This represents the desired scale denominator for the rendered map, eg 1000.0 for a 1:1000 map render. A value of -1 indicates that symbology scaling by reference scale is disabled.

The symbology reference scale is an optional property which specifies the reference scale at which symbology in paper units (such a millimeters or points) is fixed to. For instance, if the scale is 1000 then a 2mm thick line will be rendered at exactly 2mm thick when a map is rendered at 1:1000, or 1mm thick when rendered at 1:2000, or 4mm thick at 1:500.

See also: setReferenceScale()

		bool	selected = `false`,

	)

virtual

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).

void QgsFeatureRenderer::setDataDefinedProperty	(	Property	key,
		const QgsProperty &	property

Sets a data defined property for the renderer.

Any existing property with the same key will be overwritten.

See also: dataDefinedProperties(); Property

Since: QGIS 3.38

Definition at line 567 of file qgsrenderer.cpp.

◆ setEmbeddedRenderer()

void QgsFeatureRenderer::setEmbeddedRenderer ( QgsFeatureRenderer * subRenderer )

virtual

Sets an embedded renderer (subrenderer) for this feature renderer.

The base class implementation does nothing with subrenderers, but individual derived classes can use these to modify their behavior.

Parameters

subRenderer the embedded renderer. Ownership will be transferred.

See also: embeddedRenderer()

Reimplemented in QgsPointDistanceRenderer, and QgsMergedFeatureRenderer.

Definition at line 592 of file qgsrenderer.cpp.

◆ setForceRasterRender()

void QgsFeatureRenderer::setForceRasterRender ( bool forceRaster )

inline

Sets whether the renderer should be rendered to a raster destination.

Parameters

forceRaster set to true if renderer must be drawn on a raster surface. This may be desirable for highly detailed layers where rendering as a vector would result in a large, complex vector output.

See also: forceRasterRender

Definition at line 509 of file qgsrenderer.h.

◆ setLegendSymbolItem()

void QgsFeatureRenderer::setLegendSymbolItem	(	const QString &	key,
		QgsSymbol *	symbol
	)

virtual

Sets the symbol to be used for a legend symbol item.

Parameters

key	rule key for legend symbol
symbol	new symbol for legend item. Ownership is transferred to renderer.

See also: legendKeys()

Reimplemented in QgsCategorizedSymbolRenderer, QgsGraduatedSymbolRenderer, QgsMergedFeatureRenderer, QgsPointDistanceRenderer, QgsRuleBasedRenderer, and QgsSingleSymbolRenderer.

Definition at line 404 of file qgsrenderer.cpp.

◆ setOrderBy()

void QgsFeatureRenderer::setOrderBy ( const QgsFeatureRequest::OrderBy & orderBy )

Define the order in which features shall be processed by this renderer.

Note: this property has no effect if orderByEnabled() is false

See also: setOrderByEnabled()

Definition at line 577 of file qgsrenderer.cpp.

◆ setOrderByEnabled()

void QgsFeatureRenderer::setOrderByEnabled ( bool enabled )

Sets whether custom ordering should be applied before features are processed by this renderer.

Parameters

enabled set to true to enable custom feature ordering

See also: setOrderBy(); orderByEnabled()

Definition at line 587 of file qgsrenderer.cpp.

◆ setPaintEffect()

void QgsFeatureRenderer::setPaintEffect ( QgsPaintEffect * effect )

Sets the current paint effect for the renderer.

Parameters

effect paint effect. Ownership is transferred to the renderer.

See also: paintEffect

Definition at line 561 of file qgsrenderer.cpp.

◆ setReferenceScale()

void QgsFeatureRenderer::setReferenceScale ( double scale )

inline

Sets the symbology reference scale.

This should match the desired scale denominator for the rendered map, eg 1000.0 for a 1:1000 map render. Set to -1 to disable symbology scaling by reference scale.

The symbology reference scale is an optional property which specifies the reference scale at which symbology in paper units (such a millimeters or points) is fixed to. For instance, if scale is set to 1000 then a 2mm thick line will be rendered at exactly 2mm thick when a map is rendered at 1:1000, or 1mm thick when rendered at 1:2000, or 4mm thick at 1:500.

See also: referenceScale()

Since: QGIS 3.22

Definition at line 489 of file qgsrenderer.cpp.

◆ startRender()

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

virtual

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 in Qgs25DRenderer, QgsCategorizedSymbolRenderer, QgsEmbeddedSymbolRenderer, QgsGraduatedSymbolRenderer, QgsHeatmapRenderer, QgsMergedFeatureRenderer, QgsPointClusterRenderer, QgsPointDisplacementRenderer, QgsPointDistanceRenderer, QgsRuleBasedRenderer, and QgsSingleSymbolRenderer.

Definition at line 101 of file qgsrenderer.cpp.

◆ stopRender()

void QgsFeatureRenderer::stopRender ( QgsRenderContext & context )

virtual

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.
