Detailed Description

The QgsLabelFeature class describes a feature that should be used within the labeling engine.

Those may be the usual textual labels, diagrams, or any other custom type of map annotations (generated by custom label providers).

Instances only contain data relevant to the labeling engine (geometry, label size etc.) necessary for the layout. Rendering of labels is done by label providers.

Individual label providers may create subclasses of QgsLabelFeature in order to add more data to the instances that will be later used for drawing of labels.

this class is not a part of public API yet. See notes in QgsLabelingEngine

predefinedPositionOrder()

Definition at line 288 of file qgslabelfeature.h.

◆ setPriority()

void QgsLabelFeature::setPriority ( double  priority)
inline

Sets the priority for labeling the feature.

Parameters
priorityfeature's priority, as a value between 0 (highest priority) and 1 (lowest priority). Set to -1.0 to use the layer's default priority for this feature.

◆ setRepeatDistance()

void QgsLabelFeature::setRepeatDistance ( double  dist)
inline

Applies only to linestring features - set after what distance (in map units) the labels should be repeated (0 = no repetitions)

Definition at line 300 of file qgslabelfeature.h.

◆ setRotatedSize()

void QgsLabelFeature::setRotatedSize ( QSizeF  size)
inline

Sets an alternate label size to be used when a label rotation angle is between 45 to 135 and 235 to 313 degrees and the text rotation mode is set to rotation-based.

QGIS 3.10

Definition at line 493 of file qgslabelfeature.h.

◆ setSymbol()

void QgsLabelFeature::setSymbol ( const QgsSymbol symbol)
inline

Sets the feature symbol associated with this label.

Ownership of symbol is not transferred to the label feature, .

Definition at line 385 of file qgslabelfeature.h.

◆ setSymbolSize()

void QgsLabelFeature::setSymbolSize ( QSizeF  size)
inline

Sets the size of the rendered symbol associated with this feature.

This size is taken into account in certain label placement modes to avoid placing labels over the rendered symbol for this feature.

See also
symbolSize()

Definition at line 126 of file qgslabelfeature.h.

◆ setVisualMargin()

void QgsLabelFeature::setVisualMargin ( const QgsMargins margin)
inline

Sets the visual margin for the label feature.

The visual margin represents a margin within the label which should not be considered when calculating the positions of candidates for the label feature. It is used in certain label placement modes to adjust the position of candidates so that they all appear to be at visually equal distances from a point feature. For instance, this can be used to place labels which sit above a point so that their baseline rather then the descender of the label is at a preset distance from the point.

Parameters
marginvisual margins for label

visualMargin()

Definition at line 112 of file qgslabelfeature.h.

◆ setZIndex()

void QgsLabelFeature::setZIndex ( double  zIndex)
inline

Sets the label's z-index.

Higher z-index labels are rendered on top of lower z-index labels.

Parameters
zIndexz-index for label

Definition at line 376 of file qgslabelfeature.h.

◆ symbolSize()

const QSizeF& QgsLabelFeature::symbolSize ( ) const
inline

Returns the size of the rendered symbol associated with this feature, if applicable.

This size is taken into account in certain label placement modes to avoid placing labels over the rendered symbol for this feature. The size will only be set for labels associated with a point feature.

See also
symbolSize()

Definition at line 135 of file qgslabelfeature.h.

◆ visualMargin()

const QgsMargins& QgsLabelFeature::visualMargin ( ) const
inline

Returns the visual margin for the label feature.

See also
setVisualMargin() for details

Definition at line 118 of file qgslabelfeature.h.

◆ zIndex()

double QgsLabelFeature::zIndex ( ) const
