This page contains a brief introduction to the Quantum GIS software (QGIS). QGIS is a Free Open Source Software which for more information please see the QGIS website [https://www.qgis.org/ www.qgis.org/]. The basics of QGIS, particularly with respect to TUFLOW modelling are described below, each of these has a separate page.
QGIS uses ArcGIS file formats for vector data, with data stored in shapefiles (.shp). QGIS, however, is able to read in MapInfo files directly. In the shapefiles, points, lines and regions are stored in separate files.<br>
