JupyterLab Extension
====================

JupyterGIS comes with a JupyterLab extension that embeds QGIS features directly into the JupyterLab UI.
This extension allows you to:

* Open ``.qgz`` and ``.jGIS``` files in JupyterLab
* Create new ``.jGIS`` files
* Edit those files by adding new vector or raster layers, modifying geometries, and performing spatial operations.
