Subgroup: Simple

Class: QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase

class qgis.core.QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase(shape: QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase.Shape = QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase.Circle, size: float = DEFAULT_SIMPLEMARKER_SIZE, angle: float = DEFAULT_SIMPLEMARKER_ANGLE, scaleMethod: QgsSymbol.ScaleMethod = DEFAULT_SCALE_METHOD)

Bases: qgis._core.QgsMarkerSymbolLayer

Constructor for QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase.

Parameters:
  • shape – symbol shape for markers
  • size – symbol size (in mm)
  • angle – symbol rotation angle
  • scaleMethod – scaling method for data defined scaling

QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase(QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase)

Abstract base class for simple marker symbol layers. Handles creation of the symbol shapes but

leaves the actual drawing of the symbols to subclasses.

New in version 2.16: Methods

availableShapes Returns a list of all available shape types.
bounds
decodeShape Attempts to decode a string representation of a shape name to the corresponding shape.
encodeShape Encodes a shape to its string representation.
renderPoint
setShape Sets the rendered marker shape.
shape Returns the shape for the rendered marker symbol.
shapeIsFilled Returns true if a symbol shape has a fill.

availableShapes() → object

Returns a list of all available shape types.

bounds(self, point: Union[QPointF, QPoint], context: QgsSymbolRenderContext) → QRectF
decodeShape(name: str) → Tuple[QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase.Shape, bool]

Attempts to decode a string representation of a shape name to the corresponding shape.

Parameters:
  • name – encoded shape name
  • ok – if specified, will be set to true if shape was successfully decoded
Returns:

decoded name
