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

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.

ShowContextMenu 

Show a context menu when right-clicking with the tool (since QGIS 3.14). See populateContextMenu().

Definition at line 89 of file qgsmaptool.h.
