Detailed Description

An abstract QgsProcessingAlgorithm base class for processing algorithms which operate "feature-by-feature".

Feature based algorithms are algorithms which operate on individual features in isolation. These are algorithms where one feature is output for each input feature, and the output feature result for each input feature is not dependent on any other features present in the source.

For instance, algorithms like "centroids" and "buffers" are feature based algorithms since the centroid or buffer of a feature is calculated for each feature in isolation. An algorithm like "dissolve" is NOT suitable for a feature based algorithm as the dissolved output depends on multiple input features and these features cannot be processed in isolation.

Using QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm as the base class for feature based algorithms allows shortcutting much of the common algorithm code for handling iterating over sources and pushing features to output sinks. It also allows the algorithm execution to be optimised in future (for instance allowing automatic multi-thread processing of the algorithm, or use of the algorithm in "chains", avoiding the need for temporary outputs in multi-step models).

Member Function Documentation

◆ flags()

Qgis::ProcessingAlgorithmFlags QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::flags ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns the flags indicating how and when the algorithm operates and should be exposed to users.

Default flags are FlagSupportsBatch and FlagCanCancel.

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingAlgorithm.

Definition at line 1042 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ initAlgorithm()

void QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::initAlgorithm ( const QVariantMap &  configuration = QVariantMap())
overrideprotectedvirtual

Initializes the algorithm using the specified configuration.

This should be called directly after creating algorithms and before retrieving any parameterDefinitions() or outputDefinitions().

Subclasses should use their implementations to add all required input parameter and output definitions (which can be dynamically adjusted according to configuration).

Dynamic configuration can be used by algorithms which alter their behavior when used inside processing models. For instance, a "feature router" type algorithm which sends input features to one of any number of outputs sinks based on some preconfigured filter parameters can use the init method to create these outputs based on the specified configuration.

Implements QgsProcessingAlgorithm.

Definition at line 1049 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ initParameters()

void QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::initParameters ( const QVariantMap &  configuration = QVariantMap())
protectedvirtual

Initializes any extra parameters added by the algorithm subclass.

There is no need to declare the input source or output sink, as these are automatically created by QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in QgsBatchGeocodeAlgorithm.

Definition at line 1101 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ inputLayerTypes()

QList< int > QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::inputLayerTypes ( ) const
protectedvirtual

Returns the valid input layer types for the source layer for this algorithm.

By default vector layers with any geometry types (excluding non-spatial, geometryless layers) are accepted.

Reimplemented in QgsBatchGeocodeAlgorithm.

Definition at line 1066 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ inputParameterDescription()

QString QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::inputParameterDescription ( ) const
protectedvirtual

Returns the translated description of the parameter corresponding to the input layer.

By default this is a translated "Input layer" string.

Since
QGIS 3.12

Definition at line 1061 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ inputParameterName()

QString QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::inputParameterName ( ) const
protectedvirtual

Returns the name of the parameter corresponding to the input layer.

By default this is the standard "INPUT" parameter name.

Since
QGIS 3.12

Definition at line 1056 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ outputCrs()

QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::outputCrs ( const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem inputCrs) const
protectedvirtual

Maps the input source coordinate reference system (inputCrs) to a corresponding output CRS generated by the algorithm.

The default behavior is that the algorithm maintains the same CRS as the input source.

This is called once by the base class when creating the output sink for the algorithm (i.e. it is not called once per feature processed).

Reimplemented in QgsBatchGeocodeAlgorithm.

Definition at line 1096 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ outputFields()

QgsFields QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::outputFields ( const QgsFields inputFields) const
protectedvirtual

Maps the input source fields (inputFields) to corresponding output fields generated by the algorithm.

The default behavior is that the algorithm maintains the same fields as are input. Algorithms which add, remove or modify existing fields should override this method and implement logic here to indicate which fields are output by the algorithm.

This is called once by the base class when creating the output sink for the algorithm (i.e. it is not called once per feature processed).

Reimplemented in QgsBatchGeocodeAlgorithm.

Definition at line 1091 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ outputLayerType()

Qgis::ProcessingSourceType QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::outputLayerType ( ) const
protectedvirtual

Returns the layer type for layers generated by this algorithm, if this is possible to determine in advance.

Definition at line 1071 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ outputName()

virtual QString QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::outputName ( ) const
protectedpure virtual

Returns the translated, user visible name for any layers created by this algorithm.

This name will be used as the default name when loading the resultant layer into a QGIS project.

Implemented in QgsBatchGeocodeAlgorithm.

