Get an image downloader for the raster legend

Parameters:mapSettings – map settings for legend providers supporting

contextual legends.

Returns:a download handler or null if the provider does not support

legend at all. Ownership of the returned object is transferred to caller.

New in version 2.8.

Returns true if raster has at least one populated histogram.

htmlMetadata(self) → str

identify(self, point: QgsPointXY, format: QgsRaster.IdentifyFormat, boundingBox: QgsRectangle = QgsRectangle(), width: int = 0, height: int = 0, dpi: int = 96) → QgsRasterIdentifyResult
identifyFormatFromName(formatName: str) → QgsRaster.IdentifyFormat
identifyFormatLabel(format: QgsRaster.IdentifyFormat) → str
identifyFormatName(format: QgsRaster.IdentifyFormat) → str
identifyFormatToCapability(format: QgsRaster.IdentifyFormat) → QgsRasterInterface.Capability
initHistogram()
initStatistics()
isEditable(self) → bool

Checks whether the provider is in editing mode, i.e. raster write operations will be accepted. By default providers are not editable. Use setEditable() method to enable/disable editing.

setEditable()

New in version 3.0.

isSignalConnected()
lastError(self) → str

Returns the verbose error text for the last error in this provider

If an operation returns 0 (e.g. draw()), this function returns the text of the error associated with the failure. Interactive users of this provider can then, for example, call a QMessageBox to display the contents.

lastErrorFormat(self) → str

Returns the format of the error text for the last error in this provider

lastErrorTitle(self) → str

Returns the caption error text for the last error in this provider

If an operation returns 0 (e.g. draw()), this function returns the text of the error associated with the failure. Interactive users of this provider can then, for example, call a QMessageBox to display the contents.

providerCapabilities(self) → QgsRasterDataProvider.ProviderCapabilities

Returns flags containing the supported capabilities of the data provider.

New in version 3.0.

pyramidResamplingMethods(providerKey: str) → List[Tuple[str, str]]

Returns a list of pyramid resampling method name and label pairs for given provider

receivers()
reload(self) → bool

Reload data (data could change)

remove(self) → bool

Remove dataset

sender()
senderSignalIndex()
setDpi(self, dpi: int)

Sets the output device resolution.

setEditable(self, enabled: bool) → bool

Turns on/off editing mode of the provider. When in editing mode, it is possible to overwrite data of the provider using writeBlock() calls.

Returns:true if the switch to/from editing mode was successful

Note

Only some providers support editing mode and even those may fail to turn the underlying data source into editing mode, so it is necessary to check the return value whether the operation was successful.

statusChanged

Emit a message to be displayed on status bar, usually used by network providers (WMS,WCS)

validateCreationOptions(self, createOptions: Iterable[str], format: str) → str

Validates creation options for a specific dataset and destination format.

Note

used by GDAL provider only

Note

see also validateCreationOptionsFormat() in gdal provider for validating options based on format only

validatePyramidsConfigOptions(self, pyramidsFormat: QgsRaster.RasterPyramidsFormat, configOptions: Iterable[str], fileFormat: str) → str

Validates pyramid creation options for a specific dataset and destination format

Note

used by GDAL provider only

write(self, data: sip.voidptr, band: int, width: int, height: int, xOffset: int, yOffset: int) → bool
writeBlock(self, block: QgsRasterBlock, band: int, xOffset: int = 0, yOffset: int = 0) → bool

Writes pixel data from a raster block into the provider data source.

This will override previously stored pixel values. It is assumed that cells in the passed raster block are aligned with the cells of the data source. If raster block does not cover the whole area of the data source, only a subset of pixels covered by the raster block will be overwritten. By default, writing of raster data starts from the first cell of the raster - it is possible to set offset in pixels by specifying non-zero xOffset and yOffset values.

Writing is supported only by some data providers. Provider has to be in editing mode in order to allow write operations.
