Detailed Description

Reads and writes project states.

Note

Has two general kinds of state to make persistent. (I.e., to read and write.) First, QGIS proprietary information. Second plug-in information.

A singleton since there shall only be one active project at a time; and provides canonical location for plug-ins and main app to find/set properties.

Definition at line 89 of file qgsproject.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsProject()

QgsProject::QgsProject ( QObject * parent = nullptr )

explicit

Create a new QgsProject.

Most of the time you want to use QgsProject::instance() instead as many components of QGIS work with the singleton.

◆ ~QgsProject()

QgsProject::~QgsProject ( )

override

Definition at line 409 of file qgsproject.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ absoluteFilePath()

QString QgsProject::absoluteFilePath ( ) const

Returns full absolute path to the project file if the project is stored in a file system - derived from fileName().

Returns empty string when the project is stored in a project storage (there is no concept of paths for custom project storages).

Since: QGIS 3.2

Definition at line 611 of file qgsproject.cpp.

◆ absolutePath()

QString QgsProject::absolutePath ( ) const

Returns full absolute path to the project folder if the project is stored in a file system - derived from fileName().

Returns empty string when the project is stored in a project storage (there is no concept of paths for custom project storages).

Since: QGIS 3.2

Definition at line 600 of file qgsproject.cpp.

◆ addMapLayer()

QgsMapLayer * QgsProject::addMapLayer	(	QgsMapLayer *	mapLayer,
		bool	addToLegend = `true`,
		bool	takeOwnership = `true`
	)

Add a layer to the map of loaded layers.

The layersAdded() and layerWasAdded() signals will always be emitted. The legendLayersAdded() signal is emitted only if addToLegend is true. If you are adding multiple layers at once, you should use addMapLayers() instead.

Parameters

mapLayer	A layer to add to the registry
addToLegend	If true (by default), the layer will be added to the legend and to the main canvas. If you have a private layer you can set this parameter to false to hide it.
takeOwnership	Ownership will be transferred to the layer registry. If you specify false here you have take care of deleting the layer yourself. Not available in Python.

Returns: nullptr if unable to add layer, otherwise pointer to newly added layer

See also: addMapLayers

Note: As a side-effect QgsProject is made dirty.; Use addMapLayers if adding more than one layer at a time; takeOwnership is not available in the Python bindings - the registry will always take ownership

See also: addMapLayers()

Definition at line 2774 of file qgsproject.cpp.

◆ addMapLayers()

QList< QgsMapLayer * > QgsProject::addMapLayers	(	const QList< QgsMapLayer *> &	mapLayers,
		bool	addToLegend = `true`,
		bool	takeOwnership = `true`
	)

Add a list of layers to the map of loaded layers.

The layersAdded() and layerWasAdded() signals will always be emitted. The legendLayersAdded() signal is emitted only if addToLegend is true.

Parameters

mapLayers	A list of layer which should be added to the registry
addToLegend	If true (by default), the layers will be added to the legend and to the main canvas. If you have a private layer you can set this parameter to false to hide it.
takeOwnership	Ownership will be transferred to the layer registry. If you specify false here you have take care of deleting the layers yourself. Not available in Python.

Returns: a list of the map layers that were added successfully. If a layer or already exists in the registry, it will not be part of the returned QList.

Note: As a side-effect QgsProject is made dirty.; takeOwnership is not available in the Python bindings - the registry will always take ownership

signal

Emitted whenever the configuration for snapping has changed.

◆ subkeyList()

QStringList QgsProject::subkeyList	(	const QString &	scope,
		const QString &	key
	)		const

Returns keys with keys – do not return keys that contain only values.

Note: equivalent to QgsSettings subkeyList()

Definition at line 2170 of file qgsproject.cpp.

◆ takeMapLayer()

QgsMapLayer * QgsProject::takeMapLayer ( QgsMapLayer * layer )

Takes a layer from the registry.

