Detailed Description

An Abstract Base Class for QGIS project property hierarchies.

Each sub-class is either a QgsPropertyKey or QgsPropertyValue. QgsPropertyKeys can contain either QgsPropertyKeys or QgsPropertyValues, thus describing an hierarchy. QgsPropertyValues are always graph leaves.

Note

This is really a hidden QgsProject implementation class. It was getting too large and unwieldy, so it's broken out here into separate files.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void QgsProperty::dump ( size_t  tabs = 0 ) const

pure virtual

dumps out the keys and values

Parameters

tabs	is number of tabs to print; used for pretty-printing hierarchy

Implemented in QgsPropertyKey, and QgsPropertyValue.

virtual bool QgsProperty::isKey ( ) const

pure virtual

returns true if is a QgsPropertyKey

Implemented in QgsPropertyKey, and QgsPropertyValue.

Referenced by findKey_().

virtual bool QgsProperty::isLeaf ( ) const

pure virtual

returns true if a leaf node

A leaf node is a key node that has either no value or a single value. A non-leaf node would be a key node with key sub-nodes.

This is used for entryList() and subkeyList() implementation.

Implemented in QgsPropertyKey, and QgsPropertyValue.

virtual bool QgsProperty::isValue ( ) const

pure virtual

returns true if is a QgsPropertyValue

Implemented in QgsPropertyKey, and QgsPropertyValue.

Referenced by findKey_().

virtual bool QgsProperty::readXML ( QDomNode &  keyNode )

pure virtual

restores property hierarchy to given Dom node

Used for restoring properties from project file

Implemented in QgsPropertyKey, and QgsPropertyValue.

virtual QVariant QgsProperty::value ( ) const

pure virtual

return the node's value

For QgsPropertyValue nodes, this is straightforward – just return the embedded QVariant, _value. For QgsPropertyKey, this means returning the QgsPropertyValue _value that is keyed by its name, if it exists; i.e., QgsPropertyKey "foo" will return the property value mapped to its name, "foo", in its QHash of QProperties.

Implemented in QgsPropertyKey, and QgsPropertyValue.

Referenced by QgsPropertyKey::find(), and QgsPropertyKey::value().

virtual bool QgsProperty::writeXML ( const QString &  nodeName, QDomElement &  element, QDomDocument &  document  )

pure virtual

adds property hierarchy to given Dom element

Used for saving properties to project file.

Parameters

nodeName	the tag name associated with this element
element	the parent (or encompassing) property element
document	the overall project file Dom document

Implemented in QgsPropertyKey, and QgsPropertyValue.
