External plugins
Using external QGIS Python Plugins
External QGIS plugins are written in Python. They are stored in either
the 'Official' or 'User contributed' QGIS Repostories, or in various other external
repositories maintained by individual authors.
Table <A HREF="#tab:external_plugins">12</A> shows a list of curently available 'Official'
plugins, with a short description.
Detailed documentation about the usage, minimum QGIS version, homepage, authors,
and other important information are provided with the external plugins themselves
and is not included in this manual.
