Getting started

New to Landschaft? These pages take you from nothing installed to your first analysis, and explain the few ideas that every tool shares.

  • Installation

    Set up Python, a compiler and Landschaft on Windows, macOS or Linux, and check that everything works.

    Install

  • Quickstart

    Ten minutes, one example map: load it, look at it, analyse it and save the result as a GeoTIFF you can open in QGIS.

    First analysis

  • Configuration

    Threads, memory limits, output formats and colours: the settings that apply to every tool.

    Configure

  • Core concepts

    Rasters and georeferencing, how habitat maps are coded, NoData, cell size and units, and how results are returned.

    Learn the basics

  • Plotting

    ls.plot draws any map, vector layer, table or result on an interactive map over satellite imagery, or as a chart, in one call.

    Plot your data

Suggested path

  1. Install Landschaft and run the check at the end of the page.
  2. Follow the quickstart with the example map that ships with the package.
  3. Read core concepts before you use your own data: most surprises come from how the input map is coded.
  4. Pick the tutorial of the topic you need; each one starts from the basics and ends with the advanced options.
