11-05, 13:30–17:00 (Australia/Hobart), Social Sciences 209, University of Tasmania
In this workshop we'll be taking a deep dive into QGIS' tools for data analysis, transformation and conversion. We'll be exploring just how powerful the Processing framework within QGIS is, and use it for a range of common spatial tasks.
N.B. A tea break is included at 3pm for 30 minutes.
Come and join us for some data processing fun in QGIS! In this workshop we'll be taking a deep dive into QGIS' tools for data analysis, transformation and conversion. We'll be exploring just how powerful the Processing framework within QGIS is, and use it for a range of common spatial tasks. We'll begin with simple one-off tasks, and progress up to custom models and automated data-driven analysis.
By the end of this workshop you'll be fully equipped to streamline your daily mapping tasks, and ready to impress your colleagues with your super-human spatial processing speed!
Prerequisite skills:
- Attendees should be familiar with QGIS basics (eg. be comfortable loading layers into QGIS and creating simple maps)
