<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I am Simran, an intern at the Institute for Software in HSR Rapperswil. I have come up with some Custom Python Expression functions for QGIS. They are: </p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>1. </b></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>hstore_get_value(), hstore_exist(), hstore_contains_key_value() and hstore_contains_hstore() :</b></span></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">These functions can search for keys and values in hstore strings. They are useful for selecting features based on their tags, which are of hstore
type.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>2. maxofallvaluesplusone('fieldName')</b></span></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Given a field name, t</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">his function returns 1 + the maximum of all values in that field. It is useful for automatically</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> generating
a </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">unique id (for example fid) every time the user adds a new feature to a layer.</span><br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You can find the functions on Github: <a href="https://github.com/simran001/custom-expression-functions" target="_blank" class="x_OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk376100" previewremoved="true">https://github.com/simran001/custom-expression-functions</a></span><br>

</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Please let me know if I should publish these functions as part of the QGIS Resource Sharing Plugin, or if it would be a better idea to make a pull
request at <a href="https://github.com/NathanW2/qgsexpressionsplus" target="_blank" class="x_OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk365561" previewremoved="true">https://github.com/NathanW2/qgsexpressionsplus</a>.</span><br>
