QGIS - Plugin API.

About QGis Plugins

Plugins provide additional functionality to QGis. Plugins must implement several required methods in order to be registered with QGis. These methods include: name:

  • version
  • description

All QGis plugins must inherit from the abstract base class QgisPlugin. This list will grow as the API is expanded.

In addition, a plugin must implement the classFactory and unload functions. Note that these functions must be declared as extern "C" in order to be resolved properly and prevent C++ name mangling.
