Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsProcessingAlgorithm() [1/2]

QgsProcessingAlgorithm::QgsProcessingAlgorithm ( )

default

Constructor for QgsProcessingAlgorithm.

initAlgorithm() should be called after creating an algorithm to ensure it can correctly configure its parameterDefinitions() and outputDefinitions(). Alternatively, calling create() will return a pre-initialized copy of the algorithm.

◆ ~QgsProcessingAlgorithm()

QgsProcessingAlgorithm::~QgsProcessingAlgorithm ( )

virtual

Definition at line 34 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ QgsProcessingAlgorithm() [2/2]

QgsProcessingAlgorithm::QgsProcessingAlgorithm ( const QgsProcessingAlgorithm & other )

delete

Algorithms cannot be copied - create() should be used instead.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addOutput()

bool QgsProcessingAlgorithm::addOutput ( QgsProcessingOutputDefinition * outputDefinition )

protected

Adds an output definition to the algorithm.

Ownership of the definition is transferred to the algorithm. Returns true if the output could be successfully added, or false if the output could not be added (e.g. as a result of a duplicate name).

This should usually be called from a subclass' initAlgorithm() implementation.

Note that in some cases output creation can be automatically performed when calling addParameter(). See the notes in addParameter() for a description of when this occurs.

See also: addParameter(); initAlgorithm()

Definition at line 333 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ addParameter()

bool QgsProcessingAlgorithm::addParameter	(	QgsProcessingParameterDefinition *	parameterDefinition,
		bool	createOutput = `true`
	)

protected

Adds a parameter definition to the algorithm.

Ownership of the definition is transferred to the algorithm. Returns true if parameter could be successfully added, or false if the parameter could not be added (e.g. as a result of a duplicate name).

This should usually be called from a subclass' initAlgorithm() implementation.

If the createOutput argument is true, then a corresponding output definition will also be created (and added to the algorithm) where appropriate. E.g. when adding a QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination and createOutput is true, then a QgsProcessingOutputVectorLayer output will be created and added to the algorithm. There is no need to call addOutput() to manually add a corresponding output for this vector. If createOutput is false then this automatic output creation will not occur.

See also: initAlgorithm(); addOutput()

Definition at line 293 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ asPythonCommand()

QString QgsProcessingAlgorithm::asPythonCommand	(	const QVariantMap &	parameters,
		QgsProcessingContext &	context
	)		const

virtual

Returns a Python command string which can be executed to run the algorithm using the specified parameters.

Algorithms which cannot be run from a Python command should return an empty string.

Definition at line 273 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ canExecute()

bool QgsProcessingAlgorithm::canExecute ( QString * errorMessage = nullptr ) const

virtual

Returns true if the algorithm can execute.

Algorithm subclasses can return false here to indicate that they are not able to execute, e.g. as a result of unmet external dependencies. If specified, the errorMessage argument will be filled with a localised error message describing why the algorithm cannot execute.

Definition at line 93 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ checkParameterValues()

bool QgsProcessingAlgorithm::checkParameterValues	(	const QVariantMap &	parameters,
		QgsProcessingContext &	context,
		QString *	message = `nullptr`
	)		const

virtual

Checks the supplied parameter values to verify that they satisfy the requirements of this algorithm in the supplied context.

The message parameter will be filled with explanatory text if validation fails. Overridden implementations should also check this base class implementation.

Returns: true if parameters are acceptable for the algorithm.

Definition at line 98 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ countVisibleParameters()

int QgsProcessingAlgorithm::countVisibleParameters ( ) const

Returns the number of visible (non-hidden) parameters defined by this algorithm.

Definition at line 378 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ create()

QgsProcessingAlgorithm * QgsProcessingAlgorithm::create ( const QVariantMap & configuration = QVariantMap() ) const

Creates a copy of the algorithm, ready for execution.

This method returns a new, preinitialized copy of the algorithm, ready for executing.

The configuration argument allows passing of a map of configuration settings to the algorithm, allowing it to dynamically adjust its initialized parameters and outputs according to this configuration. This is generally used only for algorithms in a model, allowing them to adjust their behavior at run time according to some user configuration.

Raises a QgsProcessingException if a new algorithm instance could not be created, e.g. if there is an issue with the subclass' createInstance() method.

