The OWF GeoProcessor software is a Python application and supporting modules that runs QGIS Python modules and other code to process spatial data. The OWF GeoProcessor is under development and is being tested internally at OWF, with the expectation that it will be released publicly as an open source project in the first half of 2018. Documentation and tests are being provided in public repositories to evaluate opportunities to use on projects. The OWF GeoProcessor is designed to provide the following functionality:
For
and If
commands,
and support for processor properties to allow dynamic scripting.The goal is to allow software users to install QGIS, install the OWF GeoProcessor software, and begin automating simple to complex geoprocessing tasks. The approach also facilitates maintaining geoprocessing workflow in text files that can be maintained under version control, such as on GitHub.
This repository contains the following main folders.
owf-app-geoprocessor-python-doc-dev/ GeoProcessor development repository.
build-util/ Scripts to view, build, and deploy documentation.
mkdocs.yml MkDocs configuration file for website.
docs/ Markdown and other files for website.
site/ Created by MkDocs containing the static website - ignored using .gitignore.
The development environment for developer documentation requires installation of Python 3, MkDocs, and Material MkDocs theme. See the OWF / Learn MkDocs documentation for information about installing these tools.
The development environment will change as the developers upgrade to newer versions of software tools.
If the development environment is properly configured, edit and view content as follows:
