Detailed Description

This class provides qgis with the ability to render raster datasets onto the mapcanvas.

The qgsrasterlayer class makes use of gdal for data io, and thus supports any gdal supported format. The constructor attempts to infer what type of file (LayerType) is being opened - not in terms of the file format (tif, ascii grid etc.) but rather in terms of whether the image is a GRAYSCALE, PaletteD or Multiband,

Within the three allowable raster layer types, there are 8 permutations of how a layer can actually be rendered. These are defined in the DrawingStyle enum and consist of:

SingleBandGray -> a GRAYSCALE layer drawn as a range of gray colors (0-255) SingleBandPseudoColor -> a GRAYSCALE layer drawn using a pseudocolor algorithm PalettedSingleBandGray -> a PaletteD layer drawn in gray scale (using only one of the color components) PalettedSingleBandPseudoColor -> a PaletteD layer having only one of its color components rendered as pseudo color PalettedMultiBandColor -> a PaletteD image where the bands contains 24bit color info and 8 bits is pulled out per color MultiBandSingleBandGray -> a layer containing 2 or more bands, but using only one band to produce a grayscale image MultiBandSingleBandPseudoColor -> a layer containing 2 or more bands, but using only one band to produce a pseudocolor image MultiBandColor -> a layer containing 2 or more bands, mapped to the three RGBcolors. In the case of a multiband with only two bands, one band will have to be mapped to more than one color

Each of the above mentioned drawing styles is implemented in its own draw* function. Some of the drawing styles listed above require statistics about the layer such as the min / max / mean / stddev etc. statistics for a band can be gathered using the bandStatistics function. Note that statistics gathering is a slow process and every effort should be made to call this function as few times as possible. For this reason, qgsraster has a vector class member to store stats for each band. The constructor initializes this vector on startup, but only populates the band name and number fields.

Note that where bands are of gdal 'undefined' type, their values may exceed the renderable range of 0-255. Because of this a linear scaling histogram enhanceContrast is applied to undefined layers to normalise the data into the 0-255 range.

A qgsrasterlayer band can be referred to either by name or by number (base=1). It should be noted that band names as stored in datafiles may not be unique, and so the rasterlayer class appends the band number in brackets behind each band name.

Sample usage of the QgsRasterLayer class:

QString myFileNameQString = "/path/to/file";
QFileInfo myFileInfo(myFileNameQString);
QString myBaseNameQString = myFileInfo.baseName();
QgsRasterLayer *myRasterLayer = new QgsRasterLayer(myFileNameQString, myBaseNameQString);

In order to automate redrawing of a raster layer, you should like it to a map canvas like this :

QObject::connect( myRasterLayer, SIGNAL(repaintRequested()), mapCanvas, SLOT(refresh()) );

Once a layer has been created you can find out what type of layer it is (GrayOrUndefined, Palette or Multiband):

if (rasterLayer->rasterType()==QgsRasterLayer::Multiband)
{

Raster layers can also have an arbitrary level of transparency defined, and have their color palettes inverted using the setTransparency and setInvertHistogram methods.

Pseudocolor images can have their output adjusted to a given number of standard deviations using the setStandardDeviations method.

The final area of functionality you may be interested in is band mapping. Band mapping allows you to choose arbitrary band -> color mappings and is applicable only to Palette and Multiband rasters, There are four mappings that can be made: red, green, blue and gray. Mappings are non-exclusive. That is a given band can be assigned to no, some or all color mappings. The constructor sets sensible defaults for band mappings but these can be overridden at run time using the setRedBandName, setGreenBandName, setBlueBandName and setGrayBandName methods.

◆ QgsRasterLayer() [1/2]

QgsRasterLayer::QgsRasterLayer ( )

Constructor. Provider is not set.

const QString &  baseName = QString(),
const QString &  providerKey = "gdal",
const QgsRasterLayer::LayerOptions options = QgsRasterLayer::LayerOptions() 
)
explicit

This is the constructor for the RasterLayer class.

The main tasks carried out by the constructor are:

-Load the rasters default style (.qml) file if it exists

-Populate the RasterStatsVector with initial values for each band.

-Calculate the layer extents

-Determine whether the layer is gray, paletted or multiband.

-Assign sensible defaults for the red, green, blue and gray bands.
