Selecting tools can be found at the “Selection” menu or in the corresponding button:

Aprendiendo SIG con Juego de Tronos (IV): Herramientas de selección

En todo SIG son muy importantes las herramientas de selección, entre otras cosas porque hay muchas herramientas que se ejecutan sobre los elementos seleccionados. Además pueden servirnos para localizar fácilmente elementos con determinadas características. 

Antes de empezar conviene recordar, como vimos en el post de Tablas, que cuando seleccionamos elementos de una capa también se seleccionan en su tabla de atributos (y viceversa).

Las herramientas de selección se pueden encontrar en el menú “Selección” o en su correspondiente barra de botones:

Learning GIS with Game of Thrones (II): Attribute table

We follow with this mini-course about the introduction to Geographic Information Systems with Game of Thrones.Today we are going to see how to open the attribute table of a layer.

Firstly we are going to open our project, that we saved when finishing the first exercise. Then we are going to add a new layer (such as we saw in that first exercise), called “Political”, that has the different kingdoms of the “Westeros” continent, known as “Seven kingdoms” too. The new layer has a legend that shows it without fill and with a border line in black colour and thicker.

To see the alphanumeric information that is contained in this layer we press the name of the layer with the secondary button at the Table of Contents. A menu will be opened where we have to select the “Attribute table” option. Continue reading
