Class: QgsMapSettings

class qgis.core.QgsMapSettings

Bases: QgsTemporalRangeObject

The QgsMapSettings class contains configuration for rendering of the map. The rendering itself is done by QgsMapRendererJob subclasses.

In order to set up QgsMapSettings instance, it is necessary to set at least few members: extent, output size and layers.

Some systems use high DPI scaling that is an alternative to the traditional DPI scaling. The operating system provides Qt with a scaling ratio and it scales window, event, and desktop geometry. The Cocoa platform plugin sets the scaling ratio as QWindow.devicePixelRatio(). To properly render the map on such systems, the map settings device pixel ratio shall be set accordingly.
