In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a radial flow map using QGIS.
Radial flow maps, a type of thematic cartography, serve as powerful tools to visually illustrate the movement of various phenomena, often involving the transfer of goods, people, or information between different locations. These maps employ lines to represent the flow, with varying line widths effectively conveying differences in the flow's volume or intensity. Broadly categorized, flow maps fall into three primary types: radial, network, and distributive. Radial flow maps, in particular, exhibit a distinctive spoke-like pattern, a result of representing features and locations in a nodal fashion, wherein one specific place serves as either the origin or destination for the flows.
