[Qgis-user] Automating creation of county distribution maps

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

As a newbie, I would start doing is once by hand.  Then, the easiest way is to create a model. You can create a model in the processing plugin.  Make sure the plugin is activated and the panel opened. A model can permit you to link a number of algorithms together.  The other way is to go with python but that is more complicated.
