Member Function Documentation

◆ createItem()

virtual QgsLayoutItem* QgsLayoutItemAbstractMetadata::createItem ( QgsLayout layout)
pure virtual

Creates a layout item of this class for a specified layout.

Implemented in QgsLayoutItemMetadata.

◆ resolvePaths()

virtual void QgsLayoutItemAbstractMetadata::resolvePaths ( QVariantMap &  properties,
const QgsPathResolver pathResolver,
bool  saving 
)
inlinevirtual

Resolve paths in the item's properties (if there are any paths).

When saving is true, paths are converted from absolute to relative, when saving is false, paths are converted from relative to absolute. This ensures that paths in project files can be relative, but in item instances the paths are always absolute.

Reimplemented in QgsLayoutItemMetadata.

Definition at line 82 of file qgslayoutitemregistry.h.

◆ type()

int QgsLayoutItemAbstractMetadata::type ( ) const
inline

Returns the unique item type code for the layout item class.

Definition at line 63 of file qgslayoutitemregistry.h.

◆ visibleName()

QString QgsLayoutItemAbstractMetadata::visibleName ( ) const
inline

Returns a translated, user visible name for the layout item class.
