I want to automate some tools for QGIS 2.0.2 using Python.

Previously I have used ArcMap for automating tools and now i want to use QGIS.

In ArcMap I used the ModelBuilder, and more specifically the command Export to Python Script to generate Python code from my model.

Now I want to find something similar that will do the same job for my QGIS model i.e. I want to export my model in QGIS to a Python script.

Any ideas?

You can use Save as Python script

enter image description here

The result is a script that you can use in the Toolbox or in the Python console

##Extract raster values (shapefile)=name
##vectorlayer_inputvector=vector
##rasterlayer_inputraster=raster
##boolean_reprojectvectortorastercrs=boolean false
##output_layer_alg1=output vector
outputs_0=processing.runalg("script:pointsfromvector", rasterlayer_inputraster, vectorlayer_inputvector, None)
outputs_1=processing.runalg("script:extractrastervaluestoshapefile", rasterlayer_inputraster, outputs_0['Output_layer'], boolean_reprojectvectortorastercrs, output_layer_alg1)

enter image description here

    Sadly this doesn't work in 2,6 or 2,8. Does anyone know an alternative method? – HC Haase Apr 30 '15 at 8:29
  • @HCHaase - I can confirm that for Windows, QGIS 2.6.1 does still have this function. – Joseph Apr 30 '15 at 9:09
  • @HCHaase If you find this does not work at 2.6 and/or 2.8 it would seem like a new question related to that may be needed. – PolyGeo♦ Apr 30 '15 at 10:30
