Detailed Description

Reads and writes project states.

Note

Has two general kinds of state to make persistent. (I.e., to read and write.) First, Qgis proprietary information. Second plug-in information.

A singleton since there shall only be one active project at a time; and provides canonical location for plug-ins and main app to find/set properties.

Might want to consider moving from Singleton; i.e., allowing more than one project. Just as the GIMP can have simultaneous multiple images, perhaps qgis can one day have simultaneous multiple projects.

Shows a warning when an old project file is read.

Definition at line 769 of file qgsproject.cpp.

bool QgsProject::read ( QDomNode & layerNode )

read the layer described in the associated Dom node

Parameters

layerNode represents a QgsProject Dom node that maps to a specific layer.

QgsProject raises an exception when one of the QgsProject::read() implementations fails. Since the read()s are invoked from qgisapp, then qgisapp handles the exception. It prompts the user for the new location of the data, if any. If there is a new location, the Dom node associated with the layer has its datasource tag corrected. Then that node is passed to this member function to be re-opened.
