Class: QgsOptionsDialogBase

class qgis.gui.QgsOptionsDialogBase(settingsKey: str, parent: QWidget = None, fl: Union[Qt.WindowFlags, Qt.WindowType] = Qt.WindowFlags(), settings: QgsSettings = None)

Bases: PyQt5.QtWidgets.QDialog

Constructor

Parameters
  • settingsKeyQgsSettings subgroup key for saving/restore ui states, e.g. “ProjectProperties”.

  • parent – parent object (owner)

  • fl – widget flags

  • settings – custom QgsSettings pointer

A base dialog for options and properties dialogs that offers vertical tabs. It handles saving/restoring of geometry, splitter and current tab states, switching vertical tabs between icon/text to icon-only modes (splitter collapsed to left), and connecting QDialogButtonBox’s accepted/rejected signals to dialog’s accept/reject slots

To use:

# Start with copy of qgsoptionsdialog_template.ui and build options/properties dialog. # In source file for dialog, inherit this class instead of QDialog, then in constructor:

… setupUi( this ); // set up .ui file objects initOptionsBase( False ); // set up this class to use .ui objects, optionally restoring base ui … restoreOptionsBaseUi(); // restore the base ui with initOptionsBase or use this later on
