Overview of this book

QGIS is a user-friendly, cross-platform desktop geographic information system used to make maps and analyze spatial data. QGIS allows users to understand, question, interpret, and visualize spatial data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps. This book is a collection of simple to advanced techniques that are needed in everyday geospatial work, and shows how to accomplish them with QGIS. You will begin by understanding the different types of data management techniques, as well as how data exploration works. You will then learn how to perform classic vector and raster analysis with QGIS, apart from creating time-based visualizations. Finally, you will learn how to create interactive and visually appealing maps with custom cartography. By the end of this book, you will have all the necessary knowledge to handle spatial data management, exploration, and visualization tasks in QGIS.

Reporting bugs


Once you have found a bug and collected all the potentially useful information about its occurrence, it is time to create a bug report.

This recipe shows you how to file a bug report in a right way.

Getting ready

While QGIS project hosts its own bugtracker, you still need an OSGeo User ID to use it. If you don't have an OSGeo account, create one by filling in the form at https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/ldap_create_user.py.

How to do it…

Go to the QGIS bugtracker at http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/issues and use your OSGeo User ID and password to log in. The Login link is located in the top-right corner of the page.
