Processing toolbox

The processing toolbox in QGIS 3.4 is accessed from Processing | Toolbox. In this chapter, we will utilize many tools via the processing toolbox. This has a fast search feature, which is the easiest method for finding a tool. If you are familiar with older versions of QGIS, you will still find many of the tools in the locations or menus where they were previously available. Many plugins often become core functions in QGIS. If you cannot find the plugin, try searching the toolbox first.Alternatively you can also search for tools in the information toolbar.

The most commonly used GIS tools automate tasks that were historically done manually—compiling new maps by overlaying one on top of the other or physically cutting maps into pieces representing specific study areas, changing their projection, and getting meaningful results from the various layers by applying mathematical functions and operations. This book is an easy-to-follow guide to use the most matured open source GIS tools for these tasks.
