thanks to Enrico Ferreguti, OpenGrib.org, and Matteo, we now have an
experimental downloader plugin:
http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/gribdownloader/
Comments welcome, help even more.
All the best.

Just a follow up: several developers are interested, we are discussing
about details and we'll come out with a proposal. Please add your
comments if interested.
Thanks.

[QGIS-Developer] Meteo in QGIS

2019-02-16 Thread Paolo Cavallini
Hi all,
I think adding to QGIS the possibility of a direct download of meteo
(GRIB) data would be a big improvement, opening many new opportunities.
As you probably know, now GRIB files are fully supported natively by
QGIS, thanks to the work of Martin Dobias, Saber, and Lutra. What is
missing is a relatively simple downloader.
The good news is that there is already a free C++ downloader, from which
we can take inspiration if not directly code:
https://github.com/opengribs/XyGrib/blob/master/src/FileLoaderGRIB.cpp
https://github.com/opengribs/XyGrib/blob/master/src/DialogLoadGRIB.cpp
The port to PyQGIS/Processing seems relatively straightforward; the main
issue is probably replicating the many options available in the download
dialog, plus some specific meteo visualization options (e.g. wind
indicators).
I would be interested in starting a crowdfunding campaign about this -
anyone interested?
More info here:
https://github.com/opengribs/XyGrib/issues/180
Thanks.
