Hi Richard, I think your question is more suitable for developers list (cc-ing).
AFAIK, such behavior currently not available in Processing, but I think this is good addition. If I'm not wrong we already even have similar feature request. Also I agree that having some utilities class for common operations in C++ code with Python bindings will be useful. 2015-10-17 11:45 GMT+03:00 Richard Duivenvoorde <rdmaili...@duif.net>: > > Hi, not sure if I ask something which is already available (then please > let me know how), or else I ask for the following: > > I have a model which runs some scripts. > This model takes as input some x,y,value file coming from an external > appliation. > For a given area this external app (actually a real mathamatical > 'model') is ran several times given different parameters and the result > is visualized in QGIS by showing the xy values, creating contours and > styling it in some ways. > So the scripts in the processing model for given area has several > 'fixed' parameters.
