Detailed Description

The QgsLabelFeature class describes a feature that should be used within the labeling engine.

Those may be the usual textual labels, diagrams, or any other custom type of map annotations (generated by custom label providers).

Instances only contain data relevant to the labeling engine (geometry, label size etc.) necessary for the layout. Rendering of labels is done by label providers.

Individual label providers may create subclasses of QgsLabelFeature in order to add more data to the instances that will be later used for drawing of labels.

Note: this class is not a part of public API yet. See notes in QgsLabelingEngine; not available in Python bindings

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsLabelFeature()

QgsLabelFeature::QgsLabelFeature	(	QgsFeatureId	id,
		geos::unique_ptr	geometry,
		QSizeF	size
	)

Constructor for QgsLabelFeature.

The feature id argument links the label feature back to the original layer feature.

The geometry argument specifies the geometry associated with the feature, which is used by the labeling engine to generate candidate placements for the label. For a vector layer feature this will generally be the feature's geometry.

The size argument dictates the size of the label's content (e.g. text width and height).

◆ setVisualMargin()

void QgsLabelFeature::setVisualMargin ( const QgsMargins & margin )

inline

The visual margin represents a margin within the label which should not be considered when calculating the positions of candidates for the label feature. It is used in certain label placement modes to adjust the position of candidates so that they all appear to be at visually equal distances from a point feature. For instance, this can be used to place labels which sit above a point so that their baseline rather then the descender of the label is at a preset distance from the point.

margin visual margins for label
