Class: QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination

class qgis.core.QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination

Bases: QgsProcessingDestinationParameter

A vector layer destination parameter, for specifying the destination path for a vector layer created by the algorithm.

Note

Consider using the more flexible QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink wherever possible.

New in version 3.0.

QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination(name: str, description: str = ‘’, type: QgsProcessing.SourceType = QgsProcessing.TypeVectorAnyGeometry, defaultValue: Any = None, optional: bool = False, createByDefault: bool = True) Constructor for QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination.

If createByDefault is False and the parameter is optional, then this destination output will not be created by default.

fromScriptCode(name: str, description: str, isOptional: bool, definition: str) QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination

Creates a new parameter using the definition from a script code.

Parameters

  • description (str) –

  • isOptional (bool) –

  • definition (str) –

Return type

QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination

fromVariantMap(self, map: Dict[str, Any]) bool
Parameters

map (Dict[str) –

Return type

bool

hasGeometry(self) bool

Returns True if the created layer is likely to include geometries. In cases were presence of geometry cannot be reliably determined in advance, this method will default to returning True.

Return type

bool

originalProvider(self) QgsProcessingProvider

Original (source) provider which this parameter has been derived from. In the case of destination parameters which are part of model algorithms, this will reflect the child algorithm’s provider which actually generates the parameter, as opposed to the provider which this parameter belongs to (i.e. the model provider)

New in version 3.2.

setDataType(self, type: QgsProcessing.SourceType)

Sets the layer type for the created vector layer.
