Also this is a floating table and can adjust its width and height as desired.

qml style and loaded to apply to other layers. It is very interesting how are set objects attributes because in the same panel there are tabs for general properties, simbology, metadata, labels, actions and tabular attributes, all can be saved as a. A lot of processes include a progress bar, which seems very good. The OGR converter is interesting because it can convert layers between different formats, such as shp, dgn, gml, csv, kml, gpx, mapinfo, as well as spatial database via ODBC, MySQL, PostgreSQL, among others.īasic functions, like other tools, it can be created spatial bookmarks, groups of layers, the layers have control of minimum and maximum zoom, easily to add coordinates and projection systems in shp layers case, if they have prj, Qgis rescues this information. Similar to what happens with gvSIG and Sextant although the maturity of Grass is respectable, as it is one of the oldest GIS tools. But the best is the option to load Grass plugins that are a separate issue. The formation of this interface design makes it more profitable, the floating frame is the best from the design it reminds me of Microstation, as in the case, the window attributes can be deployed without affecting other operations.ĭata analysis, has the basics of geoprocessing and research that anyone could require, at first glance there are some interesting features that I prefer to see on another occasion, because Ftools plugins include terrain modeling, hydrological and others.Įxtra plugins, like any GPL application, its gain is in the plugins that are slowly created by the community (although with the advantage of not being in Java) by default brings the basic and they seem few but they are not as simple as they seem: WFS layers can be loaded, export to MapServer, capture a coordinate, add support to the view as north, scale and copyright, comma delimited text, has a dxf to shp converter, a plug-in for georeferencing images, gps console, python console, grid coordinates, etc. Also in the bottom frame have the search and selection functions, much like what Manifold GIS has, apart from simple status bar. It’s very functional, with zoom options to the selected rows and change of column’s width with a simple mouse drag. The bottom panel to display the attribute table, appears in the area, but can also be floating. Also wide management is a simple drag not only in the left panel but at the bottom. The side frame, just great, you can drag the plugins as labels to the foreground, it can be made as floating, and with a simple right button it can be turn on or off. Very useful, you can choose which layers you want to see in the overview, and can be released as a floating window to different sizes. The overview in the left panel is a map showing the deployment area, with two-way synchronization. This is very handy I remember that in AutoCAD this was one of the best tricks when almost everything was done via keyboard. Shortcuts, A lot of commands have a letter assigned, so that you can load the function with the press of this letter. When you want to load a Grass data set, as it was not installed the application got closed, so I do not recommend using it without installing both tools. When you start QGIS and not find it installed, raise an alert in this case I’m doing a review without including Grass. QGIS requires Grass to many features that this tool has well established it’s very good to avoid duplicating efforts. This aspect was previously criticized on gvSIG, because at some point in appearance and creativity disparity made that a manager told me “ looks like a veteran program, some icons appear to have been made with 8-bit Paintbrush.”īut in this shallowness QGIS goes very well, even with a single click it can be choose between 3 different iconography themes very well conceptualized, just passing the mouse on the item shows how the interface would be seen. The iconography and interface design is the most redeemable, does not affect usability, but indeed it affects in corporate taste (sell) at the time of offering.

We will test the input version 1.02 that has left me quite pleased to be free to use tool that can be downloaded from this link and this is the official website of Qgis.

The project was born in May 2002, with support for 26 languages and its license is GPL.

QGIS was developed in C + + using Qt toolkit, runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.

While waiting on Monday, by which time I hope to have the satisfaction of congratulating the performance of speech, at the cost of surely sleeplessness developers, let’s take a look at QGIS at the fly. So far the test has been great, according to the perceived volume of distribution lists. If gvSIG friends fulfilled their promise, next Monday July 27th we will have the 1.9 stable version.
