QGIS GUI

When QGIS starts, you are presented with the GUI as shown in the figure (the numbers 1 through 5 in yellow circles are discussed below).

Figure QGIS GUI 1:

QGIS GUI with Alaska sample data nix

Note

As decorações na sua janela (Barra de Títulos, etc.) podem aparecer diferente maneira dependendo do seu sistema operativo e gestor de janelas.

The QGIS GUI is divided into five areas:

  1. Barra de Menus

  2. Tool Bar
  3. Map Legend

  4. Vista do Mapa

  5. Barra de Estado

These five components of the QGIS interface are described in more detail in the following sections. Two more sections present keyboard shortcuts and context help.

Barra de Ferramentas

A barra de ferramentas fornece o acesso à maioria das mesmas funções que dos menus, mais as ferramentas adicionais para interagir com o mapa. Cada item da barra de ferramentas tem uma janela de ajuda disponível. Mantenha o seu rato em cima do item e uma descrição curta da finalidade da ferramenta irá ser exibida.

Every menu bar can be moved around according to your needs. Additionally, every menu bar can be switched off using your right mouse button context menu, holding the mouse over the toolbars (read also Panels and Toolbars).

Tip

Restaurar as Barras de Ferramentas

If you have accidentally hidden all your toolbars, you can get them back by choosing menu option Settings ‣ Toolbars ‣. If a toolbar disappears under Windows, which seems to be a problem in QGIS from time to time, you have to remove key \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QGIS\qgis\UI\state in the registry. When you restart QGIS, the key is written again with the default state, and all toolbars are visible again.

Map Legend

The map legend area lists all the layers in the project. The checkbox in each legend entry can be used to show or hide the layer. The Legend toolbar in the map legend are list allow you to Add group, Manage Layer Visibility of all layers or manage preset layers combination, Filter Legend by Map Content, Expand All or Collapse All and Remove Layer or Group.

Figure Layer tools Bar:

Layer Tool Bar in Map Legend nix

The button mActionShowPresets allows you to add Presets views in the legend. It means that you can choose to display some layer with specific categorization and add this view to the Presets list. To add a preset view just click on mActionShowPresets, choose Add Preset... from the drop down menu and give a name to the preset. After that you will see a list with all the presets that you can recall pressing on the mActionShowPresets button.

All the added presets are also present in the map composer in order to allow you to create a map layout based on your specific views (see Propriedades principais).

A camada pode ser seleccionada e arrastada para cima e para abaixo na legenda para alterar a ordenação-z. A Ordenação-Z significa que as camadas listadas perto do topo da legenda são desenhadas sobre as camadas listadas mais abaixo na legenda.

Note

This behaviour can be overridden by the ‘Layer order’ panel.

Layers in the legend window can be organised into groups. There are two ways to do this:

  1. Press the mActionFolder icon to add a new group. Type in a name for the group and press Enter. Now click on an existing layer and drag it onto the group.

  2. Seleccione algumas camadas, e clique com o botão direito do rato na legenda da janela e escolha Agrupar Seleccionados. As camadas seleccionadas irão automaticamente incorporar o novo grupo.

Para trazer a camada para fora do grupo pode arrastar para fora, ou clicar no botão direito do rato em cima e escolha Faça item de topo. Os grupos podem ser também agrupados dentro de outros grupos.

A caixa de verificação para o grupo irá mostrar ou esconder todas as camadas do grupo com um clique.

The content of the right mouse button context menu depends on whether the selected legend item is a raster or a vector layer. For GRASS vector layers, mActionToggleEditing Toggle editing is not available. See section Digitalizando e editando as camadas vectoriais GRASS for information on editing GRASS vector layers.

É possível seleccionar mais de uma camada ou grupo ao mesmo tempo segurando a tecla Ctrl enquanto selecciona as camadas com o botão esquerdo do rato. Pode mover todas as camadas seleccionadas para um novo grupo ao mesmo tempo.

You may also delete more than one layer or group at once by selecting several layers with the Ctrl key and pressing Ctrl+D afterwards. This way, all selected layers or groups will be removed from the layers list.

Trabalhando com a Ordem da legenda de camada indepenente

There is a panel that allows you to define an independent drawing order for the map legend. You can activate it in the menu Settings ‣ Panels ‣ Layer order. This feature allows you to, for instance, order your layers in order of importance, but still display them in the correct order (see figure_layer_order). Checking the checkbox Control rendering order box underneath the list of layers will cause a revert to default behavior.

Vista do Mapa

This is the “business end” of QGIS — maps are displayed in this area! The map displayed in this window will depend on the vector and raster layers you have chosen to load (see sections that follow for more information on how to load layers). The map view can be panned, shifting the focus of the map display to another region, and it can be zoomed in and out. Various other operations can be performed on the map as described in the toolbar description above. The map view and the legend are tightly bound to each other — the maps in view reflect changes you make in the legend area.

Tip

Aumentado o Mapa com a roda do Rato

Pode usar a roda do rato para ampliar ou afastar o mapa. Posicione o cursos do rato dentro da área do mapa e rode a roda para a frente (longe de si) para ampliar e para trás (perto de si) para afastar. A posição do cursor do mapa é centrada onde a ampliação ocorre. Pode personalizar o comportamento de ampliação da roda do rato usando o separador Ferramentas de mapa no menu Configurações ‣ Opções .

Tip

Movendo o Mapa com as Setas de Direcção e Barra de Espaço

Pode usar as teclas de direcção para mover o mapa. Coloque o cursor do mapa dentro da área do mapa e clique na tecla direita de direcção para mover para este, tecla esquerda de direcção para mover para oeste, tecla para cima para mover para norte e a tecla de direcção para baixo para mover para sul. Pode também mover o mapa usando a barra de espaço ou clicando na roda do rato: apenas mova o rato enquanto segura a barra de espaço ou clica a roda do rato.

Barra de Estado

The status bar shows you your current position in map coordinates (e.g., meters or decimal degrees) as the mouse pointer is moved across the map view. To the left of the coordinate display in the status bar is a small button that will toggle between showing coordinate position or the view extents of the map view as you pan and zoom in and out.

Next to the coordinate display you will find the scale display. It shows the scale of the map view. If you zoom in or out, QGIS shows you the current scale. There is a scale selector, which allows you to choose between predefined scales from 1:500 to 1:1000000.

To the right of the scale display you can define a current clockwise rotation for your map view in degrees.

A progress bar in the status bar shows the progress of rendering as each layer is drawn to the map view. In some cases, such as the gathering of statistics in raster layers, the progress bar will be used to show the status of lengthy operations.

If a new plugin or a plugin update is available, you will see a message at the far left of the status bar. On the right side of the status bar, there is a small checkbox which can be used to temporarily prevent layers being rendered to the map view (see section Renderização below). The icon mIconStopRendering immediately stops the current map rendering process.

To the right of the render functions, you find the EPSG code of the current project CRS and a projector icon. Clicking on this opens the projection properties for the current project.

Tip

Calculando a Escala Correcta para o Seu Enquadramento do Mapa

When you start QGIS, the default units are degrees, and this means that QGIS will interpret any coordinate in your layer as specified in degrees. To get correct scale values, you can either change this setting to meters manually in the General tab under Settings ‣ Project Properties, or you can select a project CRS clicking on the mIconProjectionDisabled Current CRS: icon in the lower right-hand corner of the status bar. In the last case, the units are set to what the project projection specifies (e.g., ‘+units=m’).
