## Digitising in QGIS

In QGIS, digitization is the process of creating digital vector layers from scanned maps or aerial images. It
involves tracing features such as points, lines, or polygons directly on the map canvas to represent geographic
elements like buildings, roads, or land parcels. Additionally, you can assign attributes to each feature during
digitization, enabling further analysis and integration with other geospatial data. This digitized data becomes
a valuable asset for spatial analysis and mapping.

## Generating an Atlas
### Generating an Atlas

An atlas will generate a new page with the same map layout for each feature in a layer. For most purposes, it useful to first create a map layout with the elements such as legend, sources and overview map and then insert the map item that will be controlled by the Atlas. To generate an atlas:

1. Click on the ![](../../fig/30.30.2_print_layout_atlas_settings.png) `Atlas Settings`-button in the Atlas Toolbar.
2. In the new window, activate the `Generate an Atlas` option.
3. Select the `Coverage Layer`. This will determine the features or polygons that will be displayed on a page. In our example, we will use the subnational administrative districts in Nigeria (`ADM1`).
4. Select the `Page Name`. This should be the name of the subnational district or location that is displayed on that page. To display the name of the district, we will choose `ADM1_REF`.
3. Select the `Coverage Layer`. This will determine the features or polygons that will be displayed on a page. In our example, we will use the subnational administrative regions in Nigeria (`ADM1`).
4. Select the `Page Name`. This should be the name of the subnational region or location that is displayed on that page. To display the name of the region, we will choose the column `ADM1_REF`, which holds the names of the regions in english.
5. Now let's add a map to the empty print layout.
6. Click on the map and navigate to the __Layer Properties__ window on the right.
7. Scroll down until you see the option `Controlled by Atlas` and activate it.

Authorities are now considering setting up temporary barriers to manage the flow of people, and it's crucial that this location is marked as a high-risk area for potential crowd control measures.|

The current SOP states that the sides of recent violent incidents are to be avoided in a 1 km radius. To reflect this on the map, we will use the buffer tool.

<p class="sd-card-text">The accuracy of geodata is crucial for spatial analysis. Positional errors are inevitable when data are manually
digitised. The most common examples include undershooting and overshooting. When your coordinates do not
connect as they should, and overshooting, when the lines go past where they should. Often these errors are not
visible unless you zoom in quite a bit on the coordinates. Setting a fuzzy tolerance (snapping tolerance) is
