Class: QgsPolygon

class qgis.core.QgsPolygon

Bases: QgsCurvePolygon

Constructor for an empty polygon geometry.

QgsPolygon(exterior: QgsLineString, rings: Iterable[QgsLineString] = []) Constructor for QgsPolygon, with the specified exterior ring and interior rings.

Ownership of exterior and rings is transferred to the polygon.

New in version 3.14.

QgsPolygon(QgsPolygon)

pointDistanceToBoundary

Returns the distance from a point to the boundary of the polygon (either the exterior ring or any closer interior rings).

setExteriorRing

param ring

setZMTypeFromSubGeometry

Updates the geometry type based on whether sub geometries contain z or m values.

New in version 3.0.

pointDistanceToBoundary(self, x: float, y: float) float

Returns the distance from a point to the boundary of the polygon (either the exterior ring or any closer interior rings). The returned distance will be negative if the point lies outside the polygon.
