Detailed Description

Layer tree custom node serves as a node for objects that are not layers nor groups.

They are created, and can be found based on a node ID, which should be unique in the whole layer tree.

Since: QGIS 4.0

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsLayerTreeCustomNode() [1/2]

QgsLayerTreeCustomNode::QgsLayerTreeCustomNode	(	const QString &	nodeId,
		const QString &	nodeName = QString(),
		bool	checked = true )

explicit

Constructor to create custom nodes that represent application objects other than layers and groups.

Parameters

nodeId	Unique identifier of the custom node.
nodeName	Optional name of the custom node.
checked	Whether the custom node should be checked or not once it is created.

Definition at line 24 of file qgslayertreecustomnode.cpp.

◆ QgsLayerTreeCustomNode() [2/2]

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

QgsLayerTreeCustomNode * QgsLayerTreeCustomNode::clone ( ) const

overridevirtual

Create a copy of the node. Returns new instance.

Implements QgsLayerTreeNode.

Definition at line 85 of file qgslayertreecustomnode.cpp.

◆ dump()

QString QgsLayerTreeCustomNode::dump ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns string with layer tree structure. For debug purposes only.

Implements QgsLayerTreeNode.

Definition at line 80 of file qgslayertreecustomnode.cpp.

◆ name()

QString QgsLayerTreeCustomNode::name ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the node's name.

Implements QgsLayerTreeNode.

Definition at line 38 of file qgslayertreecustomnode.cpp.

◆ nodeId()

QString QgsLayerTreeCustomNode::nodeId ( ) const

inline

Returns the node's unique identifier.

Definition at line 65 of file qgslayertreecustomnode.h.

◆ readXml()

QgsLayerTreeCustomNode * QgsLayerTreeCustomNode::readXml	(	const QDomElement &	element,
		const QgsReadWriteContext &	context )

static

Read custom node from XML element <layer-tree-custom-node> and return the newly created node (or nullptr on error).

Definition at line 52 of file qgslayertreecustomnode.cpp.

◆ resolveReferences()

void QgsLayerTreeCustomNode::resolveReferences	(	const QgsProject *	project,
		bool	looseMatching = false )

overridevirtual

Turn textual references to layers into map layer object from project.

This method should be called after readXml() If looseMatching is true then a looser match will be used, where a layer will match if the name, public source, and data provider match. This can be used to match legend customization from different projects where layers will have different layer IDs.

Implements QgsLayerTreeNode.

Definition at line 90 of file qgslayertreecustomnode.cpp.

◆ setName()

void QgsLayerTreeCustomNode::setName ( const QString & name )

overridevirtual

Sets the node's name.

Implements QgsLayerTreeNode.

Definition at line 43 of file qgslayertreecustomnode.cpp.

◆ writeXml()

void QgsLayerTreeCustomNode::writeXml	(	QDomElement &	parentElement,
		const QgsReadWriteContext &	context )

overridevirtual

Write custom node as XML element <layer-tree-custom-node> and add it to the given parent element.

Implements QgsLayerTreeNode.
