[Qgis-user] My first QGIS plugin

[Daniel Collins]

Well done, Arun!
 
Just a quick report from the State of Arizona in the USA.  Your plug in worked perfectly.  I could see this as having useful applications for a project I am working on along the Rio Grande (watershed) in the state of New Mexico.  What is the geographic extent that you are planning for your application?  This may replicate other services available through federal agencies in the US, but I like the clarity and the interface and the pairing of "viewing" and "downloading" options.  Is is possible to select larger regions (say all of India as opposed to individual states)?
 
Cheers.
 
Dan

Subject: [Qgis-user] My first QGIS plugin


Hello Community,

I have written my first QGIS plugin, which is a Qgis interface of the Indian Meterological Department's hourly weather data site www.imdaws.com/ViewAwsData.aspx .

The working of the plugin is explained in simple terms here ( www.arunmozhi.in/2011/11/imdaws-my-first-qgis-plugin/ ) in my blog.

I would love to have feedback from you all.

I am dreaming of things like making this more useful by developing it further to encompass more AWS(Automatic Weather Station) data sites of various countries. But I am unsure of the availability of such data and furthermore about its uses. Kindly share your thoughts.
