Create your own sophisticated applications to analyze and display
geospatial information using QGIS and Python
About This Video
Experience the speed and agility of QGIS and Python by building
sophisticated geospatial applications
Discover how the QGIS Python API can be used to display
information on a map
Learn how to build a complete and sophisticated turnkey mapping
application using the PyQGIS library
In Detail
Using the more advanced aspects of the QGIS geographical
information system, this video course shows how to build
sophisticated geospatial applications using Python. Geospatial
applications are often very complicated; using QGIS, however, you
can avoid a lot of this complexity by developing at a higher
level, making use of the many viewing tools and analyzing and
editing geospatial data provided by the QGIS system. Using these
tools, you can build more sophisticated geospatial applications
with less time and effort
The course starts with an in-depth look at the QGIS Python API
concentrating on how this library can be used to display
information on a map. We then look at how external applications
that use the PyQGIS library can let the user select and edit
geospatial features. We go on to use the knowledge we have gained
to implement a sophisticated turnkey mapping system called
ForestTrails. This application includes the ability to add, edit
and delete tracks on top of a detailed basemap, and lets you
find the shortest path between two points by following the network
of tracks. This example will serve as a springboard for the user s
own developmental efforts, as well as being a complete and very
useful program in its own right
