◆ preferredRasterFormat()

QString QgsProcessingContext::preferredRasterFormat ( ) const
inline

Returns the preferred raster format to use for vector outputs.

This method returns a file extension to use when creating raster outputs (e.g. "tif"). Generally, it is preferable to use the extension associated with a particular parameter, which can be retrieved through QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::defaultFileExtension(). However, in some cases, a specific parameter may not be available to call this method on (e.g. for an algorithm which has only an output folder parameter and which creates multiple output layers in that folder). In this case, the format returned by this function should be used when creating these outputs.

It is the algorithm's responsibility to check whether the returned format is acceptable for the algorithm, and to provide an appropriate fallback when the returned format is not usable.

Generally, it is preferable to use the extension associated with a particular parameter, which can be retrieved through QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::defaultFileExtension(). However, in some cases, a specific parameter may not be available to call this method on (e.g. for an algorithm which has only an output folder parameter and which creates multiple output layers in that folder).

◆ pushToThread()

void QgsProcessingContext::pushToThread ( QThread *  thread)

Sets the expression context.

Definition at line 143 of file qgsprocessingcontext.h.

◆ setFeedback()

void QgsProcessingContext::setFeedback ( QgsProcessingFeedback feedback)
inline

Sets an associated feedback object.

This allows context related functions to report feedback and errors to users and processing logs. While ideally this feedback object should outlive the context, only a weak pointer to feedback is stored and no errors will occur if feedback is deleted before the context. Ownership of feedback is not transferred.
