</span> That is an interface to QGIS Processing, it doesn't do any graphics<br>
because it starts a new QGIS process on every function call - a few<br>
seconds startup is not a problem when you want to run a processing<br>
pipeline that takes a minute, but not good if you are trying to create<br>
an interactive map canvas.<br>
<br>
My idea is prototyped in a thing I call pqgisr, which uses an R<br>
package that embeds a python interpreter in R and then calls QGIS<br>
python API. Hence I can create a map canvas, add data, style it etc<br>
etc with python, but I have to block on a Qt loop to get an<br>
interactive UI, which the user has to choose to quit and get back to<br>
an R prompt, at which point the QGIS blocks.<br>

</span>Okay that's a bit confusing. Those are the grass projects, on a trac,<br>
and the pycsw projects on a github - do I need to ask the QGIS GSoC<br>
team (who are they?) where they are storing their GSoC ideas? I'll try<br>
the QGIS-dev list, I think there's been some action there I've<br>
missed...<br>
<br>
I've mentored a couple of GSoC projects from R in the past, and have<br>
literally got the t-shirts.<br>
