Member Function Documentation

◆ canCauseArtifactsBetweenAdjacentTiles()

bool QgsSymbolLayer::canCauseArtifactsBetweenAdjacentTiles ( ) const
virtual

Returns true if the symbol layer rendering can cause visible artifacts across a single feature when the feature is rendered as a series of adjacent map tiles each containing a portion of the feature's geometry.

The default implementation returns false.

Since
QGIS 3.18

Reimplemented in QgsTemplatedLineSymbolLayerBase, QgsSimpleLineSymbolLayer, QgsInterpolatedLineSymbolLayer, QgsCentroidFillSymbolLayer, QgsRandomMarkerFillSymbolLayer, QgsShapeburstFillSymbolLayer, QgsGradientFillSymbolLayer, and QgsArrowSymbolLayer.

◆ clone()

virtual QgsSymbolLayer* QgsSymbolLayer::clone ( ) const

◆ setEnabled()

void QgsSymbolLayer::setEnabled ( bool  enabled)

Sets whether symbol layer is enabled and should be drawn.

Disabled layers are not drawn, but remain part of the symbol and can be re-enabled when desired.

◆ setFillColor()

void QgsSymbolLayer::setFillColor ( const QColor &  color)
virtual

Sets the fill color for the symbol layer.

This property is not supported by all symbol layer types, only those with a fill component.

void QgsSymbolLayer::setId ( const QString &  id)

Set symbol layer identifier This id has to be unique in the whole project.

Definition at line 1015 of file qgssymbollayer.cpp.

◆ setLocked()

void QgsSymbolLayer::setLocked ( bool  locked)
inline

Sets whether the layer's colors are locked.

If locked is true then the symbol layer colors are locked and the layer will ignore any symbol-level color changes.

◆ setRenderingPass()

void QgsSymbolLayer::setRenderingPass ( int  renderingPass)

Specifies the rendering pass in which this symbol layer should be rendered.

The lower the number, the lower the symbol will be rendered. 0: first pass, 1: second pass, ... Defaults to 0

◆ setStrokeColor()

void QgsSymbolLayer::setStrokeColor ( const QColor &  color)

Sets the stroke color for the symbol layer.

This property is not supported by all symbol layer types, only those with a stroke component.

◆ shouldRenderUsingSelectionColor()

bool QgsSymbolLayer::shouldRenderUsingSelectionColor ( const QgsSymbolRenderContext context) const

Returns true if the symbol layer should be rendered using the selection color from the render context.

Definition at line 1010 of file qgssymbollayer.cpp.

◆ startFeatureRender()

void QgsSymbolLayer::startFeatureRender ( const QgsFeature feature,
QgsRenderContext context 
)
virtual

Called before the layer will be rendered for a particular feature.

This is always followed by a call to stopFeatureRender() after the feature has been completely rendered (i.e. all parts have been rendered).

The default implementation does nothing.

Note
In some circumstances, startFeatureRender() and stopFeatureRender() may not be called before a symbol layer is rendered. E.g., when a symbol layer is being rendered in isolation and not as a result of rendering a feature (for instance, when rendering a legend patch or other non-feature based shape).

◆ stopFeatureRender()

void QgsSymbolLayer::stopFeatureRender ( const QgsFeature feature,

Called after the layer has been rendered for a particular feature.

This is always preceded by a call to startFeatureRender() just before the feature will be rendered.

The default implementation does nothing.
