Detailed Description

A map layer which consists of a set of child layers, where all component layers are rendered as a single flattened object during map renders.

Child layers are never owned by QgsGroupLayer. References to layers in a group are stored as weak references only, which wills be automatically cleaned up whenever the linked child layer is deleted.

Since: QGIS 3.24

◆ QgsGroupLayer()

QgsGroupLayer::QgsGroupLayer	(	const QString &	name,
		const QgsGroupLayer::LayerOptions &	options
	)

Member Function Documentation

◆ childLayers()

QList< QgsMapLayer * > QgsGroupLayer::childLayers ( ) const

Returns the child layers contained by the group.

See also: setChildLayers()

Definition at line 289 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ clone()

QgsGroupLayer * QgsGroupLayer::clone ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns a new instance equivalent to this one except for the id which is still unique.

Returns: a new layer instance

Since: QGIS 3.0

Implements QgsMapLayer.

Definition at line 53 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ createMapRenderer()

QgsMapLayerRenderer * QgsGroupLayer::createMapRenderer ( QgsRenderContext & rendererContext )

overridevirtual

Returns new instance of QgsMapLayerRenderer that will be used for rendering of given context.

Since: QGIS 2.4

Implements QgsMapLayer.

Definition at line 63 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ dataProvider() [1/2]

const QgsDataProvider* QgsGroupLayer::dataProvider ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the layer's data provider in a const-correct manner, it may be nullptr.

Note: not available in Python bindings

Reimplemented from QgsMapLayer.

◆ dataProvider() [2/2]

const QgsDataProvider * QgsGroupLayer::dataProvider ( )

overridevirtual

Returns the layer's data provider, it may be nullptr.

Reimplemented from QgsMapLayer.

Definition at line 210 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ extent()

QgsRectangle QgsGroupLayer::extent ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the extent of the layer.

Reimplemented from QgsMapLayer.

Definition at line 68 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ htmlMetadata()

QString QgsGroupLayer::htmlMetadata ( ) const

overridevirtual

Obtain a formatted HTML string containing assorted metadata for this layer.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Reimplemented from QgsMapLayer.

Definition at line 220 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ paintEffect()

QgsPaintEffect * QgsGroupLayer::paintEffect ( ) const

Returns the current paint effect for the group layer.

See also: setPaintEffect()

Definition at line 294 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ readSymbology()

bool QgsGroupLayer::readSymbology	(	const QDomNode &	node,
		QString &	errorMessage,
		QgsReadWriteContext &	context,
		StyleCategories	categories = `AllStyleCategories`
	)

overridevirtual

Read the symbology for the current layer from the DOM node supplied.

Parameters

node	node that will contain the symbology definition for this layer.
errorMessage	reference to string that will be updated with any error messages
context	reading context (used for transform from relative to absolute paths)
categories	the style categories to be read

Returns: true in case of success.

Implements QgsMapLayer.

Definition at line 171 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ readXml()

bool QgsGroupLayer::readXml	(	const QDomNode &	layer_node,
		QgsReadWriteContext &	context
	)

overridevirtual

Called by readLayerXML(), used by children to read state specific to them from project files.

Reimplemented from QgsMapLayer.

Definition at line 82 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ resolveReferences()

void QgsGroupLayer::resolveReferences ( QgsProject * project )

overridevirtual

Resolve references to other layers (kept as layer IDs after reading XML) into layer objects.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Reimplemented from QgsMapLayer.

Definition at line 234 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ setChildLayers()

void QgsGroupLayer::setChildLayers ( const QList< QgsMapLayer * > & layers )

Sets the child layers contained by the group.

This method does not take ownership of the layers, but rather assigns them to the group. Layers should be already added to the parent QgsProject wherever appropriate.

See also: childLayers()

Definition at line 256 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ setPaintEffect()

void QgsGroupLayer::setPaintEffect ( QgsPaintEffect * effect )

Sets the current paint effect for the renderer.

Ownership is transferred to the renderer.

See also: paintEffect()

Definition at line 299 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ setTransformContext()

void QgsGroupLayer::setTransformContext ( const QgsCoordinateTransformContext & transformContext )

overridevirtual

Sets the coordinate transform context to transformContext.

Since: QGIS 3.8

Implements QgsMapLayer.

Definition at line 73 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ writeSymbology()

bool QgsGroupLayer::writeSymbology	(	QDomNode &	node,
		QDomDocument &	doc,
		QString &	errorMessage,
		const QgsReadWriteContext &	context,
		StyleCategories	categories = `AllStyleCategories`
	)		const

overridevirtual

Write the style for the layer into the document provided.

Parameters

node	the node that will have the style element added to it.
doc	the document that will have the QDomNode added.
errorMessage	reference to string that will be updated with any error messages
context	writing context (used for transform from absolute to relative paths)
categories	the style categories to be written

Note: There is a confusion of terms with the GUI. This method actually writes what is called a style in the application.

Returns: true in case of success.

Implements QgsMapLayer.

Definition at line 141 of file qgsgrouplayer.cpp.

◆ writeXml()

bool QgsGroupLayer::writeXml	(	QDomNode &	layer_node,
		QDomDocument &	document,
		const QgsReadWriteContext &	context
	)		const

overridevirtual

Called by writeLayerXML(), used by children to write state specific to them to project files.

Reimplemented from QgsMapLayer.
