Member Function Documentation

combinedExtent()

QgsRectangle QgsMapLayerUtils::combinedExtent ( const QList< QgsMapLayer * > &  layers, const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem &  crs, const QgsCoordinateTransformContext &  transformContext  )

static

Returns the combined extent of a list of layers.

The crs argument specifies the desired coordinate reference system for the combined extent.

Definition at line 30 of file qgsmaplayerutils.cpp.

databaseConnection()

QgsAbstractDatabaseProviderConnection * QgsMapLayerUtils::databaseConnection ( const QgsMapLayer *  layer )

static

Creates and returns the (possibly nullptr) database connection for a layer.

Ownership is transferred to the caller.

Definition at line 92 of file qgsmaplayerutils.cpp.

layerSourceMatchesPath()

bool QgsMapLayerUtils::layerSourceMatchesPath ( const QgsMapLayer *  layer, const QString &  path  )

static

Returns true if the source of the specified layer matches the given path.

This method can be used to test whether a layer is associated with a file path.

Definition at line 117 of file qgsmaplayerutils.cpp.

updateLayerSourcePath()

bool QgsMapLayerUtils::updateLayerSourcePath ( QgsMapLayer *  layer, const QString &  newPath  )

static

Updates a layer's data source, replacing its data source with a path referring to newPath.

Returns true if the layer was updated, or false if the layer was not updated (e.g. it uses a data provider which does not specify paths in a layer URI.
