How does the toolbox work in QGIS?
It shows the list of all available algorithms grouped in different blocks, and it is the access point to run them, whether as a single process or as a batch process involving several executions of the same algorithm on different sets of inputs. The toolbox contains all the available algorithms, divided into predefined groups.
Where to find toolset in QGIS toolbar?
Notice that the number of visible toolset items depends on the available screen-size. Click on the double-right bracket at the right or bottom of any toolset to see the complete list of tools available for any toolbar.
How to enable move control on QGIS toolbar?
You will see fewer options on the TOOLBAR AREA (Manage Layers by default is vertical down the left side) Click on the TOOLBAR handle (gray dots on left or top edge of a toolset) to enable MOVE control. Drag the TOOLBAR handle to any open space on TOOLBAR AREA and let go Now the user interface will be reset.
How do you execute an algorithm in QGIS?
To execute an algorithm, just double-click on its name in the toolbox. Once you double-click on the name of the algorithm that you want to execute, a dialog similar to that in the figure below is shown (in this case, the dialog corresponds to the ‘Polygon centroids’ algorithm).
Is it possible to run QGIS under Windows?
In the case of running QGIS under Windows, these algorithms are fully-functional in a fresh installation of QGIS, and they can be run without requiring any additional installation. Also, running them requires no prior knowledge of the external applications they use, making them more accesible for first-time users.
How does a vector input work in QGIS?
If the button corresponding to a vector input is toggled, the algorithm will be executed iteratively on each one of its features, instead of just once for the whole layer, producing as many outputs as times the algorithm is executed. This allows for automating the process when all features in a layer have to be processed separately.
Where to find minimum coverage in QGIS toolbox?
Clicking on the button on the right-hand side of the value selector, a pop-up menu will appear, giving you three options: to use the minimum coverage from all input layers. If you select the first option, you will see a window like the next one.
