How do I do that on QGIS? Was: [Qgis-user] manifold and qgis comparison

[Mike]

A couple thoughts on this - I mentioned the desire for these kinds of docs
on the discus list, thread titled "[Live-demo] Has anyone written a "How do
you XXX with Open Source GIS?"

There was a helpful link for udig
http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/EN/Home

On the esri front, there is a book I picked up titled something like "20
essential skills" which I got to make sure my base skills are there, as I
and many of us work in an esri shop. This goes through a list of 20 skills
the author saw that was in demand from her students and other
professionals.

I've thought about making a list and then starting on describing how to do
this or that. I've written some howto stuff using esri sofware.

To help motivate people to create it and use it, is there a place that has
png's of all the tool buttons so you can easily add them to the docs where
it's needed?
For example this page
http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=Core_ArcMap_toolbars

gives me access to images for individual tools
http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/published_images/button_sketch.gif


Which made it much easier to describe people new to the software what to
do.
