Detailed Description

Abstract base class for all map tools.

Map tools are user interactive tools for manipulating the map canvas. For example map pan and zoom features are implemented as map tools.

bool QgsMapTool::isTransient ( )

virtual

Check whether this MapTool performs a zoom or pan operation.

void QgsMapTool::renderComplete ( )

virtual

Called when rendering has finished. Default implementation does nothing.

void QgsMapTool::setAction ( QAction * action )

Use this to associate a QAction to this maptool.

Then when the setMapTool method of mapcanvas is called the action state will be set to on. Usually this will cause e.g. a toolbutton to appear pressed in and the previously used toolbutton to pop out.

Definition at line 93 of file qgsmaptool.cpp.

References action(), and mAction.

void QgsMapTool::setButton ( QAbstractButton * button )

Use this to associate a button to this maptool.

It has the same meaning as setAction() function except it works with a button instead of an QAction.

References button(), and mButton.

void QgsMapTool::setCursor ( QCursor cursor )

virtual

Set a user defined cursor.

Definition at line 113 of file qgsmaptool.cpp.
