Detailed Description

Class for doing transforms between two map coordinate systems.

This class can convert map coordinates to a different coordinate reference system. It is normally associated with a map layer and is used to transform between the layer's coordinate system and the coordinate system of the map canvas, although it can be used in a more general sense to transform coordinates.

When used to transform between a layer and the map canvas, all references to source and destination coordinate systems refer to layer and map canvas respectively. All operations are from the perspective of the layer. For example, a forward transformation transforms coordinates from the layer's coordinate system to the map canvas.

Note
Since QGIS 3.0 QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem objects are implicitly shared.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsCoordinateTransform() [1/6]

QgsCoordinateTransform::QgsCoordinateTransform ( )

Default constructor, creates an invalid QgsCoordinateTransform.

Definition at line 50 of file qgscoordinatetransform.cpp.

◆ QgsCoordinateTransform() [2/6]

QgsCoordinateTransform::QgsCoordinateTransform ( const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem source,
const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem destination 
)
explicit

Constructs a QgsCoordinateTransform using QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem objects.

Parameters
sourcesource CRS, typically of the layer's coordinate system
destinationCRS, typically of the map canvas coordinate system correctly handle the user's datum transform setup. Instead the constructor variant which accepts a QgsCoordinateTransformContext or QgsProject argument should be used instead. It is highly likely that this constructor will be removed in future QGIS versions.
Note
Not available in Python bindings.
Deprecated:
Use of this constructor is strongly discouraged, as it will not

Definition at line 55 of file qgscoordinatetransform.cpp.

◆ QgsCoordinateTransform() [3/6]

QgsCoordinateTransform::QgsCoordinateTransform ( const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem source,
const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem destination,
const QgsCoordinateTransformContext context 
)
explicit

Constructs a QgsCoordinateTransform to transform from the source to destination coordinate reference system.

The context argument specifies the context under which the transform will be applied, and is used for calculating necessary datum transforms to utilize.

Python scripts should generally use the constructor variant which accepts a QgsProject instance instead of this constructor.

Warning
Do NOT use an empty/default constructed QgsCoordinateTransformContext() object when creating QgsCoordinateTransform objects. This prevents correct datum transform handling and may result in inaccurate transformations. Always ensure that the QgsCoordinateTransformContext object is correctly retrieved based on the current code context, or use the constructor variant which accepts a QgsProject argument instead.

◆ QgsCoordinateTransform() [4/6]

QgsCoordinateTransform::QgsCoordinateTransform ( const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem source,
const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem destination,
const QgsProject project 
)
explicit

Constructs a QgsCoordinateTransform to transform from the source to destination coordinate reference system, when used with the given project.

No reference to project is stored or utilized outside of the constructor, and it is used to retrieve the project's transform context only.

Python scripts should utilize the QgsProject.instance() project instance when creating QgsCoordinateTransform. This will ensure that any datum transforms defined in the project will be correctly respected during coordinate transforms. E.g.
