static QgsRectangle combinedExtent (const QList< QgsMapLayer * > &layers, const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem &crs, const QgsCoordinateTransformContext &transformContext)
 Returns the combined extent of a list of layers.
static QgsAbstractDatabaseProviderConnection * databaseConnection (const QgsMapLayer *layer)
 Creates and returns the (possibly nullptr) database connection for a layer.
static bool isOpenStreetMapLayer (QgsMapLayer *layer)
 Returns true if the layer is served by OpenStreetMap server.
static QString launderLayerName (const QString &name)
 Launders a layer's name, converting it into a format which is general suitable for file names or database layer names.
static bool layerSourceMatchesPath (const QgsMapLayer *layer, const QString &path)
 Returns true if the source of the specified layer matches the given path.
static QString layerTypeToString (Qgis::LayerType type)
 Returns the translated name of the type for a given layer type.
static QList< QgsMapLayer * > sortLayersByType (const QList< QgsMapLayer * > &layers, const QList< Qgis::LayerType > &order)
 Sorts a list of map layers by their layer type, respecting the order of types specified.
static bool updateLayerSourcePath (QgsMapLayer *layer, const QString &newPath)
 Updates a layer's data source, replacing its data source with a path referring to newPath.

Member Function Documentation

◆ combinedExtent()

QgsRectangle QgsMapLayerUtils::combinedExtent ( const QList< QgsMapLayer * > & layers,
const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem & crs,
const QgsCoordinateTransformContext & transformContext )
static

Returns the combined extent of a list of layers.

The crs argument specifies the desired coordinate reference system for the combined extent.

Definition at line 32 of file qgsmaplayerutils.cpp.

◆ databaseConnection()

QgsAbstractDatabaseProviderConnection * QgsMapLayerUtils::databaseConnection ( const QgsMapLayer * layer)
static

Creates and returns the (possibly nullptr) database connection for a layer.

Ownership is transferred to the caller.

Since
QGIS 3.22

Definition at line 94 of file qgsmaplayerutils.cpp.

◆ isOpenStreetMapLayer()

bool QgsMapLayerUtils::isOpenStreetMapLayer ( QgsMapLayer * layer)
static

Returns true if the layer is served by OpenStreetMap server.

Since
QGIS 3.40

Definition at line 175 of file qgsmaplayerutils.cpp.

◆ launderLayerName()

QString QgsMapLayerUtils::launderLayerName ( const QString & name)
static

Launders a layer's name, converting it into a format which is general suitable for file names or database layer names.

Specifically this method:

  • Converts the name to lowercase
  • Replaces spaces by underscore characters
  • Removes any characters which are not alphanumeric or '_'.

QGIS 3.28

Definition at line 163 of file qgsmaplayerutils.cpp.

◆ layerSourceMatchesPath()

bool QgsMapLayerUtils::layerSourceMatchesPath ( const QgsMapLayer * layer,
const QString & path )
static

Returns true if the source of the specified layer matches the given path.

This method can be used to test whether a layer is associated with a file path.

Since
QGIS 3.22

Definition at line 122 of file qgsmaplayerutils.cpp.

◆ layerTypeToString()

QString QgsMapLayerUtils::layerTypeToString ( Qgis::LayerType type)
static

Returns the translated name of the type for a given layer type.

Since
QGIS 4.0

Definition at line 192 of file qgsmaplayerutils.cpp.

◆ sortLayersByType()

QList< QgsMapLayer * > QgsMapLayerUtils::sortLayersByType ( const QList< QgsMapLayer * > & layers,
const QList< Qgis::LayerType > & order )
static

Sorts a list of map layers by their layer type, respecting the order of types specified.

Layer types which appear earlier in the order list will result in matching layers appearing earlier in the result list.

Since
QGIS 3.26

Definition at line 146 of file qgsmaplayerutils.cpp.

◆ updateLayerSourcePath()

bool QgsMapLayerUtils::updateLayerSourcePath ( QgsMapLayer * layer,
const QString & newPath )
static

Updates a layer's data source, replacing its data source with a path referring to newPath.

Returns true if the layer was updated, or false if the layer was not updated (e.g. it uses a data provider which does not specify paths in a layer URI.
