Class: QgsProcessingParameterDistance

class qgis.core.QgsProcessingParameterDistance(name: str, description: str = '', defaultValue: Any = None, parentParameterName: str = '', optional: bool = False, minValue: float = - DBL_MAX + 1, maxValue: float = DBL_MAX)

Bases: QgsProcessingParameterNumber

Constructor for QgsProcessingParameterDistance.

QgsProcessingParameterDistance(QgsProcessingParameterDistance)

A double numeric parameter for distance values. Linked to a source layer or CRS parameter to determine what units the distance values are in.

The number of decimals places shown in a distance parameter’s widget can be specified by setting the parameter’s metadata. For example:

param = QgsProcessingParameterDistance( 'VAL', 'Threshold')
# only show two decimal places in parameter's widgets, not 6:
param.setMetadata( {'widget_wrapper':
  { 'decimals': 2 }
})

  • description (str = '') –

  • defaultValue (Any = None) –

  • parentParameterName (str = '') –

  • optional (bool = False) –

  • minValue (float = -DBL_MAX+1) –

  • maxValue
