QGIS is a free and open source GIS software that is available for download from the QGIS website and compatible with all systems. It is a member of the GNU project and provides access to spatial data processing, manipulation, and visualization. Its interface is similar to ArcMap, but has fewer tools. Similar to R, users are able to create new tools for QGIS by programing python scripts that must be approved by the QGIS team. Once approved the scripts become downloadable plugins for the program. |

Purpose
The purpose of this tutorial is to familiarize users with open source software, that will teach them how to manipulate, process, and map using freely accessible data. This tutorial will teach users skills such as:
- adding shp and csv data
- preforming complex attribute queries
- creating new layers from selected features
- Splitting vector layers
- Creating joins
- Adjusting layer visual features
- Creating raster heatmaps
- Generating a distance matrix
- Conducting a hierarchical cluster analysis
Installation
Quantum GIS (QGIS)
QGIS is a free and open source GIS software that is available for download from the QGIS website and compatible with all systems. It is a member of the GNU project and provides access to spatial data processing, manipulation, and visualization. Its interface is similar to ArcMap, but has fewer tools. Similar to R, users are able to create new tools for QGIS by programing python scripts that must be approved by the QGIS team. Once approved the scripts become downloadable plugins for the program.
