How is the geocoded data used in QGIS?
They are geocoded by pixel resolution and the x/y coordinate of a corner pixel of the raster layer. This allows QGIS to position the data correctly in the map canvas. QGIS makes use of georeference information inside the raster layer (e.g., GeoTiff) or in an appropriate world file to properly display the data.
Do you need frameworks to install QGIS on Mac?
Unlike the Windows install version, the Mac version requires the installation of two frameworks before you install the QGIS package. While QGIS can install without first installing the frameworks, download the GDAL and GSL frameworks and install them to ensure a more robust installation of QGIS.
How is grass raster data used in GIS?
