    for part in geometry.parts():
    print(part.asWkt())
    # parts can be modified during the iteration

◆ removeDuplicateNodes()

virtual bool QgsAbstractGeometry::removeDuplicateNodes ( double  epsilon = 4 *std::numeric_limits< double >::epsilon(),
bool  useZValues = false 
)
pure virtual

Removes duplicate nodes from the geometry, wherever removing the nodes does not result in a degenerate geometry.

The epsilon parameter specifies the tolerance for coordinates when determining that vertices are identical.

By default, z values are not considered when detecting duplicate nodes. E.g. two nodes with the same x and y coordinate but different z values will still be considered duplicate and one will be removed. If useZValues is true, then the z values are also tested and nodes with the same x and y but different z will be maintained.

Note that duplicate nodes are not tested between different parts of a multipart geometry. E.g. a multipoint geometry with overlapping points will not be changed by this method.

The function will return true if nodes were removed, or false if no duplicate nodes were found.

◆ snappedToGrid()

virtual QgsAbstractGeometry* QgsAbstractGeometry::snappedToGrid ( double  hSpacing,
double  vSpacing,
double  dSpacing = 0,
double  mSpacing = 0 
) const
pure virtual

Makes a new geometry with all the points or vertices snapped to the closest point of the grid.

Ownership is transferred to the caller.

If the gridified geometry could not be calculated nullptr will be returned. It may generate an invalid geometry (in some corner cases). It can also be thought as rounding the edges and it may be useful for removing errors. Example:

geometry->snappedToGrid(1, 1);

In this case we use a 2D grid of 1x1 to gridify. In this case, it can be thought like rounding the x and y of all the points/vertices to full units (remove all decimals).

Parameters
hSpacingHorizontal spacing of the grid (x axis). 0 to disable.
vSpacingVertical spacing of the grid (y axis). 0 to disable.
dSpacingDepth spacing of the grid (z axis). 0 (default) to disable.
mSpacingCustom dimension spacing of the grid (m axis). 0 (default) to disable.

◆ transform() [1/2]

virtual void QgsAbstractGeometry::transform ( const QgsCoordinateTransform ct,
QgsCoordinateTransform::TransformDirection  d = QgsCoordinateTransform::ForwardTransform,
bool  transformZ = false 
)
pure virtual

Transforms the geometry using a coordinate transform.

Parameters
ctcoordinate transform
dtransformation direction
transformZset to true to also transform z coordinates. This requires that the z coordinates in the geometry represent height relative to the vertical datum of the source CRS (generally ellipsoidal heights) and are expressed in its vertical units (generally meters). If false, then z coordinates will not be changed by the transform.

Implemented in QgsLineString, QgsPoint, QgsCurvePolygon, QgsGeometryCollection, QgsCircularString, and QgsCompoundCurve.

◆ transform() [2/2]

virtual void QgsAbstractGeometry::transform ( const QTransform &  t,
double  zTranslate = 0.0,
double  zScale = 1.0,
double  mTranslate = 0.0,
double  mScale = 1.0 
)
pure virtual

Transforms the x and y components of the geometry using a QTransform object t.

Optionally, the geometry's z values can be scaled via zScale and translated via zTranslate. Similarly, m-values can be scaled via mScale and translated via mTranslate.

Implemented in QgsLineString, QgsPoint, QgsCurvePolygon, QgsGeometryCollection, QgsCircularString, and QgsCompoundCurve.

◆ transformVertices()

void QgsAbstractGeometry::transformVertices ( const std::function< QgsPoint(const QgsPoint &) > &  transform)
virtual

Transforms the vertices from the geometry in place, applying the transform function to every vertex.

Depending on the transform used, this may result in an invalid geometry.

Transform functions are not permitted to alter the dimensionality of vertices. If a transform which adds (or removes) z/m values is desired, first call the corresponding addZValue() or addMValue() function to change the geometry's dimensionality and then transform.

◆ vertexNumberFromVertexId()

Returns -1 if a corresponding vertex could not be found.

◆ vertices()

QgsVertexIterator QgsAbstractGeometry::vertices ( ) const

Returns a read-only, Java-style iterator for traversal of vertices of all the geometry, including all geometry parts and rings.

Warning
The iterator returns a copy of individual vertices, and accordingly geometries cannot be modified using the iterator. See transformVertices() for a safe method to modify vertices "in-place".
  • Example:
    # print the x and y coordinate for each vertex in a LineString
    geometry = QgsLineString.fromWkt( 'LineString( 0 0, 1 1, 2 2)' )
    for v in geometry.vertices():
    print(v.x(), v.y())
    # vertex iteration includes all parts and rings
    geometry = QgsMultiPolygon.fromWkt( 'MultiPolygon((( 0 0, 0 10, 10 10, 10 0, 0 0 ),( 5 5, 5 6, 6 6, 6 5, 5 5)),((20 2, 22 2, 22 4, 20 4, 20 2)))' )
