Creating a QGIS Plugin

Disclaimer

This tutorial was created for Microsoft Windows platforms. It assumes a basic knowledge of GIS Environments and Python syntax.

Introduction

This tutorial contains instructions to aid you in the creation of your own QGIS plugins.

Data

As most of this tutorial is software based, the only data required is a shape file layer for testing purposes at the end. One can find the shape file used for testing here.

It is important to place all of the data files in one project folder on the hard drive. Keep the folder pathname simple and as short as possible, this pathname will be used by MapServer to access data to display a map.
