Member Function Documentation

◆ calculate()

double QgsScaleCalculator::calculate ( const QgsRectangle mapExtent,
double  canvasWidth 
) const

Calculate the scale denominator.

Parameters
mapExtentQgsRectangle containing the current map extent. Units are specified by mapUnits().
canvasWidthWidth of the map canvas in pixel (physical) units
Returns
scale denominator of current map view, e.g. 1000.0 for a 1:1000 map.

Definition at line 52 of file qgsscalecalculator.cpp.

◆ calculateGeographicDistance()

double QgsScaleCalculator::calculateGeographicDistance ( const QgsRectangle mapExtent) const

Calculate the distance between two points in geographic coordinates.

Used to calculate scale for map views with geographic (decimal degree) data.

Parameters
mapExtentQgsRectangle containing the current map extent

Definition at line 124 of file qgsscalecalculator.cpp.

◆ calculateImageSize()

QSizeF QgsScaleCalculator::calculateImageSize ( const QgsRectangle mapExtent,
double  scale 
) const

Calculate the image size in pixel (physical) units.

Parameters
mapExtentQgsRectangle containing the current map extent. Units are specified by mapUnits()
scaleScale denominator, e.g. 1000.0 for a 1:1000 map
Returns
image size
