to install and use QGIS to create, edit, and analyze spatial data and how to present it in an effective manner. In the following chapter, we will have a look at expanding the QGIS functionality using Python.