See also: initAlgorithm()

Definition at line 40 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ createCustomParametersWidget()

QWidget * QgsProcessingAlgorithm::createCustomParametersWidget ( QWidget * parent = nullptr ) const

virtual

If an algorithm subclass implements a custom parameters widget, a copy of this widget should be constructed and returned by this method.

The base class implementation returns nullptr, which indicates that an autogenerated parameters widget should be used.

Definition at line 151 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ createExpressionContext()

QgsExpressionContext QgsProcessingAlgorithm::createExpressionContext	(	const QVariantMap &	parameters,
		QgsProcessingContext &	context,
		QgsProcessingFeatureSource *	source = `nullptr`
	)		const

virtual

Creates an expression context relating to the algorithm.

This can be called by algorithms to create a new expression context ready for evaluating expressions within the algorithm. Optionally, a source can be specified which will be used to populate the context if it implements the QgsExpressionContextGenerator interface.

Definition at line 156 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ createInstance()

virtual QgsProcessingAlgorithm* QgsProcessingAlgorithm::createInstance ( ) const

protectedpure virtual

Creates a new instance of the algorithm class.

This method should return a 'pristine' instance of the algorithm class.

◆ destinationParameterDefinitions()

QgsProcessingParameterDefinitions QgsProcessingAlgorithm::destinationParameterDefinitions ( ) const

Returns a list of destination parameters definitions utilized by the algorithm.

See also: QgsProcessingParameterDefinition::isDestination(); parameterDefinitions()

Definition at line 389 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ displayName()

virtual QString QgsProcessingAlgorithm::displayName ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the translated algorithm name, which should be used for any user-visible display of the algorithm name.

Algorithm display names should be short, e.g. ideally no more than 3 or 4 words. The name should use sentence case (e.g. "Raster layer statistics", not "Raster Layer Statistics").

See also: name(); shortDescription()

◆ flags()

QgsProcessingAlgorithm::Flags QgsProcessingAlgorithm::flags ( ) const

virtual

Returns the flags indicating how and when the algorithm operates and should be exposed to users.

Default flags are FlagSupportsBatch and FlagCanCancel.

Definition at line 88 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ group()

virtual QString QgsProcessingAlgorithm::group ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the name of the group this algorithm belongs to.

This string should be localised.

See also: groupId(); tags()

Definition at line 218 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.h.

◆ groupId()

inlinevirtual

Returns the unique ID of the group this algorithm belongs to.

This string should be fixed for the algorithm, and must not be localised. The group id should be unique within each provider. Group id should contain lowercase alphanumeric characters only and no spaces or other formatting characters.

See also: group()

Definition at line 227 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.h.

◆ hasHtmlOutputs()

bool QgsProcessingAlgorithm::hasHtmlOutputs ( ) const

Returns true if this algorithm generates HTML outputs.

Definition at line 410 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ helpString()

QString QgsProcessingAlgorithm::helpString ( ) const

virtual

See also: helpUrl(); shortHelpString()

Deprecated:: Unused, will be removed in QGIS 4.0

Definition at line 68 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ helpUrl()

QString QgsProcessingAlgorithm::helpUrl ( ) const

virtual

Returns an icon for the algorithm.

See also: svgIconPath()

Definition at line 78 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ id()

QString QgsProcessingAlgorithm::id ( ) const

"qgis:mergelayers" ).

See also: name(); provider()

Definition at line 50 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ initAlgorithm()

virtual void QgsProcessingAlgorithm::initAlgorithm ( const QVariantMap & configuration = QVariantMap() )

protectedpure virtual

Initializes the algorithm using the specified configuration.

This should be called directly after creating algorithms and before retrieving any parameterDefinitions() or outputDefinitions().

Subclasses should use their implementations to add all required input parameter and output definitions (which can be dynamically adjusted according to configuration).

Dynamic configuration can be used by algorithms which alter their behavior when used inside processing models. For instance, a "feature router" type algorithm which sends input features to one of any number of outputs sinks based on some preconfigured filter parameters can use the init method to create these outputs based on the specified configuration.

See also: addParameter(); addOutput()

Implemented in QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm.

