QGIS Plugins

QGIS has been designed with a plugin architecture. This allows many new features and functions to be easily added to the application. Many of the features in QGIS are actually implemented as plugins.

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 could display a blue link in the status bar to tell you that there are some updates for plugins waiting to be applied.

プラグインダイアログ

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

  • information if the plugin is experimental

  • 説明

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

  • タグ

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

  • 作者

  • 利用可能バージョン

特定のプラグインを見つけるためフィルタを使うことができます。

mActionShowPluginManager 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, and [Uninstall plugin] as well as [Reinstall plugin], if a plugin is installed. If a plugin is installed, it can be de/activated using the checkbox.

mActionTransformSettings Settings

このメニューであなたは以下のオプションを使えます:

  • checkbox 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’.
  • checkbox Show also experimental plugins. QGIS will show you plugins in early stages of development, which are generally unsuitable for production use.

  • checkbox 非推奨プラグインも表示する. これらのプラグインは、非推奨となり、本番環境での使用にとって、一般的には適していません。

外部リポジトリを追加するためには Plugin repositories セクションにある [Add...] をクリックして下さい.追加したリポジトリを利用したくなくなった場合は [Edit...] ボタンで無効にできますし, [Delete] ボタンで完全に削除できます.

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

ちなみに

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. External Plugins are currently all written in Python. They are stored 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 ‘Official’ QGIS Repository at http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/. For other external repositories, documentation might be available with the external plugins themselves. In general, it is not included in this manual.
