◆ setCanvasPropertiesOverrides()

void QgsMapToolIdentify::setCanvasPropertiesOverrides ( double  searchRadiusMapUnits)
protected

Overrides some map canvas properties inside the map tool for the upcoming identify requests.

This is useful when the identification is triggered by some other piece of GUI like a 3D map view and some properties like search radius need to be adjusted so that identification returns correct results. Currently only search radius may be overridden.

When the custom identification has finished, restoreCanvasPropertiesOverrides() should be called to erase any overrides.