◆ invalidRasterError()

QString QgsProcessingAlgorithm::invalidRasterError	(	const QVariantMap &	parameters,
		const QString &	name
	)

staticprotected

Returns a user-friendly string to use as an error when a raster layer input could not be loaded.

		QgsProcessingFeedback *	feedback = `nullptr`
	)

protected

Evaluates the parameter with matching name to a source vector layer file path of compatible format.

QgsGeometry QgsProcessingAlgorithm::parameterAsExtentGeometry	(	const QVariantMap &	parameters,
		const QString &	name,
		QgsProcessingContext &	context,
		const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem &	crs = `QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem()`
	)

protected

Evaluates the parameter with matching name to a rectangular extent, and returns a geometry covering this extent.

If crs is set, and the original coordinate reference system of the parameter can be determined, then the extent will be automatically reprojected so that it is in the specified crs. Unlike parameterAsExtent(), the reprojected rectangle returned by this function will no longer be a rectangle itself (i.e. this method returns the geometry of the actual reprojected rectangle, while parameterAsExtent() returns just the extent of the reprojected rectangle).

◆ postProcess()

QVariantMap QgsProcessingAlgorithm::postProcess	(	QgsProcessingContext &	context,
		QgsProcessingFeedback *	feedback
	)

Should be called in the main thread following the completion of runPrepared().

This method allows the algorithm to perform any required cleanup tasks. The returned variant map includes the results evaluated by the algorithm.

Note: This method modifies the algorithm instance, so it is not safe to call on algorithms directly retrieved from QgsProcessingRegistry and QgsProcessingProvider. Instead, a copy of the algorithm should be created with clone() and prepare()/runPrepared() called on the copy.

Definition at line 525 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ postProcessAlgorithm()

QVariantMap QgsProcessingAlgorithm::postProcessAlgorithm	(	QgsProcessingContext &	context,
		QgsProcessingFeedback *	feedback
	)

protectedvirtual

Allows the algorithm to perform any required cleanup tasks.

The returned variant map includes the results evaluated by the algorithm. These may be output layer references, or calculated values such as statistical calculations.

The context argument specifies the context in which the algorithm was run.

Postprocess progress should be reported using the supplied feedback object. Additionally, well-behaved algorithms should periodically check feedback to determine whether the post processing should be canceled and exited early.

postProcessAlgorithm should be used to handle any thread-sensitive cleanup which is required by the algorithm. It will always be called from the same thread that context has thread affinity with. While this will generally be the main thread, it is not guaranteed. For instance, algorithms which are run as a step in a larger model or as a subcomponent of a script-based algorithm will call postProcessAlgorithm from the same thread as that model/script it being executed in.

postProcessAlgorithm will not be called if the prepareAlgorithm() step failed (returned false), or if an exception was raised by the processAlgorithm() step.

Returns: A map of algorithm outputs. These may be output layer references, or calculated values such as statistical calculations. Implementations which return a non-empty map will override any results returned by processAlgorithm().

◆ prepare()

bool QgsProcessingAlgorithm::prepare	(	const QVariantMap &	parameters,
		QgsProcessingContext &	context,
		QgsProcessingFeedback *	feedback
	)

Prepares the algorithm for execution.

This must be run in the main thread, and allows the algorithm to pre-evaluate input parameters in a thread-safe manner. This must be called before calling runPrepared() (which is safe to do in any thread).

See also: runPrepared(); postProcess()

Note: This method modifies the algorithm instance, so it is not safe to call on algorithms directly retrieved from QgsProcessingRegistry and QgsProcessingProvider. Instead, a copy of the algorithm should be created with clone() and prepare()/runPrepared() called on the copy.

Definition at line 452 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ prepareAlgorithm()

bool QgsProcessingAlgorithm::prepareAlgorithm	(	const QVariantMap &	parameters,
		QgsProcessingContext &	context,
		QgsProcessingFeedback *	feedback
	)

protectedvirtual

Prepares the algorithm to run using the specified parameters.

Algorithms should implement their logic for evaluating parameter values here. The evaluated parameter results should be stored in member variables ready for a call to processAlgorithm().

