createItem()

virtual QgsLayoutItem * QgsLayoutItemAbstractMetadata::createItem ( QgsLayout *  layout )

pure virtual

Creates a layout item of this class for a specified layout.

Implemented in QgsLayoutItemMetadata.

resolvePaths()

virtual void QgsLayoutItemAbstractMetadata::resolvePaths ( QVariantMap &  properties, const QgsPathResolver &  pathResolver, bool  saving  )

inlinevirtual

Resolve paths in the item's properties (if there are any paths).

When saving is true, paths are converted from absolute to relative, when saving is false, paths are converted from relative to absolute. This ensures that paths in project files can be relative, but in item instances the paths are always absolute.

Reimplemented in QgsLayoutItemMetadata.

type()

int QgsLayoutItemAbstractMetadata::type ( ) const

inline

Returns the unique item type code for the layout item class.

Definition at line 65 of file qgslayoutitemregistry.h.

visibleName()

QString QgsLayoutItemAbstractMetadata::visibleName ( ) const

inline

Returns a translated, user visible name for the layout item class.
