Subgroup: Map

Class: QgsMapToolAdvancedDigitizing

class qgis.gui.QgsMapToolAdvancedDigitizing(canvas: QgsMapCanvas, cadDockWidget: QgsAdvancedDigitizingDockWidget)

Bases: qgis._gui.QgsMapToolEdit

Creates an advanced digitizing maptool

Parameters:
  • canvas – The map canvas on which the tool works
  • cadDockWidget

    The cad dock widget which will be used to adjust mouse events

    The QgsMapToolAdvancedDigitizing class is a QgsMapTool which gives event directly in map coordinates and allows filtering its events.

Events from QgsMapTool are caught and their QMouseEvent are transformed into QgsMapMouseEvent (with map coordinates). Events are then forwarded to corresponding virtual methods which can be reimplemented in subclasses. An event filter can be set on the map tool to filter and modify the events in map coordinates (QgsMapToolMapEventFilter).

Note

at the moment, the event filter is used by the CAD tools (QgsCadDocWidget).

Note

the event filter definition is not exposed in Python API to avoid any unexpected behavior.

Signals

Attributes

activate(self)

Registers this maptool with the cad dock widget

addTopologicalPoints()
cadCanvasMoveEvent(self, e: QgsMapMouseEvent)

Override this method when subclassing this class. This will receive adapted events from the cad system whenever a canvasMoveEvent is triggered and it’s not hidden by the cad’s construction mode.

Parameters:e – Mouse events prepared by the cad system
cadCanvasPressEvent(self, e: QgsMapMouseEvent)

Override this method when subclassing this class. This will receive adapted events from the cad system whenever a canvasPressEvent is triggered and it’s not hidden by the cad’s construction mode.

Parameters:e – Mouse events prepared by the cad system
cadCanvasReleaseEvent(self, e: QgsMapMouseEvent)

Override this method when subclassing this class. This will receive adapted events from the cad system whenever a canvasReleaseEvent is triggered and it’s not hidden by the cad’s construction mode.

Parameters:e – Mouse events prepared by the cad system
cadDockWidget(self) → QgsAdvancedDigitizingDockWidget
canvasMoveEvent(self, e: QgsMapMouseEvent)

Catch the mouse move event, filters it, transforms it to map coordinates and send it to virtual method

canvasPressEvent(self, e: QgsMapMouseEvent)

Catch the mouse press event, filters it, transforms it to map coordinates and send it to virtual method

canvasReleaseEvent(self, e: QgsMapMouseEvent)

Catch the mouse release event, filters it, transforms it to map coordinates and send it to virtual method

disconnectNotify()
isAdvancedDigitizingAllowed(self) → bool

Returns whether functionality of advanced digitizing dock widget is currently allowed.

Tools may decide to switch this support on/off based on the current state of the map tool. For example, in vertex tool before user picks a vertex to move, advanced digitizing dock widget should be disabled and only enabled once a vertex is being moved. Other map tools may keep advanced digitizing allowed all the time.

If true is returned, that does not mean that advanced digitizing is actually active, because it is up to the user to enable/disable it when it is allowed. sa setAdvancedDigitizingAllowed()

New in version 3.0.

isAutoSnapEnabled(self) → bool

Returns whether mouse events (press/move/release) should automatically try to snap mouse position (according to the snapping configuration of map canvas) before passing the mouse coordinates to the tool. This may be desirable default behavior for some map tools, but not for other map tools. It is therefore possible to configure the behavior by the map tool. sa isAutoSnapEnabled()
