Renders a context using a particular symbol layer without passing in a geometry.

This is used as fallback, if the symbol being rendered is not compatible with the specified layer. In such a case, this method can be called and will call the layer's rendering method anyway but the geometry passed to the layer will be empty. This is required for layers that generate their own geometry from other information in the rendering context.

◆ startFeatureRender()

void QgsSymbol::startFeatureRender ( const QgsFeature feature,

Internally, this notifies all symbol layers which will be used via a call to QgsSymbolLayer::startFeatureRender().

Since
QGIS 3.20

Definition at line 1483 of file qgssymbol.cpp.

◆ startRender()

void QgsSymbol::startRender ( QgsRenderContext context,
const QgsFields fields = QgsFields()

Begins the rendering process for the symbol.

This must be called before renderFeature(), and should be followed by a call to stopRender().

Parameters
contextrender context which symbol will be drawn using
fieldsfields for features to be rendered (usually the associated vector layer's fields). Required for correct calculation of data defined overrides.

Internally, this notifies all symbol layers which were used via a call to QgsSymbolLayer::stopFeatureRender().

Since
QGIS 3.20
