How to build from source

This plugin is freeware. You can edit and distribute it freely but you must cite this plugin and Mapcurve (Hargrove et al. 2006) if you are using it to develop another plugin. PyQGIS and OSGeoW environment must be integrated to your IDE if you want develop or build from source. Here some command to integrate that from Command Prompt in Windows:

@echo off
path %PATH%;%QGIS_PATH%\bin
path %PATH%;%QGIS_PATH%\apps\grass\grass-78\lib
path %PATH%;%QGIS_PATH%\apps\Qt5\bin
path %PATH%;%QGIS_PATH%\apps\Python36\Scripts

set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%QGIS_PATH%\apps\qgis\python
set PYTHONHOME=%QGIS_PATH%\apps\Python37

start "VisualStudioCode for QGIS" /B  "%VISUAL_STUDIO_CODE_PATH%\code.exe" %YOUR_PLUGIN_DIRECTORY% %*

Here some command for integrating terminal with PyQGIS and OSGeoW in Visual Studio Code:

@echo off
call "%QGIS_PATH%\bin\o4w_env.bat"
call "%QGIS_PATH%\qt5_env.bat"
call "%QGIS_PATH%\py3_env.bat"
call "%OSGeo4W64_PATH%\bin\o4w_env.bat"
call "%OSGeo4W64_PATH%\bin\qt5_env.bat"
call "%OSGeo4W64_PATH%\bin\py3_env.bat"
call "%OSGeo4W64_PATH%\bin\gdal-dev-env.bat"
call "%OSGeo4W64_PATH%\bin\gdal-dev-py3-env.bat"
call "%OSGeo4W64_PATH%\bin\proj-dev-env.bat"

@echo on
pyrcc5 -o resources.py resources.qrc

You can deploy the plugin by copying the repository to plugins QGIS folder or you can deploy it with pb_tool with command pb_tool build. The new plugin can be operated by restarting the QGIS first or using extension called Plugin Reloader. Plugin Reloader available in QGIS Plugin Repository (see https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugin_reloader/).
