[Qgis-developer] Building plugin for Print Composer

[John Gitau]

Hi Jakob,

A workaround would be to have a plugin that creates a new composer view
object:

*custom_composer = self.iface.createNewComposer("My Composer")*

Then get a reference to the main window in the composer view:

*main_window = custom_composer.composerWindow()*

Then you can either add a new toolbar (and required actions) or append an
action to the main toolbar. Have a look at the ComposerWrapper class for
something similar we implemented for designing charts in the composer:

Hope this is helpful.

Cheers,

John
