Detailed Description

Class allowing to manage the auxiliary storage for a vector layer.

Such auxiliary data are data used mostly for the needs of QGIS (symbology) and have no real interest in being stored with the native raw geospatial data.

The need arises from the restrictions existing in the manual placement of labels. Manual placement of labels are possible in QGIS by setting some labeling properties (X and Y position, and rotation angle optionally) as being "data-defined", meaning that values come from a column (or an expression). But setting this up on an existing layer requires either to add new columns to the source layer, while it is not always possible or desirable.

This QgsAuxiliaryLayer provides the solution to this limitation. Actually it's an editable join to the original vector layer with some synchronisation mechanisms activated such as "Upsert On Edit" or "Delete Cascade". Thus, auxiliary fields are editable even if the source layer is not and edition of a joined field is also possible.

Since

QGIS 3.0
