It would be nice to have Processing plugins described properly in the official QGIS documentation. I have not been able to find anything useful for plugin developers. Looking at other Processing plugins is an option, but I was hoping to get an even better understanding of this before starting.
Hopefully we'll have instructions soon, thanks to Victor.
Processing has a "Multi-ring buffer (constant distance)" tool nowadays that will create the non-overlapping parts including a ringId
value denoting the number of the ring (1 is the central one) and a distance
value for the maximum distance of each ring (e.g. for rings up to 10 units, the outermost ring will have a 10).
The plugin still offers more, e.g. the varying distances per ring.
You'll save coding the interface, and the user will be able to integrate this into more complex workflows, having iterations, and much more. Ask @volaya for howto, or have a look to other Processing plugins.
