Class: QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode

class qgis.core.QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode(nodeL: QgsLayerTreeLayer, parent: QObject = None)

Bases: PyQt5.QtCore.QObject

Construct the node with pointer to its parent layer node

The QgsLegendRendererItem class is abstract interface for legend items returned from QgsMapLayerLegend implementation.

The objects are used in QgsLayerTreeModel. Custom implementations may offer additional interactivity and customized look.

Methods

checkAllItems

Returns a temporary context or None if legendMapViewData are not valid

customEvent

data

Returns data associated with the item.

disconnectNotify

draw

Entry point called from QgsLegendRenderer to do the rendering.

drawSymbol

Draws symbol on the left side of the item

drawSymbolText

Draws label on the right side of the item

exportSymbolToJson

Adds a symbol in base64 string within a JSON object with the key “icon”.

exportToJson

Entry point called from QgsLegendRenderer to do the rendering in a JSON object.

customEvent(self, QEvent)
data(self, role: int)Any

Returns data associated with the item. Must be implemented in derived class.

Parameters

role (int) –

Return type

disconnectNotify(self, QMetaMethod)
draw(self, settings: QgsLegendSettings, ctx: QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode.ItemContext)QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode.ItemMetrics

Entry point called from QgsLegendRenderer to do the rendering. Default implementation calls drawSymbol() and drawSymbolText() methods.

If ctx is None, this is just first stage when preparing layout - without actual rendering.

Parameters
Return type

QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode.ItemMetrics

drawSymbol(self, settings: QgsLegendSettings, ctx: QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode.ItemContext, itemHeight: float)QSizeF

Draws symbol on the left side of the item

Parameters
  • settings (QgsLegendSettings) – Legend layout configuration

  • ctx (QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode.ItemContext) – Context for rendering - may be None if only doing layout without actual rendering

  • itemHeight (float) – Minimal height of the legend item - used for correct positioning when rendering

Return type

QSizeF

Returns

Real size of the symbol (may be bigger than “normal” symbol size from settings)

drawSymbolText(self, settings: QgsLegendSettings, ctx: QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode.ItemContext, symbolSize: QSizeF)QSizeF

Draws label on the right side of the item

Parameters
  • settings (QgsLegendSettings) – Legend layout configuration

  • ctx (QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode.ItemContext) – Context for rendering - may be None if only doing layout without actual rendering

  • symbolSize (QSizeF) – Real size of the associated symbol - used for correct positioning when rendering

Return type

QSizeF

Returns

Size of the label (may span multiple lines)

exportSymbolToJson(self, settings: QgsLegendSettings, context: QgsRenderContext)Dict[str, QJsonValue]

Adds a symbol in base64 string within a JSON object with the key “icon”.

Parameters

New in version 3.8.

Return type

Dict[str, QJsonValue]

exportToJson(self, settings: QgsLegendSettings, context: QgsRenderContext)Dict[str, QJsonValue]

Entry point called from QgsLegendRenderer to do the rendering in a JSON object.

Parameters

New in version 3.8.

Return type

Dict[str, QJsonValue]

flags(self)Qt.ItemFlags

Returns item flags associated with the item. Default implementation returns Qt.ItemIsEnabled.

Return type
