Detailed Description

Class used to render QgsLayout as an atlas, by iterating over the features from an associated vector layer.

QgsLayoutAtlas implement the QgsAbstractLayoutIterator interface, allowing them to be used directly with QgsLayoutExporter to automatically output all pages from the atlas.

For QgsPrintLayout layouts, it is not necessary to manually construct a QgsLayoutAtlas object. Instead, the atlas attached to the print layout should be used. This can be retrieved by calling QgsPrintLayout::atlas().

Since: QGIS 3.0
