[Qgis-developer] Composer Management

[Kelly Thomas]

Hello,


I am building a python plugin for QGIS 1.8 and am trying to manipulate the map composers.

The goal is to load a template, customise a few elements, and then leave the composer window up for the user to modify / print / etc.

I know that current composers can be listed by calling qgis.utils.iface.activeComposers().

However I have been unable to create or destroy composer windows without resorting to spoofing user input to the composer manager dialog!

Is there a technique by which I can add/remove composers programmatically?

Thanks,
Kelly Thomas
