Detailed Description

A line symbol type, for rendering LineString and MultiLineString geometries.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QgsLineSymbol()

QgsLineSymbol::QgsLineSymbol

(

const QgsSymbolLayerList &

layers = QgsSymbolLayerList()

)

Constructor for QgsLineSymbol, with the specified list of initial symbol layers.

Ownership of the layers are transferred to the symbol.

Definition at line 1601 of file qgssymbol.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

clone()

QgsLineSymbol * QgsLineSymbol::clone ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns a deep copy of this symbol.

Ownership is transferred to the caller.

Implements QgsSymbol.

Definition at line 1820 of file qgssymbol.cpp.

createSimple()

QgsLineSymbol * QgsLineSymbol::createSimple ( const QgsStringMap &  properties )

static

Create a line symbol with one symbol layer: SimpleLine with specified properties.

This is a convenience method for easier creation of line symbols.

Definition at line 1137 of file qgssymbol.cpp.

dataDefinedWidth()

QgsProperty QgsLineSymbol::dataDefinedWidth

(

)

const

Returns data defined width for whole symbol (including all symbol layers).

Returns

data defined width, or invalid property if size is not set at the line level. Caller takes responsibility for deleting the returned object.

renderPolyline()

void QgsLineSymbol::renderPolyline	(	const QPolygonF &	points,
		const QgsFeature *	f,
		QgsRenderContext &	context,
		int	layer = -1,
		bool	selected = false
	)

Definition at line 1756 of file qgssymbol.cpp.

setDataDefinedWidth()

void QgsLineSymbol::setDataDefinedWidth

(

const QgsProperty &

property

)

Set data defined width for whole symbol (including all symbol layers).

dataDefinedWidth()

Since

QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 1668 of file qgssymbol.cpp.

setWidth()

void QgsLineSymbol::setWidth

(

double

width

)

Sets the width for the whole line symbol.

Individual symbol layer sizes will be scaled to maintain their current relative size to the whole symbol size.

See also

width()

Definition at line 1608 of file qgssymbol.cpp.

width() [1/2]

double QgsLineSymbol::width

(

)

const

Returns the estimated width for the whole symbol, which is the maximum width of all marker symbol layers in the symbol.

Warning

This returned value is inaccurate if the symbol consists of multiple symbol layers with different width units. Use the overload accepting a QgsRenderContext argument instead for accurate sizes in this case.

setWidth()

Definition at line 1634 of file qgssymbol.cpp.

width() [2/2]

double QgsLineSymbol::width

(

const QgsRenderContext &

context

)

const

Returns the symbol width, in painter units.

This is the maximum width of all marker symbol layers in the symbol.

This method returns an accurate width by calculating the actual rendered width of each symbol layer using the provided render context.
