[Qgis-developer] Building plugin for Print Composer

[Vincent Mora]

Hi all,

I need to add graphs generated by a plugin to compositions. I'm
considering to develop a PluginComposerItem in the same spirit as
PluginLayers, adding/removing a button in the toolbar when the plugin is
registered/removed.

Is that what was needed in your cases, or was a more general approach
required (like the qgis plugin mechanism, being able to access the
interface) ?
