Visualizing a Shapefile with QGIS

For this post I will use the stations shapefile from PostGis to Shapefile using pgsql2shp

Step1

Open QGIS Desktop



Step2


Hit Ctrl+Shift+V or go to Layer > Add Layer > Add Vector Layer


Click Browse, then go to your directory containing your shapefiles. Select either the file ending with .shp or .shx, and click Open.

Done!
