Subgroup: Point

Class: QgsPoint

class qgis.core.QgsPoint(x: float = 0, y: float = 0, z: object = Py_None, m: object = Py_None, wkbType: QgsWkbTypes.Type = QgsWkbTypes.Unknown)

Bases: qgis._core.QgsAbstractGeometry

Construct a point with the provided initial coordinate values.

If wkbType is set to QgsWkbTypes.Point, QgsWkbTypes.PointZ, QgsWkbTypes.PointM or QgsWkbTypes.PointZM the type will be set accordingly. If it is left to the default QgsWkbTypes.Unknown, the type will be set based on the following rules: - If only x and y are specified, the type will be a 2D point. - If any or both of the Z and M are specified, the appropriate type will be created.

pt = QgsPoint(43.4, 5.3)
pt.asWkt() # Point(43.4 5.3)

pt_z = QgsPoint(120, 343, 77)
pt.asWkt() # PointZ(120 343 77)

pt_m = QgsPoint(33, 88, m=5)
pt_m.m() # 5
pt_m.wkbType() # QgsWkbTypes.PointM

pt = QgsPoint(30, 40, wkbType=QgsWkbTypes.PointZ)
pt.z() # nan
pt.wkbType() # QgsWkbTypes.PointZ

QgsPoint(p: QgsPointXY) Construct a QgsPoint from a QgsPointXY object

QgsPoint(p: Union[QPointF, QPoint]) Construct a QgsPoint from a QPointF

QgsPoint(QgsPoint)

Point geometry type, with support for z-dimension and m-values.

project(self, distance: float, azimuth: float, inclination: float = 90) → QgsPoint

Returns a new point which correspond to this point projected by a specified distance with specified angles (azimuth and inclination). M value is preserved.

Parameters:
  • distance – distance to project
  • azimuth – angle to project in X Y, clockwise in degrees starting from north
  • inclination – angle to project in Z (3D). If the point is 2D, the Z value is assumed to be 0.
Returns:

The point projected. If a 2D point is projected a 3D point will be returned except if inclination is 90. A 3D point is always returned if a 3D point is projected. Example:

p = QgsPoint( 1, 2 ) # 2D point
pr = p.project ( 1, 0 )
# pr is a 2D point: 'Point (1 3)'
pr = p.project ( 1, 0, 90 )
# pr is a 2D point: 'Point (1 3)'
pr = p.project (1, 0, 0 )
# pr is a 3D point: 'PointZ (1 2 1)'
p = QgsPoint( QgsWkbTypes.PointZ, 1, 2, 2 ) # 3D point
pr = p.project ( 1, 0 )
# pr is a 3D point: 'PointZ (1 3 2)'
pr = p.project ( 1, 0, 90 )
# pr is a 3D point: 'PointZ (1 3 2)'
pr = p.project (1, 0, 0 )
# pr is a 3D point: 'PointZ (1 2 3)'
