Class: QgsProjectViewSettings

class qgis.core.QgsProjectViewSettings

Bases: PyQt5.QtCore.QObject

Contains settings and properties relating to how a QgsProject should be displayed inside map canvas, e.g. map scales and default view extent for the project.

New in version 3.10.1.

QgsProjectViewSettings(project: QgsProject = None) Constructor for QgsProjectViewSettings for the specified project.

Ownership is transferred to the project.

Methods

childEvent

connectNotify

customEvent

defaultRotation

Returns the default map rotation (in clockwise degrees) for maps in the project.

defaultViewExtent

Returns the default view extent, which should be used as the initial map extent when this project is opened.

disconnectNotify

fullExtent

Returns the full extent of the project, which represents the maximal limits of the project.

isSignalConnected

mapScales

Returns the list of custom project map scales.

presetFullExtent

Returns the project's preset full extent.

readXml

Reads the settings's state from a DOM element.

receivers

reset

Resets the settings to a default state.

sender

senderSignalIndex

setDefaultRotation

Set the default rotation of maps in the project, in clockwise degrees.

setDefaultViewExtent

Sets the default view extent, which should be used as the initial map extent when this project is opened.

setMapScales

Sets the list of custom project map scales.

setPresetFullExtent

Sets the project's preset full extent.

setUseProjectScales

Sets whether project mapScales() are enabled.

timerEvent

useProjectScales

Returns True if project mapScales() are enabled.

writeXml

Returns a DOM element representing the settings.

Signals

mapScalesChanged

pyqtSignal(*types, name: str = ..., revision: int = ..., arguments: Sequence = ...) -> PYQT_SIGNAL

presetFullExtentChanged

pyqtSignal(*types, name: str = ..., revision: int = ..., arguments: Sequence = ...) -> PYQT_SIGNAL

childEvent(self, QChildEvent)
connectNotify(self, QMetaMethod)
customEvent(self, QEvent)
defaultRotation(self) float

Returns the default map rotation (in clockwise degrees) for maps in the project.

Warning

When a project is opened in the QGIS desktop application and saved, individual map canvases will store their own previous map rotations as custom project properties. Reloading this saved version of the project will trigger the canvases to restore their individual rotations. Accordingly, in the QGIS desktop application, this setting only forms a default, initial view used when the project is opened for the very first time (or when new map canvases are opened in that project.)

New in version 3.28.

Return type:

float

defaultViewExtent(self) QgsReferencedRectangle

Returns the default view extent, which should be used as the initial map extent when this project is opened.

Warning

When a project is opened in the QGIS desktop application and saved, individual map canvases will store their own previous view extent as custom project properties. Reloading this saved version of the project will trigger the canvases to restore their individual last view extents. Accordingly, in the QGIS desktop application, this setting only forms a default, initial view used when the project is opened for the very first time.

Return type:

QgsReferencedRectangle

disconnectNotify(self, QMetaMethod)
fullExtent(self) QgsReferencedRectangle

Returns the full extent of the project, which represents the maximal limits of the project.

The returned extent will be in the project’s CRS.

If the presetFullExtent() is non null, this will be returned as the full extent. Otherwise the full extent will be calculated based on the extent of all layers in the project.

Return type:

QgsReferencedRectangle

isSignalConnected(self, QMetaMethod) bool
mapScales(self) List[float]

Returns the list of custom project map scales.

The scales list consists of a list of scale denominator values, e.g. 1000 for a 1:1000 scale.

setMapScales()

Return type:

List[float]

mapScalesChanged

pyqtSignal(*types, name: str = …, revision: int = …, arguments: Sequence = …) -> PYQT_SIGNAL

types is normally a sequence of individual types. Each type is either a type object or a string that is the name of a C++ type. Alternatively each type could itself be a sequence of types each describing a different overloaded signal. name is the optional C++ name of the signal. If it is not specified then the name of the class attribute that is bound to the signal is used. revision is the optional revision of the signal that is exported to QML. If it is not specified then 0 is used. arguments is the optional sequence of the names of the signal’s arguments.

Parameters:
  • name (str = ...) –

  • revision (int = ...) –

  • arguments (Sequence = ...) –

Return type:

PYQT_SIGNAL

presetFullExtent(self) QgsReferencedRectangle

Returns the project’s preset full extent.

This extent represents the maximal limits of the project. The full extent defaults to a null rectangle, which indicates that the maximal extent should be calculated based on the layers in the project.

fullExtent()

New in version 3.18.

Return type:

QgsReferencedRectangle

presetFullExtentChanged

  • arguments (Sequence = ...) –

Return type:

PYQT_SIGNAL

readXml(self, element: QDomElement, context: QgsReadWriteContext) bool

Reads the settings’s state from a DOM element.

writeXml()

Parameters:
Return type:

bool

receivers(self, PYQT_SIGNAL) int
reset(self)

Resets the settings to a default state.

sender(self) QObject
senderSignalIndex(self) int
setDefaultRotation(self, rotation: float)

Set the default rotation of maps in the project, in clockwise degrees.

Warning

Reloading this saved version of the project will trigger the canvases to restore their individual rotations. Accordingly, in the QGIS desktop application, this setting only forms a default, initial view used when the project is opened for the very first time (or when new map canvases are opened in that project.)

New in version 3.28.

Parameters:

rotation (float) –

setDefaultViewExtent(self, extent: QgsReferencedRectangle)

Sets the default view extent, which should be used as the initial map extent when this project is opened.

Parameters:

extent (QgsReferencedRectangle) –

setMapScales(self, scales: Iterable[float])

Sets the list of custom project map scales.

The scales list consists of a list of scale denominator values, e.g. 1000 for a 1:1000 scale.

mapScales()

Parameters:

scales (Iterable[float]) –

setPresetFullExtent(self, extent: QgsReferencedRectangle)

Sets the project’s preset full extent.

This extent represents the maximal limits of the project. Setting the full extent to a null rectangle indicates that the maximal extent should be calculated based on the layers in the project.

fullExtent()

New in version 3.18.

Parameters:

extent (QgsReferencedRectangle) –

setUseProjectScales(self, enabled: bool)

Sets whether project mapScales() are enabled.

When project map scales are enabled these scales will replace the default QGIS map scales list while working with this project.

setMapScales()

Parameters:

enabled (bool) –

timerEvent(self, QTimerEvent)
useProjectScales(self) bool

Returns True if project mapScales() are enabled.

When project map scales are enabled these scales will replace the default QGIS map scales list while working with this project.
