QGIS Create Shapefile || Shapefile Layer in QGIS

hello everyone this is zaida olami from exmet soft research lab and in today's video i'm going to teach you how to create a shape file in qgis so you want to go to layer option in here click on that and then you can see create lighter option so there's a drop down list one of them is new shapefile layer i click on that and then the the window opens up so first you should give it a file name or you should give it an address so i go for in here i make a new folder okay it's new folder and it's okay i double click on that and my file name is number one i save that and then in geometry type you can define what what type of geometry do you want to to create you want to have a polygon you want to have a line string or you want to have point layer multiple point layer okay let's say now i want to have a polygon then you should go for your coordinate system you should define your coordinate system so i have before that i have already selected my coordinate system and it's listed in here i click on that and then in here you have a new field you can add a new field which you can give the information of your creators in there okay i do not want that so i just click ok then my new shape file is created right here what i want to do is to let's say i have i have selected the polygon okay so i want to add my google earth images and then let's say i want to i want to create a polygon for this mountain in here okay so first of all you should enable editing so i click on this pencil sign in here and then you can see the editing mode is turned on then i want to click on add polygon feature so i click on that and you can see my sign of the mouse is changed so now i can draw the polygon so i just made a mistake i want to start from i want to start again so i'm just creating this polygon okay now i can um give it an id it's it's optional i click okay and you can see my polygon is created okay so i can change the colors of course or [Music] i can just make it video colors without filled any colors etc but in here you could see there is an option named vertex tool and a vertical for all layers and for current layer i click on current layer and then i can change the placement of these vertexes so maybe i want to change the placement of these vertex vertex says like this okay if you double click on each vertex then you can change the placements so that's it then you'll click on save layer edits i click on that and then that's it so my polygon feature is created in my shapefile so that was for creating polygons you can also go for layer create layer new shape shape file layer and and now you can select geometry type as line string and you can go for creating lines or polylines or also you can go for points that's just a structure for creating new shape files in qgis and i hope you have learned something new in this video today and i will see in the next videos and bye
