Class: QgsSizeScaleTransformer

class qgis.core.QgsSizeScaleTransformer(type: QgsSizeScaleTransformer.ScaleType = QgsSizeScaleTransformer.Linear, minValue: float = 0, maxValue: float = 1, minSize: float = 0, maxSize: float = 1, nullSize: float = 0, exponent: float = 1)

Bases: qgis._core.QgsPropertyTransformer

Constructor for QgsSizeScaleTransformer.

Parameters:
  • type – scaling type
  • minValue – minimum expected value
  • maxValue – maximum expected value
  • minSize – minimum size to return
  • maxSize – maximum size to return
  • nullSize – size to return for null values
  • exponent – exponent for Exponential scaling method

QgsSizeScaleTransformer(QgsSizeScaleTransformer)

type()

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

Attempts to parse an expression into a corresponding QgsSizeScaleTransformer.

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 QgsSizeScaleTransformer, or None if expression could not be parsed to a size scale transformer.
