What is Spatial Analysis
Spatial analysis is a powerful set of techniques that allow users to manipulate and analyze geographic data, making it easier to combine and extract meaningful information from different datasets on a map.
Using the Spatial Analysis toolset
To apply a transformation from the Spatial Analysis toolset to a layer, simply click on the layer in the legend top open the style editor, then click on the Transform icon (two overlapping circles) under the layer name.
The transformations menu is also available via the Felt menu in top-left corner and via feature menu using the
Command/Control + K shortcut (simply type Transform or the name of any specific transformation, like Buffer).Available Transformations

If you don’t have a layer to clip to, you can create an area of interest as an element by using the circle or polygon tools and then applying the Convert to layer action on it.
The following transformations are currently available:
