The functionality of GenGIS can be extended by writing a Python plugin. Python plugins reside in the plugins folder within your GenGIS directory. In this tutorial we will create a simple "Hello World" plugin which writes a simple greeting to the GenGIS viewport.
Required Files
Begin by creating the directory HelloWorld within the GenGIS plugins' directory. Within this directory create a file called __init__.py. This file contains general information about your plugin which is used by GenGIS to load the plugin. For our Hello World plugin, enter the following into __init__.py:
def name(): return "Hello World" def version(): return "Version 1.0" def description(): return "Prints Hello World to the Viewport." def authors(): return "Donovan Parks" def publicationDate(): return "March 1, 2012" def minimumVersionOfGenGIS(): return "2.0" def requireR(): return False
