Anyone can write plugin like this for me?

When you click to bring up the Menu on the map. It will add custom entries(s) that will be specified in a config/settings file.
The config/settings file will contain something similar to:

Menu Title,Menu to Show in,Wait for response,Command
-----------------------------------------------------
"title 1",S,1,"command {lat} {lon} {zoom}"
"title 2",S,0,"command {lat} {lon}"
"title 3",A,0,"command {MMSI}"
"title 4",S,0,"command"


{lat} {lon} {zoom} > should get replaced by the current latitude, longitude and zoom of the point of the cursor where clicked.


{MMSI} > the mmsi of the select vessel

Not all commands will have all options some may just have lat / lon or some may have nothing.

The "Menu to show in" will be either the (S)tandard Menu or the (A)IS menu.

Once clicked and the command executed if "wait for response" = 1 then a box will show up similar to the "Target Query" for AIS.
It should show the return data if any from the command. It should be able to understand basic formatted text to display similar to basic html.

example:
<b>This is bold</b>
<br>
Hello World

At very least a way to have bold and new lines.
A Huge plus would be to be able to display images as well.

  1. If the "wait for response" = 0 the command will execute but there will be no expected response.

Looking for a plugin that will function as specified above for OpenCPN I am not a C programmer and have written programs in other basic language that would like to get the content back to or be executed from OpenCPN.

Thanks
