Member Function Documentation

◆ checkStateFromXml()

Qt::CheckState QgsLayerTreeUtils::checkStateFromXml ( const QString & txt )

static

Convert QString to Qt::CheckState.

Definition at line 195 of file qgslayertreeutils.cpp.

◆ checkStateToXml()

QString QgsLayerTreeUtils::checkStateToXml ( Qt::CheckState state )

static

Convert Qt::CheckState to QString.

Definition at line 181 of file qgslayertreeutils.cpp.

◆ collectMapLayersRecursive()

QSet< QgsMapLayer * > QgsLayerTreeUtils::collectMapLayersRecursive ( const QList< QgsLayerTreeNode *> & nodes )

static

Returns map layers from the given list of layer tree nodes.

Also recursively visits child nodes of groups.

Since: QGIS 3.4

Definition at line 482 of file qgslayertreeutils.cpp.

◆ countMapLayerInTree()

int QgsLayerTreeUtils::countMapLayerInTree	(	QgsLayerTreeNode *	tree,
		QgsMapLayer *	layer
	)

static

Returns how many occurrences of a map layer are there in a layer tree.

In normal situations there is at most one occurrence, but sometimes there may be temporarily more: for example, during drag&drop, upon drop a new layer node is created while the original dragged node is still in the tree, resulting in two occurrences.

This is useful when deciding whether to start or stop listening to a signal of a map layer within a layer tree and only connecting/disconnecting when there is only one occurrence of that layer.

Since: QGIS 3.4

Definition at line 489 of file qgslayertreeutils.cpp.

◆ hasLegendFilterExpression()

bool QgsLayerTreeUtils::hasLegendFilterExpression ( const QgsLayerTreeGroup & group )

static

Test if one of the layers in a group has an expression filter.

Definition at line 430 of file qgslayertreeutils.cpp.

◆ insertLayerBelow()

QgsLayerTreeLayer * QgsLayerTreeUtils::insertLayerBelow	(	QgsLayerTreeGroup *	group,
		const QgsMapLayer *	refLayer,
		QgsMapLayer *	layerToInsert
	)

static

Insert a QgsMapLayer just below another one.

Parameters

group	the tree group where layers are (can be the root group)
refLayer	the reference layer
layerToInsert	the new layer to insert just below the reference layer

Returns: the new tree layer

Definition at line 444 of file qgslayertreeutils.cpp.
