attributeAdded¶

pyqtSignal(*types, name: str = …, revision: int = …, arguments: Sequence = …) -> PYQT_SIGNAL

types is normally a sequence of individual types. Each type is either a type object or a string that is the name of a C++ type. Alternatively each type could itself be a sequence of types each describing a different overloaded signal. name is the optional C++ name of the signal. If it is not specified then the name of the class attribute that is bound to the signal is used. revision is the optional revision of the signal that is exported to QML. If it is not specified then 0 is used. arguments is the optional sequence of the names of the signal’s arguments.

Parameters

name (str = ...) –
revision (int = ...) –
arguments (Sequence = ...) –

Return type

changeAttributeValue(self, fid: int, field: int, newValue: Any, oldValue: Any = None) → bool¶

Changed an attribute value (but does not commit it)

Parameters

fid (int) –
field (int) –
newValue (Any) –
oldValue (Any = None) –

Return type

bool

changeAttributeValues(self, fid: int, newValues: Dict[int, Any], oldValues: Dict[int, Any]) → bool¶

Changes values of attributes (but does not commit it).

Return type: bool
Returns: True if attributes are well updated, False otherwise

New in version 3.0.

Parameters

fid (int) –
newValues (Dict[int) –
oldValues (Dict[int) –

changeGeometry(self, fid: int, geom: QgsGeometry) → bool¶

Change feature’s geometry

Parameters

fid (int) –
geom (QgsGeometry) –

Return type

bool

changedAttributeValues(self) → object¶

See also

isFeatureGeometryChanged()

Return type: object

childEvent(self, QChildEvent)¶

commitChanges(self, commitErrors: Iterable[str]) → bool¶

Attempts to commit any changes to disk. Returns the result of the attempt. If a commit fails, the in-memory changes are left alone.

This allows editing to continue if the commit failed on e.g. a disallowed value in a Postgres database - the user can re-edit and try again.

The commits occur in distinct stages, (add attributes, add features, change attribute values, change geometries, delete features, delete attributes) so if a stage fails, it’s difficult to roll back cleanly. Therefore any error message also includes which stage failed so that the user has some chance of repairing the damage cleanly.

Parameters: commitErrors (Iterable[str]) –
Return type: bool
