addGeometry(self, g: QgsAbstractGeometry | None) → bool

Parameters:

g (Optional[QgsAbstractGeometry])

Return type:

bool

asGml2(self, doc: QDomDocument, precision: int = 17, ns: str | None = '', axisOrder: QgsAbstractGeometry.AxisOrder = QgsAbstractGeometry.AxisOrder.XY) → QDomElement

Parameters:

• doc (QDomDocument)

• precision (int = 17)

• ns (Optional[str] = '')

• axisOrder (QgsAbstractGeometry.AxisOrder = QgsAbstractGeometry.AxisOrder.XY)

Return type:

QDomElement

asGml3(self, doc: QDomDocument, precision: int = 17, ns: str | None = '', axisOrder: QgsAbstractGeometry.AxisOrder = QgsAbstractGeometry.AxisOrder.XY) → QDomElement

Parameters:

• doc (QDomDocument)

• precision (int = 17)

• ns (Optional[str] = '')

• axisOrder (QgsAbstractGeometry.AxisOrder = QgsAbstractGeometry.AxisOrder.XY)

Return type:

QDomElement

calculateBoundingBox(self) → QgsRectangle

Default calculator for the minimal bounding box for the geometry. Derived classes should override this method if a more efficient bounding box calculation is available.

calculateBoundingBox3D(self) → QgsBox3D

childCount(self) → int

childGeometry(self, index: int) → QgsAbstractGeometry | None

childPoint(self, index: int) → QgsPoint

Returns point at index (for geometries without child geometries - i.e. curve / point)

Note

used for vertex_iterator implementation

Added in version 3.0.

clear(self)

clearCache(self)

clone(self) → QgsMultiLineString | None

Return type:

Optional[QgsMultiLineString]

compareToSameClass(self, other: QgsAbstractGeometry | None) → int

createEmptyWithSameType(self) → QgsMultiLineString | None

Return type:

Optional[QgsMultiLineString]

fromCollectionWkt(self, wkt: str | None, subtypes: Iterable[QgsAbstractGeometry], defaultChildWkbType: str | None = '') → bool

Reads a collection from a WKT string.

fromWkt(self, wkt: str | None) → bool

Parameters:

wkt (Optional[str])

Return type:

bool

geometryType(self) → str

Return type:

str

hasChildGeometries(self) → bool

Returns whether the geometry has any child geometries (False for point / curve, True otherwise)

Returns the geometry converted to the more generic curve type QgsMultiCurve

Return type:

Optional[QgsMultiCurve]
