10.1 An Introduction to Using Plugins Figure 19: Plugin Manager 10.1.3. Data Providers Data Providers are "special" plugins that provides access to a data store. By default, QGIS supports PostGIS layers and disk-based data stores supported by the GDAL/OGR library (Appendix A.1). A Data Provider plugin extends the ability of QGIS to use other data sources. Data Provider plugins are registered automatically by QGIS at startup. They are not managed by the Plugin Manager but are used behind the scenes when a corresponding data type is added as a layer in QGIS. 10.1.4. Core Plugins QGIS currently contains 9 core plugins that can be loaded using the Plugin Manager. Table 5 lists each of the core plugins along with a description of their purpose and the toolbar-icon. Note the GRASS plugin is not included below because it installs its own toolbar (see section 8 for a discussion of available features in the GRASS plugin). QGIS 0.8 User Guide 67

Please check the installation-chapter C for details. Tip 32 PLUGINS SETTINGS SAVED TO PROJECT When you save a .qgs project, any changes you have made to NorthArrow, ScaleBar and Copyright plugins will be saved in the project and restored next time you load the project. 10.1.5. External Plugins QGIS also comes with some externally developed plugins. They are not shipped with the default distribution. However, they can be compiled and used within QGIS. Currently the external plugins are only available directly from SVN. To check out all available external plugins do the following: svn co https://svn.qgis.org/repos/qgis/trunk/external_plugins external_qgis_plugins This will create a folder external_qgis_plugins in your current folder. Each subdirectory has its own compile and install instructions. Read them carefully in order to build the plugin. QGIS 0.8 User Guide 68
