3. Hands On

3.11. Resources

Here are some resources to help you refine your maps:

  • Inkscape - I use this program for fixing fine details. It's a free and open source vector illustrator program so it is similar, but not the same as Adobe Illustrator. Export a .svg file from the QGIS print composer and open it in Inkscape to edit things like labels with super fine control.

  • QGIS Training Manual for Map Composer

  • USGS Topographic Symbols
