The returned CRS will take into account verticalCrs() when appropriate, e.g. it may return a compound CRS consisting of crs() + verticalCrs(). This method may still return a 2D CRS, e.g in the case that crs() is a 2D CRS and no verticalCrs() has been set for the layer. Check QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::type() on the returned value to determine the type of CRS returned by this method.

Warning: It is NOT guaranteed that the returned CRS will actually be a 3D CRS, but rather it is guaranteed that the returned CRS is ALWAYS the most appropriate CRS to use when handling 3D data.

template<class T >

T QgsMapLayer::customEnumProperty	(	const QString &	key,
		const T &	defaultValue
	)

inline

Returns the property value for a property based on an enum.

Note: The enum needs to be declared with Q_ENUM, and flags with Q_FLAG (not Q_FLAGS).

void QgsMapLayer::setDataSource	(	const QString &	dataSource,
		const QString &	baseName,
		const QString &	provider,
		bool	loadDefaultStyleFlag = `false`
	)

Updates the data source of the layer.

The dataSource argument must specify the new data source string for the layer. The format varies depending on the specified data provider in use. See QgsDataSourceUri and the documentation for the various QgsMapLayer subclasses for further details on data source strings.

The baseName argument specifies the user-visible name to use for the layer. (See name() or setName()).

The provider argument is used to specify the unique key of the data provider to use for the layer. This must match one of the values returned by QgsProviderRegistry::instance()->providerList(). (See providerType()).

If loadDefaultStyleFlag is set to true then the layer's existing style will be reset to the default for the data source.

Note: If loadDefaultStyleFlag is false then the layer's renderer and legend will be preserved only if the geometry type of the new data source matches the current geometry type of the layer.

After setting a new data source callers can test isValid() to determine whether the new source and provider are valid and ready for use. If setting the new data source fails and the layer returns false to isValid(), then descriptive errors relating to setting the data source can be retrieved by calling error().

The provider argument is used to specify the unique key of the data provider to use for the layer. This must match one of the values returned by QgsProviderRegistry::instance()->providerList(). (See providerType()).

The options argument can be used to pass additional layer properties to the new data provider.

If loadDefaultStyleFlag is set to true then the layer's existing style will be reset to the default for the data source.

Note: If loadDefaultStyleFlag is false then the layer's renderer and legend will be preserved only if the geometry type of the new data source matches the current geometry type of the layer.

Stores state in DOM node.

Parameters

layerElement	is a DOM element corresponding to `‘maplayer’' tag
document	is a the DOM document being written
context	reading context (e.g. for conversion between relative and absolute paths)

Note

The DOM node corresponds to a DOM document project file XML element to be written by QgsProject.

doc	the document that will have the QDomNode added.
errorMessage	reference to string that will be updated with any error messages
context	writing context (used for transform from absolute to relative paths)
categories	the style categories to be written

Returns: true in case of success.

Note: To be implemented in subclasses. Default implementation does nothing and returns false.; There is a confusion of terms with the GUI. This method actually writes what is known as the symbology in the application.

Reimplemented in QgsVectorLayer, QgsRasterLayer, QgsAnnotationLayer, QgsPointCloudLayer, QgsTiledSceneLayer, and QgsMeshLayer.

◆ writeStyleManager()

void QgsMapLayer::writeStyleManager	(	QDomNode &	layerNode,
		QDomDocument &	doc
	)		const

protected

Write style manager's configuration (if exists). To be called by subclasses.

Definition at line 1042 of file qgsmaplayer.cpp.

◆ writeSymbology()

virtual bool QgsMapLayer::writeSymbology	(	QDomNode &	node,
		QDomDocument &	doc,
		QString &	errorMessage,
		const QgsReadWriteContext &	context,
		StyleCategories	categories = `AllStyleCategories`
	)		const

pure virtual

Write the style for the layer into the document provided.

Parameters

node	the node that will have the style element added to it.
doc	the document that will have the QDomNode added.
errorMessage	reference to string that will be updated with any error messages
context	writing context (used for transform from absolute to relative paths)
categories	the style categories to be written

Note: There is a confusion of terms with the GUI. This method actually writes what is called a style in the application.

Returns: true in case of success.

Implemented in QgsRasterLayer, QgsAnnotationLayer, QgsGroupLayer, QgsVectorLayer, QgsMeshLayer, QgsPointCloudLayer, QgsTiledSceneLayer, and QgsVectorTileLayer.

◆ writeXml()

bool QgsMapLayer::writeXml	(	QDomNode &	layer_node,
		QDomDocument &	document,
		const QgsReadWriteContext &	context
	)		const

protectedvirtual

Called by writeLayerXML(), used by children to write state specific to them to project files.

Reimplemented in QgsVectorLayer, QgsAnnotationLayer, QgsMeshLayer, QgsGroupLayer, QgsRasterLayer, QgsPointCloudLayer, QgsTiledSceneLayer, and QgsVectorTileLayer.
