Class: QgsMapRendererTask

class qgis.core.QgsMapRendererTask(ms: QgsMapSettings, fileName: str, fileFormat: str = '', forceRaster: bool = False)

Bases: QgsTask

Constructor for QgsMapRendererTask to render a map to an image file.

If the output fileFormat is set to PDF, the geoPdf argument controls whether a GeoPDF file is created. See QgsAbstractGeoPdfExporter.geoPDFCreationAvailable() for conditions on GeoPDF creation availability.

QgsMapRendererTask(ms: QgsMapSettings, p: QPainter) Constructor for QgsMapRendererTask to render a map to a QPainter object.

QgsTask task which draws a map to an image file or a painter as a background task. This can be used to draw maps without blocking the QGIS interface.

New in version 3.0:

Adds annotations to be rendered on the map.

addDecorations

Adds decorations to be rendered on the map.

setExportMetadata

Sets whether metadata such as title and subject will be exported whenever possible.

setProgress

Sets the task's current progress.

setSaveWorldFile

Sets whether the image file will be georeferenced (embedded or via a world file).

timerEvent

Signals

errorOccurred

Emitted when map rendering failed.

renderingComplete

Emitted when the map rendering is successfully completed.

Attributes

addAnnotations(self, annotations: Iterable[QgsAnnotation])

Adds annotations to be rendered on the map.

Parameters

annotations (Iterable[QgsAnnotation]) –

addDecorations(self, decorations: Iterable[QgsMapDecoration])

Adds decorations to be rendered on the map.

Parameters

decorations (Iterable[QgsMapDecoration]) –

cancel(self)
childEvent(self, QChildEvent)
connectNotify(self, QMetaMethod)
customEvent(self, QEvent)
disconnectNotify(self, QMetaMethod)
errorOccurred

Emitted when map rendering failed. [signal]

Parameters

error (int) –

finished(self, result: bool)
Parameters

result (bool) –

isCanceled(self) bool

Will return True if task should terminate ASAP. If the task reports the CanCancel flag, then derived classes’ run() methods should periodically check this and terminate in a safe manner.

isSignalConnected(self, QMetaMethod) bool
receivers(self, PYQT_SIGNAL) int
renderingComplete

Emitted when the map rendering is successfully completed. [signal]

run(self) bool
Return type

bool

sender(self) QObject
senderSignalIndex(self) int
setExportMetadata(self, exportMetadata: bool)

Sets whether metadata such as title and subject will be exported whenever possible.

Parameters

exportMetadata (bool) –

setProgress(self, progress: float)

Sets the task’s current progress. The derived class should call this method whenever the task wants to update its progress. Calling will automatically emit the progressChanged signal.

Parameters

progress – percent of progress, from 0.0 - 100.0

setSaveWorldFile(self, save: bool)

Sets whether the image file will be georeferenced (embedded or via a world file).

Parameters

save (bool) –

timerEvent(self, QTimerEvent)
