renderPolygonStroke(self, points: QPolygonF, rings: Iterable[QPolygonF], context: QgsSymbolRenderContext)

Renders the line symbol layer along the outline of polygon, using the given render context.

The exterior ring of the polygon is specified in points. Optionally, interior rings are set via the rings argument.

renderPolyline()

Parameters:
renderPolyline(self, points: QPolygonF, context: QgsSymbolRenderContext)

Renders the line symbol layer along the line joining points, using the given render context.

Parameters:
restoreOldDataDefinedProperties(self, stringMap: Dict[str, Any])

Restores older data defined properties from string map.

New in version 3.0.

ringFilter(self) QgsLineSymbolLayer.RenderRingFilter

Returns the line symbol layer’s ring filter, which controls which rings are rendered when the line symbol is being used to draw a polygon’s rings.

This setting has no effect when the line symbol is not being rendered for a polygon.

New in version 3.6.

Return type:

QgsLineSymbolLayer.RenderRingFilter

setMapUnitScale(self, scale: QgsMapUnitScale)
Parameters:

scale (QgsMapUnitScale) –

setOffset(self, offset: float)

Sets the line’s offset.

Offset units are set via setOffsetUnit().

setRingFilter(self, filter: QgsLineSymbolLayer.RenderRingFilter)

Sets the line symbol layer’s ring filter, which controls which rings are rendered when the line symbol is being used to draw a polygon’s rings.

This setting has no effect when the line symbol is not being rendered for a polygon.

ringFilter()

New in version 3.6.

Parameters:

filter (QgsLineSymbolLayer.RenderRingFilter) –

setWidth(self, width: float)

Sets the width of the line symbol layer.

Calling this method updates the width of the line symbol layer, without changing the existing width units. It has different effects depending on the line symbol layer subclass, e.g. for a simple line layer it changes the stroke width of the line, for a marker line layer it changes the size of the markers used to draw the line.

See also

width()

Warning

Since the width units vary, this method is useful for changing the relative width of a line symbol layer only.

Parameters:

width (float) –

setWidthMapUnitScale(self, scale: QgsMapUnitScale)
Parameters:

scale (QgsMapUnitScale) –

setWidthUnit(self, unit: QgsUnitTypes.RenderUnit)

Sets the units for the line’s width.

Parameters:

unit (QgsUnitTypes.RenderUnit) – width units

See also

widthUnit()

width(self) float

Returns the estimated width for the line symbol layer.

Warning

This returned value is inaccurate if the symbol layer has sub-symbols with different width units. Use the overload accepting a QgsRenderContext argument instead for accurate sizes in this case.

See also

setWidth()

width(self, context: QgsRenderContext) -> float Returns the line symbol layer width, in painter units.

This method returns an accurate width by calculating the actual rendered width of the symbol layer using the provided render context.

setWidth()

New in version 3.4.5.

Return type:

float

widthMapUnitScale(self) QgsMapUnitScale
Return type:

QgsMapUnitScale

widthUnit(self) QgsUnitTypes.RenderUnit

Returns the units for the line’s width.
