Raster shader takes ownership of the shader function instance

shade(self, value: float) → Tuple[bool, int, int, int, int]

Generates a new RGBA value based on one input value.

Parameters:
  • value – The original value to base a new RGBA value on
  • returnRedValue – The red component of the new RGBA value
  • returnGreenValue – The green component of the new RGBA value
  • returnBlueValue – The blue component of the new RGBA value
  • returnAlpha – The alpha component of the new RGBA value
Returns:

True if the return values are valid otherwise false

shade(self, redValue: float, greenValue: float, blueValue: float, alphaValue: float) -> Tuple[bool, int, int, int, int] Generates a new RGBA value based on an original RGBA value.

Parameters:
  • redValue – The red component of the original value to base a new RGBA value on
  • greenValue – The green component of the original value to base a new RGBA value on
  • blueValue – The blue component of the original value to base a new RGBA value on
  • alphaValue – The alpha component of the original value to base a new RGBA value on
  • returnRedValue – The red component of the new RGBA value
  • returnGreenValue – The green component of the new RGBA value
  • returnBlueValue – The blue component of the new RGBA value
  • returnAlpha – The alpha component of the new RGBA value
Returns:

True if the return values are valid otherwise false

writeXml(self, doc: QDomDocument, parent: QDomElement)

Writes shader state to an XML element.
