Sorry if I¡m too superficial without knowing deeply the plugin use cases, this is my 2c:

QGIS/processing with RSpatial, saga and grass are full of kiging interpolation methods why not use the available multiplatforms tools? regards Luigi Pirelli ************************************************************************************************** * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigipirelli * Stackexchange: http://gis.stackexchange.com/users/19667/luigi-pirelli * GitHub: https://github.com/luipir * Mastering QGIS 2nd Edition: * https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/mastering-qgis-second-edition * Hire me: http://goo.gl/BYRQKg ************************************************************************************************** On Wed, 6 Feb 2019 at 07:29, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi QGIS dev list, > > I have just uploaded a new QGIS 2.18.x plugin called PAT - Precision > Agriculture Tools.
