Custom Python Expression Functions for QGIS

Possible examples:

  • Function reading from other feature properties
  • Function reading from other layers (1:1)
  • Functions aka system variables and "Singletons" like layer properties or number sequence (spcial Plugin needed?)
  • Function for remote webservice: geocoding (reading from the internet)

QGIS 2.18.x LTE

Where are Expression Functions used?

  • Processing => Refactor fields

Use cases:

  • z.B. env('USERNAME')
  • Autoincrement / Sequence => QGIS 2.18 default Werte (QGIS 3 geplant)
  • Add new (calculated) field

Plugins:

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

Writing:

  • How to install and share an Expression Function?
    • Copy to %home%/.qgis2/ python/ expressions / (?)
    • Add them to qgis2/python/startup.py
    • In any (own and loaded) plugin
    • In the "Expresion Plus Plugin"
  • Debugging:
    • print
    • use pdb
    • (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/
