HistoricalSensitivity plugin for QGIS

Author: Benedikt Budig / Universität Würzburg

This plugin for QGIS takes a layer with assignments and their corresponding sensitivity values and presents them in ascending order to the user.

Installation

Assuming you have the latest python-enabled QGIS version installed, place the HistoricalSensitivity folder in the following directory:

.qgis2/python/plugins/

In QGIS, go to Plugins -> Manage and Install Plugins -> Installed and activate the HistoricalSensitivity plugin.

Usage and Tests

This plugin presents sensitive assignments in historical maps to the user. You need to load a layer containing this data in QGIS. With this layer being selected, run the plugin. It presents every assignment in ascending order of sensitivity by selecting it and panning the map accordingly.

As of now, the code to create such layers is not yet ready to be released. However, all layers containing geometries and a (sensitivity) value as its first attribute can be presented using this plugin.

In the Tests folder, two examples for historical map data with assignment sensitivities are provided.
