Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsLayoutItem()

QgsLayoutItem::QgsLayoutItem	(	QgsLayout *	layout,
		bool	manageZValue = `true`
	)

explicit

Constructor for QgsLayoutItem, with the specified parent layout.

If manageZValue is true, the z-Value of this item will be managed by the layout. Generally this is the desired behavior.

Definition at line 48 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

◆ ~QgsLayoutItem()

QgsLayoutItem::~QgsLayoutItem ( )

override

Definition at line 95 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ accept()

bool QgsLayoutItem::accept ( QgsStyleEntityVisitorInterface * visitor ) const

virtual

Accepts the specified style entity visitor, causing it to visit all style entities associated with the layout item.

Returns true if the visitor should continue visiting other objects, or false if visiting should be canceled.

Since: QGIS 3.10

Reimplemented in QgsLayoutItemLegend, QgsLayoutItemMap, QgsLayoutItemMarker, QgsLayoutItemPage, QgsLayoutItemPolygon, QgsLayoutItemPolyline, QgsLayoutItemScaleBar, and QgsLayoutItemShape.

Definition at line 1172 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

◆ adjustPointForReferencePosition()

QPointF QgsLayoutItem::adjustPointForReferencePosition	(	QPointF	point,
		QSizeF	size,
		ReferencePoint	reference
	)		const

protected

Adjusts the specified point at which a reference position of the item sits and returns the top left corner of the item, if reference point were placed at the specified position.

Definition at line 1312 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

◆ applyDataDefinedSize()

QgsLayoutSize QgsLayoutItem::applyDataDefinedSize ( const QgsLayoutSize & size )

protected

Applies any present data defined size overrides to the specified layout size.

Definition at line 1038 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

◆ applyItemSizeConstraint()

QSizeF QgsLayoutItem::applyItemSizeConstraint ( QSizeF targetSize )

protectedvirtual

Applies any item-specific size constraint handling to a given targetSize in layout units.

Subclasses can override this method if they need to apply advanced logic regarding item sizes, which cannot be covered by setFixedSize() or setMinimumSize(). Item size constraints are applied after fixed, minimum and data defined size constraints.

See also: setFixedSize(); setMinimumSize()

Reimplemented in QgsLayoutItemPicture.

Definition at line 1270 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

◆ attemptMove()

void QgsLayoutItem::attemptMove	(	const QgsLayoutPoint &	point,
		bool	useReferencePoint = `true`,
		bool	includesFrame = `false`,
		int	page = `-1`
	)

virtual

Attempts to move the item to a specified point.

If useReferencePoint is true, this method will respect the item's reference point, in that the item will be moved so that its current reference point is placed at the specified target point.

If useReferencePoint is false, the item will be moved so that point falls at the top-left corner of the item.

If includesFrame is true, then the position specified by point represents the point at which to place the outside of the item's frame.

If page is not left at the default -1 value, then the position specified by point refers to the relative position on the corresponding layout page (where a page of 0 represents the first page).

Note that the final position of the item may not match the specified target position, as data defined item position may override the specified value.

◆ setMinimumSize()

void QgsLayoutItem::setMinimumSize ( const QgsLayoutSize & size )

protectedvirtual

Sets the minimum allowed size for the layout item.

Set an empty size if item can be freely resized.

See also: minimumSize(); setFixedSize()

Definition at line 1264 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

◆ setMoveContentPreviewOffset()

void QgsLayoutItem::setMoveContentPreviewOffset	(	double	dx,
		double	dy
	)

virtual

Sets temporary offset for the item, by a specified dx and dy in layout units.

This is useful for live updates when moving item content in a QgsLayoutView. The default implementation has no effect.

See also: moveContent()

Reimplemented in QgsLayoutItemMap.

Definition at line 964 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

◆ setParentGroup()

void QgsLayoutItem::setParentGroup ( QgsLayoutItemGroup * group )

Sets the item's parent group.

See also: isGroupMember(); parentGroup()

Definition at line 244 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

◆ setReferencePoint()

void QgsLayoutItem::setReferencePoint ( const QgsLayoutItem::ReferencePoint point )

Sets the reference point for positioning of the layout item.

This point is also fixed during resizing of the item, and any size changes will be performed so that the position of the reference point within the layout remains unchanged.

See also: referencePoint()

Definition at line 421 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

◆ setSelected()

void QgsLayoutItem::setSelected ( bool selected )

virtual

Sets whether the item should be selected.

Definition at line 166 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

◆ setVisibility()

void QgsLayoutItem::setVisibility ( bool visible )

virtual

Sets whether the item is visible.

Note: QGraphicsItem::setVisible should not be called directly on a QgsLayoutItem, as some item types (e.g., groups) need to override the visibility toggle.

Reimplemented in QgsLayoutItemGroup.

Definition at line 176 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

◆ shouldDrawItem()

bool QgsLayoutItem::shouldDrawItem ( ) const

Returns whether the item should be drawn in the current context.
