Subgroup: Map

Class: QgsMapCanvasTracer

class qgis.gui.QgsMapCanvasTracer(canvas: QgsMapCanvas, messageBar: QgsMessageBar = None)

Bases: qgis._core.QgsTracer

Create tracer associated with a particular map canvas, optionally message bar for reporting

Extension of QgsTracer that provides extra functionality: - automatic updates of own configuration based on canvas settings - reporting of issues to the user via message bar - determines whether tracing is currently enabled by the user

A simple registry of tracer instances associated to map canvas instances is kept for convenience. (Map tools do not need to create their local tracer instances and map canvas API is not “polluted” by this optional functionality).
