In Chapter 1, Getting Started with QGIS, we took a brief look at how QGIS Python plugins are organized. In this chapter, we will use this knowledge to create two plugins: a simple "Hello World" style plugin, so you can understand the process, and a much more sophisticated and useful plugin that displays information about a clicked-on geometry. In the process, we will learn how plugins work, how to create and distribute plugins, what plugins will allow us to do, and some of the possibilities and limitations involved in implementing your mapping applications as QGIS plugins.
