Member Function Documentation

createLayerTreeModelLegendNodes()

virtual QList< QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode * > QgsMapLayerLegend::createLayerTreeModelLegendNodes ( QgsLayerTreeLayer *  nodeLayer )

pure virtual

Returns list of legend nodes to be used for a particular layer tree layer node.

Ownership is transferred to the caller.

Implemented in QgsDefaultVectorLayerLegend, QgsDefaultRasterLayerLegend, QgsDefaultMeshLayerLegend, and QgsDefaultPointCloudLayerLegend.

defaultMeshLegend()

QgsMapLayerLegend * QgsMapLayerLegend::defaultMeshLegend ( QgsMeshLayer *  ml )

static

Create new legend implementation for mesh layer.

Definition at line 65 of file qgsmaplayerlegend.cpp.

defaultPointCloudLegend()

QgsMapLayerLegend * QgsMapLayerLegend::defaultPointCloudLegend ( QgsPointCloudLayer *  layer )

static

Create new legend implementation for a point cloud layer.

Since

QGIS 3.18
