Detailed Description

A vector feature renderer which uses embedded feature symbology to render per-feature symbols.

This renderer can be used for vector layers with a data provider which supports the QgsVectorDataProvider::FeatureSymbology capability, where the dataset has embedded information on how each feature should be rendered.

Since: QGIS 3.20

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer()

QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer ( QgsSymbol * defaultSymbol )

Constructor for QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer.

The defaultSymbol will be used to render any feature without embedded symbology. Ownership of defaultSymbol is transferred to the renderer.

Definition at line 23 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ ~QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer()

QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::~QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer ( )

Member Function Documentation

◆ capabilities()

QgsFeatureRenderer::Capabilities QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::capabilities ( )

overridevirtual

Returns details about internals of this renderer.

E.g. if you only want to deal with visible features:

if not renderer.capabilities().testFlag(QgsFeatureRenderer.Filter) or renderer.willRenderFeature(feature, context):
    deal_with_my_feature()
else:
    skip_the_curren_feature()

Reimplemented from QgsFeatureRenderer.

Definition at line 99 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ clone()

QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer * QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::clone ( ) const

overridevirtual

Create a deep copy of this renderer.

Should be implemented by all subclasses and generate a proper subclass.

Returns: A copy of this renderer

Implements QgsFeatureRenderer.

Definition at line 92 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ convertFromRenderer()

QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer * QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::convertFromRenderer ( const QgsFeatureRenderer * renderer )

static

Creates a QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer from an existing renderer.

Returns: a new renderer if the conversion was possible, otherwise nullptr.

Definition at line 119 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ create()

QgsFeatureRenderer * QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::create	(	QDomElement &	element,
		const QgsReadWriteContext &	context
	)

static

Creates a new embedded symbol renderer from an XML element, using the supplied read/write context.

The caller takes ownership of the returned renderer.

Definition at line 104 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ defaultSymbol()

QgsSymbol * QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::defaultSymbol ( ) const

Returns the default symbol which will be rendered for any feature which does not have embedded symbology.

See also: setDefaultSymbol()

Definition at line 160 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ originalSymbolForFeature()

QgsSymbol * QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::originalSymbolForFeature	(	const QgsFeature &	feature,
		QgsRenderContext &	context
	)		const

overridevirtual

Returns symbol for feature.

The difference compared to symbolForFeature() is that it returns original symbol which can be used as an identifier for renderer's rule - the former may return a temporary replacement of a symbol for use in rendering.

Reimplemented from QgsFeatureRenderer.

Definition at line 40 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ renderFeature()

bool QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::renderFeature	(	const QgsFeature &	feature,
		QgsRenderContext &	context,
		int	layer = `-1`,
		bool	selected = `false`,
		bool	drawVertexMarker = `false`
	)

overridevirtual

Render a feature using this renderer in the given context.

Must be called between startRender() and stopRender() calls. Default implementation renders a symbol as determined by symbolForFeature() call. Returns true if the feature has been returned (this is used for example to determine whether the feature may be labelled).

If layer is not -1, the renderer should draw only a particular layer from symbols (in order to support symbol level rendering).

See also: startRender(); stopRender()

Reimplemented from QgsFeatureRenderer.

Definition at line 56 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ save()

QDomElement QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::save	(	QDomDocument &	doc,
		const QgsReadWriteContext &	context
	)

overridevirtual

Stores renderer properties to an XML element.

Subclasses which override this method should call saveRendererData() as part of their implementation in order to store all common base class properties in the returned DOM element.

Reimplemented from QgsFeatureRenderer.

Definition at line 137 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ setDefaultSymbol()

void QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::setDefaultSymbol ( QgsSymbol * symbol )

Sets the default symbol which will be rendered for any feature which does not have embedded symbology.

Ownership of symbol is transferred to the renderer.

See also: defaultSymbol()

Definition at line 165 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ startRender()

void QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::startRender	(	QgsRenderContext &	context,
		const QgsFields &	fields
	)

overridevirtual

Must be called when a new render cycle is started.

A call to startRender() must always be followed by a corresponding call to stopRender() after all features have been rendered.

Parameters

context	Additional information passed to the renderer about the job which will be rendered
fields	The fields available for rendering

See also: stopRender()

Warning: This method is not thread safe. Before calling startRender() in a non-main thread, the renderer should instead be cloned and startRender()/stopRender() called on the clone.

Reimplemented from QgsFeatureRenderer.

Definition at line 49 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ stopRender()

void QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::stopRender ( QgsRenderContext & context )

overridevirtual

Must be called when a render cycle has finished, to allow the renderer to clean up.

Calls to stopRender() must always be preceded by a call to startRender().

Warning: This method is not thread safe. Before calling startRender() in a non-main thread, the renderer should instead be cloned and startRender()/stopRender() called on the clone.

See also: startRender()

Reimplemented from QgsFeatureRenderer.

Definition at line 73 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ symbolForFeature()

QgsSymbol * QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::symbolForFeature	(	const QgsFeature &	feature,
		QgsRenderContext &	context
	)		const

overridevirtual

To be overridden.

Must be called between startRender() and stopRender() calls.

Parameters

feature	feature
context	render context

Returns: returns pointer to symbol or 0 if symbol was not found

QgsSymbolList QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::symbols ( QgsRenderContext & context ) const

overridevirtual

Returns list of symbols used by the renderer.

Parameters

context render context

◆ usedAttributes()

QSet< QString > QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::usedAttributes ( const QgsRenderContext & context ) const

overridevirtual

Returns a list of attributes required by this renderer.

Attributes not listed in here may not have been requested from the provider at rendering time.

Returns: A set of attributes

Implements QgsFeatureRenderer.

Definition at line 79 of file qgsembeddedsymbolrenderer.cpp.

◆ usesEmbeddedSymbols()

bool QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer::usesEmbeddedSymbols ( ) const
