points on the raster, specifying their coordinates, and choosing a relevant
transformation type. Based on the input parameters and data, the Georeferencer will
compute the world file parameters. The more coordinates you provide, the better
the result will be. After you provide a few points, you can use the |linkQGisToGeoref| "Link QGIS to Georeferencer" and/or |linkGeorefToQGis| "Link Georeferencer to QGIS" buttons that will adjust, respectively, the map extent of the main QGIS window to the present view in Georeferencer and/or vice versa.
