Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer()

QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer ( const QString &  name,
const QString &  description = QString(),
const QVariant &  defaultValue = QVariant(),
bool  optional = false,
const QList< int > &  types = QList< int >() 
)

Constructor for QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer.

Definition at line 3130 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ asPythonString()

QString QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::asPythonString ( QgsProcessing::PythonOutputType  outputType = QgsProcessing::PythonOutputType::PythonQgsProcessingAlgorithmSubclass) const
overridevirtual

Returns the parameter definition as a Python command which can be used within a Python Processing script.

The outputType argument specifies the desired output format for the Python string, i.e. the intended end use of the generated Python code.

Since
QGIS 3.6

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3359 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ asScriptCode()

QString QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::asScriptCode ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns the parameter definition encoded in a string which can be used within a Processing script.

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3237 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ checkValueIsAcceptable()

bool QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::checkValueIsAcceptable ( const QVariant &  input,
QgsProcessingContext context = nullptr 
) const
overridevirtual

Checks whether the specified input value is acceptable for the parameter.

Returns true if the value can be accepted. The optional context parameter can be specified to allow a more stringent check to be performed, capable of checking for the presence of required layers and other factors within the context.

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3142 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ clone()

QgsProcessingParameterDefinition * QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::clone ( ) const
overridevirtual

Creates a clone of the parameter definition.

Implements QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3137 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ createFileFilter()

QString QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::createFileFilter ( ) const
overridevirtual

This method needs to be reimplemented in all classes which implement this interface and return a file filter.

Implements QgsFileFilterGenerator.

Definition at line 3232 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ fromScriptCode()

QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer * QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::fromScriptCode ( const QString &  name,
const QString &  description,
bool  isOptional,
const QString &  definition 
)
static

Creates a new parameter using the definition from a script code.

Definition at line 3293 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ fromVariantMap()

bool QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::fromVariantMap ( const QVariantMap &  map)
overridevirtual

Restores this parameter to a QVariantMap.

Subclasses should ensure that they call the base class method.

See also
toVariantMap()

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3404 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ toVariantMap()

QVariantMap QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::toVariantMap ( ) const
overridevirtual

Saves this parameter to a QVariantMap.

Subclasses should ensure that they call the base class method and then extend the result with additional properties.

See also
fromVariantMap()

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3392 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ type()

QString QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::type ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Unique parameter type name.

Implements QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 2974 of file qgsprocessingparameters.h.

◆ typeName()

static QString QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::typeName ( )
inlinestatic

Returns the type name for the parameter class.

Definition at line 2972 of file qgsprocessingparameters.h.

◆ valueAsJsonObject()

QVariant QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::valueAsJsonObject ( const QVariant &  value,
QgsProcessingContext context 
) const
overridevirtual

Returns a version of the parameter input value, which is suitable for use in a JSON object.

This method must return only simple values which can be losslessly encapsulated in a serialized JSON map. For instance, any QGIS class values (such as QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem) must be converted to a simple string or numeric value equivalent.

valueAsString()
Since
QGIS 3.24

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3200 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ valueAsPythonString()

QString QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::valueAsPythonString ( const QVariant &  value,
QgsProcessingContext context 
) const
overridevirtual

Returns a string version of the parameter input value, which is suitable for use as an input parameter value when running an algorithm directly from a Python command.

See also
valueAsJsonObject()
valueAsString()

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3180 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ valueAsString()

QString QgsProcessingParameterMapLayer::valueAsString ( const QVariant &  value,
QgsProcessingContext context,
bool &  ok 
) const
overridevirtual

Returns a string version of the parameter input value (if possible).

Parameters
valuevalue to convert
contextprocessing context
okwill be set to true if value could be represented as a string.
Returns
value converted to string
