bool

fixQPictureDpi

Applies a workaround to a QPainter to avoid an issue with incorrect scaling when drawing QPictures.

imageOffset

Returns the offset which should be used when drawing the source image on to a destination render context.

source

Returns the source QPicture.

sourceAsImage

Returns the source QPicture rendered to a new QImage.

type

rtype:

str

boundingRect(self, rect: QRectF, context: QgsRenderContext) QRectF
clone(self) QgsDropShadowEffect
Return type:

QgsDropShadowEffect

create(map: Dict[str, Any]) QgsPaintEffect

Creates a new QgsDropShadowEffect effect from a properties string map.

Parameters:

map (Dict[str) – encoded properties string map

Return type:

QgsPaintEffect

Returns:

new QgsDropShadowEffect

exteriorShadow(self) bool
Return type:

bool

fixQPictureDpi(self, painter: QPainter)

Applies a workaround to a QPainter to avoid an issue with incorrect scaling when drawing QPictures. This may need to be called by derived classes prior to rendering results onto a painter.

Parameters:

painter – destination painter

imageOffset(self, context: QgsRenderContext) QPointF

Returns the offset which should be used when drawing the source image on to a destination render context.

Parameters:

sourceAsImage()

sourceAsImage(self, context: QgsRenderContext) QImage

Returns the source QPicture rendered to a new QImage. The draw() member can utilize this when drawing the effect. The image will be padded or cropped from the original source QPicture by the results of the boundingRect() method. The result is cached to speed up subsequent calls to sourceAsImage.

Returns:

source QPicture rendered to an image
