Detailed Description

A line symbol type, for rendering LineString and MultiLineString geometries.

Definition at line 29 of file qgslinesymbol.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsLineSymbol()

QgsLineSymbol::QgsLineSymbol ( const QgsSymbolLayerList layers = QgsSymbolLayerList())

Constructor for QgsLineSymbol, with the specified list of initial symbol layers.

Ownership of the layers are transferred to the symbol.

Definition at line 33 of file qgslinesymbol.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

QgsLineSymbol * QgsLineSymbol::clone ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns a deep copy of this symbol.

Ownership is transferred to the caller.

Implements QgsSymbol.

Definition at line 303 of file qgslinesymbol.cpp.

◆ createSimple()

QgsLineSymbol * QgsLineSymbol::createSimple ( const QVariantMap &  properties)
static

Create a line symbol with one symbol layer: SimpleLine with specified properties.

This is a convenience method for easier creation of line symbols.

Definition at line 22 of file qgslinesymbol.cpp.

◆ dataDefinedWidth()

QgsProperty QgsLineSymbol::dataDefinedWidth ( ) const

Returns data defined width for whole symbol (including all symbol layers).

Returns
data defined width, or invalid property if size is not set at the line level. Caller takes responsibility for deleting the returned object.
See also
setDataDefinedWidth
Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 178 of file qgslinesymbol.cpp.

◆ renderPolyline()

void QgsLineSymbol::renderPolyline ( const QPolygonF &  points,
const QgsFeature f,
QgsRenderContext context,
int  layer = -1,
bool  selected = false 
)

Renders the symbol along the line joining points, using the given render context.

The f argument is used to pass the feature currently being rendered (when available).

If only a single symbol layer from the symbol should be rendered, it should be specified in the layer argument. A layer of -1 indicates that all symbol layers should be rendered.

If selected is true then the symbol will be drawn using the "selected feature" style and colors instead of the symbol's normal style.

Definition at line 232 of file qgslinesymbol.cpp.

◆ setDataDefinedWidth()

void QgsLineSymbol::setDataDefinedWidth ( const QgsProperty property) const

Set data defined width for whole symbol (including all symbol layers).

See also
dataDefinedWidth()
Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 142 of file qgslinesymbol.cpp.

◆ setWidth()

void QgsLineSymbol::setWidth ( double  width) const

Sets the width for the whole line symbol.

Individual symbol layer sizes will be scaled to maintain their current relative size to the whole symbol size.

See also
width()

Definition at line 40 of file qgslinesymbol.cpp.

◆ setWidthUnit()

void QgsLineSymbol::setWidthUnit ( QgsUnitTypes::RenderUnit  unit) const

Sets the width units for the whole symbol (including all symbol layers).

Parameters
unitsize units
Since
QGIS 3.16

Definition at line 83 of file qgslinesymbol.cpp.

◆ width() [1/2]

double QgsLineSymbol::width ( ) const

Returns the estimated width for the whole symbol, which is the maximum width of all marker symbol layers in the symbol.

Warning
This returned value is inaccurate if the symbol consists of multiple symbol layers with different width units. Use the overload accepting a QgsRenderContext argument instead for accurate sizes in this case.
See also
setWidth()

Definition at line 96 of file qgslinesymbol.cpp.

◆ width() [2/2]

double QgsLineSymbol::width ( const QgsRenderContext context) const

Returns the symbol width, in painter units.

This is the maximum width of all marker symbol layers in the symbol.

This method returns an accurate width by calculating the actual rendered width of each symbol layer using the provided render context.

setWidth()
Since
QGIS 3.4.5

Definition at line 127 of file qgslinesymbol.cpp.
