How to sample raster values at point locations in QGIS?
In a by now fairly old post I described how to sample raster values at point location in QGIS. The method I described used the ‘ Point Sampling Tool’ addon. However, the function creates a new point layer, which only contains the values extracted from the raster layer. None of the fields in the original point layer is copied to the new one.
Is it possible to join the attribute table in QGIS?
It is possible to join the attribute table of the new vector point layer with the original attribute table afterwards using a spatial join as explained in that post. However, this will not work if your point data includes points with exactly the same coordinates. Since I wrote that post, QGIS has come a long way.
How is QGIS used to change the geometry?
Based on layer data and prebuilt or user defined functions, it offers a powerful way to manipulate attribute value, geometry and variables in order to dynamically change the geometry style, the content or position of the label, the value for diagram, the height of a composer item, select some features, create virtual field

How is dem represented in a sampling raster file?
A new and updated version is available at Sampling Raster Data using Points or Polygons (QGIS3) Many scientific and environmental datasets come as gridded rasters. Elevation data (DEM) is also distributed as raster files. In these raster files, the parameter that is being represented is encoded as the pixel values of the raster.
