Detailed Description

A collection of utilities for working with parameters when running a processing algorithm.

Parameters are stored in a QVariantMap and referenced by a unique string key. The QVariants in parameters are not usually accessed directly, and instead the high level API provided through QgsProcessingParameters parameterAsString(), parameterAsDouble() are used instead.

Parameters are evaluated using a provided QgsProcessingContext, allowing the evaluation to understand available map layers and expression contexts (for expression based parameters).

Since: QGIS 3.0

Member Function Documentation

◆ descriptionFromName()

QString QgsProcessingParameters::descriptionFromName ( const QString & name )

static

Creates an autogenerated parameter description from a parameter name.

Definition at line 1211 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ isDynamic()

bool QgsProcessingParameters::isDynamic	(	const QVariantMap &	parameters,
		const QString &	name
	)

static

Returns true if the parameter with matching name is a dynamic parameter, and must be evaluated once for every input feature processed.

Definition at line 49 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ parameterAsBool()

bool QgsProcessingParameters::parameterAsBool	(	const QgsProcessingParameterDefinition *	definition,
		const QVariantMap &	parameters,
		const QgsProcessingContext &	context
	)

static

Evaluates the parameter with matching definition to a static boolean value.

Definition at line 219 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ parameterAsCompatibleSourceLayerPath()

QString QgsProcessingParameters::parameterAsCompatibleSourceLayerPath	(	const QgsProcessingParameterDefinition *	definition,
		const QVariantMap &	parameters,
		QgsProcessingContext &	context,
		const QStringList &	compatibleFormats,
		const QString &	preferredFormat = `QString( "shp" )`,
		QgsProcessingFeedback *	feedback = `nullptr`
	)

static

Evaluates the parameter with matching definition to a source vector layer file path of compatible format.

If the parameter is evaluated to an existing layer, and that layer is not of the format listed in the compatibleFormats argument, then the layer will first be exported to a compatible format in a temporary location. The function will then return the path to that temporary file.

compatibleFormats should consist entirely of lowercase file extensions, e.g. 'shp'.

The preferredFormat argument is used to specify to desired file extension to use when a temporary layer export is required. This defaults to shapefiles, because shapefiles are the future (don't believe the geopackage hype!).

Definition at line 309 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ parameterAsCrs()

QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem QgsProcessingParameters::parameterAsCrs	(	const QgsProcessingParameterDefinition *	definition,
		const QVariantMap &	parameters,

		const QgsProcessingContext &	context
	)

static

Evaluates the parameter with matching definition to a enum value.

Definition at line 149 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

		const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem &	crs = `QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem()`
	)

static

Evaluates the parameter with matching definition to a rectangular extent.

See also: parameterAsExtentGeometry(); parameterAsExtentCrs()

Definition at line 556 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ parameterAsExtentCrs()

QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem QgsProcessingParameters::parameterAsExtentCrs	(	const QgsProcessingParameterDefinition *	definition,

See also: parameterAsExtent()

Definition at line 778 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ parameterAsExtentGeometry()

QgsGeometry QgsProcessingParameters::parameterAsExtentGeometry	(	const QgsProcessingParameterDefinition *	definition,

		QgsProcessingContext &	context,
		const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem &	crs = `QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem()`
	)

static

Evaluates the parameter with matching definition to a rectangular extent, and returns a geometry covering this extent.

If crs is set, and the original coordinate reference system of the parameter can be determined, then the extent will be automatically reprojected so that it is in the specified crs. Unlike parameterAsExtent(), the reprojected rectangle returned by this function will no longer be a rectangle itself (i.e. this method returns the geometry of the actual reprojected rectangle, while parameterAsExtent() returns just the extent of the reprojected rectangle).
