A few experimental plugins for QGIS

How to install the plugins

Please don't install plugins from here manually! Use QGIS Python Plugin Installer instead. There may be different plugin instances designed for different QGIS versions and Installer always chooses the one compatible with your QGIS.

1. Be sure you have Plugin Installer enabled. If not, go to Plugins -> Plugin Manager and enable it.
2. (Only for users of older QGISes (0.x) who haven't ever updated Plugin Installer): Go to Plugins -> Plugin Installer and reinstall itself. Restart QGIS to reload updated Installer.
3. Go to Plugins -> Fetch Python Plugins. The Python Plugin Installer should appear.
4. Click the Add Third Party Repositories button on the Repositories tab.
5. Now you should see my plugins on the plugin list

The Point Sampling Tool collects polygon attributes from multiple layers at specified sampling points. You need a point layer with locations of sampling points and at least one polygon layer for probe values from (in QGIS 0.11 also rasters are supported). Then the plugin creates new point layer with locations given by the sampling points and attributes taken from all the underlying polygons or/and raster cells.

Requires: no special requirements, but raster layers are read only in QGIS 0.11

Profile

The Profile tool plots terrain profiles along interactive pointed lines. It handles one-band rasters of any format supported by QGis. You can compare up to three layers together, control height scale and line colors. It is on very early stage of development yet and I plan to code a number of improvements in the next weeks (see below). Unfortunately it has huge requirements: development version of QGIS and Qwt5.

Requires: QGIS 0.11 and Qwt5

TO DO in the near future:
- polyline profiles
- threads for multi-window operation
- a better coordinates display and a mark on the canvas indicating cursor position when it is inside the profile graph
- export/import profile location to Shapefile
- export profile view to PNG
- customizable style for lines, axes and background
- customizable scales
- any other wishes :)

Table Manager

This plugin provides the tool for managing attribute table structure. I hope it fills painful gap in the QGIS's capabilities by adding the possibility of managing attribute fields directly from QGIS. At this moment, it is able to: insert, delete, move and clone fields and save as new shapefile. Currently I'm working on the field type converter, the field calculator and posibility to save changes directly to the edited table.

Requires: no special requirements

TO DO in the near future:
- fields type conversions
- the calculator
- faster data preview
- saving directly to editing table (for shapefiles and PostGIS)
- to fix: The button in the top-right corner closes window with no asking

Improved Plugin Installer

The new version of the Plugin Installer. The main improvement is the checking for updates and news in observed repositories.

Requires: no special requirements
