In vector cartography, the map is only as good as the data that powers it. If we don’t understand what’s going on in the underlying data, we’re pretty limited in our cartographic approach. A major part of this work involves parsing vector tile data, determining how one dataset compares to another, and diagnosing bugs encountered...| Stamen

Invasion is a film by Hugo Santiago, written with Borges and Bioy Casares. The plot takes place in the city of Aquilea, a chimerical construction made of parts of Buenos Aires. In the film the city is the scene of resistance to the invaders, reflecting the Argentine socio-political context of the time.

This post contains a few GIS related thoughts, offered in the spirit of sharing that's at the core of open source. A bit like QGIS itself, I hope. My goal is not to convince anyone that they should be using QGIS but rather to convince potential GIS users that QGIS is now, at 21 years old, a mature, robust, powerful product used by millions of users and thousands of major corporations and universities worldwide - as well as lots of small companies like my own. | Stats, Maps n Pix

This is a short tutorial about how to display label callouts (sometimes referred to as 'leader lines') in QGIS. This has been possible for a while, but not everyone knows it's possible, or how to do it. So long as you're using QGIS version 3.10 or later, you create callouts for your labels very easily. Before going any further, here's an example of a map where label callouts would be useful (below). And here's the map layer I'm using for this tutorial, in case you want to follow along with th...| Stats, Maps n Pix
In one of my many 'playing around with map stuff and then posting it on twitter' adventures, I recently posted a kind of comet map - see below. This started off as something completely different but once I had the basic idea I then wondered what kind of data I could apply it to, and that's why I did it to the UK political map of 2019. Read on below for how I did it, as well as how you can replicate it pretty easily in QGIS. Scroll straight to the bottom if you're just looking for the 'how-to'...| Stats, Maps n Pix
