Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

QgsSymbolLayer * QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::clone ( ) const

overridevirtual

Shall be reimplemented by subclasses to create a deep copy of the instance.

Implements QgsSymbolLayer.

Definition at line 181 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.

◆ color()

QColor QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::color ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the "representative" color of the symbol layer.

Depending on the symbol layer type, this will have different meaning. For instance, a line symbol layer will generally return the stroke color of the layer, while a fill symbol layer will return the "fill" color instead of stroke.

Some symbol layer types will return an invalid QColor if they have no representative color associated (e.g. raster image based symbol layers).

See also: setColor(); strokeColor(); fillColor()

overridevirtual

Will always return true.

This is a hybrid layer, it constructs its own geometry so it does not care about the geometry of its parents.

Reimplemented from QgsSymbolLayer.

Definition at line 321 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.

◆ layerType()

QString QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::layerType ( ) const

overridevirtual

Definition at line 170 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.

◆ outputUnit()

Qgis::RenderUnit QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::outputUnit ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the units to use for sizes and widths within the symbol layer.

Individual symbol layer subclasses will interpret this in different ways, e.g., a marker symbol layer may use it to specify the units for the marker size, while a line symbol layer may use it to specify the units for the line width.

Returns: output unit, or QgsUnitTypes::RenderUnknownUnit if the symbol layer contains mixed units

Definition at line 201 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.

◆ render()

void QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::render	(	QgsSymbolRenderContext &	context,
		Qgis::GeometryType	geometryType = `Qgis::GeometryType::Unknown`,
		const QPolygonF *	points = `nullptr`,
		const QVector< QPolygonF > *	rings = `nullptr`
	)

Will render this symbol layer using the context.

In comparison to other symbols there is no geometry passed in, since the geometry will be created based on information from the context which contains a QgsRenderContext which in turn contains an expression context which is available to the evaluated expression.

Parameters

context	The rendering context which will be used to render and to construct a geometry.
geometryType	type of original geometry being rendered by the parent symbol (since QGIS 3.22)
points	optional list of original points which are being rendered by the parent symbol (since QGIS 3.22)

Definition at line 384 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.

◆ setColor()

void QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::setColor ( const QColor & color )

overridevirtual

Sets the "representative" color for the symbol layer.

Depending on the symbol layer type, this will have different meaning. For instance, a line symbol layer will generally set the stroke color of the layer, while a fill symbol layer will set the "fill" color instead of stroke.

See also: color(); setStrokeColor(); setFillColor()

Reimplemented from QgsSymbolLayer.

Definition at line 520 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.

◆ setOutputUnit()

void QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::setOutputUnit ( Qgis::RenderUnit unit )

overridevirtual

Sets the units to use for sizes and widths within the symbol layer.

Individual symbol layer subclasses will interpret this in different ways, e.g., a marker symbol layer may use it to specify the units for the marker size, while a line symbol layer may use it to specify the units for the line width.

Parameters

unit	output units

See also: outputUnit()

Reimplemented from QgsSymbolLayer.

Definition at line 160 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.

◆ setSubSymbol()

bool QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::setSubSymbol ( QgsSymbol * symbol )

overridevirtual

Reimplemented from QgsSymbolLayer.

Definition at line 281 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.

◆ setSymbolType()

void QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::setSymbolType ( Qgis::SymbolType symbolType )

Set the type of symbol which should be created.

Should match with the return type of the expression.

Parameters

symbolType The symbol type which shall be used below this symbol.

Definition at line 72 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.

◆ setUnits()

void QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::setUnits ( Qgis::RenderUnit units )

inline

Sets the units for the geometry expression.

By default this is QgsUnitTypes::MapUnits, which means that the geometryExpression() will return geometries in the associated layer's CRS.

See also: units()

Since: QGIS 3.22

Definition at line 104 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.h.

◆ startFeatureRender()

void QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::startFeatureRender	(	const QgsFeature &	feature,
		QgsRenderContext &	context
	)

overridevirtual

Called before the layer will be rendered for a particular feature.

This is always followed by a call to stopFeatureRender() after the feature has been completely rendered (i.e. all parts have been rendered).

The default implementation does nothing.

Note: In some circumstances, startFeatureRender() and stopFeatureRender() may not be called before a symbol layer is rendered. E.g., when a symbol layer is being rendered in isolation and not as a result of rendering a feature (for instance, when rendering a legend patch or other non-feature based shape).

See also: stopFeatureRender(); startRender()

Since: QGIS 3.12

Reimplemented from QgsSymbolLayer.

Definition at line 113 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.

◆ startRender()

void QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::startRender ( QgsSymbolRenderContext & context )

overridevirtual

Called before a set of rendering operations commences on the supplied render context.

This is always followed by a call to stopRender() after all rendering operations have been completed.

Subclasses can use this method to prepare for a set of rendering operations, e.g. by pre-evaluating paths or images to render, and performing other one-time optimisations.

See also: startFeatureRender(); stopRender()

Implements QgsSymbolLayer.

Definition at line 98 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.

◆ stopFeatureRender()

void QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::stopFeatureRender	(	const QgsFeature &	feature,
		QgsRenderContext &	context
	)

overridevirtual

Called after the layer has been rendered for a particular feature.

This is always preceded by a call to startFeatureRender() just before the feature will be rendered.

The default implementation does nothing.

Note: In some circumstances, startFeatureRender() and stopFeatureRender() may not be called before a symbol layer is rendered. E.g., when a symbol layer is being rendered in isolation and not as a result of rendering a feature (for instance, when rendering a legend patch or other non-feature based shape).

See also: startFeatureRender(); stopRender()

Since: QGIS 3.12

Reimplemented from QgsSymbolLayer.

Definition at line 122 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.

◆ stopRender()

void QgsGeometryGeneratorSymbolLayer::stopRender ( QgsSymbolRenderContext & context )

overridevirtual

Called after a set of rendering operations has finished on the supplied render context.

This is always preceded by a call to startRender() before all rendering operations are commenced.

Subclasses can use this method to cleanup after a set of rendering operations.

See also: startRender(); stopFeatureRender()

Implements QgsSymbolLayer.

Definition at line 107 of file qgsgeometrygeneratorsymbollayer.cpp.
