Class: QgsSymbolLegendNode

class qgis.core.QgsSymbolLegendNode(nodeLayer: QgsLayerTreeLayer, item: QgsLegendSymbolItem, parent: QObject = None)

Bases: qgis._core.QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode

Constructor for QgsSymbolLegendNode.

Parameters:
  • nodeLayer – layer node
  • item – the legend symbol item
  • parent – attach a parent QObject to the legend node.

Implementation of legend node interface for displaying preview of vector symbols and their labels and allowing interaction with the symbol / renderer.

invalidateMapBasedData(self)
isScaleOK(self, scale: float) → bool
isSignalConnected()
minimumIconSize(self) → QSize

Calculates the minimum icon size to prevent cropping. When evaluating the size for multiple icons it is more efficient to create a single render context in advance and use the variant which accepts a QgsRenderContext argument.

New in version 2.10.

minimumIconSize(self, context: QgsRenderContext) -> QSize Calculates the minimum icon size to prevent cropping. When evaluating the size for multiple icons it is more efficient to create a single render context in advance and call this method instead of minimumIconSize().

setSymbol(self, symbol: QgsSymbol)

Sets the symbol to be used by the legend node. The symbol change is also propagated to the associated vector layer’s renderer.

Parameters:symbol – new symbol for node. Ownership is transferred.
