QGIS aims to be an easy to use GIS, providing common functions and
|
||
|
|
features. The initial goal was to provide a GIS data viewer, but now
|
||
|
|
it also permits to edit, create and analyze lots of spatial datas.
|
||
|
|
QGIS supports a number of raster and vector data formats, with new
|
||
|
|
support easily added using the plugin architecture.
|
||
|
|
Supported formats are :
|
||
|
|
- spatially-enabled PostgreSQL tables using PostGIS.
|
||
|
|
- most vector formats supported by the OGR library, including ESRI
|
||
|
|
shapefiles, MapInfo, SDTS and GML.
|
||
|
|
- raster formats supported by the GDAL library, such as digital
|
||
|
|
elevation models, aerial photography or landsat imagery.
|
||
|
|
- online spatial data served as OGC-compliant WMS or WFS.
