Renders a context using a particular symbol layer without passing in a geometry.

This is used as fallback, if the symbol being rendered is not compatible with the specified layer. In such a case, this method can be called and will call the layer's rendering method anyway but the geometry passed to the layer will be empty. This is required for layers that generate their own geometry from other information in the rendering context.

◆ setOutputUnit()

void QgsSymbol::setOutputUnit ( QgsUnitTypes::RenderUnit unit )

Sets the units to use for sizes and widths within the symbol.

unit	output units

See also: outputUnit()

Definition at line 251 of file qgssymbol.cpp.
