Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Flag

Enumeration of flags that affect rendering operations.

Since
QGIS 2.14
Enumerator
DrawEditingInfo 

Enable drawing of vertex markers for layers in editing mode.

ForceVectorOutput 

Vector graphics should not be cached and drawn as raster images.

UseAdvancedEffects 

Enable layer opacity and blending effects.

UseRenderingOptimization 

Enable vector simplification and other rendering optimizations.

DrawSelection 

Whether vector selections should be shown in the rendered map.

DrawSymbolBounds 

Draw bounds of symbols (for debugging/testing)

RenderMapTile 

Draw map such that there are no problems between adjacent tiles.

Antialiasing 

Use antialiasing while drawing.

RenderPartialOutput 

Whether to make extra effort to update map image with partially rendered layers (better for interactive map canvas). Added in QGIS 3.0.

RenderPreviewJob 

Render is a 'canvas preview' render, and shortcuts should be taken to ensure fast rendering.

RenderBlocking 

Render and load remote sources in the same thread to ensure rendering remote sources (svg and images). WARNING: this flag must NEVER be used from GUI based applications (like the main QGIS application) or crashes will result. Only for use in external scripts or QGIS server.

RenderSymbolPreview 

The render is for a symbol preview only and map based properties may not be available, so care should be taken to handle map unit based sizes in an appropriate way.

LosslessImageRendering 

Render images losslessly whenever possible, instead of the default lossy jpeg rendering used for some destination devices (e.g. PDF). This flag only works with builds based on Qt 5.13 or later.

ApplyScalingWorkaroundForTextRendering 

Whether a scaling workaround designed to stablise the rendering of small font sizes (or for painters scaled out by a large amount) when rendering text. Generally this is recommended, but it may incur some performance cost.

Render3DMap 

Render is for a 3D map.

ApplyClipAfterReprojection 

Feature geometry clipping to mapExtent() must be performed after the geometries are transformed using coordinateTransform(). Usually feature geometry clipping occurs using the extent() in the layer's CRS prior to geometry transformation, but in some cases when extent() could not be accurately calculated it is necessary to clip geometries to mapExtent() AFTER transforming them using coordinateTransform().

Definition at line 70 of file qgsrendercontext.h.

◆ TextRenderFormat

Options for rendering text.

Since
QGIS 3.4.3
Enumerator
TextFormatAlwaysOutlines 

Always render text using path objects (AKA outlines/curves).

This setting guarantees the best quality rendering, even when using a raster paint surface (where sub-pixel path based text rendering is superior to sub-pixel text-based rendering). The downside is that text is converted to paths only, so users cannot open created vector outputs for post-processing in other applications and retain text editability.

This setting also guarantees complete compatibility with the full range of formatting options available through QgsTextRenderer and QgsTextFormat, some of which may not be possible to reproduce when using a vector-based paint surface and TextFormatAlwaysText mode.

A final benefit to this setting is that vector exports created using text as outlines do not require all users to have the original fonts installed in order to display the text in its original style.

TextFormatAlwaysText 

Always render text as text objects.

While this mode preserves text objects as text for post-processing in external vector editing applications, it can result in rendering artifacts or poor quality rendering, depending on the text format settings.

Even with raster based paint devices, TextFormatAlwaysText can result in inferior rendering quality to TextFormatAlwaysOutlines.

When rendering using TextFormatAlwaysText to a vector based device (e.g. PDF or SVG), care must be taken to ensure that the required fonts are available to users when opening the created files, or default fallback fonts will be used to display the output instead. (Although PDF exports MAY automatically embed some fonts when possible, depending on the user's platform).

◆ extent()

const QgsRectangle& QgsRenderContext::extent ( ) const
inline

When rendering a map layer, calling this method returns the "clipping" extent for the layer (in the layer's CRS).

This extent is a "worst-case" scenario, which is guaranteed to cover the complete visible portion of the layer when it is rendered to a map. It is often larger than the actual visible portion of that layer.

Warning
For some layers, depending on the visible extent and the coordinate transforms involved, this extent will represent the entire globe. This method should never be used to determine the actual visible extent of a map render.

setExtent()
mapExtent()

Definition at line 306 of file qgsrendercontext.h.

◆ featureClipGeometry()

QgsGeometry QgsRenderContext::featureClipGeometry ( ) const

Returns the geometry to use to clip features at render time.

When vector features are rendered, they should be clipped to this geometry.

Warning
The clipping must take effect for rendering the feature's symbol only, and should never be applied directly to the feature being rendered. Doing so would impact the results of rendering rules which rely on feature geometry, such as a rule-based renderer using the feature's area.
