Class: QgsMapToolCaptureLayerGeometry¶

class qgis.gui.QgsMapToolCaptureLayerGeometry¶

Bases: QgsMapToolCapture

QgsMapToolCaptureLayerGeometry is a base class for map tools digitizing layer geometries This map tool subclass automatically handles intersection avoidance with other layers in the active project whenever a geometry is digitized by the user.

New in version 3.26.

toMapCoordinates

Transforms a point from screen coordinates to map coordinates.

addTopologicalPoints(self, vertices: Iterable[QgsPointXY]) → QgsMapToolEdit.TopologicalResult¶

Adds a list of vertices to other features to keep topology up to date, e.g. to neighbouring polygons. The vertices list specifies a set of topological points to add, in the layer’s coordinate reference system.

Deprecated since version QGIS: 3.12 - will be removed in QGIS 4.0. Use the variant which accepts QgsPoint objects instead of QgsPointXY.

addTopologicalPoints(self, vertices: Iterable[QgsPoint]) -> QgsMapToolEdit.TopologicalResult Adds a list of vertices to other features to keep topology up to date, e.g. to neighbouring polygons. The vertices list specifies a set of topological points to add, in the layer’s coordinate reference system.

New in version 3.10.

addVertex(self, point: QgsPointXY) → int¶

Adds a point to the rubber band (in map coordinates) and to the capture list (in layer coordinates)

Returns:: 0 in case of success, 2 if coordinate transformation failed

addVertex(self, mapPoint: QgsPointXY, match: QgsPointLocator.Match) -> int Variant to supply more information in the case of snapping

Parameters:

mapPoint – The vertex to add in map coordinates
match – Data about the snapping match. Can be an invalid match, if point not snapped.

New in version 2.14.

Returns:: 0 in case of success 1 if not applicable (CRS mismatch / invalid layer) 2 in case of failure

New in version 2.14.
