assignFreeId(self)

Sets the map id() to a number not yet used in the layout. The existing id() is kept if it is not in use.

atlasDriven(self) → bool

Returns whether the map extent is set to follow the current atlas feature.

Returns:true if map will follow the current atlas feature.

See also

setAtlasDriven()

atlasMargin(self, valueType: QgsLayoutObject.PropertyValueType = QgsLayoutObject.EvaluatedValue) → float

Returns the margin size (percentage) used when the map is in atlas mode.

Parameters:valueType – controls whether the returned value is the user specified atlas margin,

or the current evaluated atlas margin (which may be affected by data driven atlas margin settings).

Returns:margin size in percentage to leave around the atlas feature’s extent

Note

this is only used if atlasScalingMode() is Auto.

See also

setAtlasMargin()

atlasScalingMode(self) → QgsLayoutItemMap.AtlasScalingMode

Returns the current atlas scaling mode. This controls how the map’s extents are calculated for the current atlas feature when an atlas composition is enabled.

Returns:the current scaling mode

Note

this parameter is only used if atlasDriven() is true

See also

atlasDriven()

boundingRect(self) → QRectF
childEvent()
connectNotify()
containsAdvancedEffects(self) → bool
containsWmsLayer(self) → bool

Returns true if the map contains a WMS layer.

contextMenuEvent()
create(layout: QgsLayout) → QgsLayoutItemMap

Returns a new map item for the specified layout.

The caller takes responsibility for deleting the returned object.

createExpressionContext(self) → QgsExpressionContext
crs(self) → QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem

Returns coordinate reference system used for rendering the map. This will match the presetCrs() if that is set, or if a preset CRS is not set then the map’s CRS will follow the composition’s project’s CRS.

finalizeRestoreFromXml(self)
focusInEvent()
focusOutEvent()
followVisibilityPreset(self) → bool

Returns whether the map should follow a map theme. If true, the layers and layer styles will be used from given preset name (configured with setFollowVisibilityPresetName() method). This means when preset’s settings are changed, the new settings are automatically picked up next time when rendering, without having to explicitly update them. At most one of the flags keepLayerSet() and followVisibilityPreset() should be enabled at any time since they are alternative approaches - if both are enabled, following map theme has higher priority. If neither is enabled (or if preset name is not set), map will use the same configuration as the map canvas uses.

followVisibilityPresetName(self) → str

Preset name that decides which layers and layer styles are used for map rendering. It is only used when followVisibilityPreset() returns true.

grid(self) → QgsLayoutItemMapGrid

Returns the map item’s first grid. This is a convenience function.

See also

grids()

grids(self) → QgsLayoutItemMapGridStack

Returns the map item’s grid stack, which is used to control how grids are drawn over the map’s contents.

True if a draw is already in progress

isSignalConnected()
itemChange()
keepLayerSet(self) → bool

Returns whether a stored layer set should be used or the current layer set from the project associated with the layout. This is just a GUI flag, and itself does not change which layers are rendered in the map. Instead, use setLayers() to control which layers are rendered.

See also

layers()

keepLayerStyles(self) → bool

Returns whether current styles of layers should be overridden by previously stored styles.

keyPressEvent()
keyReleaseEvent()
layerStyleOverrides(self) → Dict[str, str]

mapRotation(self, valueType: QgsLayoutObject.PropertyValueType = QgsLayoutObject.EvaluatedValue) → float

Returns the rotation used for drawing the map within the layout item, in degrees clockwise.

Parameters:valueType – controls whether the returned value is the user specified rotation,

or the current evaluated rotation (which may be affected by data driven rotation settings).

mapSettings(self, extent: QgsRectangle, size: QSizeF, dpi: float, includeLayerSettings: bool) → QgsMapSettings

Return map settings that will be used for drawing of the map.

If includeLayerSettings is true, than settings specifically relating to map layers and map layer styles will be calculated. This can be expensive to calculate, so if they are not required in the map settings (e.g. for map settings which are used for scale related calculations only) then includeLayerSettings should be false.

mapToItemCoords(self, mapCoords: Union[QPointF, QPoint]) → QPointF

Transforms map coordinates to item coordinates (considering rotation and move offset)

mapUnitsToLayoutUnits(self) → float

Returns the conversion factor from map units to layout units. This is calculated using the width of the map item and the width of the current visible map extent.
