QGIS Plugins¶

Core and External plugins¶

QGIS plugins are implemented either as Core Plugins or External Plugins.

Core Plugins are maintained by the QGIS Development Team and are automatically part of every QGIS distribution. They are written in one of two languages: C++ or Python.

Most of External Plugins are currently written in Python. They are stored either in the ‘Official’ QGIS Repository at http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/ or in external repositories and are maintained by the individual authors. Detailed documentation about the usage, minimum QGIS version, home page, authors, and other important information are provided for the plugins in the Official repository. For other external repositories, documentation might be available with the external plugins themselves. In general, external plugins documentation is not included in this manual.

Installed external python plugins are placed under ~/.qgis2/python/plugins folder. Home directory (denoted by above ~) on Windows is usually something like C:\Documents and Settings\(user) (on Windows XP or earlier) or C:\Users\(user).

Paths to Custom C++ plugins libraries can also be added under Settings ‣ Options ‣ System.

You can manage your plugins in the plugin dialog which can be opened with Plugins > Manage and install plugins ....

When a plugin needs to be updated, and if plugins settings have been set up accordingly, QGIS main interface will display a blue link in the status bar to inform you that there are updates for your plugins waiting to be applied.

Eklentiler Menüsü¶

The menus in the Plugins dialog allow the user to install, uninstall and upgrade plugins in different ways. Each plugin has some metadata displayed in the right panel:

• information on whether the plugin is experimental

• tarif

• rating vote(s) (you can vote for your preferred plugin!)

• etiketler

• some useful links to the home page, tracker and code repository

• yazar(lar)

• erişilebilir sürüm

All

Here, all the available plugins are listed, including both core and external plugins. Use [Upgrade all] to look for new versions of the plugins. Furthermore, you can use [Install plugin] if a plugin is listed but not installed, [Uninstall plugin] as well as [Reinstall plugin] if a plugin is installed. An installed plugin can be temporarily de/activated using the checkbox.

The All menu

Installed

Bu menüde sadece kurulu eklentileri bulabilirsiniz. Dış eklentiler [Eklenti kaldırma] ve [Eklenti tekrar kurma] tuşu kullanılarak tekrar kurulabilir ve kaldırılabilir. [Tümünü güncelle] ye de buradan erişebilirsiniz.

This menu lists all plugins available that are not installed. You can use the [Install plugin] button to implement a plugin into QGIS.

The Not installed menu

Upgradeable

If you activated Show also experimental plugins in the Settings menu, you can use this menu to look for more recent plugin versions. This can be done with the [Upgrade plugin] or [Upgrade all] buttons.

The Upgradeable menu

Settings

Bu menüde sıradaki seçenekleri kullanabilirsiniz:

• Check for updates on startup. Whenever a new plugin or a plugin update is available, QGIS will inform you ‘every time QGIS starts’, ‘once a day’, ‘every 3 days’, ‘every week’, ‘every 2 weeks’ or ‘every month’.
• Show also experimental plugins. QGIS will show you plugins in early stages of development, which are generally unsuitable for production use.

• |onaykutusu|:guietiketi: Kullanılmayan eklentileri de gösterir. Bu eklentiler kullanılmaz ve genellikle üretim kullanımına uygun değildir.

To add external author repositories, click [Add...] in the Plugin repositories section. If you do not want one or more of the added repositories, they can be disabled via the [Edit...] button, or completely removed with the [Delete] button.

Note that you can use an authentication (basic authentication, PKI) to access to a plugin repository. The default QGIS repository is an open repository and you don’t need any authentication. You should deploy your own plugin repository. You can get more information on QGIS authentication support in Authentication chapter.

The Settings menu

The Search function is available in nearly every menu (except Settings). Here, you can look for specific plugins.
