Member Function Documentation

◆ area()

double QgsQuadrilateral::area ( ) const

Returns the area of the quadrilateral, or 0 if the quadrilateral is empty.

Definition at line 416 of file qgsquadrilateral.cpp.

◆ equals()

bool QgsQuadrilateral::equals	(	const QgsQuadrilateral &	other,
		double	epsilon = `4 * std::numeric_limits<double>::epsilon()`
	)		const

Compares two QgsQuadrilateral, allowing specification of the maximum allowable difference between points.

Parameters

other	the QgsQuadrilateral to compare
epsilon	the maximum difference allowed / tolerance

Definition at line 229 of file qgsquadrilateral.cpp.

◆ fromRectangle()

QgsQuadrilateral QgsQuadrilateral::fromRectangle ( const QgsRectangle & rectangle )

static

Construct a QgsQuadrilateral as a rectangle from a QgsRectangle.

Parameters

rectangle rectangle

Definition at line 202 of file qgsquadrilateral.cpp.

◆ isValid()

bool QgsQuadrilateral::isValid ( ) const

Convenient method to determine if a QgsQuadrilateral is valid.

A QgsQuadrilateral must be simple (not self-intersecting) and cannot have collinear points.

Definition at line 313 of file qgsquadrilateral.cpp.

◆ operator!=()

bool QgsQuadrilateral::operator!= ( const QgsQuadrilateral & other ) const

Definition at line 250 of file qgsquadrilateral.cpp.

◆ operator==()

bool QgsQuadrilateral::operator== ( const QgsQuadrilateral & other ) const

Definition at line 245 of file qgsquadrilateral.cpp.

◆ perimeter()

double QgsQuadrilateral::perimeter ( ) const

Returns the perimeter of the quadrilateral, or 0 if the quadrilateral is empty.

Definition at line 421 of file qgsquadrilateral.cpp.

◆ points()

QgsPointSequence QgsQuadrilateral::points ( ) const

Returns a list including the vertices of the quadrilateral.

Definition at line 360 of file qgsquadrilateral.cpp.

◆ rectangleFrom3Points()

QgsQuadrilateral QgsQuadrilateral::rectangleFrom3Points	(	const QgsPoint &	p1,
		const QgsPoint &	p2,
		const QgsPoint &	p3,
		ConstructionOption	mode
	)

static

Construct a QgsQuadrilateral as a Rectangle from 3 points.

In the case where one of the points is of type PointZ. The other points will also be of type Z, even if they are of type Point. In addition, the z used will be the one of the first point with a Z. This ensures consistency in point types and the ability to export to a Polygon or LineString.

Parameters

p1	first point
p2	second point
p3	third point
mode	Construction mode to construct the rectangle from 3 points

See also: ConstructionOption

Definition at line 33 of file qgsquadrilateral.cpp.

		const QgsPoint &	p2,
		const QgsPoint &	p3,
		const QgsPoint &	p4
	)

Set all points Returns false if the QgsQuadrilateral is not valid:

The points do not have the same type
The quadrilateral would have auto intersections
The quadrilateral has double points
The quadrilateral has collinear points

Definition at line 347 of file qgsquadrilateral.cpp.

◆ squareFromDiagonal()

QgsQuadrilateral QgsQuadrilateral::squareFromDiagonal	(	const QgsPoint &	p1,
