Detailed Description

Abstract base class for callout renderers.

Implementations of QgsCallout are responsible for performing the actual render of callouts, including determining the desired shape of the callout and using any relevant symbology elements to render them.

Parameters
nameencoded anchor point name
okif specified, will be set to true if the anchor point was successfully decoded

Definition at line 151 of file qgscallout.cpp.

◆ draw()

virtual void QgsCallout::draw ( QgsRenderContext context,
QRectF  bodyBoundingBox,
const double  angle,
const QgsGeometry anchor,
QgsCalloutContext calloutContext 
)
protectedpure virtual

Performs the actual rendering of the callout implementation onto the specified render context.

The bodyBoundingBox argument gives the desired size and position of the body of the callout (e.g. the actual label geometry). The angle argument specifies the rotation of the callout body (in degrees clockwise from horizontal). It is assumed that angle rotation specified via angle is applied around the center of rect.

The anchor argument dictates the geometry which the callout should connect to. Depending on the callout subclass and anchor geometry type, the actual shape of the rendered callout may vary. E.g. a subclass may prefer to attach to the centroid of the anchor, while another subclass may prefer to attach to the closest point on anchor instead.

Both rect and anchor are specified in painter coordinates (i.e. pixels).

The calloutContext argument is used to specify additional contextual information about how a callout is being rendered.

Implemented in QgsManhattanLineCallout, and QgsSimpleLineCallout.

◆ drawOrder()

QgsCallout::DrawOrder QgsCallout::drawOrder ( ) const
virtual

Returns the desired drawing order (stacking) to use while rendering this callout.

The default order is QgsCallout::OrderBelowIndividualLabels.

Definition at line 104 of file qgscallout.cpp.

◆ enabled()

bool QgsCallout::enabled ( ) const
inline

Returns true if the the callout is enabled.

See also
setEnabled()

Definition at line 228 of file qgscallout.h.

◆ encodeAnchorPoint()

QString QgsCallout::encodeAnchorPoint ( AnchorPoint  anchor)
static

Encodes an anchor point to its string representation.

Returns
encoded string
See also
decodeAnchorPoint()

Definition at line 171 of file qgscallout.cpp.

◆ properties()

QVariantMap QgsCallout::properties ( const QgsReadWriteContext context) const
virtual

Returns the properties describing the callout encoded in a string format.

Subclasses must ensure that they include the base class' properties() in their returned value.

See also
readProperties()
saveProperties()

Reimplemented in QgsSimpleLineCallout.

Definition at line 50 of file qgscallout.cpp.

◆ propertyDefinitions()

QgsPropertiesDefinition QgsCallout::propertyDefinitions ( )
static

Returns the definitions for data defined properties available for use in callouts.

Definition at line 141 of file qgscallout.cpp.

◆ readProperties()

void QgsCallout::readProperties ( const QVariantMap &  props,
const QgsReadWriteContext context 
)
virtual

Reads a string map of an callout's properties and restores the callout to the state described by the properties map.

Subclasses must ensure that they call the base class' readProperties() method.

See also
properties()

Reimplemented in QgsSimpleLineCallout.

Definition at line 59 of file qgscallout.cpp.

◆ referencedFields()

QSet< QString > QgsCallout::referencedFields ( const QgsRenderContext context) const
virtual

Returns the set of attributes referenced by the callout.

This includes attributes required by any data defined properties associated with the callout.

Warning
This must only be called after a corresponding call to startRender() with the same render context.

Reimplemented in QgsSimpleLineCallout.

Definition at line 98 of file qgscallout.cpp.

◆ render()

void QgsCallout::render ( QgsRenderContext context,
QRectF  rect,
const double  angle,
const QgsGeometry anchor,
QgsCalloutContext calloutContext 
)

Renders the callout onto the specified render context.

The rect argument gives the desired size and position of the body of the callout (e.g. the actual label geometry). The angle argument specifies the rotation of the callout body (in degrees clockwise from horizontal). It is assumed that angle rotation specified via angle is applied around the center of rect.

The anchor argument dictates the geometry which the callout should connect to. Depending on the callout subclass and anchor geometry type, the actual shape of the rendered callout may vary. E.g. a subclass may prefer to attach to the centroid of the anchor, while another subclass may prefer to attach to the closest point on anchor instead.

Both rect and anchor must be specified in painter coordinates (i.e. pixels).

The calloutContext argument is used to specify additional contextual information about how a callout is being rendered.

Warning
A prior call to startRender() must have been made before calling this method, and after all render() operations are complete a call to stopRender() must be made.

Definition at line 109 of file qgscallout.cpp.

◆ restoreProperties()

void QgsCallout::restoreProperties ( const QDomElement &  element,
const QgsReadWriteContext context 
)
virtual

Restores the callout's properties from a DOM element.

The default behavior is the read the DOM contents and call readProperties() on the subclass.

See also
readProperties()

Definition at line 83 of file qgscallout.cpp.

◆ saveProperties()

bool QgsCallout::saveProperties ( QDomDocument &  doc,
QDomElement &  element,
const QgsReadWriteContext context 
) const
virtual

Saves the current state of the callout to a DOM element.

The default behavior is to save the properties string map returned by properties().

Returns
true if save was successful

void QgsCallout::setEnabled ( bool  enabled)

Sets whether the callout is enabled.

◆ startRender()

void QgsCallout::startRender ( QgsRenderContext context)

void QgsCallout::stopRender ( QgsRenderContext context)
