◆ setTheme()

void QgsMapCanvas::setTheme ( const QString & theme )

Sets a map theme to show in the canvas.

The theme name must match a theme present in the associated project's QgsMapThemeCollection.

When the canvas is associated to a map theme, it will automatically follow the layer selection and layer styles from that theme. Calls to setLayers() or setLayerStyleOverrides() will have no effect, and canvases associated with a QgsLayerTreeMapCanvasBridge will no longer synchronize their state with the layer tree. In these cases it is necessary to call setTheme() with an empty string to clear the theme association and allow map updates with setLayers(), setLayerStyleOverrides(), or via QgsLayerTreeMapCanvasBridge.

If an empty string is passed then the current theme association will be cleared.

◆ zoomToProjectExtent()

void QgsMapCanvas::zoomToProjectExtent ( )

Zoom to the full extent the project associated with this canvas.

This method zooms to the full extent for the project associated with this canvas. Unlike zoomToFullExtent(), this method does NOT consider which layers are actually visible in the map canvas.

Since: QGIS 3.20
