Since
QGIS 2.12

Definition at line 756 of file qgsexpressioncontext.h.

Member Function Documentation

QgsExpressionContextScope * QgsExpressionContextUtils::atlasScope ( QgsLayoutAtlas atlas)
static

Creates a new scope which contains variables and functions relating to a QgsLayoutAtlas.

For instance, current page name and number.

Parameters
atlassource atlas. If null, a set of default atlas variables will be added to the scope.

Definition at line 1159 of file qgsexpressioncontext.cpp.

QgsExpressionContext QgsExpressionContextUtils::createFeatureBasedContext ( const QgsFeature feature,
const QgsFields fields 
)
static

Helper function for creating an expression context which contains just a feature and fields collection.

Generally this method should not be used as the created context does not include standard scopes such as the global and project scopes.

Definition at line 1280 of file qgsexpressioncontext.cpp.

QgsExpressionContextScope * QgsExpressionContextUtils::formScope ( const QgsFeature formFeature = QgsFeature( ),
const QString &  formMode = QString() 
)
static

Creates a new scope which contains functions and variables from the current attribute form/table feature.

The variables and values in this scope will reflect the current state of the form/row being edited. The formMode (SingleEditMode etc.) is passed as text

Since
QGIS 3.2

Definition at line 769 of file qgsexpressioncontext.cpp.

QList< QgsExpressionContextScope * > QgsExpressionContextUtils::globalProjectLayerScopes ( const QgsMapLayer layer)
static

Creates a list of three scopes: global, layer's project and layer.

Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 908 of file qgsexpressioncontext.cpp.

QgsExpressionContextScope * QgsExpressionContextUtils::globalScope ( )
static

Creates a new scope which contains variables and functions relating to the global QGIS context.

For instance, QGIS version numbers and variables specified through QGIS options.
