Dissolving Map Boundaries in QGIS and Python
This article describes the process of transforming map boundaries in vector datasets using QGIS and geopandas in Python. The article highlights the clipping and dissolving features in QGIS and geopandas, which can be used to manipulate and transform geographical maps.
Clipping in QGIS
The clipping feature in QGIS allows users to select specific countries or regions from a world map. For instance, selecting the South Asia region from the world map involves selecting the eight countries in the region, namely Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The clipping feature can be accessed through the Vector menu, followed by Geoprocessing Tools and then Clip.

Dissolving Boundaries in QGIS
The dissolving feature in QGIS allows users to dissolve the boundaries between countries in a region. For example, dissolving the boundaries between countries in South Asia creates a single unit that represents the region. The dissolving feature can be accessed through the Vector menu, followed by Geoprocessing Tools and then Dissolve.

Clipping and Dissolving in Geopandas
Geopandas is a Python library that allows users to manipulate and transform geographical maps. The library provides features similar to QGIS, including clipping and dissolving. Clipping in geopandas involves filtering the world map to select specific countries or regions. Dissolving in geopandas involves using the dissolve feature to combine the boundaries of countries in a region.
