Paired with the most efficient scripting language—Python, we can write effective scripts that extend the core functionality of QGIS.  Based on version QGIS 2.18, this book will teach you how to write Python code that works with spatial data to automate geoprocessing tasks in QGIS. It will cover topics such as querying and editing vector data and using raster data. You will also learn to create, edit, and optimize a vector layer for faster queries, reproject a vector layer, reduce the number of vertices in a vector layer without losing critical data, and convert a raster to a vector. Following this, you will work through recipes that will help you compose static maps, create heavily customized maps, and add specialized labels and annotations. As well as this, we'll also share a few tips and tricks based on different aspects of QGIS.  Style and approach  This book follows a recipe-based problem-solution approach to address and dispel challenges faced when implementing and using QGIS on a regular basis.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51051496636689,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51051499585809,"sku":"NIN9781787124837","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52451566027025,"sku":"NLS9781787124837","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1787124835.jpg?v=1751025817"},{"product_id":"learning-geospatial-analysis-with-python-book-joel-lawhead-9781837639175","title":"Learning Geospatial Analysis with Python","description":"Harness the powerful Python programming language to navigate the realms of geographic information systems, remote sensing, topography, and more, while embracing a guiding framework for effective geospatial analysis  Key Features  Create GIS solutions using the new features introduced in Python 3.10 Explore a range of GIS tools and libraries, including PostGIS, QGIS, and PROJ Identify the tools and resources that best align with your specific needs Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook  Book DescriptionGeospatial analysis is used in almost every domain you can think of, including defense, farming, and even medicine.
