Detailed Description

The QgsAbstractLabelProvider class is an interface class.

Implementations return list of labels and their associated geometries - these are used by QgsLabelingEngineV2 to compute the final layout of labels.

Implementations also take care of drawing the returned final label positions.

Note
this class is not a part of public API yet. See notes in QgsLabelingEngineV2
not available in Python bindings
added in QGIS 2.12

Member Enumeration Documentation

Enumerator
DrawLabels 

whether the labels should be rendered

DrawAllLabels 

whether all features will be labelled even though overlaps occur

MergeConnectedLines 

whether adjacent lines (with the same label text) should be merged

CentroidMustBeInside 

whether location of centroid must be inside of polygons

FitInPolygonOnly 

whether labels must fall completely within the polygon

LabelPerFeaturePart 

whether to label each part of multi-part features separately