◆ outputWkbType()

Qgis::WkbType QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::outputWkbType ( Qgis::WkbType  inputWkbType) const
protectedvirtual

Maps the input WKB geometry type (inputWkbType) to the corresponding output WKB type generated by the algorithm.

The default behavior is that the algorithm maintains the same WKB type. This is called once by the base class when creating the output sink for the algorithm (i.e. it is not called once per feature processed).

Reimplemented in QgsBatchGeocodeAlgorithm.

Definition at line 1086 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ prepareSource()

void QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::prepareSource ( const QVariantMap &  parameters,
QgsProcessingContext context 
)
protected

Read the source from parameters and context and set it.

Since
QGIS 3.4

Definition at line 1199 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ processAlgorithm()

QVariantMap QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::processAlgorithm ( const QVariantMap &  parameters,
QgsProcessingContext context,
QgsProcessingFeedback feedback 
)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Runs the algorithm using the specified parameters.

Algorithms should implement their custom processing logic here.

The context argument gives a temporary context with thread affinity matching the thread in which the algorithm is being run. This is a cut-back copy of the context passed to the prepareAlgorithm() and postProcessAlgorithm() steps, but it is generally safe for most algorithms to utilize this context for loading layers and creating sinks. Any loaded layers or sinks created within this temporary context will be transferred back to the main execution context upon successful completion of the processAlgorithm() step.

Algorithm progress should be reported using the supplied feedback object. Additionally, well-behaved algorithms should periodically check feedback to determine whether the algorithm should be canceled and exited early.

This method will not be called if the prepareAlgorithm() step failed (returned false).

Implementations of processAlgorithm can throw the QgsProcessingException exception to indicate that a fatal error occurred within the execution.

Returns
A map of algorithm outputs. These may be output layer references, or calculated values such as statistical calculations. Unless the algorithm subclass overrides the postProcessAlgorithm() step this returned map will be used as the output for the algorithm.

postProcessAlgorithm()

Implements QgsProcessingAlgorithm.

Definition at line 1113 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ processFeature()

virtual QgsFeatureList QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::processFeature ( const QgsFeature feature,
QgsProcessingContext context,
QgsProcessingFeedback feedback 
)
pure virtual

Processes an individual input feature from the source.

Algorithms should implement their logic in this method for performing the algorithm's operation (e.g. replacing the feature's geometry with the centroid of the original feature geometry for a 'centroid' type algorithm).

Implementations should return a list containing the modified feature. Returning an empty an list will indicate that this feature should be 'skipped', and will not be added to the algorithm's output. Subclasses can use this approach to filter the incoming features as desired.

Additionally, multiple features can be returned for a single input feature. Each returned feature will be added to the algorithm's output. This allows for "explode" type algorithms where a single input feature results in multiple output features.

The provided feedback object can be used to push messages to the log and for giving feedback to users. Note that handling of progress reports and algorithm cancellation is handled by the base class and subclasses do not need to reimplement this logic.

Algorithms can throw a QgsProcessingException if a fatal error occurred which should prevent the algorithm execution from continuing. This can be annoying for users though as it can break valid model execution - so use with extreme caution, and consider using feedback to instead report non-fatal processing failures for features instead.

Implemented in QgsBatchGeocodeAlgorithm.

◆ request()

QgsFeatureRequest QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::request ( ) const
protectedvirtual

Returns the feature request used for fetching features to process from the source layer.

The default implementation requests all attributes and geometry.

Definition at line 1165 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ sinkFlags()

QgsFeatureSink::SinkFlags QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::sinkFlags ( ) const
protectedvirtual

Returns the feature sink flags to be used for the output.

Since
QGIS 3.4.1

Definition at line 1081 of file qgsprocessingalgorithm.cpp.

◆ sinkProperties()

QgsProcessingAlgorithm::VectorProperties QgsProcessingFeatureBasedAlgorithm::sinkProperties ( const QString &  sink,
const QVariantMap &  parameters,
QgsProcessingContext context,
const QMap< QString, QgsProcessingAlgorithm::VectorProperties > &  sourceProperties 
) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Returns the vector properties which will be used for the sink with matching name.

The parameters argument specifies the values of all parameters which would be used to generate the sink. These can be used alongside the provided context in order to pre-evaluate inputs when required in order to determine the sink's properties.

The sourceProperties map will contain the vector properties of the various sources used as inputs to the algorithm. These will only be available in certain circumstances (e.g. when the algorithm is used within a model), so implementations will need to be adaptable to circumstances when either sourceParameters is empty or parameters is empty, and use whatever information is passed in order to make a best guess determination of the output properties.
