Detailed Description

Management of styles for use with one map layer.

Stored styles are identified by their names. The manager always keep track of which style of the stored ones is currently active. When the current style is changed, the new style is applied to the associated layer.

The class takes care of updating itself when the layer's current style configuration changes. When some of layer style's properties change (e.g. opacity / colors), the style manager will record them in the currently active style without any extra effort required.

When an instance is created, it creates "default" style (with empty name) recorded from the associated map layer and it is set as the current style. The instance must always contain at least one style (which is the current).

The style which is marked as current has no style data stored in its entry. This is to avoid duplication of data as all data is stored in map layer and can be retrieved easily. Also when saving, the entry for the current style will be saved with no data because everything is already saved by the map layer itself.

The class also features support for temporary change of the layer's style, ideal for short-term use of a custom style followed by restoration of the original style (for example, when rendering a map with a different than current style).

Definition at line 44 of file qgsmaplayerstylemanager.cpp.

◆ removeStyle()

bool QgsMapLayerStyleManager::removeStyle ( const QString & name )

Remove a stored style.

Returns: true on success (style exists and it is not the last one)

Definition at line 127 of file qgsmaplayerstylemanager.cpp.

◆ renameStyle()

bool QgsMapLayerStyleManager::renameStyle	(	const QString &	name,
		const QString &	newName
	)

Rename a stored style to a different name.

Returns: true on success (style exists and new name is unique)

Definition at line 149 of file qgsmaplayerstylemanager.cpp.

◆ reset()

void QgsMapLayerStyleManager::reset ( )

Reset the style manager to a basic state - with one default style which is set as current.

Definition at line 38 of file qgsmaplayerstylemanager.cpp.

bool QgsMapLayerStyleManager::setCurrentStyle ( const QString & name )

Set a different style as the current style - will apply it to the layer.

Returns: true on success

Definition at line 168 of file qgsmaplayerstylemanager.cpp.

◆ setOverrideStyle()

bool QgsMapLayerStyleManager::setOverrideStyle ( const QString & styleDef )
