attributeDeleted

attributeDeleted(self, idx: int) [signal]

Parameters

idx (int) –

attributeRenamed

Emitted when an attribute has been renamed

Parameters

New in version 2.16: [signal]

attributeValueChanged

attributeValueChanged(self, fid: int, idx: int, a2: Any) [signal]

Parameters
  • fid (int) –

  • idx (int) –

changeAttributeValue(self, fid: int, field: int, newValue: Any, oldValue: Any = None) → bool

changeGeometry(self, fid: int, geom: QgsGeometry) → bool

Change feature’s geometry

Parameters
Return type

bool

changedAttributeValues(self) → object

Returns a map of features with changed attributes values which are not committed.

Return type

object

changedGeometries(self) → object

Return type

object

childEvent(self, QChildEvent)
commitChanges(self, commitErrors: Iterable[str]) → bool

Attempts to commit any changes to disk. Returns the result of the attempt. If a commit fails, the in-memory changes are left alone.

This allows editing to continue if the commit failed on e.g. a disallowed value in a Postgres database - the user can re-edit and try again.

The commits occur in distinct stages, (add attributes, add features, change attribute values, change geometries, delete features, delete attributes) so if a stage fails, it’s difficult to roll back cleanly. Therefore any error message also includes which stage failed so that the user has some chance of repairing the damage cleanly.

Parameters

commitErrors (Iterable[str]) –

Return type

bool
