Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsLineString() [1/6]

QgsLineString::QgsLineString ( )

Constructor for an empty linestring geometry.

Definition at line 45 of file qgslinestring.cpp.

◆ QgsLineString() [2/6]

QgsLineString::QgsLineString ( const QVector< QgsPoint > &  points)

Construct a linestring from a vector of points.

Z and M type will be set based on the type of the first point in the vector.

Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 50 of file qgslinestring.cpp.

◆ QgsLineString() [3/6]

QgsLineString::QgsLineString ( const QVector< QgsPointXY > &  points)

Construct a linestring from list of points.

This constructor is more efficient then calling setPoints() or repeatedly calling addVertex()

Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 158 of file qgslinestring.cpp.

◆ QgsLineString() [4/6]

QgsLineString::QgsLineString ( const QgsLineSegment2D segment)
explicit

Construct a linestring from a single 2d line segment.

Since
QGIS 3.2

Definition at line 170 of file qgslinestring.cpp.

◆ QgsLineString() [5/6]

QgsLineString::QgsLineString ( const QVector< double > &  x,
const QVector< double > &  y,
const QVector< double > &  z = QVector<double>(),
const QVector< double > &  m = QVector<double>(),
bool  is25DType = false 
)

Construct a linestring from arrays of coordinates.

If the z or m arrays are non-empty then the resultant linestring will have z and m types accordingly. This constructor is more efficient then calling setPoints() or repeatedly calling addVertex()

If the z vector is filled, then the geometry type will either be a LineStringZ(M) or LineString25D depending on the is25DType argument. If is25DType is true (and the m vector is unfilled) then the created Linestring will be a LineString25D type. Otherwise, the LineString will be LineStringZ (or LineStringZM) type.

If the sizes of x and y are non-equal then the resultant linestring will be created using the minimum size of these arrays.

◆ removeDuplicateNodes()

bool QgsLineString::removeDuplicateNodes ( double  epsilon = 4 *std::numeric_limits< double >::epsilon(),
bool  useZValues = false 
)
overridevirtual

Removes duplicate nodes from the geometry, wherever removing the nodes does not result in a degenerate geometry.

The epsilon parameter specifies the tolerance for coordinates when determining that vertices are identical.

By default, z values are not considered when detecting duplicate nodes. E.g. two nodes with the same x and y coordinate but different z values will still be considered duplicate and one will be removed. If useZValues is true, then the z values are also tested and nodes with the same x and y but different z will be maintained.

Note that duplicate nodes are not tested between different parts of a multipart geometry. E.g. a multipoint geometry with overlapping points will not be changed by this method.

The function will return true if nodes were removed, or false if no duplicate nodes were found.

◆ snappedToGrid()

QgsLineString * QgsLineString::snappedToGrid ( double  hSpacing,
double  vSpacing,
double  dSpacing = 0,
double  mSpacing = 0 
) const
overridevirtual

Makes a new geometry with all the points or vertices snapped to the closest point of the grid.

Ownership is transferred to the caller.

If the gridified geometry could not be calculated nullptr will be returned. It may generate an invalid geometry (in some corner cases). It can also be thought as rounding the edges and it may be useful for removing errors.

Example:

geometry.snappedToGrid(1, 1)

In this case we use a 2D grid of 1x1 to gridify. In this case, it can be thought like rounding the x and y of all the points/vertices to full units (remove all decimals).

Parameters
hSpacingHorizontal spacing of the grid (x axis). 0 to disable.
vSpacingVertical spacing of the grid (y axis). 0 to disable.
dSpacingDepth spacing of the grid (z axis). 0 (default) to disable.
mSpacingCustom dimension spacing of the grid (m axis). 0 (default) to disable.

Splits the curve at the specified vertex index, returning two curves which represent the portion of the curve up to an including the vertex at index, and the portion of the curve from the vertex at index (inclusive) to the end of the curve.

◆ sumUpArea()

void QgsLineString::sumUpArea ( double &  sum) const
overridevirtual

Calculates the shoelace/triangle formula sum for the points in the linestring.

If the linestring is closed (i.e. a polygon) then the polygon area is equal to the absolute value of the sum. Please note that the sum will be negative if the points are defined in clockwise order. Therefore, if you want to use the sum as an area (as the method name indicates) then you probably should use the absolute value, since otherwise a bug can be introduced (such as the bug fixed for github issue 49578)

◆ transform() [1/3]

void QgsLineString::transform ( const QgsCoordinateTransform ct,

bool  transformZ = false 
)
overridevirtual

Transforms the geometry using a coordinate transform.

Parameters
ctcoordinate transform
dtransformation direction
transformZset to true to also transform z coordinates. This requires that the z coordinates in the geometry represent height relative to the vertical datum of the source CRS (generally ellipsoidal heights) and are expressed in its vertical units (generally meters). If false, then z coordinates will not be changed by the transform.

◆ transform() [3/3]

Transforms the vertices from the geometry in place, using the specified geometry transformer object.

◆ transformVertices()

void QgsLineString::transformVertices ( const std::function< QgsPoint(const QgsPoint &) > &  transform)

Transforms the vertices from the geometry in place, applying the transform function to every vertex.

Depending on the transform used, this may result in an invalid geometry.

Transform functions are not permitted to alter the dimensionality of vertices. If a transform which adds (or removes) z/m values is desired, first call the corresponding addZValue() or addMValue() function to change the geometry's dimensionality and then transform.
