Custom Python Expression Functions for QGIS

Background - Where are Expression Functions used?

  • Any place
  • Processing => Refactor fields

Collected use cases:

  • Add new (calculated) field
  • Autoincrement / Sequence => QGIS 2.18 default Werte (QGIS 3 geplant)

Possible examples:

  1. Function reading from other feature properties
  2. Functions aka predefined variables (@), "Singletons" like System Env (usage "env('USERNAME')") layer properties or number sequence (spcial Plugin needed?)
  3. Function for remote webservice: geocoding (reading from the internet)
  4. Function reading from other layers (1:1)


Plugins:

  • ExpressionPlus (for QGIS)
  • refFunctions
  • spatialJoin
  • AutoFields (obsolete)

Writing:

  • How to install and share an Expression Function?
    • Save and Load in "Function Edtior" (saves to "%USERHOME%.qgis2\python\expressions" (where %USERHOME% under Windows is e.g. "C:\Users\sfkeller\").
    • Add Fn. to qgis2/python/startup.py
    • Add Fn. to any (own and loaded) QGIS plugin
    • Add Fn. to the "Expresion Plus Plugin"
  • Debugging:
    • use "print"
    • use pdb (see QGIS docs and giswiki)
    • (use Remote Debug Plugin)
  • FAQ
    • How to store a value in PyQGIS? Use QSettings (/.qgis) or QGISProject (.qgs)


Notes:

Add attributes from a layer in the project or an external file (csv) to a layer (or the composer?) using insert expression? Create a custom expression python function to do this: http://nathanw.net/2012/11/10/user-defined-expression-functions-for-qgis/
