[Qgis-user] creating vector layer from slope map with few classes

[Shinoto, PD Dr. Maria]

Hi Kirk, 

that was helpful, thank you. 

I am not yet where I need to be, but so far I could create two classes with the formula found in the docs (https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_raster/raster_analysis.html) along this line: 

	`("slope at 1" < 50) * 1 + ("slope at 1" >= 50) * 2`

At this moment, my biggest problem is creating the vector file, the window claims that the file name is too long. This cannot be the case, and the directory itself should be OK. So now I am trying to get this done, and then I will test three classes, which I did not get working up to now either. 

If there are easy answers to these two questions, I would be pleased, otherwise, I will try tomorrow. 

Thanks a lot, 
Maria

> The symbology does not reclassify the underlying raster, it just changes the way it is displayed.  Use the raster calculator to generate a new raster with the Classes you require. The native qgis calculator works well. You can find it in the upper word menu under raster.  Once  you have your raster reclassified, you can then convert it to a vector format

The conditions are One-Channel-Pseudocolor, Channel1 (Gray), interpolation discrete, modus "fortlaufend" -- not identical interval or quantile, 3 classes with values <=20, 20 - 40, > 40.
