Detailed Description

We may need stable references to symbol layers, when pointers to symbol layers is not usable (when a symbol or a feature renderer is cloned for example).

A symbol layer identifier consists of:

• an identifier to its symbol (given by the QgsFeatureRenderer)
• a path of indexes inside its symbol and subsymbols.

For a symbol in a QgsSingleSymbolRenderer that has two symbol layers, it will give:

• "" for the symbol key
• [0] and [1] for the two symbol layer indexes

For a QgsRuleBasedRenderer each rule key is the symbol key.

For a symbol with a symbol layer that has a sub symbol (say a QgsArrowSymbolLayer), path to symbol layers of the sub symbol are given by a list of indexes:

• [0, 0] : first symbol layer of the sub symbol of the first symbol layer
• [0, 1] : second symbol layer of the sub symbol of the first symbol layer
• [2, 0] : first symbol layer of the sub symbol of the third symbol layer, etc.

Since

QGIS 3.12

Deprecated:

since QGIS 3.30 Replaced by QUuid to identify symbol layers
