Member Function Documentation

addFeatures()

bool QgsVectorLayerJoinBuffer::addFeatures ( QgsFeatureList &  features, QgsFeatureSink::Flags  flags = QgsFeatureSink::Flags()  )

overridevirtual

Adds a list of features in joined layers.

Features given in parameter are those added in target layer. If a corresponding joined feature yet exists in a joined layer, then this feature is just updated. Note that if a corresponding joined feature has only empty fields, then it's not created nor added.

Parameters

features	The list of features added in the target layer
flags	Unused parameter

Returns

false if an error happened, true otherwise

Since

QGIS 3.0

Implements QgsFeatureSink.

Definition at line 559 of file qgsvectorlayerjoinbuffer.cpp.

addJoin()

bool QgsVectorLayerJoinBuffer::addJoin

(

const QgsVectorLayerJoinInfo &

joinInfo

)

Joins another vector layer to this layer.

Parameters

joinInfo

join object containing join layer id, target and source field

Returns

(since 2.6) whether the join was successfully added

Definition at line 64 of file qgsvectorlayerjoinbuffer.cpp.

changeAttributeValue()

bool QgsVectorLayerJoinBuffer::changeAttributeValue	(	QgsFeatureId	fid,
		int	field,
		const QVariant &	newValue,
		const QVariant &	oldValue = QVariant()
	)

Changes attribute value in joined layers.

The feature id given in parameter is the one added in target layer. If the corresponding joined feature does not exist in a joined layer, then it's automatically created if its fields are not empty.

Parameters

fid	The feature id
field	The field to update
newValue	The new value of the attribute
oldValue	The old value of the attribute

Returns

false if an error happened, true otherwise

Since

QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 646 of file qgsvectorlayerjoinbuffer.cpp.

changeAttributeValues()

bool QgsVectorLayerJoinBuffer::changeAttributeValues	(	QgsFeatureId	fid,
		const QgsAttributeMap &	newValues,
		const QgsAttributeMap &	oldValues = QgsAttributeMap()
	)

Changes attributes' values in joined layers.

The feature id given in parameter is the one added in target layer. If the corresponding joined feature does not exist in a joined layer, then it's automatically created if its fields are not empty.

Parameters

fid	The feature id
newValues	The new values for attributes
oldValues	The old values for attributes

Returns

false if an error happened, true otherwise
