Hi Mike and list, I took the challenge and so far succeeded at the very moment. Mike sent me a (not so clean list) of species and counties. My idea was to produce an atlas. (Actually, it should be made by a report, but since those are a bit quirky still, I went the pure atlas way) It's a bit ha

Hello Mike, I tried to follow your question and the most I read the less I understand ! Could you simply explain what you want to see, what action the user have to do and what he gets? For this, try to give input data and what will link them : plants (table with plant name and states distribution?

I've struggled with the same sort of problem over the years, of building something for print from digital data in a reusable way. Maybe reusable isn't unnecessary for your project, but another big piece for mine was maintaining and displaying the correct scales. In the end, it made the most s

Hi, I’am not quite sure what processes you want automated but if the step previously described suit your needs, then all the steps could be incorporated into a model and this model, like any algorithm found in « processing » can be batched. Nicolas Cadieux https://gitlab.com/njacadieux > Le 1

As first step towards building a model as Nicolas has suggested: I assume you have a layer with the county boundaries. Export this layer as a CSV file, keeping only the name of each county in the export step, and don't export the geometry. Now open this file in your sprea
