How to plot the azimuth and dip from a inclined bedding in QGIS 3 - Tutorial

QGIS has a wide range of options for the representation of vector data (point, line and polygon) but specific workflows have to be established to apply QGIS in different fields such as Geology. We found that there were few resources about how to plot geological features as bedding planes, faults, synclines and other and we have decided to do a series of tutorials showing those procedures on applied examples.

This time, we have developed a tutorial with the complete procedure to plot the azimuth and dip of bedding planes with QGIS. The tutorial imports a SVG marker that rotates according to a field value while the dip is presented as a label.
