Class: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystemRegistry

class qgis.core.QgsCoordinateReferenceSystemRegistry

Bases: PyQt5.QtCore.QObject

A registry for known coordinate reference system (CRS) definitions, including any user-defined CRSes.

QgsCoordinateReferenceSystemRegistry is not usually directly created, but rather accessed through QgsApplication.coordinateReferenceSystemRegistry().

New in version 3.18.

QgsCoordinateReferenceSystemRegistry(parent: QObject = None) Constructor for QgsCoordinateReferenceSystemRegistry, with the specified parent object.

Methods

addUserCrs

Adds a new crs definition as a custom ("USER") CRS.

celestialBodies

Returns a list of all known celestial bodies.

childEvent

connectNotify

customEvent

disconnectNotify

isSignalConnected

projOperations

Returns a map of all valid PROJ operations.

receivers

removeUserCrs

Removes the existing user CRS with matching id.

sender

senderSignalIndex

timerEvent

updateUserCrs

Updates the definition of the existing user CRS with matching id.

userCrsList

Returns a list containing the details of all registered custom (user-defined) CRSes.

Signals

crsDefinitionsChanged

Emitted whenever an operation has caused any of the known CRS definitions (including user-defined CRS) to change.

userCrsAdded

Emitted whenever a new user CRS definition is added.

userCrsChanged

Emitted whenever an existing user CRS definition is changed.

userCrsRemoved

Emitted when the user CRS with matching id is removed from the database.

class UserCrsDetails

Bases: sip.wrapper

Contains details of a custom (user defined) CRS.

New in version 3.18.

addUserCrs(self, crs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, name: str, nativeFormat: Qgis.CrsDefinitionFormat = Qgis.CrsDefinitionFormat.Wkt) int

Adds a new crs definition as a custom (“USER”) CRS.

Returns the new CRS srsid(), or -1 if the CRS could not be saved.

The nativeFormat argument specifies the format to use when saving the CRS definition. FormatWkt is recommended as it is a lossless format.

Warning

Not all CRS definitions can be represented as a Proj string, so take care when using the FormatProj option.

Parameters
Return type

int

celestialBodies(self) List[QgsCelestialBody]

Returns a list of all known celestial bodies.

Warning

This method requires PROJ 8.1 or later

Raises

QgsNotSupportedException – on QGIS builds based on PROJ 8.0 or earlier.

New in version 3.20.

Return type

List[QgsCelestialBody]

childEvent(self, QChildEvent)
connectNotify(self, QMetaMethod)
crsDefinitionsChanged

Emitted whenever an operation has caused any of the known CRS definitions (including user-defined CRS) to change. [signal]

customEvent(self, QEvent)
disconnectNotify(self, QMetaMethod)
isSignalConnected(self, QMetaMethod) bool
projOperations(self) Dict[str, QgsProjOperation]

Returns a map of all valid PROJ operations.

The map keys correspond to PROJ operation IDs.

New in version 3.20.

Return type

Dict[str, QgsProjOperation]

receivers(self, PYQT_SIGNAL) int
removeUserCrs(self, id: int) bool

Removes the existing user CRS with matching id.

Returns False if the CRS could not be removed.

userCrsRemoved()

Parameters

id (int) –

Return type

bool

sender(self) QObject
senderSignalIndex(self) int
timerEvent(self, QTimerEvent)
updateUserCrs(self, id: int, crs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, name: str, nativeFormat: Qgis.CrsDefinitionFormat = Qgis.CrsDefinitionFormat.Wkt) bool

Updates the definition of the existing user CRS with matching id.

The crs argument specifies a CRS with the desired new definition.

Returns False if the new CRS definition could not be saved.

The nativeFormat argument specifies the format to use when saving the CRS definition. FormatWkt is recommended as it is a lossless format.

Warning

Not all CRS definitions can be represented as a Proj string, so take care when using the FormatProj option.

Parameters
  • id (int) –

  • crs (QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem) –

  • name (str) –

  • nativeFormat (Qgis.CrsDefinitionFormat = Qgis.CrsDefinitionFormat.Wkt) –

Return type

bool

userCrsAdded

Emitted whenever a new user CRS definition is added.

The id argument specifies the ID of the user CRS which has been changed.

userCrsChanged()

See also

crsDefinitionsChanged() [signal]

Parameters

id (str) –

userCrsChanged

Emitted whenever an existing user CRS definition is changed.

The id argument specifies the ID of the user CRS which has been changed.

Objects which store QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem members should connect to this signal and update any stored CRS definitions to ensure that they always use the current definition of any user defined CRSes.

userCrsAdded() [signal]

Parameters

id (str) –

userCrsList(self) List[QgsCoordinateReferenceSystemRegistry.UserCrsDetails]

Returns a list containing the details of all registered custom (user-defined) CRSes.

Return type

List[QgsCoordinateReferenceSystemRegistry.UserCrsDetails]

userCrsRemoved

Emitted when the user CRS with matching id is removed from the database.
