Do you want to learn how to create Voronoi polygons in @qgis ? You have a dataset of cellular towers locations in a city, and you want to create Voronoi polygons to visualize the coverage areas of each tower.Follow this step-by-step guide. #gischat 1- Prepare your data:

Import your cellular towers locations dataset as a point layer in QGIS.

Make sure your point layer has a unique identifier for each tower.

Compressed image formats are a great way to reduce file size without sacrificing image quality. There are several compressed image formats that are commonly used in GIS (Geographic Information System) applications. #gischat #geospatial #gis ECW (Enhanced Compression Wavelet) is a proprietary compressed image format developed by ERDAS. It's commonly used for compressing large raster images, such as satellite imagery and aerial photography. ECW files can be handled by software ArcGIS, Global Mapper, and ERDAS Imagine.
