+ | ===== Managing DEMs ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * [[nsw_merge_dems|Merging DEMs]] - how to merge DEMs in QGIS | ||
+ | * [[nsw_dems|Managing large DEMs]] - while data can be downloaded in an ad hoc manner, if you are regularly processing NSW DEMs, it is better to have the DEM tiles already downloaded. This page provides steps to do this in an automated manner. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Topographic maps ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are several primary data items for topographic maps that can be generated using the DEM data from the NSW Lidar. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * [[qgis_depressionless_dem|Hydrologically correct DEM]] - prior to further operations, it is usually important to make sure that your DEM is free of depressions. Otherwise these will mess up streams and possibly contours. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you have a depressionless DEM, the following items can be generated: | ||
+ | * [[qgis_contours|Contours]] | ||
+ | * [[qgis_hydrology|Hydrology (Stream Network)]] | ||
+ | * [[qgis_slope|Slopes]] - while not a standard feature of topographic maps, this can be a simple way to identify cliffs | ||
+ | * [[qgis_clifflines|Clifflines]] - a work in progress | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Styles ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * [[qgis_styling|Styling]] - download basic style files | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Automation ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * [[qgis_basic_automation|Basic map creation]] - a set of PyQGIS scripts that will create (and optionally save) a basic topographic map. This map can be used in QField | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Mobile apps ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * [[qgis_qfield|QField]] - QField is an excellent Android app for for viewing projects created with QGIS | ||

+ | ==== Method ==== | ||
+ | The below snip of Breakfast Creek makes use of TPI calculated from a LIDAR derived DEM. Only positive values for TPI as displayed, which indicate cliff-like features. It is then combined with contours and aerial imagery to convey the terrain of the area. | ||
