◆ applyDashPattern()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::applyDashPattern ( const QVector< double > &  pattern,
Qgis::DashPatternLineEndingRule  startRule = Qgis::DashPatternLineEndingRule::NoRule,
Qgis::DashPatternLineEndingRule  endRule = Qgis::DashPatternLineEndingRule::NoRule,
Qgis::DashPatternSizeAdjustment  adjustment = Qgis::DashPatternSizeAdjustment::ScaleBothDashAndGap,
double  patternOffset = 0 
) const

Applies a dash pattern to a geometry, returning a MultiLineString geometry which is the input geometry stroked along each line/ring with the specified pattern.

The startRule and endRule options can be set to control how the dash pattern is adjusted at line endings. If a startRule or endRule is set, the adjustment option defines whether both dash and gaps, or only dash or gap sizes are adjusted to apply the rules.

The patternOffset option specifies how far along the pattern the result should start at. The offset is applied AFTER any start/end rules are applied.

◆ convertToCurves()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::convertToCurves ( double  distanceTolerance,
double  angleTolerance 
) const

Attempts to convert a non-curved geometry into a curved geometry type (e.g.

LineString to CompoundCurve, Polygon to CurvePolygon).

The distanceTolerance specifies the maximum deviation allowed between the original location of vertices and where they would fall on the candidate curved geometry.

This method only consider a segments as suitable for replacing with an arc if the points are all regularly spaced on the candidate arc. The pointSpacingAngleTolerance parameter specifies the maximum angular deviation (in radians) allowed when testing for regular point spacing.

Note
The API is considered EXPERIMENTAL and can be changed without a notice

◆ densifyByCount()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::densifyByCount ( int  extraNodesPerSegment) const

Densifies the geometry by adding the specified number of extra nodes within each segment of the geometry.

If the geometry has z or m values present then these will be linearly interpolated at the added nodes. Curved geometry types are automatically segmentized by this routine.

Definition at line 800 of file qgsinternalgeometryengine.cpp.

◆ densifyByDistance()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::densifyByDistance ( double  distance) const

Densifies the geometry by adding regularly placed extra nodes inside each segment so that the maximum distance between any two nodes does not exceed the specified distance.

E.g. specifying a distance 3 would cause the segment [0 0] -> [10 0] to be converted to [0 0] -> [2.5 0] -> [5 0] -> [7.5 0] -> [10 0], since 3 extra nodes are required on the segment and spacing these at 2.5 increments allows them to be evenly spaced over the segment. If the geometry has z or m values present then these will be linearly interpolated at the added nodes. Curved geometry types are automatically segmentized by this routine.

Definition at line 836 of file qgsinternalgeometryengine.cpp.

◆ extrude()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::extrude ( double  x,
double  y 
) const

Will extrude a line or (segmentized) curve by a given offset and return a polygon representation of it.

Parameters
xoffset in x direction
yoffset in y direction
Returns
an extruded polygon

Definition at line 190 of file qgsinternalgeometryengine.cpp.

◆ isAxisParallelRectangle()

bool QgsInternalGeometryEngine::isAxisParallelRectangle ( double  maximumDeviation,
bool  simpleRectanglesOnly = false 
) const

Returns true if the geometry is a polygon that is almost an axis-parallel rectangle.

The maximumDeviation argument specifes the maximum angle (in degrees) that the polygon edges are allowed to deviate from axis parallel lines.

By default the check will permit polygons with more than 4 edges, so long as the overall shape of the polygon is an axis-parallel rectangle (i.e. it is tolerant to rectangles with additional vertices added along the rectangle sides). If simpleRectanglesOnly is set to true then the method will only return true if the geometry is a simple rectangle consisting of 4 edges.

◆ lastError()

QString QgsInternalGeometryEngine::lastError ( ) const

Returns an error string referring to the last error encountered.

QGIS 3.16

Definition at line 46 of file qgsinternalgeometryengine.cpp.

◆ orientedMinimumBoundingBox()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::orientedMinimumBoundingBox ( double &  area,
double &  angle,
double &  width,
double &  height 
) const

Returns the oriented minimum bounding box for the geometry, which is the smallest (by area) rotated rectangle which fully encompasses the geometry.

The area, angle of the long axis (clockwise in degrees from North), width and height of the rotated bounding box will also be returned.

If an error was encountered while creating the result, more information can be retrieved by calling lastError().

◆ orthogonalize()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::orthogonalize ( double  tolerance = 1.0E-8,
int  maxIterations = 1000,
double  angleThreshold = 15.0 
) const

Attempts to orthogonalize a line or polygon geometry by shifting vertices to make the geometries angles either right angles or flat lines.

This is an iterative algorithm which will loop until either the vertices are within a specified tolerance of right angles or a set number of maximum iterations is reached. The angle threshold parameter specifies how close to a right angle or straight line an angle must be before it is attempted to be straightened.

Definition at line 642 of file qgsinternalgeometryengine.cpp.

◆ poleOfInaccessibility()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::poleOfInaccessibility ( double  precision,
double *  distanceFromBoundary = nullptr 
) const

Calculates the approximate pole of inaccessibility for a surface, which is the most distant internal point from the boundary of the surface.

This function uses the 'polylabel' algorithm (Vladimir Agafonkin, 2016), which is an iterative approach guaranteed to find the true pole of inaccessibility within a specified tolerance. More precise tolerances require more iterations and will take longer to calculate. Optionally, the distance to the polygon boundary from the pole can be stored.

