Detailed Description

This class caches features of a given QgsVectorLayer.

The cached features can be indexed by QgsAbstractCacheIndex.

Proper indexing for a given use-case may speed up performance substantially.

Member Function Documentation

void QgsVectorLayerCache::addCacheIndex ( QgsAbstractCacheIndex * cacheIndex )

Adds a QgsAbstractCacheIndex to this cache.

Cache indices know about features present in this cache and decide, if enough information is present in the cache to respond to a QgsFeatureRequest. The layer cache will take ownership of the index.

Parameters

cacheIndex The cache index to add.

Definition at line 118 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::attributeValueChanged	(	const QgsFeatureId &	fid,
		const int &	field,
		const QVariant &	value
	)

signal

Is emitted when an attribute is changed.

Is re-emitted after the layer itself emits this signal. You should connect to this signal, to be sure, to not get a cached value if querying the cache.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::cachedLayerDeleted ( )

signal

Is emitted when the cached layer is deleted.

Is emitted when the cached layers layerDelete() signal is being emitted, but before the local reference to it has been set to NULL. So call to layer() will still return a valid pointer for cleanup purpose.

int QgsVectorLayerCache::cacheSize ( )

Returns the maximum number of features this cache will hold.

In case full caching is enabled, this number can change, as new features get added.

Returns: int

Definition at line 54 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

bool QgsVectorLayerCache::checkInformationCovered ( const QgsFeatureRequest & featureRequest )

protected

Checks if the information required to complete the request is cached.

i.e. If all attributes required and the geometry is held in the cache. Please note, that this does not check, if the requested features are cached.

Parameters

featureRequest The QgsFeatureRequest to be answered

Returns: True if the information is being cached, false if not

Definition at line 327 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::featureAdded ( QgsFeatureId fid )

signal

Is emitted, when a new feature has been added to the layer and this cache.

You should connect to this signal instead of the layers', if you want to be sure that this cache has updated information for the new feature

Parameters

fid	The featureid of the changed feature

bool QgsVectorLayerCache::featureAtId	(	QgsFeatureId	featureId,
		QgsFeature &	feature,
		bool	skipCache = `false`
	)

Gets the feature at the given feature id.

Considers the changed, added, deleted and permanent features

Parameters

featureId	The id of the feature to query
feature	The result of the operation will be written to this feature
skipCache	Will query the layer regardless if the feature is in the cache already

Returns: true in case of success

Definition at line 135 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::featureRemoved ( QgsFeatureId fid )

protected

Gets called, whenever a feature has been removed.

Broadcasts this information to indices, so they can invalidate their cache if required.

Parameters

fid	The feature id of the removed feature.

Definition at line 186 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::finished ( )

signal

When filling the cache, this signal gets emitted once the cache is fully initialized.

QgsFeatureIterator QgsVectorLayerCache::getFeatures ( const QgsFeatureRequest & featureRequest = QgsFeatureRequest() )

Query this VectorLayerCache for features.

If the VectorLayerCache (and moreover any of its indices) is able to satisfy the request, the returned QgsFeatureIterator will iterate over cached features. If it's not possible to fully satisfy the request from the cache, part or all of the features will be requested from the data provider.

Parameters

featureRequest The request specifying filter and required data.

Returns: An iterator over the requested data.

Definition at line 269 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::invalidated ( )

signal

The cache has been invalidated and cleared.

bool QgsVectorLayerCache::isFidCached ( const QgsFeatureId fid )

Check if a certain feature id is cached.

Parameters

fid	The feature id to look for

Returns: True if this id is in the cache

Definition at line 322 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

QgsVectorLayer * QgsVectorLayerCache::layer ( )

Returns the layer to which this cache belongs.

Definition at line 169 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::progress	(	int	i,
		bool &	cancel
	)

signal

When filling the cache, this signal gets emitted periodically to notify about the progress and to be able to cancel an operation.

Parameters

i	The number of already fetched features
cancel	A reference to a boolean variable. Set to true and the operation will be canceled.

Note: not available in python bindings

bool QgsVectorLayerCache::removeCachedFeature ( QgsFeatureId fid )

Removes the feature identified by fid from the cache if present.

Parameters

fid	The id of the feature to delete

Returns: true if the feature was removed, false if the feature id was not found in the cache

Definition at line 164 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::requestCompleted	(	const QgsFeatureRequest &	featureRequest,
		const QgsFeatureIds &	fids
	)

protected

Gets called, whenever the full list of feature ids for a certain request is known.

Broadcasts this information to indices, so they can update their tables.

Parameters

featureRequest	The feature request that was answered
fids	The feature ids that have been returned

Definition at line 174 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::setCacheAddedAttributes ( bool cacheAddedAttributes )

If this is enabled, the subset of cached attributes will automatically be extended to also include newly added attributes.

Parameters

cacheAddedAttributes Automatically cache new attributes

Definition at line 123 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::setCacheGeometry ( bool cacheGeometry )

Enable or disable the caching of geometries.

Parameters

cacheGeometry Enable or disable the caching of geometries

Definition at line 59 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::setCacheSize ( int cacheSize )

Sets the maximum number of features to keep in the cache.

Some features will be removed from the cache if the number is smaller than the previous size of the cache.

Parameters

cacheSize indicates the maximum number of features to keep in the cache

Definition at line 49 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::setCacheSubsetOfAttributes ( const QgsAttributeList & attributes )

Set the subset of attributes to be cached.

Parameters

attributes The attributes to be cached

Definition at line 72 of file qgsvectorlayercache.cpp.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::setFullCache ( bool fullCache )

This enables or disables full caching.

If enabled, all features will be held in the cache. The cache size will incrementally be increased to offer space for all features. When enabled, all features will be read into cache. As this feature will most likely be used for slow data sources, be aware, that the call to this method might take a long time.

Parameters

fullCache True: enable full caching, False: disable full caching
