Add QGIS plugin? #860

Open pcav opened 4 years ago

pcav commented 4 years ago

IMHO, a QGIS plugin http://plugins.qgis.org would greatly simplify user approach to satpy, making it easier to combine it with hundreds of other tools to easily design complex workflow. If interested, we are available for advice and help. Thanks. cc @ghtmtt

Hi @pcav, thanks for the issue. What do you think this plugin would do (reading I'm guessing)? Are you willing to work on the plugin?

I am not a QGIS user, but I've always assumed that users would use Satpy to make geotiffs that would then be loaded in to QGIS.

Hi @djhoese thanks for your fast reply. IMHO a plugin could call satpy commands directly from the QGIS Processing interface, so an user could read and manipulate data from a graphical interface, and create a complete geoprocessing workflow (e.g. extracting data of interest, vectorizing, clipping, etc.). We can help with plugin writing, and if there is enough interest we can search for funding to support this work.
