addOutput(self, outputDefinition: QgsProcessingOutputDefinition) bool

Adds an output definition to the algorithm. Ownership of the definition is transferred to the algorithm. Returns True if the output could be successfully added, or False if the output could not be added (e.g. as a result of a duplicate name).

This should usually be called from a subclass’ initAlgorithm() implementation.

Note that in some cases output creation can be automatically performed when calling addParameter(). See the notes in addParameter() for a description of when this occurs.

initAlgorithm()

addParameter(self, parameterDefinition: QgsProcessingParameterDefinition, createOutput: bool = True) bool

Adds a parameter definition to the algorithm. Ownership of the definition is transferred to the algorithm. Returns True if parameter could be successfully added, or False if the parameter could not be added (e.g. as a result of a duplicate name).

This should usually be called from a subclass’ initAlgorithm() implementation.

If the createOutput argument is True, then a corresponding output definition will also be created (and added to the algorithm) where appropriate. E.g. when adding a QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination and createOutput is True, then a QgsProcessingOutputVectorLayer output will be created and added to the algorithm. There is no need to call addOutput() to manually add a corresponding output for this vector. If createOutput is False then this automatic output creation will not occur.

parameterAsAnnotationLayer(self, parameters: Dict[str, Any], name: str, context: QgsProcessingContext) QgsAnnotationLayer

Evaluates the parameter with matching name to an annotation layer.

Annotation layers will be taken from context’s active project. Callers do not need to handle deletion of the returned layer.

Warning

Working with annotation layers is generally not thread safe (unless the layers are from a QgsProject loaded directly in a background thread). Ensure your algorithm returns the QgsProcessingAlgorithm.FlagNoThreading flag or only accesses annotation layers from a prepareAlgorithm() or postProcessAlgorithm() step.

New in version 3.22.

parameterAsBool(self, parameters: Dict[str, Any], name: str, context: QgsProcessingContext) bool

Evaluates the parameter with matching name to a static boolean value.

parameterAsBoolean(self, parameters: Dict[str, Any], name: str, context: QgsProcessingContext) bool

New in version 3.8.

parameterAsColor(self, parameters: Dict[str, Any], name: str, context: QgsProcessingContext) QColor

Evaluates the parameter with matching name to a color, or returns an invalid color if the parameter was not set.

New in version 3.10.

parameterAsCompatibleSourceLayerPath(self, parameters: Dict[str, Any], name: str, context: QgsProcessingContext, compatibleFormats: Iterable[str], preferredFormat: str = '', feedback: QgsProcessingFeedback = None) str

Evaluates the parameter with matching name to a source vector layer file path of compatible format.

If the parameter is evaluated to an existing layer, and that layer is not of the format listed in the compatibleFormats argument, then the layer will first be exported to a compatible format in a temporary location. The function will then return the path to that temporary file.

compatibleFormats should consist entirely of lowercase file extensions, e.g. ‘shp’.

The preferredFormat argument is used to specify to desired file extension to use when a temporary layer export is required.

When an algorithm is capable of handling multi-layer input files (such as Geopackage), it is preferable to use parameterAsCompatibleSourceLayerPathAndLayerName() which may avoid conversion in more situations.

parameterAsCompatibleSourceLayerPathAndLayerName(self, parameters: Dict[str, Any], name: str, context: QgsProcessingContext, compatibleFormats: Iterable[str], preferredFormat: str = '', feedback: QgsProcessingFeedback = None) Tuple[str, str]

Evaluates the parameter with matching name to a source vector layer file path and layer name of compatible format.

If the parameter is evaluated to an existing layer, and that layer is not of the format listed in the compatibleFormats argument, then the layer will first be exported to a compatible format in a temporary location. The function will then return the path to that temporary file.

compatibleFormats should consist entirely of lowercase file extensions, e.g. ‘shp’.

The preferredFormat argument is used to specify to desired file extension to use when a temporary layer export is required. This defaults to shapefiles, because shapefiles are the future (don’t believe the geopackage hype!).

This method should be preferred over parameterAsCompatibleSourceLayerPath() when an algorithm is able to correctly handle files with multiple layers. Unlike parameterAsCompatibleSourceLayerPath(), it will not force a conversion in this case and will return the target layer name in the layerName argument.

Parameters
  • parameters – input parameter value map

  • name – name of target parameter

  • context – processing context

  • compatibleFormats – a list of lowercase file extensions compatible with the algorithm

  • preferredFormat – preferred format extension to use if conversion if required

  • feedback – feedback object

Returns

  • path to source layer, or nearly converted compatible layer

  • layerName: will be set to the target layer name for multi-layer sources (e.g. Geopackage)

Evaluates the parameter with matching name to a rectangular extent.

If crs is set, and the original coordinate reference system of the parameter can be determined, then the extent will be automatically reprojected so that it is in the specified crs. In this case the extent of the reproject rectangle will be returned.

If crs is set, and the original coordinate reference system of the parameter can be determined, then the extent will be automatically reprojected so that it is in the specified crs. Unlike parameterAsExtent(), the reprojected rectangle returned by this function will no longer be a rectangle itself (i.e. this method returns the geometry of the actual reprojected rectangle, while parameterAsExtent() returns just the extent of the reprojected rectangle).

parameterAsVectorLayer(self, parameters: Dict[str, Any], name: str, context: QgsProcessingContext) QgsVectorLayer

Evaluates the parameter with matching name to a vector layer.

postProcessAlgorithm(self, context: QgsProcessingContext, feedback: QgsProcessingFeedback) Dict[str, Any]

Allows the algorithm to perform any required cleanup tasks. The returned variant map includes the results evaluated by the algorithm. These may be output layer references, or calculated values such as statistical calculations.

The context argument specifies the context in which the algorithm was run.

Postprocess progress should be reported using the supplied feedback object. Additionally, well-behaved algorithms should periodically check feedback to determine whether the post processing should be canceled and exited early.

postProcessAlgorithm should be used to handle any thread-sensitive cleanup which is required by the algorithm. It will always be called from the same thread that context has thread affinity with. While this will generally be the main thread, it is not guaranteed. For instance, algorithms which are run as a step in a larger model or as a subcomponent of a script-based algorithm will call postProcessAlgorithm from the same thread as that model/script it being executed in.

postProcessAlgorithm will not be called if the prepareAlgorithm() step failed (returned False), or if an exception was raised by the processAlgorithm() step.

Returns

A map of algorithm outputs. These may be output layer references, or calculated values such as statistical calculations. Implementations which return a non-empty map will override any results returned by processAlgorithm().
