Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsLineString() [1/6]

QgsLineString::QgsLineString ( )

Definition at line 42 of file qgslinestring.cpp.

◆ QgsLineString() [2/6]

QgsLineString::QgsLineString ( const QVector< QgsPoint > &  points)

Construct a linestring from a vector of points.

Z and M type will be set based on the type of the first point in the vector.

Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 47 of file qgslinestring.cpp.

◆ QgsLineString() [3/6]

QgsLineString::QgsLineString ( const QVector< double > &  x,
const QVector< double > &  y,
const QVector< double > &  z = QVector<double>(),
const QVector< double > &  m = QVector<double>(),
bool  is25DType = false 
)

Construct a linestring from arrays of coordinates.

If the z or m arrays are non-empty then the resultant linestring will have z and m types accordingly. This constructor is more efficient then calling setPoints() or repeatedly calling addVertex()

If the z vector is filled, then the geometry type will either be a LineStringZ(M) or LineString25D depending on the is25DType argument. If is25DType is true (and the m vector is unfilled) then the created Linestring will be a LineString25D type. Otherwise, the LineString will be LineStringZ (or LineStringZM) type.

If z or m values are present, the output z and m will be interpolated using the existing vertices' z or m values.

◆ removeDuplicateNodes()

bool QgsLineString::removeDuplicateNodes ( double  epsilon = 4 *std::numeric_limits< double >::epsilon(),
bool  useZValues = false 
)
overridevirtual

Removes duplicate nodes from the geometry, wherever removing the nodes does not result in a degenerate geometry.

The epsilon parameter specifies the tolerance for coordinates when determining that vertices are identical.

By default, z values are not considered when detecting duplicate nodes. E.g. two nodes with the same x and y coordinate but different z values will still be considered duplicate and one will be removed. If useZValues is true, then the z values are also tested and nodes with the same x and y but different z will be maintained.

Note that duplicate nodes are not tested between different parts of a multipart geometry. E.g. a multipoint geometry with overlapping points will not be changed by this method.

The function will return true if nodes were removed, or false if no duplicate nodes were found.

QgsLineString * QgsLineString::snappedToGrid ( double  hSpacing,
double  vSpacing,
double  dSpacing = 0,
double  mSpacing = 0 
) const
overridevirtual

Makes a new geometry with all the points or vertices snapped to the closest point of the grid.

Ownership is transferred to the caller.

If the gridified geometry could not be calculated nullptr will be returned. It may generate an invalid geometry (in some corner cases). It can also be thought as rounding the edges and it may be useful for removing errors.

Example

geometry->snappedToGrid(1, 1);

In this case we use a 2D grid of 1x1 to gridify. In this case, it can be thought like rounding the x and y of all the points/vertices to full units (remove all decimals).

Parameters
hSpacingHorizontal spacing of the grid (x axis). 0 to disable.
vSpacingVertical spacing of the grid (y axis). 0 to disable.
dSpacingDepth spacing of the grid (z axis). 0 (default) to disable.
mSpacingCustom dimension spacing of the grid (m axis). 0 (default) to disable.

Transforms the geometry using a coordinate transform.

Parameters

transformZset to true to also transform z coordinates.

◆ transformVertices()
