Class: QgsMeshLayer

class qgis.core.QgsMeshLayer

Bases: QgsMapLayer

Represents a mesh layer supporting display of data on structured or unstructured meshes

The QgsMeshLayer is instantiated by specifying the name of a data provider, such as mdal, and url defining the specific data set to connect to. The vector layer constructor in turn instantiates a QgsMeshDataProvider subclass corresponding to the provider type, and passes it the url. The data provider connects to the data source.

The QgsMeshLayer provides a common interface to the different data types. It does not yet support editing transactions.

The main data providers supported by QGIS are listed below.

The memory data provider is used to construct in memory data, for example scratch data. There is no inherent persistent storage of the data. The data source uri is constructed. Data can be populated by setMesh(const QString &vertices, const QString &faces), where vertices and faces is comma separated coordinates and connections for mesh. E.g. to create mesh with one quad and one triangle

uri = "1.0, 2.0 \n" \
    "2.0, 2.0 \n" \
    "3.0, 2.0 \n" \
    "2.0, 3.0 \n" \
    "1.0, 3.0 \n" \
    "---" \
    "0, 1, 3, 4 \n" \
    "1, 2, 3 \n"

scratchLayer = QgsMeshLayer(uri, "My Scratch layer", "mesh_memory")

Accesses data using the MDAL drivers (https://github.com/lutraconsulting/MDAL). The url is the MDAL connection string. QGIS must be built with MDAL support to allow this provider.

uri = "test/land.2dm"
scratchLayer = QgsMeshLayer(uri, "My Scratch Layer",  "mdal")

Note

The API is considered EXPERIMENTAL and can be changed without a notice

New in version 3.2.

QgsMeshLayer(path: str = ‘’, baseName: str = ‘’, providerLib: str = ‘’, options: QgsMeshLayer.LayerOptions = QgsMeshLayer.LayerOptions()) Constructor - creates a mesh layer
