This script prints the geographic bounding-box corners of a raster layer to the QGIS console in the project’s projection system, converting them from pixel coordinates via the GDAL GeoTransform and reprojecting them using the OSR `CoordinateTransformation`. It reads the active layer’s source path with `gdal.Open`, extracts the raster dimensions and geotransform, and transforms each corner from the layer’s spatial reference to its geographic counterpart. The output provides the top-left and bottom-right coordinates needed for a Leaflet `imageOverlay`.

Funcionalidades básicas de QGIS (III)

This example demonstrates how to create a point layer from earthquake data and work with raster files in QGIS. It shows the process of downloading earthquake records from the USGS catalog as a CSV file, importing this delimited text layer into QGIS, and specifying the coordinate reference system (WGS84, EPSG:4326) for geographic coordinates. The tutorial then applies a size assistant to scale point symbols based on earthquake magnitude, filters the data using expressions like "mag" > 5, and adds supplementary layers such as Natural Earth administrative boundaries and tectonic plate shapefiles with categorized styling and labels. The workflow covers loading the CSV via QGIS’s delimited-text layer dialog, configuring X/Y coordinate fields, and managing layer properties for visual customization.

This example demonstrates how to load and manage LiDAR point cloud layers in QGIS using Python, showing both automatic and manual index generation for LAZ files from the French IGN LIDAR HD dataset. It uses the QgsPointCloudLayer class with the PDAL provider, QgsProject for layer management, and QgsPointCloudDataProvider to check indexing state, generate indexes, and retrieve polygon bounds, point counts, and renderer information. The script also prints coordinate reference system details and renderer type, illustrating direct provider-level access to point cloud metadata.

A gallery of QGIS processing algorithms demonstrates raster and vector geospatial operations, including GDAL tools for terrain analysis like slope, hillshade, and aspect, alongside GRASS GIS modules for image classification and evapotranspiration modeling. The visualizations show how these algorithms transform data layers, with outputs ranging from contour lines and tessellated polygons to color-relief rasters and interpolated surfaces.

This visualization displays a QGIS project containing world map layers—countries, states, provinces, and disputed borders—from the bundled `world_map.gpkg` GeoPackage, alongside JSON-derived point layers for contributors, hackfests, and user groups. Using the QGIS Python API, the script loads each vector layer via `QgsVectorLayer` with OGR drivers, adds them to the project through `QgsProject.instance().addMapLayers`, and enables a retro canvas style by setting `iface.mapCanvas().setProperty("retro", True)` before refreshing. The example demonstrates procedural map composition from built-in geodata files.

This visualization shows a clipped portion of a Mars elevation raster dataset, rendering it as a base64-encoded PNG image for a defined geographic region. The SQL code uses PostGIS functions including `ST_AsPng`, `ST_Resample`, and `ST_ClipEx` to extract and resample the raster, while `ST_World2RasterCoordX` and `ST_World2RasterCoordY` convert real-world coordinates to raster grid positions. A multipolygon defines the area of interest, which is also converted to a raster grid via `ST_AsRaster` for alignment. The query filters rows with `St_Intersects` to return only relevant raster tiles, demonstrating spatial clipping and coordinate transformation for remote-sensing data delivery.

Tile by Bounding Box

This example demonstrates how to automatically position map tiles from OpenStreetMap to fit a specified geographic bounding box, using a Mercator projection. The code calculates the necessary scale and translation to center the bounding box, adjusts the projection with `d3.geoMercator()`, and generates the appropriate tile URLs via `d3.tile()`. A vector outline of US states, rendered with `d3.geoPath()`, is overlaid on the raster tiles to show the projection's alignment.

Zoom to your current location in QGIS (assuming EPSG 4326)

This example shows QGIS automatically centering its map canvas on the viewer’s current geographic location. The map extent is set to a fixed 0.01-degree square around the coordinates obtained from the IP geolocation service ipinfo.io. The code uses the Python `pycurl` library to fetch the JSON response, `json` to parse the latitude and longitude, and the QGIS Python API (`qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas()` with `setExtent` and `QgsRectangle`) to update the view. No additional mapping libraries are used beyond QGIS’s native canvas.

This PyQGIS script exports the column metadata of an active PostgreSQL layer to a CSV file. It shows the structure of every column, including data type, nullability, precision, defaults, and comments from the `information_schema.columns` view. Working within QGIS, it uses `QgsProviderRegistry` to create a PostgreSQL connection, executes the query via `executeSql`, sanitizes null `QVariant` values, and writes the results with Python’s `csv` module. The final CSV file is then added back to the map as a vector layer.
