Detailed Description

Management of styles for use with one map layer.

Stored styles are identified by their names. The manager always keep track of which style of the stored ones is currently active. When the current style is changed, the new style is applied to the associated layer.

The class takes care of updating itself when the layer's current style configuration changes. When some of layer style's properties change (e.g. opacity / colors), the style manager will record them in the currently active style without any extra effort required.

When an instance is created, it creates "default" style (with empty name) recorded from the associated map layer and it is set as the current style. The instance must always contain at least one style (which is the current).

The style which is marked as current has no style data stored in its entry. This is to avoid duplication of data as all data is stored in map layer and can be retrieved easily. Also when saving, the entry for the current style will be saved with no data because everything is already saved by the map layer itself.

The class also features support for temporary change of the layer's style, ideal for short-term use of a custom style followed by restoration of the original style (for example, when rendering a map with a different than current style).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsMapLayerStyleManager()

QgsMapLayerStyleManager::QgsMapLayerStyleManager ( QgsMapLayer layer)

Construct a style manager associated with a map layer (must not be nullptr).

The style manager will be parented to layer.

Definition at line 26 of file qgsmaplayerstylemanager.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addStyle()

bool QgsMapLayerStyleManager::addStyle ( const QString &  name,
const QgsMapLayerStyle style 
)

Add a style with given name and data.

Returns
true on success (name is unique and style is valid)

Definition at line 110 of file qgsmaplayerstylemanager.cpp.

◆ addStyleFromLayer()

bool QgsMapLayerStyleManager::addStyleFromLayer ( const QString &  name)

Add style by cloning the current one.

Returns
true on success

Definition at line 122 of file qgsmaplayerstylemanager.cpp.

◆ copyStylesFrom()
