Detailed Description

Base class for all parameter definitions which represent file or layer destinations, e.g.

parameters which are used for the destination for layers output by an algorithm.

Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 3151 of file qgsprocessingparameters.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsProcessingDestinationParameter()

QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::QgsProcessingDestinationParameter ( const QString &  name,
const QString &  description = QString(),
const QVariant &  defaultValue = QVariant(),
bool  optional = false,
bool  createByDefault = true 
)

Constructor for QgsProcessingDestinationParameter.

If createByDefault is false and the parameter is optional, then the destination output will not be created by default.

Definition at line 6807 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ asPythonString()

QString QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::asPythonString ( QgsProcessing::PythonOutputType  outputType = QgsProcessing::PythonQgsProcessingAlgorithmSubclass) const
overridevirtual

Returns the parameter definition as a Python command which can be used within a Python Processing script.

The outputType argument specifies the desired output format for the Python string, i.e. the intended end use of the generated Python code.

Since
QGIS 3.6

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Reimplemented in QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink, QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination, and QgsProcessingParameterFileDestination.

Definition at line 6830 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ createByDefault()

bool QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::createByDefault ( ) const

Returns true if the destination should be created by default.

For optional parameters, a return value of false indicates that the destination should not be created by default.

See also
setCreateByDefault()

Definition at line 6890 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ createFileFilter()

QString QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::createFileFilter ( ) const
overridevirtual

This method needs to be reimplemented in all classes which implement this interface and return a file filter.

Implements QgsFileFilterGenerator.

Reimplemented in QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink, QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination, QgsProcessingParameterRasterDestination, QgsProcessingParameterFileDestination, and QgsProcessingParameterPointCloudDestination.

Definition at line 6857 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ defaultFileExtension()

virtual QString QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::defaultFileExtension ( ) const
pure virtual

◆ fromVariantMap()

bool QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::fromVariantMap ( const QVariantMap &  map)
overridevirtual

Restores this parameter to a QVariantMap.

Subclasses should ensure that they call the base class method.

See also
toVariantMap()

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Reimplemented in QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink, QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination, and QgsProcessingParameterFileDestination.

Definition at line 6822 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ generateTemporaryDestination()

QString QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::generateTemporaryDestination ( ) const
virtual

Generates a temporary destination value for this parameter.

The returned value will be a file path or QGIS data provider URI suitable for temporary storage of created layers and files.

Reimplemented in QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink.

Definition at line 6862 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ isDestination()

bool QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::isDestination ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Returns true if this parameter represents a file or layer destination, e.g.

parameters which are used for the destination for layers output by an algorithm will return true.

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3164 of file qgsprocessingparameters.h.

◆ isSupportedOutputValue()

bool QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::isSupportedOutputValue ( const QVariant &  value,
QgsProcessingContext context,
QString &  error 
) const
virtual

Tests whether a value is a supported value for this parameter.

Will return false when a value with an unsupported file extension is specified. The default implementation calls QgsProcessingProvider::isSupportedOutputValue() to test compatibility.

Parameters
valuevalue to test
contextProcessing context
errorwill be set to a descriptive error string
Returns
true if value is supported.
Since
QGIS 3.14

Definition at line 6880 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ originalProvider()

QgsProcessingProvider * QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::originalProvider ( ) const
inlineprotected

Original (source) provider which this parameter has been derived from.

In the case of destination parameters which are part of model algorithms, this will reflect the child algorithm's provider which actually generates the parameter, as opposed to the provider which this parameter belongs to (i.e. the model provider)

Since
QGIS 3.2

Definition at line 3243 of file qgsprocessingparameters.h.

◆ setCreateByDefault()

void QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::setCreateByDefault ( bool  createByDefault)

Sets whether the destination should be created by default.

For optional parameters, a value of false indicates that the destination should not be created by default.

See also
createByDefault()

Definition at line 6895 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ setSupportsNonFileBasedOutput()

void QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::setSupportsNonFileBasedOutput ( bool  supportsNonFileBasedOutput)
inline

Sets whether the destination parameter supports non filed-based outputs, such as memory layers or direct database outputs.

See also
supportsNonFileBasedOutput()

Definition at line 3188 of file qgsprocessingparameters.h.

◆ supportsNonFileBasedOutput()

bool QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::supportsNonFileBasedOutput ( ) const
inline

Returns true if the destination parameter supports non filed-based outputs, such as memory layers or direct database outputs.

See also
setSupportsNonFileBasedOutput()

Definition at line 3181 of file qgsprocessingparameters.h.

◆ toOutputDefinition()

virtual QgsProcessingOutputDefinition * QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::toOutputDefinition ( ) const
pure virtual

◆ toVariantMap()

QVariantMap QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::toVariantMap ( ) const
overridevirtual

Saves this parameter to a QVariantMap.

Subclasses should ensure that they call the base class method and then extend the result with additional properties.

See also
fromVariantMap()

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Reimplemented in QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink, QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination, and QgsProcessingParameterFileDestination.
