Detailed Description

Implements a map layer that is dedicated to rendering of vector tiles.

Vector tiles compared to "ordinary" vector layers are pre-processed data optimized for fast rendering. A dataset is provided with a series of zoom levels for different map scales. Each zoom level has a matrix of tiles that contain actual data. A single vector tile may be a a file stored on a local drive, requested over HTTP request or retrieved from a database.

Content of a vector tile is divided into one or more named sub-layers. Each such sub-layer may contain many features which consist of geometry and attributes. Contrary to traditional vector layers, these sub-layers do not need to have a rigid schema where geometry type and attributes are the same for all features. A single sub-layer may have multiple geometry types in a single tile or have some attributes defined only at particular zoom levels.

Vector tile layer currently does not use the concept of data providers that other layer types use. The process of rendering of vector tiles looks like this:

+-----—+ +---—+ +------—+ | DATA | | RAW | | DECODED | | | --> LOADER --> | | --> DECODER --> | | --> RENDERER | SOURCE | | TILE | | TILE | +-----—+ +---—+ +------—+

Data source is a place from where tiles are fetched from (URL for HTTP access, local files, MBTiles file, GeoPackage file or others. Loader (QgsVectorTileLoader) class takes care of loading data from the data source. The "raw tile" data is just a blob (QByteArray) that is encoded in some way. There are multiple ways how vector tiles are encoded just like there are different formats how to store images. For example, tiles can be encoded using Mapbox Vector Tiles (MVT) format or in GeoJSON. Decoder (QgsVectorTileDecoder) takes care of decoding raw tile data into QgsFeature objects. A decoded tile is essentially an array of vector features for each sub-layer found in the tile - this is what vector tile renderer (QgsVectorTileRenderer) expects and does the map rendering.

To construct a vector tile layer, it is best to use QgsDataSourceUri class and set the following parameters to get a valid encoded URI:
