Detailed Description

Stores metadata about one renderer class.

Note
It's necessary to implement createRenderer() function. In C++ you can use QgsRendererMetadata convenience class.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ LayerType

Layer types the renderer is compatible with.

Since
QGIS 2.16
Enumerator
PointLayer 

Compatible with point layers.

LineLayer 

Compatible with line layers.

PolygonLayer 

Compatible with polygon layers.

All 

Compatible with all vector layers.

Definition at line 49 of file qgsrendererregistry.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsRendererAbstractMetadata()

QgsRendererAbstractMetadata::QgsRendererAbstractMetadata ( const QString &  name,
const QString &  visibleName,
const QIcon &  icon = QIcon() 
)
inline

Constructor for QgsRendererAbstractMetadata, with the specified name.

The visibleName argument gives a translated, user friendly string identifying the renderer type.

The icon argument can be used to specify an icon representing the renderer.

Definition at line 65 of file qgsrendererregistry.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ compatibleLayerTypes()

virtual QgsRendererAbstractMetadata::LayerTypes QgsRendererAbstractMetadata::compatibleLayerTypes ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Returns flags indicating the types of layer the renderer is compatible with.

Since
QGIS 2.16

Reimplemented in QgsRendererMetadata.

Definition at line 100 of file qgsrendererregistry.h.

◆ createRenderer()

virtual QgsFeatureRenderer * QgsRendererAbstractMetadata::createRenderer ( QDomElement &  elem,
const QgsReadWriteContext context 
)
pure virtual

Returns new instance of the renderer given the DOM element.

Returns nullptr on error. Pure virtual function: must be implemented in derived classes.

Implemented in QgsRendererMetadata.

◆ createRendererFromSld()

virtual QgsFeatureRenderer * QgsRendererAbstractMetadata::createRendererFromSld ( QDomElement &  elem,
Qgis::GeometryType  geomType 
)
inlinevirtual

Returns a new instance of the renderer, converted from an SLD XML element.

Reimplemented in QgsRendererMetadata.

Definition at line 121 of file qgsrendererregistry.h.

◆ createRendererWidget()

virtual QgsRendererWidget * QgsRendererAbstractMetadata::createRendererWidget ( QgsVectorLayer layer,
QgsStyle style,
QgsFeatureRenderer oldRenderer 
)
inlinevirtual

Returns new instance of settings widget for the renderer.

Returns nullptr on error.

The oldRenderer argument may refer to previously used renderer (or it is nullptr). If not nullptr, it may be used to initialize GUI of the widget from the previous settings. The old renderer does not have to be of the same type as returned by createRenderer().

Reimplemented in QgsRendererMetadata.

Definition at line 115 of file qgsrendererregistry.h.

◆ icon()

QIcon QgsRendererAbstractMetadata::icon ( ) const
inline

Returns an icon representing the renderer.

See also
setIcon()

Definition at line 88 of file qgsrendererregistry.h.

◆ name()

QString QgsRendererAbstractMetadata::name ( ) const
inline

Returns the unique name of the renderer.

This value is not translated.

See also
visibleName()

Definition at line 76 of file qgsrendererregistry.h.

◆ setIcon()

void QgsRendererAbstractMetadata::setIcon ( const QIcon &  icon)
inline

Sets an icon representing the renderer.

See also
icon()

Definition at line 94 of file qgsrendererregistry.h.

◆ visibleName()

QString QgsRendererAbstractMetadata::visibleName ( ) const
inline

Returns a friendly display name of the renderer.

This value is translated.

See also
name()

Definition at line 82 of file qgsrendererregistry.h.
