Detailed Description
Represents a vector layer which manages a vector based data sets.
The QgsVectorLayer is instantiated by specifying the name of a data provider, such as postgres or wfs, and url defining the specific data set to connect to. The vector layer constructor in turn instantiates a QgsVectorDataProvider subclass corresponding to the provider type, and passes it the url. The data provider connects to the data source.
The QgsVectorLayer provides a common interface to the different data types. It also manages editing transactions.
Sample usage of the QgsVectorLayer class:
The main data providers supported by QGIS are listed below.
Vector data providers
Memory data providerType (memory)
The memory data provider is used to construct in memory data, for example scratch data or data generated from spatial operations such as contouring. There is no inherent persistent storage of the data. The data source uri is constructed. The url specifies the geometry type ("point", "linestring", "polygon", "multipoint","multilinestring","multipolygon"), optionally followed by url parameters as follows:
- crs=definition Defines the coordinate reference system to use for the layer. definition is any string accepted by QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::createFromString()
- index=yes Specifies that the layer will be constructed with a spatial index
- field=name:type(length,precision) Defines an attribute of the layer. Multiple field parameters can be added to the data provider definition. type is one of "integer", "double", "string".
An example url is "Point?crs=epsg:4326&field=id:integer&field=name:string(20)&index=yes"
OGR data provider (ogr)
Accesses data using the OGR drivers (http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html). The url is the OGR connection string. A wide variety of data formats can be accessed using this driver, including file based formats used by many GIS systems, database formats, and web services. Some of these formats are also supported by custom data providers listed below.
SpatiaLite data provider (spatialite)
Access data in a SpatiaLite database. The url defines the connection parameters, table, geometry column, and other attributes. The url can be constructed using the QgsDataSourceUri class.
PostgreSQL data provider (postgres)
Connects to a PostgreSQL database. The url defines the connection parameters, table, geometry column, and other attributes. The url can be constructed using the QgsDataSourceUri class.
Microsoft SQL server data provider (mssql)
Connects to a Microsoft SQL server database. The url defines the connection parameters, table, geometry column, and other attributes. The url can be constructed using the QgsDataSourceUri class.
WFS (web feature service) data provider (wfs)
Used to access data provided by a web feature service.
The url can be a HTTP url to a WFS server (legacy, e.g. http://foobar/wfs?TYPENAME=xxx&SRSNAME=yyy[&FILTER=zzz]), or, starting with QGIS 2.16, a URI constructed using the QgsDataSourceUri class with the following parameters :
- url=string (mandatory): HTTP url to a WFS server endpoint. e.g http://foobar/wfs
- typename=string (mandatory): WFS typename
- srsname=string (recommended): SRS like 'EPSG:XXXX'
- username=string
- password=string
- authcfg=string
- version=auto/1.0.0/1.1.0/2.0.0 -sql=string: full SELECT SQL statement with optional WHERE, ORDER BY and possibly with JOIN if supported on server
- filter=string: QGIS expression or OGC/FES filter
- restrictToRequestBBOX=1: to download only features in the view extent (or more generally in the bounding box of the feature iterator)
- maxNumFeatures=number
- IgnoreAxisOrientation=1: to ignore EPSG axis order for WFS 1.1 or 2.0
- InvertAxisOrientation=1: to invert axis order
- hideDownloadProgressDialog=1: to hide the download progress dialog
The ‘FILTER’ query string parameter can be used to filter the WFS feature type. The ‘FILTER’ key value can either be a QGIS expression or an OGC XML filter. If the value is set to a QGIS expression the driver will turn it into OGC XML filter before passing it to the WFS server. Beware the QGIS expression filter only supports” =, !=, <, >, <=, >=, AND, OR, NOT, LIKE, IS NULL” attribute operators, “BBOX, Disjoint, Intersects, Touches, Crosses, Contains, Overlaps, Within” spatial binary operators and the QGIS local “geomFromWKT, geomFromGML” geometry constructor functions.
Also note:
- You can use various functions available in the QGIS Expression list, however the function must exist server side and have the same name and arguments to work.
- Use the special $geometry parameter to provide the layer geometry column as input into the spatial binary operators e.g intersects($geometry, geomFromWKT('POINT (5 6)'))
Delimited text file data provider (delimitedtext)
Accesses data in a delimited text file, for example CSV files generated by spreadsheets. The contents of the file are split into columns based on specified delimiter characters. Each record may be represented spatially either by an X and Y coordinate column, or by a WKT (well known text) formatted columns.
