Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QgsLayoutItem::QgsLayoutItem ( QgsLayout layout,
bool  manageZValue = true 
)
explicit

Constructor for QgsLayoutItem, with the specified parent layout.

If manageZValue is true, the z-Value of this item will be managed by the layout. Generally this is the desired behavior.

Definition at line 45 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

QgsLayoutItem::~QgsLayoutItem ( )
override

Definition at line 92 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

QPointF QgsLayoutItem::adjustPointForReferencePosition ( QPointF  point,
QSizeF  size,
ReferencePoint  reference 
) const
protected

Adjusts the specified point at which a reference position of the item sits and returns the top left corner of the item, if reference point were placed at the specified position.

Definition at line 1245 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

QgsLayoutSize QgsLayoutItem::applyDataDefinedSize ( const QgsLayoutSize size)
protected

Applies any present data defined size overrides to the specified layout size.

Definition at line 992 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

QSizeF QgsLayoutItem::applyItemSizeConstraint ( QSizeF  targetSize)
protectedvirtual

Applies any item-specific size constraint handling to a given targetSize in layout units.

Subclasses can override this method if they need to apply advanced logic regarding item sizes, which cannot be covered by setFixedSize() or setMinimumSize(). Item size constraints are applied after fixed, minimum and data defined size constraints.

See also
setFixedSize()
setMinimumSize()

Reimplemented in QgsLayoutItemPicture.

Definition at line 1203 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

void QgsLayoutItem::attemptMove ( const QgsLayoutPoint point,
bool  useReferencePoint = true,
bool  includesFrame = false,
int  page = -1 
)
virtual

Attempts to move the item to a specified point.

If useReferencePoint is true, this method will respect the item's reference point, in that the item will be moved so that its current reference point is placed at the specified target point.

If useReferencePoint is false, the item will be moved so that point falls at the top-left corner of the item.

If includesFrame is true, then the position specified by point represents the point at which to place the outside of the item's frame.

If page is not left at the default -1 value, then the position specified by point refers to the relative position on the corresponding layout page (where a page of 0 represents the first page).

Note that the final position of the item may not match the specified target position, as data defined item position may override the specified value.

positionWithUnits()

Reimplemented in QgsLayoutItemGroup.

Definition at line 430 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

void QgsLayoutItem::attemptMoveBy ( double  deltaX,
double  deltaY 
)

Attempts to shift the item's position by a specified deltaX and deltaY, in layout units.

Note that the final position of the item may not match the specified offsets, as data defined item position and size may override the specified value.

See also
attemptResize()
attemptMove()
referencePoint()
positionWithUnits()

Definition at line 490 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

void QgsLayoutItem::attemptResize ( const QgsLayoutSize size,
bool  includesFrame = false 
)
virtual

Attempts to resize the item to a specified target size.

Note that the final size of the item may not match the specified target size, as items with a fixed or minimum size will place restrictions on the allowed item size. Data defined item size overrides will also override the specified target size.

If includesFrame is true, then the size specified by size includes the item's frame.

See also
minimumSize()
fixedSize()
attemptMove()
sizeWithUnits()

Reimplemented in QgsLayoutItemPage, and QgsLayoutItemGroup.

Definition at line 392 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

void QgsLayoutItem::attemptSetSceneRect ( const QRectF &  rect,
bool  includesFrame = false 
)

Attempts to update the item's position and size to match the passed rect in layout coordinates.

If includesFrame is true, then the position and size specified by rect represents the position and size at for the outside of the item's frame.

Note that the final position and size of the item may not match the specified target rect, as data defined item position and size may override the specified value.

QColor QgsLayoutItem::backgroundColor ( ) const

Definition at line 717 of file qgslayoutitem.h.

void QgsLayoutItem::beginCommand ( const QString &  commandText,
UndoCommand  command = UndoNone 
)

Starts new undo command for this item.

The commandText should be a capitalized, imperative tense description (e.g. "Add Map Item"). If specified, multiple consecutive commands for this item with the same command will be collapsed into a single undo command in the layout history.

endCommand()
cancelCommand()

Definition at line 928 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

QPainter::CompositionMode QgsLayoutItem::blendMode ( ) const
inline

Returns the item's composition blending mode.

void QgsLayoutItem::cleanup ( )
virtual

Called just before a batch of items are deleted, allowing them to run cleanup tasks.

Reimplemented in QgsLayoutFrame, and QgsLayoutItemGroup.

Definition at line 97 of file qgslayoutitem.cpp.

bool QgsLayoutItem::containsAdvancedEffects ( ) const
virtual

Returns true if the item contains contents with blend modes or transparency effects which can only be reproduced by rastering the item.

Subclasses should ensure that implemented overrides of this method also check the base class result.

QgsAbstractLayoutUndoCommand * QgsLayoutItem::createCommand ( const QString &  text,
int  id,
QUndoCommand *  parent = nullptr 
)
overridevirtual

Creates a new layout undo command with the specified text and parent.

The id argument can be used to specify an id number for the source event - this is used to determine whether QUndoCommand command compression can apply to the command.

Implements QgsLayoutUndoObjectInterface.

Reimplemented in QgsLayoutItemPage.
