As we are going to use QGIS in this chapter, you will need to have a working copy installed on your computer. Installing QGIS is straightforward; therefore, we will not discuss the process. For the best possible experience, update the software to its latest version before proceeding further. The example was created with QGIS 2.10 Pisa.
Tip
If you are using Windows or you need the source code, you can download both at http://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html.
We will also use some third-party libraries, which are provided with the examples. You can find them in the js
folder under the appropriate subdirectory. We will need Shapefile JS, Turf, JSTS, Cesium, and OL3-Cesium. The Cesium library is handled as part of the OL3-Cesium integration library; therefore, it is located in the latter's folder. For this chapter, we will use ch03_layerorder
for the base of our code, just like we did in the previous one.
