Detailed Description

Internal feature iterator to be implemented within data providers.

Definition at line 27 of file qgsfeatureiterator.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::QgsAbstractFeatureIterator

(

const QgsFeatureRequest &

request

)

base class constructor - stores the iteration parameters

Definition at line 23 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::~QgsAbstractFeatureIterator ( )

virtual

destructor makes sure that the iterator is closed properly

Definition at line 35 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::close ( )

pure virtual

end of iterating: free the resources / lock

Implemented in QgsCachedFeatureWriterIterator, QgsVectorLayerFeatureIterator, and QgsCachedFeatureIterator.

void QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::deref ( )

protected

remove reference, delete if refs == 0

Definition at line 131 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

virtual bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::fetchFeature ( QgsFeature &  f )

protectedpure virtual

If you write a feature iterator for your provider, this is the method you need to implement!!

Parameters

f	The feature to write to

Returns

true if a feature was written to f

Implemented in QgsCachedFeatureWriterIterator, QgsVectorLayerFeatureIterator, and QgsCachedFeatureIterator.

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::nextFeature ( QgsFeature &  f )

virtual

fetch next feature, return true on success

Definition at line 40 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::nextFeatureFilterExpression ( QgsFeature &  f )

protectedvirtual

By default, the iterator will fetch all features and check if the feature matches the expression.

If you have a more sophisticated metodology (SQL request for the features...) and you check for the expression in your fetchFeature method, you can just redirect this call to fetchFeature so the default check will be omitted.

Parameters

f	The feature to write to

Returns

true if a feature was written to f

Reimplemented in QgsVectorLayerFeatureIterator.

Definition at line 93 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::nextFeatureFilterFids ( QgsFeature &  f )

protectedvirtual

By default, the iterator will fetch all features and check if the id is in the request.

If you have a more sophisticated metodology (SQL request for the features...) and you are sure, that any feature you return from fetchFeature will match if the request was FilterFids you can just redirect this call to fetchFeature so the default check will be omitted.

Parameters

f	The feature to write to

Returns

true if a feature was written to f

Reimplemented in QgsCachedFeatureIterator.

Definition at line 104 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::prepareSimplification ( const QgsSimplifyMethod &  simplifyMethod )

protectedvirtual

Setup the simplification of geometries to fetch using the specified simplify method.

Reimplemented in QgsVectorLayerFeatureIterator.

Definition at line 138 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

void QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::ref ( )

protected

add reference

Definition at line 114 of file qgsfeatureiterator.cpp.

virtual bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::rewind ( )

pure virtual

reset the iterator to the starting position

Implemented in QgsCachedFeatureWriterIterator, QgsVectorLayerFeatureIterator, and QgsCachedFeatureIterator.

Member Data Documentation

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::mClosed

protected

Set to true, as soon as the iterator is closed.

Definition at line 83 of file qgsfeatureiterator.h.

long QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::mFetchedCount

protected

Number of features already fetched by iterator.

Definition at line 102 of file qgsfeatureiterator.h.

QgsFeatureRequest QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::mRequest

protected

A copy of the feature request.

Definition at line 80 of file qgsfeatureiterator.h.

bool QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::mZombie

protected

A feature iterator may be closed already but still be serving features from the cache.

This is done when we serve features which have been pre-fetched and the order by has been locally sorted. In such a scenario, all resources have been released (mClosed is true) but the deads are still alive.

Definition at line 92 of file qgsfeatureiterator.h.

int QgsAbstractFeatureIterator::refs

protected

reference counting (to allow seamless copying of QgsFeatureIterator instances) TODO QGIS3: make this private

Definition at line 96 of file qgsfeatureiterator.h.
