Member Function Documentation

virtual QStringList QgsExpression::Function::aliases ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Returns a list of possible aliases for the function.

These include other permissible names for the function, eg deprecated names.

Returns
list of known aliases
Note
added in QGIS 2.9

Reimplemented in QgsExpression::StaticFunction.

Definition at line 473 of file qgsexpression.h.

QVariant QgsExpression::Function::func ( const QVariantList &  values,
const QgsFeature feature,
QgsExpression parent 
)
virtual
Deprecated:
Use QgsExpressionContext variant instead

Reimplemented in QgsExpression::StaticFunction.

Definition at line 4676 of file qgsexpression.cpp.

QVariant QgsExpression::Function::func ( const QVariantList &  values,
const QgsExpressionContext context,
QgsExpression parent 
)
virtual

Returns result of evaluating the function.

Parameters
valueslist of values passed to the function
contextcontext expression is being evaluated against
parentparent expression
Returns
result of function
Note
named funcV2 in Python bindings. Will be renamed to func to replace deprecated method in QGIS 3.0.

Reimplemented in QgsExpression::StaticFunction, and QgsScopedExpressionFunction.

Definition at line 4683 of file qgsexpression.cpp.

QString QgsExpression::Function::group ( )
inline

The group the function belongs to.

Definition at line 488 of file qgsexpression.h.

virtual bool QgsExpression::Function::handlesNull ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Definition at line 513 of file qgsexpression.h.

const QString QgsExpression::Function::helptext ( )
inline

The help text for the function.

Definition at line 490 of file qgsexpression.h.

bool QgsExpression::Function::isContextual ( ) const
inline

Returns whether the function is only available if provided by a QgsExpressionContext object.

Note
added in QGIS 2.12

Definition at line 485 of file qgsexpression.h.

bool QgsExpression::Function::lazyEval ( )
inline

True if this function should use lazy evaluation.

Lazy evaluation functions take QgsExpression::Node objects rather than the node results when called. You can use node->eval(parent, feature) to evaluate the node and return the result Functions are non lazy default and will be given the node return value when called

Definition at line 478 of file qgsexpression.h.

QString QgsExpression::Function::name ( )
inline

The name of the function.

Definition at line 462 of file qgsexpression.h.

bool QgsExpression::Function::operator== ( const Function other) const
inline

Definition at line 505 of file qgsexpression.h.

int QgsExpression::Function::params ( )
inline

The number of parameters this function takes.

Definition at line 464 of file qgsexpression.h.

virtual QStringList QgsExpression::Function::referencedColumns ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Definition at line 480 of file qgsexpression.h.

bool QgsExpression::Function::usesgeometry ( )
inline

Does this function use a geometry object.

Definition at line 466 of file qgsexpression.h.
