Detailed Description

The QgsLegendRenderer class handles automatic layout and rendering of legend.

The content is given by QgsLayerTreeModel instance. Various layout properties can be configured within QgsLegendRenderer.

All spacing and sizes are in millimeters.

Since
QGIS 2.6

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsLegendRenderer()

QgsLegendRenderer::QgsLegendRenderer ( QgsLayerTreeModel legendModel,
const QgsLegendSettings settings 
)

Constructor for QgsLegendRenderer.

The ownership of the legend model is not changed, and the model must exist for the lifetime of this renderer.

Definition at line 33 of file qgslegendrenderer.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ drawLegend() [1/2]

void QgsLegendRenderer::drawLegend ( QgsRenderContext context)

Draws the legend using a given render context.

The legend will occupy the area reported in legendSize().

Since
QGIS 3.6

Definition at line 922 of file qgslegendrenderer.cpp.

◆ drawLegend() [2/2]

void QgsLegendRenderer::drawLegend ( QPainter *  painter)

Draws the legend with given painter.

The legend will occupy the area reported in legendSize(). The painter should be scaled beforehand so that units correspond to millimeters.

Deprecated:
Use the variant which accepts a QgsRenderContext instead.

Definition at line 58 of file qgslegendrenderer.cpp.

◆ exportLegendToJson()

QJsonObject QgsLegendRenderer::exportLegendToJson ( const QgsRenderContext context)

Renders the legend in a json object.

Since
QGIS 3.8

Definition at line 71 of file qgslegendrenderer.cpp.

◆ legendSize()

QSizeF QgsLegendRenderer::legendSize ( ) const
inline

Returns the preferred legend size set by the client.

If the returned size is null, the legend will be drawn with the minimum possible size to fit its content.

setLegendSize()

Definition at line 81 of file qgslegendrenderer.h.

◆ minimumSize()

QSizeF QgsLegendRenderer::minimumSize ( QgsRenderContext renderContext = nullptr)

Runs the layout algorithm and returns the minimum size required for the legend.

◆ nodeLegendStyle()

QgsLegendStyle::Style QgsLegendRenderer::nodeLegendStyle ( QgsLayerTreeNode node,
QgsLayerTreeModel model 
)
static

Returns the style for the given node, within the specified model.

setNodeLegendStyle()

Definition at line 870 of file qgslegendrenderer.cpp.

◆ setLegendSize()

void QgsLegendRenderer::setLegendSize ( QSizeF  s)
inline

Sets the preferred resulting legend size.

If the size is null, the legend will be drawn with the minimum possible size to fit its content.

◆ setNodeLegendStyle()

void QgsLegendRenderer::setNodeLegendStyle ( QgsLayerTreeNode node,
QgsLegendStyle::Style  style 
)
static

Sets the style of a node.
