Hello all:
Can anyone point me to an example of how to get started with QGIS? I
was pointed to QGIS by a number of people who suggested it was an easy
way to get started in GIS. So I downloaded it, and it works, but I
still can't figure out how to do what I need to get done.
I have an ESRI

Unless there is grass tool for doing this (havent checked),
There's v.buffer. Will do just fine for buffering around
points. However, doublecheck the results when buffering more
complex shapes, polygons especially.
It is agreed among GRASS devs that it would be easier
Oh, and Nishith wanted an ellipsoidal buffer - in that case
v.buffer won't do.
I know Trevor Viens (can be reached him on GRASS lists) has
developed an ellipse-enabled version of v.buffer, but I
never saw it published.

Hi, Tom,
From what you've described as your immediate need (each town colored
according to the values of the data) you don't need GRASS.
Assuming you've got the attribute data associated with the locations,
as described by Micha, then in Qgis, in the layer list on the left,
select the layer

Thank you again for your help (in my new neighborhood). I guess I
somehow had the idea that data corresponding to a town *was*
geo-referenced, since I also have the coordinates of that town's
outline, and maybe that was where I was driving myself crazy.
I understand the idea of editing

Hello all:
I believe my earlier questions have not been very well phrased. Here is
my situation: I have an ongoing need to make a variety of maps of more
or less the same kind. I have a small area, divided into 39 towns and
about 75 zip code areas, for which I already have a dandy set of
Tom,
If you do some googling, you should be able to get to the point where
you can ask less general questions. Some links below that may help you
get started. Good luck.

I think that the basic problem here is that QGis
is GIS in development (note it is a 0.x version!), providing a good
system for displaying and editing geospatial data (although there are few
features still having to be integrated in the current version) and
a python platform (a unique and
