QGIS interface
==============
The QGIS-OTB plugin (requires QGIS > 3.0)
The QGIS-OTB plugin (requires QGIS > 3.2)
-----------------------------------------
With QGIS 3.0.2 or later, you will need to manually install the plugin.
Clone qgis-otb-plugin repository and set ``QGIS_PLUGINPATH``:
With QGIS < 3.8 you will need to manually install the plugin.
You can follow the instruction here: https://gitlab.orfeo-toolbox.org/orfeotoolbox/qgis-otb-plugin#otb-provider-for-qgis-processing
For Linux/Unix/MacOSX
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
::
mkdir $HOME/projects; cd $HOME/projects
git clone https://gitlab.orfeo-toolbox.org/orfeotoolbox/qgis-otb-plugin
export QGIS_PLUGINPATH=$HOME/projects/qgis-otb-plugin
For Windows
^^^^^^^^^^^
Clone qgis-otb-plugin repository to ``C:\qgis-plugins\qgis-otb-plugin``
::
git clone https://gitlab.orfeo-toolbox.org/orfeotoolbox/qgis-otb-plugin
Then set the ``QGIS_PLUGINPATH`` variable:
* System properties (``Windows Key + R -> sysdm.cpl`` )
* Select Advanced Tab -> Environment variables.
* Under "user variables for "
* Add or Edit variable ``QGIS_PLUGINPATH`` and set value to ``C:\qgis-plugins\qgis-otb-plugin``
With QGIS > 3.8, the plugin is in the QGIS core. So you just need install OTB and set the plugin up.
Download and Install OTB
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
......@@ -59,27 +37,6 @@ You can see OTB under "Providers":
* Set OTB application folder. This is location of your OTB applications. ``<OTB_FOLDER>/lib/otb/applications``
* Click "ok" to save settings and close dialog. If settings are correct, you will have OTB algorithms loaded in Processing toolbox
Using the processing toolbox (for QGIS < 3.0)
---------------------------------------------
In older QGIS version (3.0 or before), OTB applications are available from QGIS.
Use them from the processing toolbox, which is accessible under `Processing
-> ToolBox`. Switch to “advanced interface” in the bottom of the
application widget and OTB applications will be there.

Using a custom OTB
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If QGIS cannot find OTB, the “applications folder” and “binaries folder”
can be set from the settings found under Processing :math:`\rightarrow`
Settings :math:`\rightarrow` “service provider”.
.. figure:: Art/QtImages/qgis-otb-settings.png
On some versions of QGIS, if an existing OTB installation is found, the
textfield settings will not be shown. To use a custom OTB instead of the
existing one, you will need to replace the otbcli, otbgui and library
files in QGIS installation directly.
Troubleshoot
------------
As of QGIS 3.8 the otb plugin is in the core. It might get messy if you have a previously installed plugin. Try to remove the old plugin before launching QGIS.
