Class: QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase

class qgis.core.QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase(shape: QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase.Shape = QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase.Circle, size: float = DEFAULT_SIMPLEMARKER_SIZE, angle: float = DEFAULT_SIMPLEMARKER_ANGLE, scaleMethod: QgsSymbol.ScaleMethod = DEFAULT_SCALE_METHOD)

Bases: QgsMarkerSymbolLayer

Constructor for QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase.

Parameters
  • shape – symbol shape for markers

  • size – symbol size (in mm)

  • angle – symbol rotation angle

  • scaleMethod – scaling method for data defined scaling

Abstract base class for simple marker symbol layers. Handles creation of the symbol shapes but leaves the actual drawing of the symbols to subclasses.