The url defines the filename, the formatting options (how the text in the file is divided into data fields, and which fields contain the X,Y coordinates or WKT text definition. The options are specified as url query items.
At its simplest the url can just be the filename, in which case it will be loaded as a CSV formatted file.
The url may include the following items:
encoding=UTF-8
Defines the character encoding in the file. The default is UTF-8. To use the default encoding for the operating system use "System".
type=(csv|regexp|whitespace|plain)
Defines the algorithm used to split records into columns. Records are defined by new lines, except for csv format files for which quoted fields may span multiple records. The default type is csv.
- "csv" splits the file based on three sets of characters: delimiter characters, quote characters, and escape characters. Delimiter characters mark the end of a field. Quote characters enclose a field which can contain delimiter characters, and newlines. Escape characters cause the following character to be treated literally (including delimiter, quote, and newline characters). Escape and quote characters must be different from delimiter characters. Escape characters that are also quote characters are treated specially - they can only escape themselves within quotes. Elsewhere they are treated as quote characters. The defaults for delimiter, quote, and escape are ',', '"', '"'.
- "regexp" splits each record using a regular expression (see QRegExp documentation for details).
- "whitespace" splits each record based on whitespace (on or more whitespace characters. Leading whitespace in the record is ignored.
- "plain" is provided for backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to CSV except that the default quote characters are single and double quotes, and there is no escape characters.
delimiter=characters
Defines the delimiter characters used for csv and plain type files, or the regular expression for regexp type files. It is a literal string of characters except that "\t" may be used to represent a tab character.
quote=characters
Defines the characters that are used as quote characters for csv and plain type files.
escape=characters
Defines the characters used to escape delimiter, quote, and newline characters.
skipLines=n
Defines the number of lines to ignore at the beginning of the file (default 0)
useHeader=(yes|no)
Defines whether the first record in the file (after skipped lines) contains column names (default yes)
trimFields=(yes|no)
If yes then leading and trailing whitespace will be removed from fields
skipEmptyFields=(yes|no)
If yes then empty fields will be discarded (equivalent to concatenating consecutive delimiters)
maxFields=#
Specifies the maximum number of fields to load for each record. Additional fields will be discarded. Default is 0 - load all fields.
decimalPoint=c
Defines a character that is used as a decimal point in the numeric columns The default is '.'.
xField=column yField=column
Defines the name of the columns holding the x and y coordinates for XY point geometries. If the useHeader is no (ie there are no column names), then this is the column number (with the first column as 1).
xyDms=(yes|no)
If yes then the X and Y coordinates are interpreted as degrees/minutes/seconds format (fairly permissively), or degree/minutes format.
wktField=column
Defines the name of the columns holding the WKT geometry definition for WKT geometries. If the useHeader is no (ie there are no column names), then this is the column number (with the first column as 1).
geomType=(point|line|polygon|none)
Defines the geometry type for WKT type geometries. QGIS will only display one type of geometry for the layer - any others will be ignored when the file is loaded. By default the provider uses the type of the first geometry in the file. Use geomType to override this type.
geomType can also be set to none, in which case the layer is loaded without geometries.
subset=expression
Defines an expression that will identify a subset of records to display
crs=crsstring
Defines the coordinate reference system used for the layer. This can be any string accepted by QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::createFromString()
-subsetIndex=(yes|no)
Determines whether the provider generates an index to improve the efficiency of subsets. The default is yes
-spatialIndex=(yes|no)
Determines whether the provider generates a spatial index. The default is no.
-watchFile=(yes|no)
Defines whether the file will be monitored for changes. The default is to monitor for changes.
quiet
Errors encountered loading the file will not be reported in a user dialog if quiet is included (They will still be shown in the output log).
GPX data provider (gpx)
Provider reads tracks, routes, and waypoints from a GPX file. The url defines the name of the file, and the type of data to retrieve from it ("track", "route", or "waypoint").
An example url is "/home/user/data/holiday.gpx?type=route"
Grass data provider (grass)
Provider to display vector data in a GRASS GIS layer.

