Hi, I'm trying to write my first plugin with pyqgis. I usually do my statistics analysis with R (or matlab), but I would like to speed up things with a custom plugin. Who knows it could be useful in the future for others.
I tried R in Sextante, but I think a separate plugin would be more useful. ok, I created my plugin structure with pluginbuilder and started to customize things. To keep it simple, in my ui file, I created a qcombobox to select a layer, and a qlistwidget to select one or more than one fields. In my py file the code is something like this (most of this is adapted from other people's code :-) )... ----- def chooselayer1(self): self.dlg.ui.chosenlayer1.clear() for name, layer in QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayers().iteritems(): if layer.type() == QgsMapLayer.VectorLayer: self.dlg.ui.chosenlayer1.addItem(layer.name()) self.set_select_attributes() def set_select_attributes(self): self.dlg.ui.Column.clear() if self.dlg.ui.chosenlayer1.currentText() != "": layername1 = self.dlg.ui.chosenlayer1.currentText() for name, selectlayer in QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayers().iteritems(): if selectlayer.name() == layername1: for field in selectlayer.dataProvider().fields(): self.dlg.ui.Column1.addItem(field.name()) ----- Question 1: I want to include a button to calculate for example relative frequencies for a field. In R I would something like: data$fx <- data$x / sum(data$x) ###this would add a column to object data In pyqgis, I would need to get for example the selected field. Would it be something like: selectlayer.pendingFields() / "sum of x which I have no idea how to calculate". Question 2: create a button to sum a selection of fields: again, in R: data$s <- data$var1 + data$var2. I know this are very beginners' questions. I've been studying the material in pyqgis cookbook and qgis api. It's very useful, yet I'm still struggling. Another detail which makes it much harder for beginners are the changes in api 2.0. For all beginners out there it makes it quite hard to google for help. But I guess there's no way around it. Thank you for your help, Aline
