Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsProcessingParameterExpression()

QgsProcessingParameterExpression::QgsProcessingParameterExpression ( const QString &  name,
const QString &  description = QString(),
const QVariant &  defaultValue = QVariant(),
const QString &  parentLayerParameterName = QString(),
bool  optional = false 
)

Constructor for QgsProcessingParameterExpression.

Definition at line 3287 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ asPythonString()

QString QgsProcessingParameterExpression::asPythonString ( QgsProcessing::PythonOutputType  outputType = QgsProcessing::PythonQgsProcessingAlgorithmSubclass) const
overridevirtual

Returns the parameter definition as a Python command which can be used within a Python Processing script.

The outputType argument specifies the desired output format for the Python string, i.e. the intended end use of the generated Python code.

Since
QGIS 3.6

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3319 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ clone()

QgsProcessingParameterDefinition * QgsProcessingParameterExpression::clone ( ) const
overridevirtual

Creates a clone of the parameter definition.

Implements QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3294 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ dependsOnOtherParameters()

QStringList QgsProcessingParameterExpression::dependsOnOtherParameters ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns a list of other parameter names on which this parameter is dependent (e.g.

field parameters which depend on a parent layer parameter).

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3311 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ fromScriptCode()

QgsProcessingParameterExpression * QgsProcessingParameterExpression::fromScriptCode ( const QString &  name,
const QString &  description,
bool  isOptional,
const QString &  definition 
)
static

Creates a new parameter using the definition from a script code.

Definition at line 3363 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ fromVariantMap()

bool QgsProcessingParameterExpression::fromVariantMap ( const QVariantMap &  map)
overridevirtual

Restores this parameter to a QVariantMap.

Subclasses should ensure that they call the base class method.

See also
toVariantMap()

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3356 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ parentLayerParameterName()

QString QgsProcessingParameterExpression::parentLayerParameterName ( ) const

Returns the name of the parent layer parameter, or an empty string if this is not set.

See also
setParentLayerParameterName()

Definition at line 3339 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ setParentLayerParameterName()

void QgsProcessingParameterExpression::setParentLayerParameterName ( const QString &  parentLayerParameterName)

Sets the name of the parent layer parameter.

Use an empty string if this is not required.

See also
parentLayerParameterName()

Definition at line 3344 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ toVariantMap()

QVariantMap QgsProcessingParameterExpression::toVariantMap ( ) const
overridevirtual

Saves this parameter to a QVariantMap.

Subclasses should ensure that they call the base class method and then extend the result with additional properties.

See also
fromVariantMap()

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 3349 of file qgsprocessingparameters.cpp.

◆ type()

QString QgsProcessingParameterExpression::type ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Unique parameter type name.

Implements QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.

Definition at line 1851 of file qgsprocessingparameters.h.

◆ typeName()

static QString QgsProcessingParameterExpression::typeName ( )
inlinestatic

Returns the type name for the parameter class.

Definition at line 1849 of file qgsprocessingparameters.h.

◆ valueAsPythonString()

QString QgsProcessingParameterExpression::valueAsPythonString ( const QVariant &  value,
QgsProcessingContext context 
) const
overridevirtual

Returns a string version of the parameter input value, which is suitable for use as an input parameter value when running an algorithm directly from a Python command.

Reimplemented from QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.
