Class: QgsClipper

class qgis.core.QgsClipper

Bases: sip.wrapper

A class to trim lines and polygons to within a rectangular region. The functions in this class are likely to be called from within a render loop and hence need to as CPU efficient as possible. The main purpose of the functions in this class are to trim lines and polygons to lie within a rectangular region. This is necessary for drawing items to an X11 display which have a limit on the magnitude of the screen coordinates (+/- 32768, i.e. 16 bit integer).

Methods

clippedLine Takes a linestring and clips it to clipExtent
trimFeature Trims the given feature to a rectangular box.
trimPolygon

clippedLine(curve: QgsCurve, clipExtent: QgsRectangle) → QPolygonF

Takes a linestring and clips it to clipExtent

Parameters:
  • curve – the linestring
  • clipExtent – clipping bounds
Returns:

clipped line coordinates

trimFeature(x: Iterable[float], y: Iterable[float], shapeOpen: bool)

Trims the given feature to a rectangular box. Returns the trimmed feature in x and y. The shapeOpen parameter determines whether the function treats the points as a closed shape (polygon), or as an open shape (linestring).
