Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Flags

Definition at line 57 of file qgslayoutrendercontext.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Flag

Flags for controlling how a layout is rendered.

Enumerator
FlagDebug 

Debug/testing mode, items are drawn as solid rectangles.

FlagOutlineOnly 

Render items as outlines only.

FlagAntialiasing 

Use antialiasing when drawing items.

FlagUseAdvancedEffects 

Enable advanced effects such as blend modes.

FlagForceVectorOutput 

Force output in vector format where possible, even if items require rasterization to keep their correct appearance.

FlagHideCoverageLayer 

Hide coverage layer in outputs.

FlagDrawSelection 

Draw selection.

FlagDisableTiledRasterLayerRenders 

If set, then raster layers will not be drawn as separate tiles. This may improve the appearance in exported files, at the cost of much higher memory usage during exports.

FlagRenderLabelsByMapLayer 

When rendering map items to multi-layered exports, render labels belonging to different layers into separate export layers.

FlagLosslessImageRendering 

Render images losslessly whenever possible, instead of the default lossy jpeg rendering used for some destination devices (e.g. PDF).

FlagSynchronousLegendGraphics 

Query legend graphics synchronously.
