Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsPointLocator()

QgsPointLocator::QgsPointLocator	(	QgsVectorLayer *	layer,
		const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem &	destinationCrs = `QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem()`,
		const QgsCoordinateTransformContext &	transformContext = `QgsCoordinateTransformContext()`,
		const QgsRectangle *	extent = `nullptr`
	)

explicit

Construct point locator for a layer.

If a valid QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem is passed for destinationCrs then the locator will do the searches on data reprojected to the given CRS. For accurate reprojection it is important to set the correct transformContext if a destinationCrs is specified. This is usually taken from the current QgsProject::transformContext().

If extent is not nullptr, the locator will index only a subset of the layer which falls within that extent.

		bool	relaxed = `false`
	)

		QgsPointLocator::MatchFilter *	filter = `nullptr`,
		bool	relaxed = `false`
	)

Find edges within a specified rectangle Optional filter may discard unwanted matches.

This method is either blocking or non blocking according to relaxed parameter passed

Definition at line 1437 of file qgspointlocator.cpp.

◆ extent()

const QgsRectangle * QgsPointLocator::extent ( ) const

inline

Gets extent of the area point locator covers - if nullptr then it caches the whole layer.

Definition at line 134 of file qgspointlocator.h.

◆ hasIndex()

bool QgsPointLocator::hasIndex ( ) const

Indicate whether the data have been already indexed.

Definition at line 1019 of file qgspointlocator.cpp.

◆ init()

bool QgsPointLocator::init	(	int	maxFeaturesToIndex = `-1`,
		bool	relaxed = `false`
	)

Prepare the index for queries.

Does nothing if the index already exists. If the number of features is greater than the value of maxFeaturesToIndex, creation of index is stopped to make sure we do not run out of memory. If maxFeaturesToIndex is -1, no limits are used.

This method is either blocking or non blocking according to relaxed parameter passed in the constructor. if true, index building will be done in another thread and init() method returns immediately. initFinished() signal will be emitted once the initialization is over.

Returns false if the creation of index is blocking and has been prematurely stopped due to the limit of features, otherwise true

Definition at line 969 of file qgspointlocator.cpp.
