Automating analysis tasks using the graphical modeler

Most analysis tasks involve using several algorithms. Repeating the same analysis with a different dataset or different input parameters requires using them one by one, making this task tedious and error-prone. You can automate analysis workflows using the Processing graphical modeler, which allows you to define a workflow graphically and wrap it in a single algorithm. This recipe introduces the main ideas about the modeler and creates a simple model as an example.
