Detailed Description

Abstract base class for all map tools.

Map tools are user interactive tools for manipulating the map canvas. For example map pan and zoom features are implemented as map tools.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Flag

enum QgsMapTool::Flag

Enumeration of flags that adjust the way the map tool operates.

Since: QGIS 2.16

Enumerator
Transient	Indicates that this map tool performs a transient (one-off) operation. If it does, the tool can be operated once and then a previous map tool automatically restored.
EditTool	Map tool is an edit tool, which can only be used when layer is editable.
AllowZoomRect	Allow zooming by rectangle (by holding shift and dragging) while the tool is active.

Definition at line 89 of file qgsmaptool.h.
