[Qgis-developer] Make digitizing tools available in Python

[Alexander Bruy]

Hi Martin,

In short I need to create rubber band, where user digitize geometry
(snapping should be considered). Later this digitized geometry will
be applied to existing feature(s) and modify them.

Something similar to "Add part" or "Add ring" functionality.
