Class: QgsPointCloudExtentRenderer

class qgis.core.QgsPointCloudExtentRenderer(symbol: QgsFillSymbol = None)

Bases: QgsPointCloudRenderer

Constructor for QgsPointCloudExtentRenderer.

Optionally the symbol to use for showing the extent can be specified. If specified, ownership is transferred to the renderer. If no symbol is specified a default one will be created instead.

A renderer for 2d visualisation of point clouds which shows the dataset’s extents using a fill symbol.

Methods
