grid

Returns a reference to a grid with matching gridId within the stack.

item

Returns a reference to the item at the specified index within the stack.

maxGridExtension

Calculates the maximum distance grids within the stack extend beyond the QgsLayoutItemMap's item rect.

moveGridDown

Moves a grid with matching gridId down the stack, causing it to be rendered below other grids.

moveGridUp

Moves a grid with matching gridId up the stack, causing it to be rendered above other grids.

moveItemDown
