Detailed Description

The QgsLegendRenderer class handles automatic layout and rendering of legend.

The content is given by QgsLayerTreeModel instance. Various layout properties can be configured within QgsLegendRenderer.

All spacing and sizes are in millimeters.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsLegendRenderer()

QgsLegendRenderer::QgsLegendRenderer	(	QgsLayerTreeModel *	legendModel,
		const QgsLegendSettings &	settings
	)

Constructor for QgsLegendRenderer.

The ownership of the legend model is not changed, and the model must exist for the lifetime of this renderer.

Member Function Documentation

◆ drawLegend() [1/2]

void QgsLegendRenderer::drawLegend ( QgsRenderContext & context )

Draws the legend using a given render context.

The legend will occupy the area reported in legendSize().

Since: QGIS 3.6

Definition at line 1068 of file qgslegendrenderer.cpp.

◆ drawLegend() [2/2]

void QgsLegendRenderer::drawLegend ( QPainter * painter )

Draws the legend with given painter.

The legend will occupy the area reported in legendSize(). The painter should be scaled beforehand so that units correspond to millimeters.

Deprecated:: Use the variant which accepts a QgsRenderContext instead.

Definition at line 56 of file qgslegendrenderer.cpp.

◆ exportLegendToJson()

QJsonObject QgsLegendRenderer::exportLegendToJson ( const QgsRenderContext & context )

Renders the legend in a json object.

Since: QGIS 3.8

Definition at line 69 of file qgslegendrenderer.cpp.

◆ legendSize()

QSizeF QgsLegendRenderer::legendSize ( ) const

inline

Returns the preferred legend size set by the client.

If the returned size is null, the legend will be drawn with the minimum possible size to fit its content.

See also: minimumSize(); setLegendSize()

Definition at line 81 of file qgslegendrenderer.h.

◆ minimumSize()

QSizeF QgsLegendRenderer::minimumSize ( QgsRenderContext * renderContext = nullptr )

Runs the layout algorithm and returns the minimum size required for the legend.

See also: setLegendSize(); legendSize()

Definition at line 36 of file qgslegendrenderer.cpp.

◆ nodeLegendStyle()

QgsLegendStyle::Style QgsLegendRenderer::nodeLegendStyle	(	QgsLayerTreeNode *	node,
		QgsLayerTreeModel *	model
	)

static

Returns the style for the given node, within the specified model.

See also: setNodeLegendStyle()

Definition at line 1016 of file qgslegendrenderer.cpp.

◆ setLegendSize()

void QgsLegendRenderer::setLegendSize ( QSizeF s )

inline

Sets the preferred resulting legend size.

If the size is null, the legend will be drawn with the minimum possible size to fit its content.

See also: legendSize(); minimumSize()

Definition at line 71 of file qgslegendrenderer.h.

◆ setNodeLegendStyle()

void QgsLegendRenderer::setNodeLegendStyle	(	QgsLayerTreeNode *	node,
		QgsLegendStyle::Style	style
