Algemeen gereedschap¶

Schaalafhankelijk renderen¶

Met schaalafhankelijk tonen is het mogelijk om de minimum en maximum schalen in te stellen waarbij een laag zichtbaar zal zijn. Open het dialoogvenster Eigenschappen door te dubbelklikken op een laag in de legenda om schaalafhankelijk tonen in te stellen. Op de tab Algemeen kan men het keuzevak Gebruik schaalafhankelijk tonen selecteren en vervolgens de minimum en maximum schaalwaarden invullen waarbinnen de laag zichtbaar zal zijn.

You can determine the scale values by first zooming to the level you want to use and noting the scale value in the QGIS status bar.

Controle over het renderen van de kaart¶

Map rendering can be controlled in the various ways, as described below.

Measure length, areas and angles¶

^{Measure Line}: QGIS is able to measure real distances between given points according to a defined ellipsoid. To configure this, choose menu option Settings ‣ Options, click on the Map tools tab and select the appropriate ellipsoid. There, you can also define a rubberband color and your preferred measurement units (meters or feet) and angle units (degrees, radians and gon). The tool then allows you to click points on the map. Each segment length, as well as the total, shows up in the measure window. To stop measuring, click your right mouse button. Note that you can interactively change the measurement units in the measurement dialog. It overrides the Preferred measurement units in the options. There is an info section in the dialog that shows which CRS settings are being used during measurement calculations.

Measure Distance (Gnome)

^{Measure Area}: Areas can also be measured. In the measure window, the accumulated area size appears. In addition, the measuring tool will snap to the currently selected layer, provided that layer has its snapping tolerance set (see section Het instellen van de toleranties voor snappen en Zoekradius). So, if you want to measure exactly along a line feature, or around a polygon feature, first set its snapping tolerance, then select the layer. Now, when using the measuring tools, each mouse click (within the tolerance setting) will snap to that layer.

^{Measure Angle}: You can also measure angles. The cursor becomes cross-shaped. Click to draw the first segment of the angle you wish to measure, then move the cursor to draw the desired angle. The measure is displayed in a pop-up dialog.

Selecteren en deselecteren van objecten¶

The QGIS toolbar provides several tools to select features in the map canvas. To select one or several features, just click on and select your tool:

• ^{Select Single Feature}
• ^{Select Features by Rectangle}
• ^{Select Features by Polygon}
• ^{Select Features by Freehand}
• ^{Select Features by Radius}

To deselect all selected features click on ^{Deselect features from all layers}.

^{Select feature using an expression} allow user to select feature using expression dialog. See Expressies chapter for some example.

Users can save features selection into a New Memory Vector Layer or a New Vector Layer using Edit ‣ Paste Feature as ... and choose the mode you want.

Grid¶

^Grid geeft de mogelijkheid om een coördinatenraster en annotaties van coördinaten toe te voegen aan het kaartvenster.

Figure Decorations 1:

The Grid Dialog

1. Selecteer via het menu Beeld ‣ Decoraties ‣ Grid. Het dialoogvenster opent (zie figure_decorations_1).

2. Activeer het keuzevak Grid activeren en stel de definities voor het raster in, overeenkomstig de geladen lagen in het kaartvenster.

3. Activeer het keuzevak Teken labels en stel de definities voor annotatie in overeenkomstig de lagen die geladen zijn in het kaartvenster.

4. Click [Apply] to verify that it looks as expected.
5. Click [OK] to close the dialog.

Label Copyright¶

^{Copyright label} adds a copyright label using the text you prefer to the map.

Figure Decorations 2:

The Copyright Dialog

1. Selecteer in het menu Beeld ‣ Decoraties ‣ Copyrightlabel. Het dialoogvenster opent (zie figure_decorations_2).

2. Geef de tekst die geplaatst dient te worden op de kaart. U kunt daarbij HTML gebruiken zoals getoond in het voorbeeld.

3. Choose the placement of the label from the Placement combo box.

4. Zorg ervoor dat het keuzevak Copyright Label tonen aangevinkt is.

5. Click [OK].

In the example above, which is the default, QGIS places a copyright symbol followed by the date in the lower right-hand corner of the map canvas.

