| Summary |
|---|
| Course is focusing on developing own tools (plugins) in Python language for software QGIS while using QGIS API. Students will be introduced to possibilities of data processing automation while using QGIS functionality and will learn how to develop tools for these purposes. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
The aim of the course is to teach students to create their own tools (plugins) for QGIS software in Python. Students gain following skills:
- installation and setup of open-source GIS tools (QGIS, GDAL) with Python API
- QGIS using via Python console
- creation of tools for QGIS in Python with qgis.core objects
- creating of own plugin for QGIS
- creating tests for own plugin
- creation of graphical user interface for Python tools within QGIS |
