Detailed Description

The QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider class implements a label provider for vector layers.

Parameters for the labeling are taken from the layer's custom properties or from the given settings.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider() [1/2]

QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider ( QgsVectorLayer layer,
const QString &  providerId,
bool  withFeatureLoop,
const QgsPalLayerSettings settings,
const QString &  layerName = QString() 
)
explicit

Convenience constructor to initialize the provider from given vector layer.

const QgsFields fields,
const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem crs,
const QString &  providerId,
const QgsPalLayerSettings settings,
QgsMapLayer layer,
const QString &  layerName = QString() 
)
explicit

Constructor to initialize the provider from any map layer (e.g. vector tile layer)

Member Function Documentation

◆ drawLabel()

void QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::drawLabel ( QgsRenderContext context,
pal::LabelPosition label 
) const
overridevirtual

Draw this label at the position determined by the labeling engine.

Before any calls to drawLabel(), a provider should be prepared for rendering by a call to startRender() and a corresponding call to stopRender().

Implements QgsAbstractLabelProvider.

Definition at line 351 of file qgsvectorlayerlabelprovider.cpp.

◆ drawLabelBackground()

void QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::drawLabelBackground ( QgsRenderContext context,
pal::LabelPosition label 
) const
overridevirtual

Draw the background for the specified label.

This is called in turn for each label provider before any actual labels are rendered, and allows the provider to render content which should be drawn below ALL map labels (such as background rectangles or callout lines).

Before any calls to drawLabelBackground(), a provider should be prepared for rendering by a call to startRender() and a corresponding call to stopRender().

Since
QGIS 3.10

Reimplemented from QgsAbstractLabelProvider.

Definition at line 304 of file qgsvectorlayerlabelprovider.cpp.

◆ drawLabelPrivate()

void QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::drawLabelPrivate ( pal::LabelPosition label,
QgsRenderContext context,
QgsPalLayerSettings tmpLyr,
QgsTextRenderer::TextPart  drawType,
double  dpiRatio = 1.0 
) const
protected

Internal label drawing method.

Definition at line 488 of file qgsvectorlayerlabelprovider.cpp.

◆ drawUnplacedLabel()

void QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::drawUnplacedLabel ( QgsRenderContext context,
pal::LabelPosition label 
) const
overridevirtual

Draw an unplaced label.

These correspond to features which were registered for labeling, but which could not be labeled (e.g. due to conflicting labels).

The default behavior is to draw nothing for these labels.

Note
This method is only used if the QgsLabelingEngineSettings::DrawUnplacedLabels flag is set on the labeling engine.
Since
QGIS 3.10

Reimplemented from QgsAbstractLabelProvider.

Definition at line 467 of file qgsvectorlayerlabelprovider.cpp.

◆ getPointObstacleGeometry()

QgsGeometry QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::getPointObstacleGeometry ( QgsFeature fet,
QgsRenderContext context,
const QgsSymbolList symbols 
)
static

Returns the geometry for a point feature which should be used as an obstacle for labels.

This obstacle geometry will respect the dimensions and offsets of the symbol used to render the point, and ensures that labels will not overlap large or offset points.

Parameters
fetpoint feature
contextrender context
symbolssymbols rendered for point feature
Since
QGIS 2.14

Definition at line 202 of file qgsvectorlayerlabelprovider.cpp.

◆ init()

void QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::init ( )
protected

initialization method - called from constructors

Definition at line 80 of file qgsvectorlayerlabelprovider.cpp.

◆ labelFeatures()

QList< QgsLabelFeature * > QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::labelFeatures ( QgsRenderContext context)
overridevirtual

Returns list of label features (they are owned by the provider and thus deleted on its destruction)

Implements QgsAbstractLabelProvider.

Definition at line 134 of file qgsvectorlayerlabelprovider.cpp.

◆ prepare()

bool QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::prepare ( QgsRenderContext context,
QSet< QString > &  attributeNames 
)
virtual

Prepare for registration of features.

Must be called after provider has been added to engine (uses its map settings)

Parameters
contextrender context.
attributeNameslist of attribute names to which additional required attributes shall be added
Returns
Whether the preparation was successful - if not, the provider shall not be used

Reimplemented in QgsVectorTileBasicLabelProvider, and QgsRuleBasedLabelProvider.

Definition at line 115 of file qgsvectorlayerlabelprovider.cpp.

◆ registerFeature()

void QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::registerFeature ( const QgsFeature feature,
QgsRenderContext context,
const QgsGeometry obstacleGeometry = QgsGeometry(),
const QgsSymbol symbol = nullptr 
)
virtual

Register a feature for labeling as one or more QgsLabelFeature objects stored into mLabels.

Parameters
featurefeature to label
contextrender context. The QgsExpressionContext contained within the render context must have already had the feature and fields sets prior to calling this method.
obstacleGeometryoptional obstacle geometry, if a different geometry to the feature's geometry should be used as an obstacle for labels (e.g., if the feature has been rendered with an offset point symbol, the obstacle geometry should represent the bounds of the offset symbol). If not set, the feature's original geometry will be used as an obstacle for labels.
symbolfeature symbol to label (ownership is not transferred - the symbol must exist until after labeling is complete)

Reimplemented in QgsRuleBasedLabelProvider.

Definition at line 193 of file qgsvectorlayerlabelprovider.cpp.

◆ setFields()

void QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::setFields ( const QgsFields fields)
inline

Sets fields of this label provider.

Normally this is not needed, but when used for vector tiles, fields are not known at the time of creation of label providers. It should be called before a call to prepare() which uses the list of fields.

Since
QGIS 3.14

Definition at line 117 of file qgsvectorlayerlabelprovider.h.

◆ settings()

const QgsPalLayerSettings & QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::settings ( ) const

Returns the layer's settings.

Since
QGIS 3.10

Definition at line 670 of file qgsvectorlayerlabelprovider.cpp.

◆ startRender()

void QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::startRender ( QgsRenderContext context)
overridevirtual

To be called before rendering of labels begins.

Must be accompanied by a corresponding call to stopRender()

Since
QGIS 3.10

Reimplemented from QgsAbstractLabelProvider.

Definition at line 122 of file qgsvectorlayerlabelprovider.cpp.

◆ stopRender()

void QgsVectorLayerLabelProvider::stopRender ( QgsRenderContext context)
overridevirtual

To be called after rendering is complete.
