Tutorials
This section is intended to show how to perform basic GIS operations in QGIS in the most straightforward way. It is modelled after “How do I do that in ArcGIS/Manifold?: illustrating classic GIS tasks”. That document illustrated a selection of tasks which were thought to be representative of common usage in 2004, and was itself derived from a checklist of essential GIS functions that was included in 1988 in “A Process for Selecting Geographic Information Systems”. As well as everyday tasks for managing and presenting spatial data, this section includes common operations which are typically one step in a longer process of analysis.

Quantum GIS (QGIS) Tutorials: Using These Tutorials
Digitizing is one of the most common tasks that a GIS Specialist has to do. Often a large amount of ‘GIS time’ is spent in digitizing raster data to create vector layers that you use in your analysis. Quantum GIS has powerful capabilities to digitize raster data. In this tutorial, we will take some high resolution satellite imagery and digitize it to create a vector polygon layer. The imagery we are using today is from Quickbird satellite.
