Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ ObstacleType

enum QgsLabelObstacleSettings::ObstacleType

Valid obstacle types, which affect how features within the layer will act as obstacles for labels.

Enumerator
PolygonInterior	avoid placing labels over interior of polygon (prefer placing labels totally outside or just slightly inside polygon)
PolygonBoundary	avoid placing labels over boundary of polygon (prefer placing outside or completely inside polygon)
PolygonWhole	avoid placing labels over ANY part of polygon. Where PolygonInterior will prefer to place labels with the smallest area of intersection between the label and the polygon, PolygonWhole will penalise any label which intersects with the polygon by an equal amount, so that placing labels over any part of the polygon is avoided.

Member Function Documentation

◆ factor()

double QgsLabelObstacleSettings::factor ( ) const

inline

Returns the obstacle factor, where 1.0 = default, < 1.0 more likely to be covered by labels,

1.0 less likely to be covered

See also: setFactor(); isObstacle(); type()

Definition at line 84 of file qgslabelobstaclesettings.h.

◆ isObstacle()

bool QgsLabelObstacleSettings::isObstacle ( ) const

inline

Returns true if the features are obstacles to labels of other layers.

See also: setIsObstacle(); factor(); type()

Definition at line 60 of file qgslabelobstaclesettings.h.

◆ obstacleGeometry()

QgsGeometry QgsLabelObstacleSettings::obstacleGeometry ( ) const

Returns the label's obstacle geometry, if different to the feature geometry.

See also: setObstacleGeometry()

Definition at line 26 of file qgslabelobstaclesettings.cpp.

◆ setFactor()

void QgsLabelObstacleSettings::setFactor ( double factor )

inline

Sets the obstacle factor, where 1.0 = default, < 1.0 more likely to be covered by labels,

1.0 less likely to be covered

See also: factor(); isObstacle(); type()

Definition at line 97 of file qgslabelobstaclesettings.h.

◆ setIsObstacle()

void QgsLabelObstacleSettings::setIsObstacle ( bool isObstacle )

inline

Sets whether features are obstacles to labels of other layers.

See also: isObstacle(); factor(); type()

Definition at line 71 of file qgslabelobstaclesettings.h.

◆ setObstacleGeometry()

void QgsLabelObstacleSettings::setObstacleGeometry ( const QgsGeometry & obstacleGeom )

Sets the label's obstacle geometry, if different to the feature geometry.

This can be used to override the shape of the feature for obstacle detection, e.g., to buffer around a point geometry to prevent labels being placed too close to the point itself. It not set, the feature's geometry is used for obstacle detection.
