[SoC] beta release of Home Range plugin for QGIS

[Anne Ghisla-2]

Hi all, and apologies for cross-posting,

the code of my Summer of Code project is ready for beta testing!
It's a Python plugin for QGIS that estimates home ranges with different
algorithms, calling R behind the scenes.
Here is the repository:
svn://home.prea.net/svn/GSoC/

and here the information page (have a look at system requirements)
http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/GSoC2008Rbinding

in the repo there is a folder named 'pluginProva'.
Download it in the QGIS user plugin folder:
(qgis_prefix)/share/qgis/python/plugins

run QGIS (better from a shell, control info and some error messages are
still not shown in the GUI) and load the new plugin via Plugin Manager.
That's all.

The plugin needs radio-tracking data, i.e. points. A generic point layer
is accepted; there must be a column that contains the same value for
groups of at least 5 points.

About requirements, I'll be glad if you test the plugin without Numeric
and with different version of all software involved.
Mac testing is particularly welcome.
I'll be glad if you document any running configuration different from
the one indicated in the wiki page.

Before releasing the 1.0 version, I have to find a suitable name for the
plugin.
My first idea is 'homerangeR', but is already the name of another
program (in different case: it's spelled HomeRanger).

May I use homerangeR anyway? any suggestions?

Feedback is welcome!

kind regards,

Hi Anne.
My compliments. How about putting it on a repo, so it's easier to
install via the Plugin installer?
http://www.faunalia.it/qgis/ is available for you, if you wish.
All the best.

Many thanks! although I prefer waiting the end of SoC and put 1.0
release on faunalia's repo.

regards,
Anne