The context argument specifies the context in which the algorithm is being run.

prepareAlgorithm should be used to handle any thread-sensitive preparation which is required by the algorithm. It will always be called from the same thread that context has thread affinity with. While this will generally be the main thread, it is not guaranteed. For instance, algorithms which are run as a step in a larger model or as a subcomponent of a script-based algorithm will call prepareAlgorithm from the same thread as that model/script it being executed in.

Note that the processAlgorithm step uses a temporary context with affinity for the thread in which the algorithm is executed, making it safe for processAlgorithm implementations to load sources and sinks without issue. Implementing prepareAlgorithm is only required if special thread safe handling is required by the algorithm.

Algorithm preparation progress should be reported using the supplied feedback object. Additionally, well-behaved algorithms should periodically check feedback to determine whether the algorithm should be canceled and exited early.

If the preparation was successful algorithms must return true. If a false value is returned this indicates that the preparation could not be completed, and the algorithm execution will be canceled.

Returns: true if preparation was successful.

Definition at line 350 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ preprocessParameters()

QVariantMap QgsProcessingAlgorithm::preprocessParameters ( const QVariantMap & parameters )

virtual

Pre-processes a set of parameters, allowing the algorithm to clean their values.

This method is automatically called after users enter parameters, e.g. via the algorithm dialog. This method should NOT be called manually by algorithms.

Definition at line 123 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ processAlgorithm()

virtual QVariantMap QgsProcessingAlgorithm::processAlgorithm	(	const QVariantMap &	parameters,
		QgsProcessingContext &	context,
		QgsProcessingFeedback *	feedback
	)

protectedpure virtual

Runs the algorithm using the specified parameters.

Algorithms should implement their custom processing logic here.

The context argument gives a temporary context with thread affinity matching the thread in which the algorithm is being run. This is a cut-back copy of the context passed to the prepareAlgorithm() and postProcessAlgorithm() steps, but it is generally safe for most algorithms to utilize this context for loading layers and creating sinks. Any loaded layers or sinks created within this temporary context will be transferred back to the main execution context upon successful completion of the processAlgorithm() step.

Algorithm progress should be reported using the supplied feedback object. Additionally, well-behaved algorithms should periodically check feedback to determine whether the algorithm should be canceled and exited early.

This method will not be called if the prepareAlgorithm() step failed (returned false).

c++ implementations of processAlgorithm can throw the QgsProcessingException exception to indicate that a fatal error occurred within the execution. Python based subclasses should raise GeoAlgorithmExecutionException for the same purpose.

Returns: A map of algorithm outputs. These may be output layer references, or calculated values such as statistical calculations. Unless the algorithm subclass overrides the postProcessAlgorithm() step this returned map will be used as the output for the algorithm.

Implemented in QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm.

		QgsProcessingContext &	context,
		QgsProcessingFeedback *	feedback,
		bool *	ok = `nullptr`,
		const QVariantMap &	configuration = `QVariantMap()`
	)		const

Executes the algorithm using the specified parameters.

This method internally creates a copy of the algorithm before running it, so it is safe to call on algorithms directly retrieved from QgsProcessingRegistry and QgsProcessingProvider.

The context argument specifies the context in which the algorithm is being run.

Algorithm progress should be reported using the supplied feedback object.

If specified, ok will be set to true if algorithm was successfully run.

Returns: A map of algorithm outputs. These may be output layer references, or calculated values such as statistical calculations.

Note: this method can only be called from the main thread. Use prepare(), runPrepared() and postProcess() if you need to run algorithms from a background thread, or use the QgsProcessingAlgRunnerTask class.

Definition at line 420 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ runPrepared()

QVariantMap QgsProcessingAlgorithm::runPrepared	(	const QVariantMap &	parameters,
		QgsProcessingContext &	context,
		QgsProcessingFeedback *	feedback
	)

Runs the algorithm, which has been prepared by an earlier call to prepare().

This method is safe to call from any thread. Returns true if the algorithm was successfully executed. After runPrepared() has finished, the postProcess() method should be called from the main thread to allow the algorithm to perform any required cleanup tasks and return its final result.

See also: prepare(); postProcess()

Note: This method modifies the algorithm instance, so it is not safe to call on algorithms directly retrieved from QgsProcessingRegistry and QgsProcessingProvider. Instead, a copy of the algorithm should be created with clone() and prepare()/runPrepared() called on the copy.
