Writing Processing algorithms
You can extend the capabilities of QGIS by adding scripts that can be used within the Processing framework. This will allow you to create your own analysis algorithms and then run them efficiently from the toolbox or from any of the productivity tools, such as the batch processing interface or the graphical modeler.
This recipe covers basic ideas about how to create a Processing algorithm.
