create a new instance of symbol layer given symbol layer name and properties

createSymbolLayerFromSld(self, name: str, element: QDomElement) → QgsSymbolLayer

create a new instance of symbol layer given symbol layer name and SLD

defaultSymbolLayer(type: QgsSymbol.SymbolType) → QgsSymbolLayer

create a new instance of symbol layer for specified symbol type with default settings

resolvePaths(self, name: str, properties: Dict[str, str], pathResolver: QgsPathResolver, saving: bool)

Resolve paths in properties of a particular symbol layer. This normally means converting relative paths to absolute paths when loading and converting absolute paths to relative paths when saving.
