- Converting a raster into fuzzy values with FuzzyAttributes V2
Version 2 of FuzzyAttributes extends the plugin’s capabilities by directly integrating fuzzy transformation of rasters, in addition to vector attributes and text → fuzzy mapping. This allows you to work on continuous data (e.g., indices, altitudes,…
- Consultation and negotiation: the contribution of fuzzy logic
Consultation and negotiation: understanding, dialogue, building together In regional, environmental, or development projects, decisions can no longer be imposed unilaterally. Stakeholders—whether citizens, institutions, businesses, or associations—expect to be listened to, consulted, and involved. Two approaches are…
- PostGIS 3.6 released – 3D, raster, and topology take a leap forward
New version:
PostGIS 3.6.0 (Released September 2, 2025) PostGIS 3.6.0 has been available since September 2, 2025. It is designed to work with PostgreSQL 12 through 18 beta 3, requires GEOS 3.8+ (with optimizations for GEOS…
- Creating awareness maps with QGIS: the equivalent of the Above and Below style
Awareness maps in QGIS When an issue is relatively new, it is often useful to go through an awareness-raising phase. Maps play a key role in this process: they reveal worrying facts and draw the attention…
- From Boolean analysis to fuzzy logic in a GIS: a concrete example
Introduction In spatial analysis, criteria are often applied strictly: yes/no, inside/outside, above/below a threshold. But reality is rarely so clear-cut: is a municipality with 4,900 inhabitants really so different from another with 5,100? Fuzzy logic allows…
- Union in GIS: choosing between overlay, merge, unary union, and dissolve
Understanding the different types of unions in GIS Spatial union is one of the fundamental operations in geomatics. It allows you to combine multiple layers or entities to produce new geometries or enrich attributes. However, behind…
- Fuzzy logic and GIS (2/2): from transformation to aggregation of spatial data
In the first part of this series, we saw how fuzzy logic allows us to go beyond rigid thresholds by assigning each spatial entity a degree of membership between 0 and 1.We explored several membership functions,…
- Fuzzy logic and GIS (1/2): an alternative to all-or-nothing for geographic analysis
Modeling uncertainty and gradual transitions in QGIS using the FuzzyAttributes plugin. Not everything in geography is black and white. However, GIS tools often impose binary choices. What about transition zones? What about criteria that are partially…
- Exporting a QGIS layout to SVG: uses, limitations, and solutions
Exporting to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) from QGIS allows you to produce high-quality vector maps for printing or graphic editing in software such as Inkscape, Illustrator, or Affinity Designer. It is an interesting alternative to PDF,…
- Associating points with their municipality or zone: simple spatial joins with MMQGIS
When you have a layer of points (field surveys, geocoded addresses, incidents, observations, etc.) and a polygon layer (municipalities, sectors, zones), it is often useful to know which zone each point is located in. This is…
