Member Function Documentation

◆ asPythonString()

QString QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::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.

Definition at line 4314 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ asScriptCode()

QString QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::asScriptCode ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the parameter definition encoded in a string which can be used within a Processing script.

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 4273 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ checkValueIsAcceptable()

bool QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::checkValueIsAcceptable	(	const QVariant &	input,
		QgsProcessingContext *	context = `nullptr`
	)		const

overridevirtual

Checks whether the specified input value is acceptable for the parameter.

Returns true if the value can be accepted. The optional context parameter can be specified to allow a more stringent check to be performed, capable of checking for the presence of required layers and other factors within the context.

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 4136 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ clone()

QgsProcessingParameterDefinition * QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::clone ( ) const

overridevirtual

Creates a clone of the parameter definition.

Implements QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 4131 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ createFileFilter()

QString QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::createFileFilter ( ) const

overridevirtual

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

QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers * QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::fromScriptCode	(	const QString &	name,
		const QString &	description,
		bool	isOptional,
		const QString &	definition
	)

static

Creates a new parameter using the definition from a script code.

Definition at line 4405 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ fromVariantMap()

bool QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::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.

Definition at line 4397 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ layerType()

QgsProcessing::SourceType QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::layerType ( ) const

Definition at line 4368 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ minimumNumberInputs()

int QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::minimumNumberInputs ( ) const

Returns the minimum number of layers required for the parameter.

If the return value is < 1 then the parameter accepts any number of layers.

See also: setMinimumNumberInputs()

Definition at line 4378 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ setLayerType()

void QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::setLayerType ( QgsProcessing::SourceType type )

Definition at line 4373 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ setMinimumNumberInputs()

void QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::setMinimumNumberInputs ( int minimum )

Sets the minimum number of layers required for the parameter.

The minimum must be >= 1 if the parameter is not optional.

See also: minimumNumberInputs()

Definition at line 4383 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ toVariantMap()

QVariantMap QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::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.

Definition at line 4389 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ type()

QString QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::type ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Unique parameter type name.

Implements QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 2155 of file qgsprocessingparameters.h.

◆ typeName()

static QString QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::typeName ( )

inlinestatic

Returns the type name for the parameter class.

Definition at line 2153 of file qgsprocessingparameters.h.

◆ valueAsJsonObject()

QVariant QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::valueAsJsonObject	(	const QVariant &	value,
		QgsProcessingContext &	context
	)		const

overridevirtual

Returns a version of the parameter input value, which is suitable for use in a JSON object.

This method must return only simple values which can be losslessly encapsulated in a serialized JSON map. For instance, any QGIS class values (such as QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem) must be converted to a simple string or numeric value equivalent.

Since: QGIS 3.24

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 4268 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ valueAsPythonString()

QString QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers::valueAsPythonString	(	const QVariant &	value,
		QgsProcessingContext &	context
	)		const

overridevirtual

Returns a string version of the parameter input value, which is suitable for use as an input parameter value when running an algorithm directly from a Python command.
