Single band local QGIS rasters are > transparently converted to SAGA format using GDAL, processed, and > imported back into QGIS. Many things could be improved and features > added, but the basic functionality is there. > > To assess the progress of the interface, I have written a small > script, which checks module support, as determined by parameter > implementation. The programmatically collected stats, indicating > support for 170 modules (40%) are published in the Module Support[1] > wiki page, while the Tested Modules[2] page, maintained by Paolo, > contains a list of SAGA modules that have actually been tested. > > Work on a settings dialog has started. It is still unclear how many > and which settings should be left to the user. Also on the GUI side, > an about dialog was implemented, which displays the new processing > icon by Robert Szczepanek. > > In an effort to be consistent with the QGIS terminology, the string > "raster" is now automatically substituted for instances of "grid" in > each SAGA module's text: Names, tags, parameters and descriptions. > > Less visible to the user, but still important, the SAGA code has been > refactored a little. Work is still pending on this issue. > Additionally, the plugin's objects are now managed in a cleaner way. > > Validator and default value bugs have been fixed. Further testing is > necessary. > > Finally, due to rising interest in interfacing other libraries (GRASS, > OTB) I have published the API documentation[3] on the framework and > started writing a Developer's Tutorial[4]. > > Google Summer of Code 2011 is almost over, but it is my intention to > continue maintaining this software, first focusing on polishing the > available code and later adding more features: Support for further > parameter types, interactive modules, and module instance > serialization, among many other proposed. > > > Best regards & thanks a lot for the help, > > > Camilo > > [1] https://github.com/polymeris/qgis/wiki/Module-Support > [2] https://github.com/polymeris/qgis/wiki/Tested-Modules > [3] http://polymeris.github.com/qgis/processing.html > [4] https://github.com/polymeris/qgis/wiki/Developer%27s-Tutorial > _______________________________________________ > Qgis-developer mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
