◆ createRenderContextForLayout()

QgsRenderContext QgsLayoutUtils::createRenderContextForLayout ( QgsLayout layout,
QPainter *  painter,
double  dpi = -1 
)
static

Creates a render context suitable for the specified layout and painter destination.

This method returns a new QgsRenderContext which matches the scale and settings from the layout's QgsLayout::referenceMap(). If the dpi argument is not specified then the dpi will be taken from the destination painter device.

See also
createRenderContextForMap()

Definition at line 138 of file qgslayoututils.cpp.

◆ createRenderContextForMap()

QgsRenderContext QgsLayoutUtils::createRenderContextForMap ( QgsLayoutItemMap map,
QPainter *  painter,
double  dpi = -1 
)
static

Creates a render context suitable for the specified layout map and painter destination.

This method returns a new QgsRenderContext which matches the scale and settings of the target map. If the dpi argument is not specified then the dpi will be taken from the destination painter device.

createRenderContextForLayout()

Definition at line 94 of file qgslayoututils.cpp.

◆ decodePaperOrientation()

QgsLayoutItemPage::Orientation QgsLayoutUtils::decodePaperOrientation ( const QString &  string,
bool &  ok 
)
static

Decodes a string representing a paper orientation and returns the decoded orientation.

If the string was correctly decoded, ok will be set to true.

Definition at line 373 of file qgslayoututils.cpp.

◆ drawText() [1/2]

void QgsLayoutUtils::drawText ( QPainter *  painter,
QPointF  position,
const QString &  text,
const QFont &  font,
const QColor &  color = QColor() 
)
static

Draws text on a painter at a specific position, taking care of layout specific issues (calculation to pixel, scaling of font and painter to work around Qt font bugs).

If color is specified, text will be rendered in that color. If not specified, the current painter pen color will be used instead.

Definition at line 244 of file qgslayoututils.cpp.

◆ drawText() [2/2]

void QgsLayoutUtils::drawText ( QPainter *  painter,
const QRectF &  rectangle,
const QString &  text,
const QFont &  font,
const QColor &  color = QColor(),
Qt::AlignmentFlag  halignment = Qt::AlignLeft,
Qt::AlignmentFlag  valignment = Qt::AlignTop,
int  flags = Qt::TextWordWrap 
)
static

Draws text on a painter within a rectangle, taking care of layout specific issues (calculation to pixel, scaling of font and painter to work around Qt font bugs).

If color is specified, text will be rendered in that color. If not specified, the current painter pen color will be used instead.

The text alignment within rectangle can be set via the halignment and valignment arguments.

The flags parameter allows for passing Qt::TextFlags to control appearance of rendered text.

◆ fontAscentMM()

double QgsLayoutUtils::fontAscentMM ( const QFont &  font)
static

Calculates a font ascent in millimeters, including workarounds for QT font rendering issues.

◆ fontHeightMM()

double QgsLayoutUtils::fontHeightMM ( const QFont &  font)
static

Calculate a font height in millimeters, including workarounds for QT font rendering issues.

The font height is the font ascent + descent + 1 (for the baseline).

◆ largestRotatedRectWithinBounds()

QRectF QgsLayoutUtils::largestRotatedRectWithinBounds ( const QRectF &  originalRect,
const QRectF &  boundsRect,
double  rotation 
)
static

Calculates the largest scaled version of originalRect which fits within boundsRect, when it is rotated by the a specified rotation amount.

Parameters
originalRectQRectF to be rotated and scaled
boundsRectQRectF specifying the bounds which the rotated and scaled rectangle must fit within
rotationthe rotation in degrees to be applied to the rectangle
Returns
largest scaled version of the rectangle possible

Definition at line 293 of file qgslayoututils.cpp.

◆ mapLayerFromString()

QgsMapLayer * QgsLayoutUtils::mapLayerFromString ( const QString &  string,
QgsProject project 
)
static

Resolves a string into a map layer from a given project.

Attempts different forms of layer matching such as matching by layer id or layer name.

Layer names are matched using a case-insensitive check, ONLY if an exact case match was not found.

QGIS 3.2

Definition at line 403 of file qgslayoututils.cpp.

◆ normalizedAngle()

double QgsLayoutUtils::normalizedAngle ( double  angle,
bool  allowNegative = false 
)
static

Ensures that an angle (in degrees) is in the range 0 <= angle < 360.

If allowNegative is true then angles between (-360, 360) are allowed. If false, angles are converted to positive angles in the range [0, 360).
