Beta release of QGIS plugin providing interface to VESPA
This repository contains QGIS plugins in subdirectories. To use these, copy containing folders to your .qgis2/python/plugins directory.
Plugin "VESPA" allows for running SAMP HUB and SAMP Client from within QGIS. It accepts VOTables sent from other applications, provided they contain s_region field in correct notation ("Polygon UNKNOWNFrame 1 1 1 1 ...") and saves these as SpatiaLite in temporary folder, then loads it as polygon feature layer into QGIS.
Plugin "GAVOImage" uses thumbnail_url and a few other EPN-TAP2.0 standard fields to load a tumbnail image onto the canvas also georeferencing it over the polygon. At present it can only load one image at a time. This "GAVOImage" plugin has been tested on CRISM table available from epn1.epn-vespa.jacobs-university.de. In combination with WMS layers exposed on the same server this is a nice tool for planetary exploration.
Plugin "polyToAladin" uses s_region field of selected features (can select more than one) to send them via SAMP to Aladin.
