minimumIconSize(self) → QSize

Calculates the minimum icon size to prevent cropping. When evaluating the size for multiple icons it is more efficient to create a single render context in advance and use the variant which accepts a QgsRenderContext argument.

New in version 2.10.

minimumIconSize(self, context: QgsRenderContext) -> QSize Calculates the minimum icon size to prevent cropping. When evaluating the size for multiple icons it is more efficient to create a single render context in advance and call this method instead of minimumIconSize().
