row range

rowsVisible(self, frameHeight: float, firstRow: int, includeHeader: bool, includeEmptyRows: bool) → int

Calculates how many content rows would be visible within a frame of the specified height.

Parameters
  • frameHeight – height of frame

  • firstRow – index of first row visible in frame (where 0 = first row in table)

  • includeHeader – set to True if frame would include a header row

  • includeEmptyRows – set to True to also include rows which would be empty in the returned count. For instance, if the frame would include all table content rows and have space left for extra rows then setting this parameter to True would also include a count of these extra blank rows.

Returns

number of visible content rows (excluding header row)

rowsVisible(self, frameIndex: int, firstRow: int, includeEmptyRows: bool) -> int Calculates how many content rows are visible within a given frame.

Parameters
  • frameIndex – index number for frame

  • firstRow – index of first row visible in frame (where 0 = first row in table)

  • includeEmptyRows – set to True to also include rows which would be empty in the returned count. For instance, if the frame would include all table content rows and have space left for extra rows then setting this parameter to True would also include a count of these extra blank rows.

Returns

number of visible content rows (excludes header rows)

sender(self) → QObject
senderSignalIndex(self) → int
setDisplayOnlyVisibleFeatures(self, visibleOnly: bool)

Sets the attribute table to only show features which are visible in a map item. Changing this setting forces the table to refetch features from its vector layer, and may result in the table changing size to accommodate the new displayed feature attributes.

See also

setMap()

Parameters

visibleOnly (bool) –

setDisplayedFields(self, fields: Iterable[str], refresh: bool = True)

Sets the attributes to display in the table.

Parameters
  • fields (Iterable[str]) – list of fields names from the vector layer to show. Set to an empty list to show all feature attributes.

  • refresh (bool = True) – set to True to force the table to refetch features from its vector layer and immediately update the display of the table. This may result in the table changing size to accommodate the new displayed feature attributes.

setFeatureFilter(self, expression: str)

Sets the expression used for filtering features in the table. The filter is only active if filterFeatures() is set to True. Changing this setting forces the table to refetch features from its vector layer, and may result in the table changing size to accommodate the new displayed feature attributes.

See also

featureFilter()

Parameters

expression (str) –

setFilterFeatures(self, filter: bool)

Sets whether the feature filter is active for the attribute table. Changing this setting forces the table to refetch features from its vector layer, and may result in the table changing size to accommodate the new displayed feature attributes.

See also

filterFeatures()

Parameters

filter (bool) –

setFilterToAtlasFeature(self, filterToAtlas: bool)

Sets attribute table to only show features which intersect the current atlas feature.

Parameters

filterToAtlas (bool) –

setMap(self, map: QgsLayoutItemMap)

Sets a layout map to use to limit the extent of features shown in the attribute table. This setting only has an effect if setDisplayOnlyVisibleFeatures is set to True. Changing the map forces the table to refetch features from its vector layer, and may result in the table changing size to accommodate the new displayed feature attributes.

See also

map()

Parameters

map (QgsLayoutItemMap) –

setMaximumNumberOfFeatures(self, features: int)

Sets the maximum number of features shown by the table. Changing this setting may result in the attribute table changing its size to accommodate the new number of rows, and requires the table to refetch features from its vector layer.
