I was experimenting with Simplify in QGIS the other day and I wanted to get an idea of how many vertices were being removed from my geometries when I adjusted the Simplify settings.
I woke up thinking about a fragment of a map the other day, and it occurred to me that what I was picturing could probably be made using geometry generators in QGIS. I was picturing something like this:
So I thought I’d have a whack at making it.
Things I got up to in the last week:
And some more words about a few of those…
I’ve been using ArcGIS for the first time in the last couple of weeks and I’ve come across the Swipe tool. My immediate thought was “oh that’s awesome” which was swiftly followed by “I wonder if QGIS has this as well?”
Last month I took part in my first 30DayMapChallenge – a daily mapmaking challenge that takes place in November each year.
For the graded assignment in the Introduction to Mapping, Spatial Data and GIS course I completed in June I made the following map:
Things I got up to in the last week:
Some rambles about each of those:
In Lesson 4 of GEOG 868 I completed a site selection using PostGIS.
The Making Maps unit for the Introduction to Mapping, Spatial Data and GIS course I completed in June featured a tourism case study. The exercise that week was to create a tourist map of Melbourne in Australia.
In Lesson 3 of GEOG 868 I played around with PostgreSQL and PostGIS for the first time. For the project at the end you are given a class_roster.txt file that contains a list of students and their postal codes. The task was to join that with data provided earlier in the lesson and then plot the students’ locations on a map in QGIS. Here’s how I went about doing that.
