Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsKernelDensityEstimation() [1/2]

QgsKernelDensityEstimation::QgsKernelDensityEstimation ( const Parameters parameters,
const QString &  outputFile,
const QString &  outputFormat 
)

Constructor for QgsKernelDensityEstimation.

Requires a Parameters object specifying the options to use to generate the surface. The output path and file format are also required.

Definition at line 23 of file qgskde.cpp.

◆ QgsKernelDensityEstimation() [2/2]

QgsKernelDensityEstimation::QgsKernelDensityEstimation ( const QgsKernelDensityEstimation other)
delete

Member Function Documentation

◆ addFeature()

QgsKernelDensityEstimation::Result QgsKernelDensityEstimation::addFeature ( const QgsFeature feature)

Adds a single feature to the KDE surface.

prepare() must be called before adding features.

See also
prepare()
finalise()

Definition at line 107 of file qgskde.cpp.

◆ finalise()

QgsKernelDensityEstimation::Result QgsKernelDensityEstimation::finalise ( )

Finalises the output file.

Must be called after adding all features via addFeature().

See also
prepare()
addFeature()

Definition at line 206 of file qgskde.cpp.

◆ operator=()

QgsKernelDensityEstimation & QgsKernelDensityEstimation::operator= ( const QgsKernelDensityEstimation other)
delete

◆ prepare()

QgsKernelDensityEstimation::Result QgsKernelDensityEstimation::prepare ( )

Prepares the output file for writing and setups up the surface calculation.

This must be called before adding features via addFeature().

See also
addFeature()
finalise()

Definition at line 69 of file qgskde.cpp.

◆ run()

QgsKernelDensityEstimation::Result QgsKernelDensityEstimation::run ( )

Runs the KDE calculation across the whole layer at once.

Either call this method, or manually call run(), addFeature() and finalise() separately.

Definition at line 44 of file qgskde.cpp.
