Summary


This chapter covered more advanced ways to create GIS data from different sources. We provided explanations and step-by-step examples of mapping raw coordinate data, geocoding address-based data, georeferencing imagery, validating vector data with topological rules, and topological editing. With the topics covered to this point, you will be able to work with a variety of vector, raster, and tabular input data.

In the next chapter, we will switch from preparing and editing data to performing spatial analyses. We will cover the QGIS processing toolbox. We will begin with a comprehensive overview and a description of layout of the toolbox. We will then explore the various algorithms and tools that are available in the toolbox with real-world examples.
