Hi Duarte, <br><br>well, now I understand better your first question. Sorry for the confusion.<br><br>Regarding the 1 million dollars, I think I'll let anyone else to get them (which means: I don't know the answer :) ). <br>

You can of course re-use the ui file and implement the whole functionality on your own based on the cpp file, basically a translation from C++ to Python. I've done this before and it is not a complex process, but it requires time. <br>
<br>By the way, the folder app of QGIS source code contains QGIS-application-specific code, so I would say you won't find there functionality available in PyQGIS, for that you would have to have a look to the gui and core folders. <br>
<br>Perhaps there are other ways to set the project file programmatically from Python, but I don't know them, sorry.<br><br>Regards, <br><br>Germán<u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">2011/12/14 Duarte Carreira <<a href="mailto:DCarreira@edia.pt" target="_blank">DCarreira@edia.pt</a>><u></u><u></u></p>
