Python QGIS Extension, How and Why?

QGIS is an open-source GIS application. It integrates numerous vector, raster, database formats, and many other features.

QGIS can be found on the qgis.org website, and you can download it for various platforms such as Windows, MacOS, or GNU/Linux. <br /> Then, open the QGIS software to use its features (visualize data, browse data, create maps...)

QGIS offers users 2 types of extensions: core extensions and third-party extensions. <br /> Core extensions are maintained by the QGIS development team and are automatically included in every QGIS distribution. They are written in C++ or Python. <br /> Third-party extensions are written in Python and are stored in external repositories maintained by their authors.

Make sure you have already installed the Python extension to be able to develop your extensions. <br /> Create a new project for your extension, and it's up to you to write Python code to add the desired functionality!
