[Qgis-developer] Real-time updates to shapefile in QGIS

[Josh Kretzmer]

Hello,

I am currently attempting to write a Python plugin for QGIS to handle
updates from a GPS receiver in real-time.  I have a thread that is
reading / parsing the lat long updates and adding these points to a
shapefile.  Is there anyway to force an update of the vector layer on
which these point are rendered each time a new point is added?

Thanks,
-Josh
