Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsLegendPatchShape() [1/2]

QgsLegendPatchShape::QgsLegendPatchShape ( )
default

Constructor for a null QgsLegendPatchShape.

A null QgsLegendPatchShape indicates that the default legend patch shape should be used instead.

◆ QgsLegendPatchShape() [2/2]

QgsLegendPatchShape::QgsLegendPatchShape ( QgsSymbol::SymbolType  type,
const QgsGeometry geometry,
bool  preserveAspectRatio = true 
)

Constructor for QgsLegendPatchShape.

The type argument specifies the symbol type associated with this patch.

The geometry argument gives the shape of the patch to render. See setGeometry() for further details on the geometry requirements.

If preserveAspectRatio is true, then the patch shape should preserve its aspect ratio when it is resized to fit a desired legend patch size.

Definition at line 24 of file qgslegendpatchshape.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ geometry()

QgsGeometry QgsLegendPatchShape::geometry ( ) const

Returns the geometry for the patch shape.

See also
setGeometry()

Definition at line 37 of file qgslegendpatchshape.cpp.

◆ isNull()

bool QgsLegendPatchShape::isNull ( ) const

Returns true if the patch shape is a null QgsLegendPatchShape, which indicates that the default legend patch shape should be used instead.

Definition at line 32 of file qgslegendpatchshape.cpp.

◆ preserveAspectRatio()

bool QgsLegendPatchShape::preserveAspectRatio ( ) const

Returns true if the patch shape should preserve its aspect ratio when it is resized to fit a desired legend patch size.

See also
setPreserveAspectRatio()

Definition at line 47 of file qgslegendpatchshape.cpp.

◆ readXml()

void QgsLegendPatchShape::readXml ( const QDomElement &  element,
const QgsReadWriteContext context 
)

Read settings from a DOM element.

See also
writeXml()

Definition at line 193 of file qgslegendpatchshape.cpp.

◆ setGeometry()

void QgsLegendPatchShape::setGeometry ( const QgsGeometry geometry)

Sets the geometry for the patch shape.

The origin and size of the geometry is not important, as the legend renderer will automatically scale and transform the geometry to match the desired overall patch bounds.

Geometries for legend patches are rendered respecting the traditional "y values increase toward the top of the map" convention, as opposed to the standard computer graphics convention of "y values increase toward the bottom of the display".

Warning
The geometry type should match the patch shape's symbolType(), e.g. a fill symbol type should only have Polygon or MultiPolygon geometries set, while a line symbol type must have LineString or MultiLineString geometries.

geometry()

Definition at line 42 of file qgslegendpatchshape.cpp.

◆ setPreserveAspectRatio()

void QgsLegendPatchShape::setPreserveAspectRatio ( bool  preserve)

Sets whether the patch shape should preserve its aspect ratio when it is resized to fit a desired legend patch size.

The default behavior is to respect the geometry()'s aspect ratio.

See also
setPreserveAspectRatio()

Definition at line 52 of file qgslegendpatchshape.cpp.

◆ setSymbolType()

void QgsLegendPatchShape::setSymbolType ( QgsSymbol::SymbolType  type)

Sets the symbol type associated with this patch.

See also
symbolType()

Definition at line 212 of file qgslegendpatchshape.cpp.

◆ symbolType()

QgsSymbol::SymbolType QgsLegendPatchShape::symbolType ( ) const

Returns the symbol type associated with this patch.

See also
setSymbolType()

Definition at line 207 of file qgslegendpatchshape.cpp.

◆ toQPolygonF()

QList< QList< QPolygonF > > QgsLegendPatchShape::toQPolygonF ( QgsSymbol::SymbolType  type,
QSizeF  size 
) const

Converts the patch shape to a set of QPolygonF objects representing how the patch should be drawn for a symbol of the given type at the specified size (as geometry parts and rings).

Definition at line 84 of file qgslegendpatchshape.cpp.

◆ writeXml()

void QgsLegendPatchShape::writeXml ( QDomElement &  element,
QDomDocument &  doc,
const QgsReadWriteContext context 
) const

Write settings into a DOM element.

readXml()