Definition at line 381 of file qgsinternalgeometryengine.cpp.

◆ randomPointsInPolygon()

QVector< QgsPointXY > QgsInternalGeometryEngine::randomPointsInPolygon ( int  count,
const std::function< bool(const QgsPointXY &) > &  acceptPoint,
unsigned long  seed = 0,
QgsFeedback feedback = nullptr,
int  maxTriesPerPoint = 0 
)

Returns a list of count random points generated inside a polygon geometry (if acceptPoint is specified, and restrictive, the number of points returned may be less than count).

Optionally, a specific random seed can be used when generating points. If seed is 0, then a completely random sequence of points will be generated.

The acceptPoint function is used to filter result candidates. If the function returns false, then the point will not be accepted and another candidate generated.

The optional feedback argument can be used to provide cancellation support during the point generation.

When acceptPoint is specified, maxTriesPerPoint defines how many attempts to perform before giving up generating a point.

◆ roundWaves()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::roundWaves ( double  wavelength,
double  amplitude,
bool  strictWavelength = false 
) const

Constructs rounded (sine-like) waves along the boundary of the geometry, with the specified wavelength and amplitude.

By default the wavelength argument is treated as a "maximum wavelength", where the actual wavelength will be dynamically adjusted so that an exact number of waves are created along the boundaries of the geometry. If strictWavelength is set to true then the wavelength will be used exactly and an incomplete pattern may be used for the final waveform.

◆ roundWavesRandomized()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::roundWavesRandomized ( double  minimumWavelength,
double  maximumWavelength,
double  minimumAmplitude,
double  maximumAmplitude,
unsigned long  seed = 0 
) const

Constructs randomized rounded (sine-like) waves along the boundary of the geometry, with the specified wavelength and amplitude ranges.

The minimumWavelength and maximumWavelength arguments set the range for the randomized wavelength. This is evaluated for each individual waveform created along the geometry boundaries, so the resultant geometry will consist of many different wavelengths.

Similarly, the minimumAmplitude and maximumAmplitude arguments define the range for the randomized amplitude of the square components. Randomized amplitude values will be calculated individually for waves placed on each either side of the input geometry boundaries.

Optionally, a specific random seed can be used when generating points. If seed is 0, then a completely random sequence of points will be generated.

◆ squareWavesRandomized()

double  minimumAmplitude,
double  maximumAmplitude,
unsigned long  seed = 0 
) const

Constructs randomized square waves along the boundary of the geometry, with the specified wavelength and amplitude ranges.

The minimumWavelength and maximumWavelength arguments set the range for the randomized wavelength. This is evaluated for each individual square waveform created along the geometry boundaries, so the resultant geometry will consist of many different wavelengths.

Similarly, the minimumAmplitude and maximumAmplitude arguments define the range for the randomized amplitude of the square components. Randomized amplitude values will be calculated individiually for squares placed on each either side of the input geometry boundaries.

Optionally, a specific random seed can be used when generating points. If seed is 0, then a completely random sequence of points will be generated.

◆ taperedBuffer()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::taperedBuffer ( double  startWidth,
double  endWidth,
int  segments 
) const

Calculates a tapered width buffer for a (multi)curve geometry.

The buffer begins at a width of startWidth at the start of each curve, and ends at a width of endWidth. Note that unlike QgsGeometry::buffer() methods, startWidth and endWidth are the diameter of the buffer at these points, not the radius.

The segments argument specifies the number of segments to approximate quarter-circle curves in the buffer.

Non (multi)curve input geometries will return a null output geometry.

◆ triangularWaves()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::triangularWaves ( double  wavelength,

) const

Constructs triangular waves along the boundary of the geometry, with the specified wavelength and amplitude.

By default the wavelength argument is treated as a "maximum wavelength", where the actual wavelength will be dynamically adjusted so that an exact number of triangular waves are created along the boundaries of the geometry. If strictWavelength is set to true then the wavelength will be used exactly and an incomplete pattern may be used for the final waveform.

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::triangularWavesRandomized ( double  minimumWavelength,
double  maximumWavelength,
double  minimumAmplitude,
double  maximumAmplitude,
unsigned long  seed = 0 
) const

Constructs randomized triangular waves along the boundary of the geometry, with the specified wavelength and amplitude ranges.

The minimumWavelength and maximumWavelength arguments set the range for the randomized wavelength. This is evaluated for each individual triangular waveform created along the geometry boundaries, so the resultant geometry will consist of many different wavelengths.

Similarly, the minimumAmplitude and maximumAmplitude arguments define the range for the randomized amplitude of the triangular components. Randomized amplitude values will be calculated individiually for triangles placed on each either side of the input geometry boundaries.

Optionally, a specific random seed can be used when generating points. If seed is 0, then a completely random sequence of points will be generated.

◆ variableWidthBuffer()

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::variableWidthBuffer ( int  segments,
const std::function< std::unique_ptr< double[] >(const QgsLineString *line) > &  widthFunction 
) const

Calculates a variable width buffer for a (multi)curve geometry.

The width of the buffer at each node in the input linestrings is calculated by calling the specified widthFunction, which must return an array of the buffer widths for every node in the line.

The segments argument specifies the number of segments to approximate quarter-circle curves in the buffer.

Non (multi)curve input geometries will return a null output geometry.

QgsGeometry QgsInternalGeometryEngine::variableWidthBufferByM ( int  segments) const
