Creating a Heatmap using QGIS

This video lesson focuses on one of the important tutorials on how to make a heatmap in QGIS, a free geographic information system. To begin with, if you have your spatial data ready, we will be importing it into qGIS as well as setting some of the project properties that will enhance your visualizations. In this you will discover how to convert your point data into a visually interactive, color overlay Heatmap plugin that makes it clear where the density or action is most concentrated.

Altogether, we will provide detailed guidance on modifying parameters in order to find the best formula of configuring the heat map for your task: The radius, The intensity, and color gradients. At the end of the tutorial, you will have a complete working heatmap that can be used in order to establish spatial characteristics as well as trends in your data. If you want to visualize traffic, crime, any point-based data this tutorial will teach you how to bring your data to life in QGIS.
