Detailed Description

The QgsLayerTreeView class extends QTreeView and provides some additional functionality when working with a layer tree.

The view updates expanded state of layer tree nodes and also listens to changes to expanded states in the layer tree.

The view keeps track of the current layer and emits a signal when the current layer has changed.

Allows the client to specify a context menu provider with custom actions. Also it comes with a set of default actions that can be used when building context menu.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addIndicator()

void QgsLayerTreeView::addIndicator ( QgsLayerTreeNode node,
QgsLayerTreeViewIndicator indicator 
)

Adds an indicator to the given layer tree node.

Indicators are icons shown next to layer/group names in the layer tree view. They can be used to show extra information with tree nodes and they allow user interaction.

Does not take ownership of the indicator. One indicator object may be used for multiple layer tree nodes.
