QGIS tips
A place for me to show tips & hints for using QGIS


Why it’s important to contribute to Open Source even though it’s ‘free’!
Open-source technology is quietly running the world. It's part of the critical infrastructure and hardware that are vital to many of our jobs and most people don’t realise it. Many of my clients use QGIS (mostly as I train people how to use it) and they’re drawn to it because it’s “free” ー not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s accessible and lets you road-test it for nothing before you embed it in your work, so why wouldn’t you?

How do I find the count (number) of features in my layer?
If you want to see the count (total number) of features you have in a layer you don't have to open your attribute table to see the amount you can do it within your layers panel!
