Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ _LayerRef() [1/2]

template<typename TYPE >
_LayerRef< TYPE >::_LayerRef ( TYPE *  l = nullptr)
inline

Constructor for a layer reference from an existing map layer.

The layerId, source, name and provider members will automatically be populated from this layer.

Definition at line 56 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ _LayerRef() [2/2]

template<typename TYPE >
_LayerRef< TYPE >::_LayerRef ( const QString &  id,
const QString &  name = QString(),
const QString &  source = QString(),
const QString &  provider = QString() 
)
inline

Constructor for a weak layer reference, using a combination of layer ID, name, public source and provider key.

Definition at line 68 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ get()

template<typename TYPE >
TYPE * _LayerRef< TYPE >::get ( ) const
inline

Returns a pointer to the layer, or nullptr if the reference has not yet been matched to a layer.

Definition at line 109 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ layerMatchesSource()

template<typename TYPE >
bool _LayerRef< TYPE >::layerMatchesSource ( QgsMapLayer layer) const
inline

Returns true if a layer matches the weak references to layer public source, layer name and data provider contained in this layer reference.

resolveWeakly()

Definition at line 132 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ layerMatchesWeakly()

template<typename TYPE >
bool _LayerRef< TYPE >::layerMatchesWeakly ( QgsMapLayer layer,
MatchType  matchType = MatchType::All 
) const
inline

Definition at line 164 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ operator bool()

template<typename TYPE >
_LayerRef< TYPE >::operator bool ( ) const
inline

Returns true if the layer reference is resolved and contains a reference to an existing map layer.

Definition at line 92 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ operator->()

template<typename TYPE >
TYPE * _LayerRef< TYPE >::operator-> ( ) const
inline

Forwards the to map layer.

Definition at line 100 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ readXml()

template<typename TYPE >
bool _LayerRef< TYPE >::readXml ( const QDomElement &  element,
const QgsReadWriteContext context 
)
inline

Reads the layer's properties from an XML element.

writeXml()
Since
QGIS 3.30

Definition at line 299 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ resolve()

template<typename TYPE >
TYPE * _LayerRef< TYPE >::resolve ( const QgsProject project)
inline

Resolves the map layer by attempting to find a layer with matching ID within a project.

If found, this reference will be updated to match the found layer and the layer will be returned. If no matching layer is found, nullptr is returned.

See also
resolveWeakly()

Definition at line 151 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ resolveByIdOrNameOnly()

template<typename TYPE >
TYPE * _LayerRef< TYPE >::resolveByIdOrNameOnly ( const QgsProject project)
inline

Resolves the map layer by attempting to find a matching layer in a project using a weak match.

First, the layer is attempted to match to project layers using the layer's ID (calling this method implicitly calls resolve()).

Failing a match by layer ID, the layer will be matched by using the weak references to layer public source, layer name and data provider contained in this layer reference.

Failing a match by weak reference, the layer will be matched by using the name only.

If a matching layer is found, this reference will be updated to match the found layer and the layer will be returned. If no matching layer is found, nullptr is returned.

◆ resolveWeakly()

template<typename TYPE >
TYPE * _LayerRef< TYPE >::resolveWeakly ( const QgsProject project,
MatchType  matchType = MatchType::All 
)
inline

Resolves the map layer by attempting to find a matching layer in a project using a weak match.

First, the layer is attempted to match to project layers using the layer's ID (calling this method implicitly calls resolve()).

Failing a match by layer ID, the layer will be matched by using the weak references to layer public source, layer name and data provider contained in this layer reference.

The matchType enum can used to refine the matching criteria when using the weak reference and include layer name, provider name and layer source in the equality test, by default they are all checked.

If a matching layer is found, this reference will be updated to match the found layer and the layer will be returned. If no matching layer is found, nullptr is returned.

◆ setLayer()

template<typename TYPE >
void _LayerRef< TYPE >::setLayer ( TYPE *  l)
inline

Sets the reference to point to a specified layer.

Definition at line 79 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ writeXml()

template<typename TYPE >
void _LayerRef< TYPE >::writeXml ( QDomElement &  element,
const QgsReadWriteContext context

Writes the layer's properties to a XML element.
