Class: QgsMapToolDigitizeFeature

class qgis.gui.QgsMapToolDigitizeFeature(canvas: QgsMapCanvas, cadDockWidget: QgsAdvancedDigitizingDockWidget, mode: QgsMapToolCapture.CaptureMode = QgsMapToolCapture.CaptureNone)

Bases: QgsMapToolCapture

QgsMapToolDigitizeFeature is a map tool to digitize a feature geometry

Parameters
  • canvas – the map canvas

  • cadDockWidget – widget to setup advanced digitizing parameters

  • mode – type of geometry to capture (point/line/polygon), QgsMapToolCapture.CaptureNone to autodetect geometry

This tool digitizes geometry of new point/line/polygon features on already existing vector layers Once the map tool is enabled, user can digitize the feature geometry. A signal will then be emitted.

New in version 3.10:

activate(self)
addTopologicalPoints(self, vertices: Iterable[QgsPointXY]) QgsMapToolEdit.TopologicalResult

Adds a list of vertices to other features to keep topology up to date, e.g. to neighbouring polygons. The vertices list specifies a set of topological points to add, in the layer’s coordinate reference system.
