◆ setTheme()

void QgsMapCanvas::setTheme ( const QString &  theme)

Sets a map theme to show in the canvas.

The theme name must match a theme present in the associated project's QgsMapThemeCollection.

Calls to setLayers() or setLayerStyleOverrides() will have no effect, and canvases associated with a QgsLayerTreeMapCanvasBridge will no longer synchronize their state with the layer tree. In these cases it is necessary to call setTheme() with an empty string to clear the theme association and allow map updates with setLayers(), setLayerStyleOverrides(), or via QgsLayerTreeMapCanvasBridge.

If an empty string is passed then the current theme association will be cleared.

◆ snappingUtils()

QgsSnappingUtils * QgsMapCanvas::snappingUtils ( ) const

Returns snapping utility class that is associated with map canvas.

If no snapping utils instance has been associated previously, an internal will be created for convenience (so map tools do not need to test for existence of the instance).

Main canvas in QGIS returns an instance which is always up-to-date with the project's snapping configuration.
