Hi Fred,

You include quite a lot of questions.
Changing layer color is done by styling.
You click right on the layer and choose properties. Go to the tab Style.
You can change the color of the features displayed in your layer, the transparency, unit of measurements etc.

Also I can't see a line of crosses, points opposite the nodes by the polygon  so I don't know how to do this does any know how to correct this, sort it out?
I think you refers to the points which build a specific feature.
If you use vectorial layers there are three types: points, lines and polygon. You cannot have a layer with mixed types.
When you work with point layers it is simple. Each feature on the layer is a point.
When you work with lines you see the lines which connect the point defined by your clicks on the canvas.
If you want to visuals those  points you need to have the layer in edit mode and select a specific line feature, You can see the defined points by a small red x.
The same with polygon layer type.

Be aware the lines which are drawn manually are simple. They do not follow the contour of the earth like Great Circle, Rhumble lines. If you want to draw a great circle line you need create plugin or used one of the plugins which exist.
You have all kind of processing algorithm which can operate on you layers.

Changing the layer symbols.
You can change the symbol but not the layer type. Go to layer style as I explained above.

Do I answer to your questions?

Marian

Hi

I have been trying to learn how to use QGIS following the QGIS online tutorial. I am on lesson 6.2 part 2. Though I am still struggling to work out how to do this as my area of my places layer should be a different colour which I have tried to change but I don't know how as its shows as green on the tutorial but white at the moment does anyone know about this? .Also I can't see a line of crosses, points opposite the nodes by the polygon  so I don't know how to do this does any know how to correct this, sort it out?. Also each of the layers appear as symbols which I can't find,remember this being in the tutorial does anyone know how to change these layers so there are symbols.  I am basically just stuck on this lesson which I am finding very tricky and I badly need help with this. I have tried Stack Exchange but to no avail.

Kind Regards

Fred Ralston
