Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsVectorLayerTemporalProperties()

QgsVectorLayerTemporalProperties::QgsVectorLayerTemporalProperties	(	QObject *	parent = `nullptr`,
		bool	enabled = `false`
	)

Constructor for QgsVectorLayerTemporalProperties, with the specified parent object.

The enabled argument specifies whether the temporal properties are initially enabled or not (see isActive()).

Definition at line 26 of file qgsvectorlayertemporalproperties.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ accumulateFeatures()

bool QgsVectorLayerTemporalProperties::accumulateFeatures ( ) const

Returns true if features will be accumulated over time (i.e.

all features which occur before or within the map's temporal range should be rendered).

Warning: This setting is only effective when mode() is QgsVectorLayerTemporalProperties::ModeFeatureDateTimeInstantFromField

See also: setAccumulateFeatures()

Definition at line 376 of file qgsvectorlayertemporalproperties.cpp.

◆ calculateTemporalExtent()

QgsDateTimeRange QgsVectorLayerTemporalProperties::calculateTemporalExtent ( QgsMapLayer * layer ) const

overridevirtual

Attempts to calculate the overall temporal extent for the specified layer, using the settings defined by the temporal properties object.

May return an infinite range if the extent could not be calculated.

Note: Not available in Python bindings

Reimplemented from QgsMapLayerTemporalProperties.

Definition at line 51 of file qgsvectorlayertemporalproperties.cpp.

◆ createFilterString()

QString QgsVectorLayerTemporalProperties::createFilterString	(	const QgsVectorLayerTemporalContext &	context,

Creates a QGIS expression filter string for filtering features within the specified context to those within the specified time range.

The returned expression string considers the mode() and other related settings (such as startField()) when building the filter string.

Warning: Note that ModeFixedTemporalRange is intentional NOT handled by this method and if mode() is ModeFixedTemporalRange then an empty string will be returned. Use isVisibleInTemporalRange() when testing whether features from a layer set to the ModeFixedTemporalRange should ALL be filtered out.
