- Explore panels: Browser, Layers, Map Canvas.
- Load sample vector and raster data. (Training Manual: “An Overview of the Interface”, “Adding your first layers”) 2. Navigating Map Canvas & Basic Tools Pan, zoom, identify features. Use selection tools and measure tools. Explore project properties. (Based on “Navigating the Map Canvas”) 3. Symbology & Layer Styling Change symbology for point, line, polygon. Apply color ramps and symbols. Save layer styles. (Based on “Symbology”) 4. Working with Vector Attributes Open attribute table. Sort, filter, calculate field values. Basic statistics. (Based on “Vector Attribute Data”) 5. Labeling Vector Data Use labeling tool. Customize label appearance. 6. Vector Data Classification Classify using unique values and graduated styles. Explore classification methods (Natural Breaks, Quantile). (Based on “Classification”) 7. Creating Print Layout Insert map in layout. Add title, legend, scale bar, north arrow. (Based on “Using Print Layout”) 8. Dynamic Print Layout and Export Create multiple map views. Export as PDF and image 9. Thematic Mapping Create choropleth maps using attribute data 10. Creating New Vector Layers Create point, line, and polygon layers. Add new features manually Spatial Operations 11. Feature Topology and Editing Enable topology rules. Snap to feature 12.
