Hello everyone, I am considering implementing this idea: http://www.qgis.org/wiki/SAGA_Toolbox_for_QGIS I use SAGA often and would like to see a modern interface to it. I have no experience with the QGIS code, though. The last few days I have been coding a little, just to get a feeling of how difficult that integration would be and get to know the QGIS code. So far the plugin only fumbles a little with qguis' GUI and loads SAGA libraries. The next step will be to display a list of modules and their parameters.
I'd like to do this in context of GSoC 2011, for that purpose, and if you're still interested, I'll submit a proposal during the week. I started using SAGAs Pyhon interface, which I am more familiar with, but switched to C++ now. I think the whole C++ -> Python -> Swig -> C++ route is too complicated. C++ to C++ is just cleaner. What is your opinion? Do you believe that it is feasible to do the whole implementation during 1 GSoC? Else, what aspects should I focus on? (And what could be left to post-GSoc) GUI: Any ideas? So far I think I'll just clone SAGA's. Distribution: Would SAGA's modules and/or the SAGA API be distributed with QGIS? Finally, which do you think will be greatest hurdles or pitfalls I would face in this project? Any particularities of qgis I should be aware of? (Data formats?) Thanks for your comments, Camilo _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