Noordpijl¶

^{North Arrow} places a simple north arrow on the map canvas. At present, there is only one style available. You can adjust the angle of the arrow or let QGIS set the direction automatically. If you choose to let QGIS determine the direction, it makes its best guess as to how the arrow should be oriented. For placement of the arrow, you have four options, corresponding to the four corners of the map canvas.

The North Arrow Dialog

Schaalbalk¶

^{Scale Bar} adds a simple scale bar to the map canvas. You can control the style and placement, as well as the labeling of the bar.

Figure Decorations 4:

The Scale Bar Dialog

QGIS only supports displaying the scale in the same units as your map frame. So if the units of your layers are in meters, you can’t create a scale bar in feet. Likewise, if you are using decimal degrees, you can’t create a scale bar to display distance in meters.

Een schaalbalk toevoegen:

1. Selecteer via het menu Beeld ‣ Decoraties ‣ Schaalbalk. Het dialoogvenster opent (zie figure_decorations_4).

2. Choose the placement from the Placement combo box.
3. Choose the style from the Scale bar style combo box.
4. Select the color for the bar Color of bar or use the default black color.
5. Set the size of the bar and its label Size of bar .

6. Zorg ervoor dat het keuzevak Schaalbalk gebruiken is aangevinkt.

7. Optionally, check Automatically snap to round number on resize.
8. Click [OK].

HTML-annotaties¶

The ^{Html Annotation} tools in the attribute toolbar provides the possibility to place the content of an html file in a balloon on the QGIS map canvas. Using the Html Annotation tool, click into the map canvas and add the path to the html file into the dialog.

SVG-annotaties¶

The ^{SVG Annotation} tool in the attribute toolbar provides the possibility to place an SVG symbol in a balloon on the QGIS map canvas. Using the SVG Annotation tool, click into the map canvas and add the path to the SVG file into the dialog.

Formulier-annotaties¶

Additionally, you can also create your own annotation forms. The ^{Form Annotation} tool is useful to display attributes of a vector layer in a customized Qt Designer form (see figure_custom_annotation). This is similar to the designer forms for the Identify features tool, but displayed in an annotation item. Also see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pDBuSbQ02o from Tim Sutton for more information.

Favoriete plaats maken¶

Een favoriete plaats maken:

1. Zoom in op een gebied naar keuze.

2. Select the menu option View ‣ New Bookmark or press Ctrl-B.

3. Geef een beschrijvende naam waaronder u de Favoriete plaats op wilt slaan (tot 255 tekens).

4. Press Enter to add the bookmark or [Delete] to remove the bookmark.

Men kan meerdere favorieten onder dezelfde naam opslaan.

Werken met Favoriete plaatsen¶

To use or manage bookmarks, select the menu option View ‣ Show Bookmarks. The Geospatial Bookmarks dialog allows you to zoom to or delete a bookmark. You cannot edit the bookmark name or coordinates.

Zooming to a Bookmark¶

From the Geospatial Bookmarks dialog, select the desired bookmark by clicking on it, then click [Zoom To]. You can also zoom to a bookmark by double-clicking on it.

Deleting a Bookmark¶

To delete a bookmark from the Geospatial Bookmarks dialog, click on it, then click [Delete]. Confirm your choice by clicking [Yes], or cancel the delete by clicking [No].

Import or export a bookmark¶

To share or transfer your bookmarks between computers you can use the Share pull down menu in the Geospatial Bookmarks dialog.

Lagen inbedden¶

Het volgende dialoogvenster maakt het inbedden van lagen vanuit een ander project mogelijk. Hier volgt een voorbeeld:

1. Press to look for another project from the Alaska dataset.
2. Select the project file grassland. You can see the content of the project (see figure_embed_dialog).
3. Press Ctrl and click on the layers grassland and regions. Press [OK]. The selected layers are embedded in the map legend and the map view now.

Figure Nesting 1:

Select layers and groups to embed

Alhoewel u de ingebedde lagen kunt bewerken, kunt u eigenschappen als Stijl en Labels van deze lagen niet aanpassen.

Ingebedde lagen verwijderen¶

Right-click on the embedded layer and choose ^Remove.
