Detailed Description

A marker symbol type, for rendering Point and MultiPoint geometries.

Definition at line 30 of file qgsmarkersymbol.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsMarkerSymbol()

QgsMarkerSymbol::QgsMarkerSymbol ( const QgsSymbolLayerList layers = QgsSymbolLayerList())

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

Ownership of the layers are transferred to the symbol.

Definition at line 33 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ angle()

double QgsMarkerSymbol::angle ( ) const

Returns the marker angle for the whole symbol.

Note that for symbols with multiple symbol layers, this will correspond just to the angle of the first symbol layer.

See also
setAngle()
Since
QGIS 2.16

Definition at line 53 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

◆ bounds()

QRectF QgsMarkerSymbol::bounds ( QPointF  point,
QgsRenderContext context,
const QgsFeature feature = QgsFeature() 
) const

Returns the approximate bounding box of the marker symbol, which includes the bounding box of all symbol layers for the symbol.

It is recommended to use this method only between startRender() and stopRender() calls, or data defined rotation and offset will not be correctly calculated.

Parameters
pointlocation of rendered point in painter units
contextrender context
featurefeature being rendered at point (optional). If not specified, the bounds calculation will not include data defined parameters such as offset and rotation
Returns
approximate symbol bounds, in painter units
Since
QGIS 2.14

Definition at line 499 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

◆ clone()

QgsMarkerSymbol * QgsMarkerSymbol::clone ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns a deep copy of this symbol.

Ownership is transferred to the caller.

Implements QgsSymbol.

Definition at line 523 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

◆ createSimple()

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

Create a marker symbol with one symbol layer: SimpleMarker with specified properties.

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

Definition at line 22 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

◆ dataDefinedAngle()

QgsProperty QgsMarkerSymbol::dataDefinedAngle ( ) const

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

Returns
data defined angle, or invalid property if angle is not set at the marker level.
See also
setDataDefinedAngle()
Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 106 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

◆ dataDefinedSize()

QgsProperty QgsMarkerSymbol::dataDefinedSize ( ) const

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

Returns
data defined size, or invalid property if size is not set at the marker level.

Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 343 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

◆ renderPoint()

void QgsMarkerSymbol::renderPoint ( QPointF  point,
const QgsFeature f,
QgsRenderContext context,
int  layer = -1,
bool  selected = false 
)

Renders the symbol at the specified point, 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 447 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

◆ scaleMethod()

Qgis::ScaleMethod QgsMarkerSymbol::scaleMethod ( ) const

Returns the method to use for scaling the marker's size.

See also
setScaleMethod()

Definition at line 411 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

◆ setAngle()

void QgsMarkerSymbol::setAngle ( double  symbolAngle) const

Sets the angle for the whole symbol.

Individual symbol layer sizes will be rotated to maintain their current relative angle to the whole symbol angle.

Parameters
symbolAnglenew symbol angle
See also
angle()

Definition at line 40 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

◆ setDataDefinedAngle()

void QgsMarkerSymbol::setDataDefinedAngle ( const QgsProperty property)

Definition at line 306 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

◆ setLineAngle()

void QgsMarkerSymbol::setLineAngle ( double  lineAngle) const

Sets the line angle modification for the symbol's angle.

This angle is added to the marker's rotation and data defined rotation before rendering the symbol, and is usually used for orienting symbols to match a line's angle.

Parameters
lineAngleAngle in degrees, valid values are between 0 and 360
Since
QGIS 2.9

Definition at line 65 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

double QgsMarkerSymbol::size ( ) const

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