1.3. Create a Map

We're going to create a map in the Print Layout.

1. To create a map, go in the main menu to Project | New Print Layout and give the layout a name (e.g., Oued Hellal Indicators Map).

2. In the Print Layout window, click on the Add Map  tool in the toolbar.

3. Drag the mouse to create a map frame in the layout, which will display the view from your QGIS project.

4. Choose the Add Label   tool to include a title for your map (e.g., Water Productivity and Indicators in Oued Hellal).
  • You can customize the font, size, and color in the Item Properties panel.
5. Add a legend by clicking on the Add Legend   button, which will display the color ramps for the indicators. Customize the legend to display only the relevant layers.
  • You can adjust the title and format the legend using the Item Properties panel.
6. Add a scale bar by clicking on the Add Scale Bar  tool and placing it at the bottom of the map.
  • In Item Properties, you can adjust the units (e.g., meters or kilometers) and the scale.
7. When your map is complete, go to the main menu and click on Layout | Export as Image. Best to save to png for social media. Alternatively, you can save to PDF if you want to print the map.

8. Choose a file name (e.g., Oued_Hellal_Indicators_Map) and save the map to your computer.
