QGIS plugin for SimCenter tools

This package provides the libraries and source code for implementing a QGIS-based widget within a SimCenter tool.

First clone this repo and in the .pro file of your project add the following variable:

PATH_TO_QGIS_PLUGIN=../../QGISPlugin

where ../../QGISPlugin should be the path to this repo. Include the repo into your build tree by including the QGIS.pri file as below:

include($$PATH_TO_QGIS_PLUGIN/QGIS.pri)

To add the visualization widget in your code create an instance of the QGISVisualizationWidget class

QGISVisualizationWidget

Once compiled, to get full QGIS functionality, the following folders need to be copied into the built package:

For Mac

1. Copy the folder ../QGISPlugin/mac/Install/share to the folder R2D.app/Contents/MacOS
2. Copy the folder ../QGISPlugin/mac/Install/qgis to the folder R2D.app/Contents/MacOS/lib

How to compile R2D with QGIS

1. Clone the QGISPlugin repo: https://github.com/sgavrilovic/QGISPlugin.git
2. In R2D.pro change the PATH_TO_QGIS_PLUGIN variable to point to the repo where you cloned the QGISPlugin code, e.g., PATH_TO_QGIS_PLUGIN=../../QGISPlugin

FOR MAC ONLY:

During runtime the executable needs to find the QGIS library and its dependencies. Otherwise you will get a *.dylib not found error when you try to run the application. Two options are:

1. Copy everything from the ../QGISPlugin/mac/Install/lib folder into the R2D.app/Contents/Frameworks folder. Copy everything from ../QGISPlugin/mac/qgis-deps-0.8.0/stage/lib folder into the same R2D.app/Contents/Frameworks folder.

2. Set the DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variables to point to the folders where the QGIS libraries are located. To do this in Qt Creator click on Projects->Run->Environment and under the Build Environment change the following:

   Add to DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH the following paths (changing the paths in bold to reflect folder locations on your computer): /Users/steve/Desktop/SimCenter/QGISPlugin/mac/Install/lib:/Users/steve/Desktop/SimCenter/QGISPlugin/mac/qgis-deps-0.8.0/stage/lib

   Add to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH the following paths (changing the paths in bold to reflect folder locations on your computer): /Users/steve/Desktop/SimCenter/QGISPlugin/mac/Install/lib:/Users/steve/Desktop/SimCenter/QGISPlugin/mac/qgis-deps-0.8.0/stage

Note: If you get an error during compilation, you may have to uncheck the "Add build library search path to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH" option Under Projects->Run
