Class: QgsPropertyTransformer

class qgis.core.QgsPropertyTransformer(minValue: float = 0, maxValue: float = 1)

Bases: sip.wrapper

Constructor for QgsPropertyTransformer

Parameters:
  • minValue – minimum expected value from source property
  • maxValue – maximum expected value from source property

QgsPropertyTransformer(other: QgsPropertyTransformer) Copy constructor.

Abstract base class for objects which transform the calculated value of a property. Possible uses include transformers which map a value into a scaled size or color from a gradient.

New in version 3.0: Methods

clone Returns a clone of the transformer.
create Factory method for creating a new property transformer of the specified type.
curveTransform Returns the curve transform applied to input values before they are transformed by the individual transform subclasses.
fromExpression Attempts to parse an expression into a corresponding property transformer.
loadVariant Loads this transformer from a QVariantMap, wrapped in a QVariant.
maxValue Returns the maximum value expected by the transformer.
minValue Returns the minimum value expected by the transformer.
setCurveTransform Sets a curve transform to apply to input values before they are transformed by the individual transform subclasses.
setMaxValue Sets the maximum value expected by the transformer.
setMinValue Sets the minimum value expected by the transformer.
toExpression Converts the transformer to a QGIS expression string.
toVariant Saves this transformer to a QVariantMap, wrapped in a QVariant.
transform Calculates the transform of a value.
transformNumeric Applies base class numeric transformations.
transformerType Returns the transformer type.

Bases: int

clone(self) → QgsPropertyTransformer

Returns a clone of the transformer.

create(type: QgsPropertyTransformer.Type) → QgsPropertyTransformer

Factory method for creating a new property transformer of the specified type.

Parameters:type – transformer type to create
curveTransform(self) → QgsCurveTransform

Returns the curve transform applied to input values before they are transformed by the individual transform subclasses.

fromExpression(expression: str) → Tuple[QgsPropertyTransformer, str, str]

Attempts to parse an expression into a corresponding property transformer.

Parameters:
  • expression – expression to parse
  • baseExpression – will be set to the component of the source expression which is used to calculate the input to the property transformer. This will be set to an empty string if a field reference is the transformer input.
  • fieldName – will be set to a field name which is used to calculate the input to the property transformer. This will be set to an empty string if an expression is the transformer input.
Returns:

corresponding property transformer, or None if expression could not be parsed to a transformer.

loadVariant(self, transformer: Any) → bool

Loads this transformer from a QVariantMap, wrapped in a QVariant. You can use QgsXmlUtils.readVariant to read it from an XML document.

toVariant()

maxValue(self) → float

Returns the maximum value expected by the transformer.

minValue()

setMaxValue()

minValue(self) → float

Returns the minimum value expected by the transformer.

maxValue()

setMinValue()

setCurveTransform(self, transform: QgsCurveTransform)

Sets a curve transform to apply to input values before they are transformed by the individual transform subclasses. Ownership of transform is transferred to the property transformer.

See also

curveTransform()

setMaxValue(self, max: float)

Sets the maximum value expected by the transformer.

Parameters:max – maximum value

setMinValue()

maxValue()

setMinValue(self, min: float)

Sets the minimum value expected by the transformer.

Parameters:min – minimum value

setMaxValue()

minValue()

toExpression(self, baseExpression: str) → str

Converts the transformer to a QGIS expression string. The baseExpression string consists of a sub-expression reflecting the parent property’s state.

toVariant(self) → Any

Saves this transformer to a QVariantMap, wrapped in a QVariant. You can use QgsXmlUtils.writeVariant to save it to an XML document.

loadVariant()

transform(self, context: QgsExpressionContext, value: Any) → Any

Calculates the transform of a value. Derived classes must implement this to perform their transformations on input values

Parameters:
  • context – expression context
  • value – input value to transform
transformNumeric(self, input: float) → float

Applies base class numeric transformations. Derived classes should call this to transform an input numeric value before they apply any transform to the result. This applies any curve transforms which may exist on the transformer.

transformerType(self) → QgsPropertyTransformer.Type

Returns the transformer type.
