Detailed Description

Container of fields for a vector layer.

In addition to storing a list of QgsField instances, it also:

• allows quick lookups of field names to index in the list
• keeps track of where the field definition comes from (vector data provider, joined layer or newly added from an editing operation)

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef struct QgsFields::Field QgsFields::Field

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QgsFields::FieldOrigin

Enumerator:

OriginUnknown	it has not been specified where the field comes from
OriginProvider	field comes from the underlying data provider of the vector layer (originIndex = index in provider's fields)
OriginJoin	field comes from a joined layer (originIndex / 1000 = index of the join, originIndex % 1000 = index within the join)
OriginEdit	field has been temporarily added in editing mode (originIndex = index in the list of added attributes)

Definition at line 166 of file qgsfield.h.

Member Function Documentation

bool QgsFields::append	(	const QgsField &	field,
		FieldOrigin	origin = OriginProvider,
		int	originIndex = -1
	)

Append a field. The field must have unique name, otherwise it is rejected (returns false)