| int | field, | ||
| const QVariant & | newValue, | ||
| const QVariant & | oldValue = QVariant(), |
||
| bool | skipDefaultValues = false |
||
| ) |
Changes an attribute value for a feature (but does not immediately commit the changes).
The fid argument specifies the ID of the feature to be changed.
The field argument must specify a valid field index for the layer (where an index of 0 corresponds to the first field).
The new value to be assigned to the field is given by newValue.
If a valid QVariant is specified for oldValue, it will be used as the field value in the case of an undo operation corresponding to this attribute value change. If an invalid QVariant is used (the default behavior), then the feature's current value will be automatically retrieved and used. Note that this involves a feature request to the underlying data provider, so it is more efficient to explicitly pass an oldValue if it is already available.
If skipDefaultValues is set to true, default field values will not be updated. This can be used to override default field value expressions.
Returns true if the feature's attribute was successfully changed.
- Note
- Calls to changeAttributeValue() are only valid for layers in which edits have been enabled by a call to startEditing(). Changes made to features using this method are not committed to the underlying data provider until a commitChanges() call is made. Any uncommitted changes can be discarded by calling rollBack().

| const QgsAttributeMap & | oldValues = QgsAttributeMap(), |
||
| bool | skipDefaultValues = false |
||
| ) |
Changes attributes' values for a feature (but does not immediately commit the changes).
The fid argument specifies the ID of the feature to be changed.
The new values to be assigned to the fields are given by newValues.
If a valid QVariant is specified for a field in oldValues, it will be used as the field value in the case of an undo operation corresponding to this attribute value change. If an invalid QVariant is used (the default behavior), then the feature's current value will be automatically retrieved and used. Note that this involves a feature request to the underlying data provider, so it is more efficient to explicitly pass an oldValue if it is already available.
If skipDefaultValues is set to true, default field values will not be updated. This can be used to override default field value expressions.
Returns true if feature's attributes was successfully changed.
- Note
- Calls to changeAttributeValues() are only valid for layers in which edits have been enabled by a call to startEditing().

| bool | skipDefaultValue = false |
||
| ) |
Changes a feature's geometry within the layer's edit buffer (but does not immediately commit the changes).
The fid argument specifies the ID of the feature to be changed.
If skipDefaultValue is set to true, default field values will not be updated. This can be used to override default field value expressions.
Returns true if the feature's geometry was successfully changed.
- Note
- Calls to changeGeometry() are only valid for layers in which edits have been enabled by a call to startEditing().

- Since
- QGIS 3.0
Implements QgsMapLayer.
Definition at line 203 of file qgsvectorlayer.cpp.
◆ commitChanges()
| bool QgsVectorLayer::commitChanges | ( | ) |
Attempts to commit to the underlying data provider any buffered changes made since the last to call to startEditing().
Returns the result of the attempt. If a commit fails (i.e. false is returned), the in-memory changes are left untouched and are not discarded. This allows editing to continue if the commit failed on e.g. a disallowed value in a Postgres database - the user can re-edit and try again.
The commits occur in distinct stages, (add attributes, add features, change attribute values, change geometries, delete features, delete attributes) so if a stage fails, it can be difficult to roll back cleanly. Therefore any error message returned by commitErrors() also includes which stage failed so that the user has some chance of repairing the damage cleanly.

| bool | skipDefaultValues = false |
||
| ) |
Updates an existing feature in the layer, replacing the attributes and geometry for the feature with matching QgsFeature::id() with the attributes and geometry from feature.
Changes are not immediately committed to the layer.
If skipDefaultValue is set to true, default field values will not be updated. This can be used to override default field value expressions.
Returns true if the feature's attribute was successfully changed.
- Note
- Calls to updateFeature() are only valid for layers in which edits have been enabled by a call to startEditing(). Changes made to features using this method are not committed to the underlying data provider until a commitChanges() call is made. Any uncommitted changes can be discarded by calling rollBack().
- Warning
- This method needs to query the underlying data provider to fetch the feature with matching QgsFeature::id() on every call. Depending on the underlying data source this can be slow to execute. Consider using the more efficient changeAttributeValue() or changeGeometry() methods instead.
Definition at line 955 of file qgsvectorlayer.cpp.
◆ updateFields()