If the layer was owned by the project, the layer will be returned without deleting it. The caller takes ownership of the layer and is responsible for deleting it.

See also: removeMapLayer()

Since: QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 2803 of file qgsproject.cpp.

◆ title()

QString QgsProject::title ( ) const

Returns the project's title.

See also: setTitle()

Note: Since QGIS 3.2 this is just a shortcut to retrieving the title from the project's metadata().

Definition at line 450 of file qgsproject.cpp.

◆ topologicalEditing()

bool QgsProject::topologicalEditing ( ) const

Convenience function to query topological editing status.

Definition at line 2441 of file qgsproject.cpp.

◆ topologicalEditingChanged

void QgsProject::topologicalEditingChanged ( )

signal

Emitted when the topological editing flag has changed.

Since: QGIS 3.0

◆ transactionGroup()

QgsTransactionGroup * QgsProject::transactionGroup	(	const QString &	providerKey,
		const QString &	connString
	)

Returns the matching transaction group from a provider key and connection string.

Returns nullptr if a matching transaction group is not available.

Since: QGIS 3.2

Definition at line 2828 of file qgsproject.cpp.

◆ transactionGroups()

QMap< QPair< QString, QString >, QgsTransactionGroup * > QgsProject::transactionGroups ( )

Map of transaction groups.

QPair( providerKey, connString ) -> transactionGroup

Note: Not available in Python bindings

Since: QGIS 2.16

Definition at line 2613 of file qgsproject.cpp.

◆ transactionGroupsChanged

void QgsProject::transactionGroupsChanged ( )

signal

Emitted whenever a new transaction group has been created or a transaction group has been removed.

Since: QGIS 3.0

◆ transformContext()

QgsCoordinateTransformContext QgsProject::transformContext ( ) const

Returns a copy of the project's coordinate transform context, which stores various information regarding which datum transforms should be used when transforming points from a source to destination coordinate reference system.

See also: setTransformContext(); transformContextChanged()

Since: QGIS 3.0

◆ transformContextChanged

void QgsProject::transformContextChanged ( )

signal

Emitted when the project transformContext() is changed.

See also: transformContext()

Since: QGIS 3.0

◆ translate()

QString QgsProject::translate	(	const QString &	context,
		const QString &	sourceText,
		const char *	disambiguation = `nullptr`,
		int	n = `-1`
	)		const

overridevirtual

Translates the project with QTranslator and qm file.

Returns: the result string (in case there is no QTranslator loaded the sourceText)

Parameters

context	describing layer etc.
sourceText	is the identifier of this text
disambiguation	it's the disambiguation
n	if -1 uses the appropriate form

Since: QGIS 3.4

Implements QgsProjectTranslator.

Definition at line 2986 of file qgsproject.cpp.

◆ trustLayerMetadata()

bool QgsProject::trustLayerMetadata ( ) const

inline

Returns true if the trust option is activated, false otherwise.

This option allows indicateing if the extent has to be read from the XML document when data source has no metadata or if the data provider has to determine it. Moreover, when this option is activated, primary key unicity is not checked for views and materialized views with Postgres provider.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 953 of file qgsproject.h.

◆ validCount()

int QgsProject::validCount ( ) const

Returns the number of registered valid layers.

Definition at line 2629 of file qgsproject.cpp.

◆ write() [1/2]

bool QgsProject::write ( const QString & filename )

Writes the project to a file.

Parameters

filename destination file

Returns: true if project was written successfully

Note: calling this implicitly sets the project's filename (see setFileName() ); isDirty() will be set to false if project is successfully written

Since: QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 1647 of file qgsproject.cpp.

◆ write() [2/2]

bool QgsProject::write ( )

Writes the project to its current associated file (see fileName() ).

Returns: true if project was written successfully

Note: isDirty() will be set to false if project is successfully written

Definition at line 1654 of file qgsproject.cpp.
