Detailed Description

A common interface for layout designer dialogs and widgets.

Provides a common interface and stable API for layout designer dialogs and widgets. This interface can be used by plugins and scripts to interact with open layout designer dialogs.

Note: Layout designer dialogs are transitory. They are created only on demand (when a user opens the dialog) and are deleted as soon as the user closes the dialog. There can be multiple designer dialogs open at any one time, and each is a separate instance of the dialog and QgsLayoutDesignerInterface. Accordingly, plugins must take care to react to newly created designer dialogs and apply their customizations to all newly created dialogs. This can be done by listening for the QgisInterface::layoutDesignerOpened signal. Plugins must also listen for the QgisInterface::layoutDesignerWillBeClosed signal and gracefully cleanup any customizations before the designer dialog is deleted.
