CV-305L: Geographic Information Lab

Lab No. 12
Displaying geospatial data with graphs

Objectives:
The aim of this lab is to visualize the spatial data with different charts (pie chart, histogram,
stack bars etc.)

A file (vector layer) that comprises different districts of a region is selected as an example.

Figure 1: State divided in districts

Right click on the layer (District) to open its attribute table and see what does the data show,
