Chapter 8. The Processing Toolbox

In this chapter, we will explore the structure of the QGIS Processing Toolbox and identify which algorithm providers are available and how to use these specialized algorithms. To accomplish these goals, we will ensure that the toolbox is properly configured, use a variety of specialized vector and spatial algorithms from the GRASS and SAGA libraries, perform hydrologic analyses using the TauDEM library, explore the basic tools of R, and work with LIDAR data using the LAStools and Fusion libraries. We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • Introduction to the toolbox
  • Configuring the toolbox
  • The structure of the toolbox
  • Performing spatial analyses using GRASS and SAGA
  • Performing a hydrologic analysis with TauDEM ...
