Detailed Description

A cache for images derived from raster files.

QgsImageCache stores pre-rendered resampled versions of raster image files, allowing efficient reuse without incurring the cost of resampling on every render.

QgsImageCache is not usually directly created, but rather accessed through QgsApplication::imageCache().

Since: QGIS 3.6

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsImageCache()

QgsImageCache::QgsImageCache ( QObject * parent = nullptr )

Constructor for QgsImageCache, with the specified parent object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ maximumSize()

long QgsImageCache::maximumSize ( ) const

inline

Returns the maximum size of the cache, in bytes.

Since: QGIS 3.26

Definition at line 150 of file qgsimagecache.h.

◆ nextFrameDelay()

int QgsImageCache::nextFrameDelay	(	const QString &	path,
		int	currentFrame = `0`,
		bool	blocking = `false`
	)

For image formats that support animation, this function returns the number of milliseconds to wait until displaying the next frame in the animation.

If the image format doesn't support animation, 0 is returned.

path may be a local file, remote (HTTP) url, or a base 64 encoded string (with a "base64:" prefix).

If path is a remote file, then -1 may be returned while the image is in the process of being fetched.

The blocking boolean forces to wait for loading before returning the frame delay. The content is loaded in the same thread to ensure provided the original size. WARNING: the blocking parameter must NEVER be true from GUI based applications (like the main QGIS application) or crashes will result. Only for use in external scripts or QGIS server.

If the image could not be read or is not an animated format then -1 is returned.

Since: QGIS 3.26

Definition at line 266 of file qgsimagecache.cpp.

◆ originalSize()

QSize QgsImageCache::originalSize	(	const QString &	path,
		bool	blocking = `false`
	)		const

Returns the original size (in pixels) of the image at the specified path.

path may be a local file, remote (HTTP) url, or a base 64 encoded string (with a "base64:" prefix).

If path is a remote file, then an invalid size may be returned while the image is in the process of being fetched.

The blocking boolean forces to wait for loading before returning the original size. The content is loaded in the same thread to ensure provided the original size. WARNING: the blocking parameter must NEVER be true from GUI based applications (like the main QGIS application) or crashes will result. Only for use in external scripts or QGIS server.

If the image could not be read then an invalid QSize is returned.

Definition at line 208 of file qgsimagecache.cpp.

◆ pathAsImage()

QImage QgsImageCache::pathAsImage	(	const QString &	path,
		const QSize	size,
		const bool	keepAspectRatio,
		const double	opacity,
		bool &	fitsInCache,
		bool	blocking = `false`,
		double	targetDpi = `96`,
		int	frameNumber = `-1`,
		bool *	isMissing = `nullptr`
	)

Returns the specified path rendered as an image.

If possible, a pre-existing cached version of the image will be used. If not, the image is fetched and resampled to the desired size, and then the result cached for subsequent lookups.

Parameters

path	may be a local file, remote (HTTP) url, or a base 64 encoded string (with a "base64:" prefix).
size	dictates the target size of the image. An invalid size indicates the original raster image size (with no resampling). A size in which the width or height is set to zero will have the zeroed value automatically computed when keepAspectRatio is `true`.
keepAspectRatio	if `true` then the original raster aspect ratio will be maintained during any resampling operations.
opacity	dictates the opacity of the image (between 0 and 1).
fitsInCache	will be set to `true` if the resultant raster was of a sufficiently small size to store in the cache
blocking	if `true`, forces to wait for loading before returning image. The content is loaded in the same thread to ensure provided the image. WARNING: the blocking parameter must NEVER be `true` from GUI based applications (like the main QGIS application) or crashes will result. Only for use in external scripts or QGIS server.
targetDpi	(since QGIS 3.22) can be used to specify an explicit DPI to render the image at. This is used for some image formats (e.g. PDF) to ensure that content is rendered at the desired DPI. This argument is only used when an invalid size argument is specified. If a valid size is specified then the image will always be rendered at this size, regardless of the targetDpi.
frameNumber	(since QGIS 3.26) specifies a frame number for image formats which support animations. This should be set to -1 if not required.
isMissing	will be set to `true` if returned image is the "broken" image placeholder

Returns: rendered image

◆ prepareAnimation()

void QgsImageCache::prepareAnimation ( const QString & path )

Prepares for optimized retrieval of frames for the animation at the given path.

Since: QGIS 3.26

Definition at line 288 of file qgsimagecache.cpp.

◆ remoteImageFetched

void QgsImageCache::remoteImageFetched ( const QString & url )

signal

Emitted when the cache has finished retrieving an image file from a remote url.

◆ totalFrameCount()

int QgsImageCache::totalFrameCount	(	const QString &	path,
		bool	blocking = `false`
	)

Returns the total frame count of the image at the specified path.

path may be a local file, remote (HTTP) url, or a base 64 encoded string (with a "base64:" prefix).

If path is a remote file, then -1 may be returned while the image is in the process of being fetched.

The blocking boolean forces to wait for loading before returning the frame count. The content is loaded in the same thread to ensure provided the original size. WARNING: the blocking parameter must NEVER be true from GUI based applications (like the main QGIS application) or crashes will result. Only for use in external scripts or QGIS server.

If the image could not be read or is not an animated format then -1 is returned
