Attributes

beginCommand(self, object: QgsLayoutUndoObjectInterface, commandText: str, id: int = 0)

Begins a new undo command for the specified object.

This must be followed by a call to endCommand() or cancelCommand() after the desired changes have been made to object.

The id argument can be used to specify an id number for the source event - this is used to determine whether QUndoCommand command compression can apply to the command.

cancelCommand()

beginMacro(self, commandText: str)

Starts a macro command, with the given descriptive commandText.

Any commands added to the stack (either via direct manipulation of stack() or via beginCommand()/endCommand() calls) between a beginMacro() and endMacro() block are collapsed into a single undo command, which will be applied or rolled back in a single step.

See also

endMacro()

blockCommands(self, blocked: bool)

Sets whether undo commands for the layout should be temporarily blocked.

If blocked is true, subsequent undo commands will be blocked until a follow-up call to blockCommands( false ) is made.

Note that calls to blockCommands are stacked, so two calls blocking the commands will take two calls unblocking commands in order to release the block.

cancelCommand(self)

Cancels the active command, discarding it without pushing to the undo history.

endMacro(self)

Ends a macro command. This must be called after beginMacro(), when all child undo commands which form part of the macro have been completed.

Any commands added to the stack (either via direct manipulation of stack() or via beginCommand()/endCommand() calls) between a beginMacro() and endMacro() block are collapsed into a single undo command, which will be applied or rolled back in a single step.
