You will see that a number of methods are already implemented for you - including some examples of how to add a raster or vector layer to the main application map canvas. This class is a concrete instance of the QgisPlugin interface which defines required behaviour for a plugin. In particular, a plugin has a number of static methods and members so that the QgsPluginManager and plugin loader logic can identify each plugin, create an appropriate menu entry for it etc. Note there is nothing stopping you creating multiple toolbar icons and menu entries for a single plugin. By default though a single menu entry and toolbar button is created and its pre-configured to call the run() method in this class when selected. This default implementation provided for you by the plugin builder is well documented, so please refer to the code for further advice.</p> <p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; font-family:'Sans Serif';"></p> <p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; font-family:'Sans Serif';"><span style=" font-weight:600; color:#dc143c;">[pluginlcasename]gui.ui</span></p> <p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; font-family:'Sans Serif'; font-weight:600; color:#000000;"><span style=" font-weight:400;">This is a Qt designer 'ui' file.

Note the namespace used for all your resources e.g. (":/[pluginname]/"). It is important to use this prefix for all your resources.
