[Qgis-user] Qgis Python plig-in. How can I change the nesting of groups?

[Marco Bernasocchi]

Hi Bernhard, I just wrote a patch for trunk to make this functionality
available to python. it has not been applied yet [1] but it probably
will soon.
after that, you need to do the following (please note that nesting as
well as deleting nested groups is only supported at top level groups for
now):

legend = self.iface.legendInterface()
pG = legend.addGroup("parent", False )
c1 = legend.addGroup("child", False, pG )
c2 = legend.addGroup("child", False, pG )

legend.addGroup("child", False, c2 ) #this creates a top level group
since multiple nesting is not supported yet

I hope it helps
ciao
MArco
