◆ preferredRasterFormat()

QString QgsProcessingContext::preferredRasterFormat ( ) const
inline

Returns the preferred raster format to use for vector outputs.

This method returns a file extension to use when creating raster outputs (e.g. "tif"). Generally, it is preferable to use the extension associated with a particular parameter, which can be retrieved through QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::defaultFileExtension(). However, in some cases, a specific parameter may not be available to call this method on (e.g. for an algorithm which has only an output folder parameter and which creates multiple output layers in that folder). In this case, the format returned by this function should be used when creating these outputs.

It is the algorithm's responsibility to check whether the returned format is acceptable for the algorithm, and to provide an appropriate fallback when the returned format is not usable.

preferredVectorFormat()
Since
QGIS 3.10

Definition at line 514 of file qgsprocessingcontext.h.

◆ preferredVectorFormat()

QString QgsProcessingContext::preferredVectorFormat ( ) const
inline

Returns the preferred vector format to use for vector outputs.

This method returns a file extension to use when creating vector outputs (e.g. "shp"). Generally, it is preferable to use the extension associated with a particular parameter, which can be retrieved through QgsProcessingDestinationParameter::defaultFileExtension(). However, in some cases, a specific parameter may not be available to call this method on (e.g. for an algorithm which has only an output folder parameter and which creates multiple output layers in that folder). In this case, the format returned by this function should be used when creating these outputs.

QgsProject* QgsProcessingContext::project ( ) const
inline

Returns the project in which the algorithm is being executed.

See also
setProject()

Definition at line 99 of file qgsprocessingcontext.h.

◆ pushToThread()

void QgsProcessingContext::pushToThread ( QThread *  thread)
inline

Pushes the thread affinity for the context (including all layers contained in the temporaryLayerStore()) into another thread.

This method is only safe to call when the current thread matches the existing thread affinity for the context (see thread()).

See also
thread()

Definition at line 421 of file qgsprocessingcontext.h.

◆ setDefaultEncoding()

void QgsProcessingContext::setDefaultEncoding ( const QString &  encoding)
inline

Sets the expression context.

Definition at line 129 of file qgsprocessingcontext.h.

◆ setFeedback()

void QgsProcessingContext::setFeedback ( QgsProcessingFeedback feedback)
inline

Sets an associated feedback object.

This allows context related functions to report feedback and errors to users and processing logs. While ideally this feedback object should outlive the context, only a weak pointer to feedback is stored and no errors will occur if feedback is deleted before the context. Ownership of feedback is not transferred.

See also
setFeedback()

Definition at line 407 of file qgsprocessingcontext.h.

◆ setFlags()

void QgsProcessingContext::setFlags ( QgsProcessingContext::Flags  flags)
inline

Sets flags for the context.

◆ setInvalidGeometryCallback()

void QgsProcessingContext::setInvalidGeometryCallback ( const std::function< void(const QgsFeature &) > &  callback)
inline

Sets a callback function to use when encountering an invalid geometry and invalidGeometryCheck() is set to GeometryAbortOnInvalid.

This function will be called using the feature with invalid geometry as a parameter.

◆ setInvalidGeometryCheck()

void QgsProcessingContext::setInvalidGeometryCheck ( QgsFeatureRequest::InvalidGeometryCheck  check)

Sets the behavior used for checking invalid geometries in input layers.

Settings this to anything but QgsFeatureRequest::GeometryNoCheck will also reset the invalidGeometryCallback() to a default implementation.

See also
invalidGeometryCheck()

◆ setLayersToLoadOnCompletion()

void QgsProcessingContext::setLayersToLoadOnCompletion ( const QMap< QString, QgsProcessingContext::LayerDetails > &  layers)

void QgsProcessingContext::setProject ( QgsProject project)
inline

Sets the project in which the algorithm will be executed.

See also
project()

Definition at line 109 of file qgsprocessingcontext.h.

◆ setTransformContext()

void QgsProcessingContext::setTransformContext ( const QgsCoordinateTransformContext context)

◆ takeResultLayer()

QgsMapLayer * QgsProcessingContext::takeResultLayer ( const QString &  id)

Takes the result map layer with matching id from the context and transfers ownership of it back to the caller.

This method can be used to remove temporary layers which are not required for further processing from a context.

See also
getMapLayer()

Definition at line 108 of file qgsprocessingcontext.cpp.

◆ takeResultsFrom()

void QgsProcessingContext::takeResultsFrom ( QgsProcessingContext context)

Takes the results from another context and merges them with the results currently stored in this context.

This includes settings like any layers loaded in the temporaryLayerStore() and layersToLoadOnCompletion(). This is only safe to call when both this context and the other context share the same thread() affinity, and that thread is the current thread.
