We have looked at geographic/spatial data in QGIS. We talked about vector and raster formats. This chapter has introduced the default file new format, GeoPackage. In the next chapter, we will be creating data in a GeoPackage. QGIS still fully supports Shapefiles and GeoTIFFs, and they are both still widely used throughout many sectors and the GIS community. In Chapter 7, Expanding QGIS 3, we will look at exporting and loading text files into and out of QGIS.
We have explored the options for exploring data, via Attributes Toolbar. We looked at querying, selecting, and measuring data. There is so much more we can do, and in the next chapter we will look at building data in QGIS.
