Quantum GIS is a GIS software designed for desktop use that manages and analyzes geospatial data.
Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a highly versatile Geographic Information System (GIS) software that operates seamlessly across multiple platforms. It offers comprehensive support for both vector and raster formats, including the ability to work with spatially enabled PostgreSQL tables through PostGIS, as well as support for various other GIS vector formats like Shapefiles, and geo-referenced rasters such as TIFF, PNG, and GEOTIFF. Moreover, QGIS boasts a myriad of plugins that can be dynamically added to provide additional functionality.
This software also offers a plugin that allows users to view GRASS layers (both vector and raster) and provides features for editing GRASS vector layers in QGIS. Other key features of Quantum GIS include support for feature labeling, the ability to display attribute tables, identify features, and select them. Additionally, QGIS has an efficient GRASS Digitizing tool for quick and precise digitization.
The latest version of Quantum GIS (QGIS) incorporates several improvements suggested by users, including the addition of a locale tab to the options dialog that makes it easy to override the locale, and notable cleanups and additions to GRASS tools. Moreover, the release comes with a Python Plugin Installer that allows users to download and install plugins from the PyQGIS repository for added functionality. Documentation updates have also been applied, with improvements made for building under MSVC. Lastly, numerous bugs have been fixed, making QGIS more user-friendly and efficient than ever before.
