This post summarizes my notes about installing QGIS Server on Ubuntu, adding a QGIS project file to the server and using the WMS in an OpenLayers application. Installation First, it’s useful to figure out the Ubuntu version:

QGIS has a lot of plugins, including over 180 that have been contributed by users. If you aren’t using plugins, you are missing out on a lot that QGIS has to offer. I’m starting what I hope to be a regular feature: Plugin of the Week . This week we’ll take a look at Time Manager . Time Manager lets you browse spatial data that has a temporal component. Essentially this includes anything that changes location through time.

About QGIS
Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a powerful and user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS) that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, Windows and Android. QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats. QGIS is licensed under the GNU Public License.I am having trouble getting my files to transfer or export to a vector file. When I open the file in Adobe illustrator there is a lot of information missing. I have tried to "save selection as a vector..." I have all my layer selected.
Exporting QGIS to Illustrator
To create a map, one has to style the GIS data and present it in a form that is visually informative. There are a large number of options available in QGIS to apply different types of symbology to the underlying data. In this tutorial, we will explore some basics of styling.

Create legend with LegendSVG
QGIS does not create a proper legend for maps with pie charts or circles with variable size. I wrote a program to produce legends in Scalable Vector Format (SVG). In the QGIS Composer, the result can be added to the map as an image. If necessary, the legend can first be modified with a SVG-editor like Inkscape .
Quantum GIS is an open source GIS desktop software more popularly known as QGIS. QGIS 1.0 was first released in January of 2009 although development on the software began back in 2002 by Gary Sherman with the first versions of the software intended as a GIS data viewer for PostGIS. QGIS is increasingly becoming a viable alternative to commercial GIS desktop software options such as Esri’s ArcGIS suite of GIS software due to its user friendly interface and user support resources including an active user forum .

Making simple map images with qGIS | Neogeo ramblings with a Python twist
Occasionally you just need a quick map, and it’s not going to be used for interaction or even necessarily display on the internet (say a Keynote/PowerPoint presentation, for example). We could build it as a Google map, get a gigantic computer monitor and fullscreen the window and take a screenshot, and have it look like every other web map out there – or we can reach into the toolbox of those who are NOT neogeographers and borrow a few things. For me this tool is still qGIS ( for Mac check out KyngChaos for binary builds ), though there are alternatives like GRASS GIS and TileMill , to name only a couple.QGIS export happens in the print dialog box. You can save your map as an image or one of two formats than can be read in Adobe Illustrator. Go to the File menu and select New Print Composer .

QGIS Raster to vector and Change projection
—Contribute to this tutorial by completing one section welcome ! [ edit ] Projection (0%) → waiting a volunteer Equirectangular projection of the world; the standard parallel is the equator (plate carrée projection). BackgroundQGIS understands three major forms of data. Two of these are spatial (ie, they contain information allows it to be shown in space) and the third contains no spatial data (" aspatial data ") The two spatial data types are: Vector data . Vector data can be drawn by lines of varying lengths; that is points, lines or polygons. In QGIS vector files can only contain one of these three types in a file.
