Summary

Congratulations! You just carried out your first vector analysis. It was a great adventure, wasn't it? In this chapter, you learned how to utilize vector layers to derive some valuable results from them. We learned about some of the more popular and useful vector analysis tools, and ventured into the more advanced realm of GIS. We also learned how you can make your workflow more flexible by building models from your steps.

In the next chapter, we will talk about spatial analysis in PostGIS. We will see how we can build queries executing spatial operations on our tables, creating the same results as in this chapter by nesting queries in QGIS's database manager.
