Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ CompileStatus

enum QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::CompileStatus

Status of expression compilation for filter expression requests.

Enumerator
NoCompilation	Expression could not be compiled or not attempt was made to compile expression.
PartiallyCompiled	Expression was partially compiled, but extra checks need to be applied to features.
Compiled	Expression was fully compiled and delegated to data provider source.

Definition at line 33 of file qgsfeatureiterator.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsAbstractFeatureIterator()

QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::QgsAbstractFeatureIterator ( const QgsFeatureRequest & request )

base class constructor - stores the iteration parameters

Definition at line 22 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

◆ ~QgsAbstractFeatureIterator()

virtual QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::~QgsAbstractFeatureIterator ( )

virtualdefault

destructor makes sure that the iterator is closed properly

Member Function Documentation

◆ close()

virtual bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::close ( )

pure virtual

end of iterating: free the resources / lock

Implemented in QgsVectorLayerFeatureIterator, QgsCachedFeatureWriterIterator, and QgsCachedFeatureIterator.

◆ compileFailed()

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::compileFailed ( ) const

Indicator if there was an error when sending the compiled query to the server.

This indicates that there is something wrong with the expression compiler.

Since: QGIS 3.2

Definition at line 150 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

◆ compileStatus()

CompileStatus QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::compileStatus ( ) const

inline

Returns the status of expression compilation for filter expression requests.

Since: QGIS 2.16

Definition at line 69 of file qgsfeatureiterator.h.

◆ deref()

void QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::deref ( )

protected

Remove reference, delete if refs == 0.

Definition at line 143 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

◆ fetchFeature()

virtual bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::fetchFeature ( QgsFeature & f )

protectedpure virtual

If you write a feature iterator for your provider, this is the method you need to implement!!

Parameters

f	The feature to write to

Returns: true if a feature was written to f

Implemented in QgsVectorLayerFeatureIterator, QgsCachedFeatureWriterIterator, and QgsCachedFeatureIterator.

◆ filterRectToSourceCrs()

QgsRectangle QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::filterRectToSourceCrs ( const QgsCoordinateTransform & transform ) const

protected

Returns a rectangle representing the original request's QgsFeatureRequest::filterRect().

If transform is a valid coordinate transform, the return rectangle will represent the requested filterRect() transformed to the source's coordinate reference system. Iterators should call this method and use the returned rectangle for filtering features to ensure that any QgsFeatureRequest::destinationCrs() set on the request is respected. Will throw a QgsCsException if the rect cannot be transformed from the destination CRS.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 118 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

◆ geometryToDestinationCrs()

void QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::geometryToDestinationCrs	(	QgsFeature &	feature,
		const QgsCoordinateTransform &	transform
	)		const

protected

Transforms feature's geometry according to the specified coordinate transform.

If feature has no geometry or transform is invalid then calling this method has no effect and will be shortcut. Iterators should call this method before returning features to ensure that any QgsFeatureRequest::destinationCrs() set on the request is respected.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 95 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

◆ isValid()

virtual bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::isValid ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns if this iterator is valid.

An invalid feature iterator is not able to provide a reliable source for data. If an iterator is invalid, either give up or try to send the request again (preferably after a timeout to give the system some time to stay responsive).

If you want to check if the iterator successfully completed, better use QgsFeatureIterator::isClosed().

Since: QGIS 3.0

Reimplemented in QgsVectorLayerFeatureIterator.

Definition at line 81 of file qgsfeatureiterator.h.

◆ nextFeature()

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::nextFeature ( QgsFeature & f )

virtual

fetch next feature, return true on success

Definition at line 27 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

◆ nextFeatureFilterExpression()

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::nextFeatureFilterExpression ( QgsFeature & f )

protectedvirtual

By default, the iterator will fetch all features and check if the feature matches the expression.

If you have a more sophisticated metodology (SQL request for the features...) and you check for the expression in your fetchFeature method, you can just redirect this call to fetchFeature so the default check will be omitted.

Parameters

f	The feature to write to

Returns: true if a feature was written to f

Reimplemented in QgsVectorLayerFeatureIterator.

Definition at line 74 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

◆ nextFeatureFilterFids()

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::nextFeatureFilterFids ( QgsFeature & f )

protectedvirtual

By default, the iterator will fetch all features and check if the id is in the request.

If you have a more sophisticated metodology (SQL request for the features...) and you are sure, that any feature you return from fetchFeature will match if the request was FilterFids you can just redirect this call to fetchFeature so the default check will be omitted.

Parameters

f	The feature to write to

Returns: true if a feature was written to f

Reimplemented in QgsCachedFeatureIterator.

Definition at line 85 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

◆ prepareSimplification()

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::prepareSimplification ( const QgsSimplifyMethod & simplifyMethod )

protectedvirtual

Setup the simplification of geometries to fetch using the specified simplify method.

Reimplemented in QgsVectorLayerFeatureIterator.

Definition at line 155 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

◆ ref()

void QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::ref ( )

protected

Add reference.

Definition at line 126 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

◆ rewind()

virtual bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::rewind ( )

pure virtual

reset the iterator to the starting position

Implemented in QgsVectorLayerFeatureIterator, QgsCachedFeatureWriterIterator, and QgsCachedFeatureIterator.

◆ setInterruptionChecker()

void QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::setInterruptionChecker ( QgsFeedback * interruptionChecker )

virtual

Attach an object that can be queried regularly by the iterator to check if it must stopped.

This is mostly useful for iterators where a single nextFeature()/fetchFeature() iteration might be very long. A typical use case is the WFS provider. When nextFeature()/fetchFeature() is reasonably fast, it is not necessary to implement this method. The default implementation does nothing.

Note: not available in Python bindings

Since: QGIS 2.16

Reimplemented in QgsVectorLayerFeatureIterator.

QgsFeatureRequest QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::mRequest

protected

A copy of the feature request.

Definition at line 153 of file qgsfeatureiterator.h.

◆ mValid

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::mValid = true

protected

An invalid state of a feature iterator indicates that there was a problem with even getting it up and running.

This should be set to false by subclasses if they have problems connecting to the provider. Do NOT set this to false when the feature iterator closes or has no features but we are sure, that it's just an empty dataset.

Definition at line 197 of file qgsfeatureiterator.h.

◆ mZombie

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::mZombie = false

protected

A feature iterator may be closed already but still be serving features from the cache.

This is done when we serve features which have been pre-fetched and the order by has been locally sorted. In such a scenario, all resources have been released (mClosed is true) but the deads are still alive.

Definition at line 165 of file qgsfeatureiterator.h.

◆ refs

int QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::refs = 0

protected

reference counting (to allow seamless copying of QgsFeatureIterator instances) TODO QGIS3: make this private
