Detailed Description

This class wraps a request for features to a vector layer (or directly its vector data provider).

The request may apply a filter to fetch only a particular subset of features. Currently supported filters:

For efficiency, it is also possible to tell provider that some data is not required:

The options may be chained, e.g.: QgsFeatureRequest().setFilterRect(QgsRectangle(0,0,1,1)).setFlags(QgsFeatureRequest::ExactIntersect)

Examples:

Member Enumeration Documentation

Enumerator:
FilterNone 

No filter is applied.

FilterRect 

Filter using a rectangle, no need to set NoGeometry.

FilterFid 

Filter using feature ID.

FilterExpression 

Filter using expression.

FilterFids 

Filter using feature IDs.

Enumerator:
NoFlags 
NoGeometry 

Geometry is not required. It may still be returned if e.g. required for a filter condition.

SubsetOfAttributes 

Fetch only a subset of attributes (setSubsetOfAttributes sets this flag)

ExactIntersect 

Use exact geometry intersection (slower) instead of bounding boxes.

Member Function Documentation

bool QgsFeatureRequest::acceptFeature ( const QgsFeature feature)

Check if a feature is accepted by this requests filter.

Parameters
featureThe feature which will be tested
Returns
true, if the filter accepts the feature

QgsExpression}
QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setFilterFid ( QgsFeatureId  fid)

Set feature ID that should be fetched.

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setFilterFids ( QgsFeatureIds  fids)

Set feature ID that should be fetched.

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setFilterRect ( const QgsRectangle rect)

Set rectangle from which features will be taken.

Empty rectangle removes the filter.

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setFlags ( Flags  flags)

Set flags that affect how features will be fetched.

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setSimplifyMethod ( const QgsSimplifyMethod simplifyMethod)

Set a simplification method for geometries that will be fetched.

Note
added in 2.2
QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setSubsetOfAttributes ( const QgsAttributeList attrs)

Set a subset of attributes that will be fetched.

Empty list means that all attributes are used. To disable fetching attributes, reset the FetchAttributes flag (which is set by default)

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setSubsetOfAttributes ( const QStringList &  attrNames,
const QgsFields fields 
)

Set a subset of attributes by names that will be fetched.

const QgsSimplifyMethod& QgsFeatureRequest::simplifyMethod ( ) const
inline

Get simplification method for geometries that will be fetched.

Note
