Detailed Description

Main Pal labeling class.

A pal object will contains layers and global information such as which search method will be used.

Note: not available in Python bindings

Pal::Pal ( )

Create an new pal instance.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addLayer()

Layer * Pal::addLayer	(	QgsAbstractLabelProvider *	provider,
		const QString &	layerName,
		QgsPalLayerSettings::Placement	arrangement,
		double	defaultPriority,
		bool	active,
		bool	toLabel,
		bool	displayAll = `false`
	)

add a new layer

Parameters

provider	Provider associated with the layer
layerName	layer's name
arrangement	Howto place candidates
defaultPriority	layer's prioriry (0 is the best, 1 the worst)
active	is the layer is active (currently displayed)
toLabel	the layer will be labeled only if toLablel is `true`
displayAll	if `true`, all features will be labelled even though overlaps occur

Exceptions

PalException::LayerExists

Definition at line 78 of file pal.cpp.

◆ extractProblem()

std::unique_ptr< Problem > Pal::extractProblem	(	const QgsRectangle &	extent,
		const QgsGeometry &	mapBoundary
	)

Extracts the labeling problem for the specified map extent - only features within this extent will be considered.

The mapBoundary argument specifies the actual geometry of the map boundary, which will be used to detect whether a label is visible (or partially visible) in the rendered map. This may differ from extent in the case of rotated or non-rectangular maps.

Definition at line 481 of file pal.cpp.

◆ globalCandidatesLimitLine()

int pal::Pal::globalCandidatesLimitLine ( ) const

inline

Returns the global candidates limit for line features, or 0 if no global limit is in effect.

This is an installation-wide setting which applies to all projects, and is set via QSettings. It can be used to place global limits on the number of candidates generated for line features in order to optimise map rendering speeds.

See also: globalCandidatesLimitPolygon(); globalCandidatesLimitPoint()

Definition at line 230 of file pal.h.

◆ globalCandidatesLimitPoint()

int pal::Pal::globalCandidatesLimitPoint ( ) const

inline

Returns the global candidates limit for point features, or 0 if no global limit is in effect.

This is an installation-wide setting which applies to all projects, and is set via QSettings. It can be used to place global limits on the number of candidates generated for point features in order to optimise map rendering speeds.

See also: globalCandidatesLimitLine(); globalCandidatesLimitPolygon()

Definition at line 218 of file pal.h.

◆ globalCandidatesLimitPolygon()

int pal::Pal::globalCandidatesLimitPolygon ( ) const

inline

Returns the global candidates limit for polygon features, or 0 if no global limit is in effect.

This is an installation-wide setting which applies to all projects, and is set via QSettings. It can be used to place global limits on the number of candidates generated for polygon features in order to optimise map rendering speeds.

See also: globalCandidatesLimitLine(); globalCandidatesLimitPoint()

Definition at line 242 of file pal.h.

◆ isCanceled()

bool pal::Pal::isCanceled ( )

inline

Check whether the job has been canceled.

Definition at line 127 of file pal.h.

◆ maximumLineCandidatesPerMapUnit()

double pal::Pal::maximumLineCandidatesPerMapUnit ( ) const

inline

Returns the maximum number of line label candidate positions per map unit.

See also: setMaximumLineCandidatesPerMapUnit()

Definition at line 171 of file pal.h.

◆ maximumPolygonCandidatesPerMapUnitSquared()

double pal::Pal::maximumPolygonCandidatesPerMapUnitSquared ( ) const

inline

Returns the maximum number of polygon label candidate positions per map unit squared.

See also: setMaximumPolygonCandidatesPerMapUnitSquared()

Definition at line 185 of file pal.h.

◆ operator=()

Pal& pal::Pal::operator= ( const Pal & other )

delete

Pal cannot be copied.

◆ placementVersion()

QgsLabelingEngineSettings::PlacementEngineVersion Pal::placementVersion ( ) const

Returns the placement engine version, which dictates how the label placement problem is solved.

See also: setPlacementVersion()

Definition at line 543 of file pal.cpp.

◆ registerCancellationCallback()

void Pal::registerCancellationCallback	(	Pal::FnIsCanceled	fnCanceled,
		void *	context
	)

Register a function that returns whether this job has been canceled - PAL calls it during the computation.

Definition at line 475 of file pal.cpp.

◆ removeLayer()

void Pal::removeLayer ( Layer * layer )

remove a layer

Parameters

layer layer to remove

Definition at line 60 of file pal.cpp.

◆ setMaximumLineCandidatesPerMapUnit()

void pal::Pal::setMaximumLineCandidatesPerMapUnit ( double candidates )

inline

Sets the maximum number of line label candidates per map unit.

See also: maximumLineCandidatesPerMapUnit()

Definition at line 178 of file pal.h.

◆ setMaximumPolygonCandidatesPerMapUnitSquared()

void pal::Pal::setMaximumPolygonCandidatesPerMapUnitSquared ( double candidates )

inline

Sets the maximum number of polygon label candidates per map unit squared.

See also: maximumPolygonCandidatesPerMapUnitSquared()

Definition at line 192 of file pal.h.

◆ setPlacementVersion()

void Pal::setPlacementVersion ( QgsLabelingEngineSettings::PlacementEngineVersion placementVersion )

Sets the placement engine version, which dictates how the label placement problem is solved.

See also: placementVersion()

Definition at line 548 of file pal.cpp.

◆ setShowPartialLabels()

void Pal::setShowPartialLabels ( bool show )

Sets whether partial labels show be allowed.

See also: showPartialLabels()

Definition at line 538 of file pal.cpp.

◆ showPartialLabels()

bool Pal::showPartialLabels ( ) const

Returns whether partial labels should be allowed.

See also: setShowPartialLabels()

Definition at line 563 of file pal.cpp.

◆ solveProblem()

QList< LabelPosition * > Pal::solveProblem	(	Problem *	prob,
		bool	displayAll,
		QList< pal::LabelPosition * > *	unlabeled = `nullptr`
	)

Solves the labeling problem, selecting the best candidate locations for all labels and returns a list of these calculated label positions.

If displayAll is true, then the best positions for ALL labels will be returned, regardless of whether these labels overlap other labels.

If the optional unlabeled list is specified, it will be filled with a list of all feature labels which could not be placed in the returned solution (e.g. due to overlaps or other constraints).

Ownership of the returned labels is not transferred - it resides with the pal object.
