Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination()

QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination::QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination ( const QString &  name,
const QString &  description = QString(),
QgsProcessing::SourceType  type = QgsProcessing::TypeVectorAnyGeometry,
const QVariant &  defaultValue = QVariant(),
bool  optional = false,
bool  createByDefault = true 
)

Constructor for QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination.

If createByDefault is false and the parameter is optional, then this destination output will not be created by default.

Member Function Documentation

◆ asPythonString()

QString QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination::asPythonString ( QgsProcessing::PythonOutputType  outputType = QgsProcessing::PythonQgsProcessingAlgorithmSubclass) const
overridevirtual

Returns the parameter definition as a Python command which can be used within a Python Processing script.

The outputType argument specifies the desired output format for the Python string, i.e. the intended end use of the generated Python code.

Since
QGIS 3.6

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingDestinationParameter.

Definition at line 6529 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ asScriptCode()

QString QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination::asScriptCode ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns the parameter definition encoded in a string which can be used within a Processing script.

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 6472 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ checkValueIsAcceptable()

bool QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination::checkValueIsAcceptable ( const QVariant &  input,
QgsProcessingContext context = nullptr 
) const
overridevirtual

Checks whether the specified input value is acceptable for the parameter.

Returns true if the value can be accepted. The optional context parameter can be specified to allow a more stringent check to be performed, capable of checking for the presence of required layers and other factors within the context.
