		const QgsLayoutExporter::SvgExportSettings &	settings,
		QString &	error,
		QgsFeedback *	feedback = `nullptr`

static

Exports a layout iterator to SVG files, with the specified export settings.

The baseFilePath argument gives a base file path, which is modified by the iterator to obtain file paths for each iterator feature.

Returns a result code indicating whether the export was successful or an error was encountered. If an error was obtained then error will be set to the error description.

◆ georeferenceOutput()

bool QgsLayoutExporter::georeferenceOutput	(	const QString &	file,
		QgsLayoutItemMap *	referenceMap = `nullptr`,
		const QRectF &	exportRegion = `QRectF()`,
		double	dpi = `-1`
	)		const

Georeferences a file (image of PDF) exported from the layout.

The referenceMap argument specifies a map item to use for georeferencing. If left as nullptr, the default layout QgsLayout::referenceMap() will be used.

The exportRegion argument can be set to a valid rectangle to indicate that only part of the layout was exported.

Similarly, the dpi can be set to the actual DPI of exported file, or left as -1 to use the layout's default DPI.

The function will return true if the output was successfully georeferenced.

Renders a full page to an image.

The page argument specifies the page number to render. Page numbers are 0 based, such that the first page in a layout is page 0.

The optional imageSize parameter can specify the target image size, in pixels. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the ratio of the target image size matches the ratio of the corresponding layout page size.

The dpi parameter is an optional dpi override. Set to -1 to use the default layout print resolution. This parameter has no effect if imageSize is specified.

Returns the rendered image, or a null QImage if the image does not fit into available memory.

		const QRectF &	region
	)		const

Renders a region from the layout to a painter.

This method can be used to render sections of pages rather than full pages.

Definition at line 248 of file qgslayoutexporter.cpp.

◆ renderRegionToImage()

QImage QgsLayoutExporter::renderRegionToImage	(	const QRectF &	region,

The optional imageSize parameter can specify the target image size, in pixels. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the ratio of the target image size matches the ratio of the specified region of the layout.

The dpi parameter is an optional dpi override. Set to -1 to use the default layout print resolution. This parameter has no effect if imageSize is specified.

Returns the rendered image, or a null QImage if the image does not fit into available memory.
