Class: QgsFeedback

class qgis.core.QgsFeedback(parent: QObject = None)

Bases: PyQt5.QtCore.QObject

Construct a feedback object

Base class for feedback objects to be used for cancellation of something running in a worker thread. The class may be used as is or it may be subclassed for extended functionality for a particular operation (e.g. report progress or pass some data for preview).

When cancel() is called, the internal code has two options to check for cancellation state: - if the worker thread uses an event loop (e.g. for network communication), the code can make a queued connection to canceled() signal and handle the cancellation in its slot. - if the worker thread does not use an event loop, it can poll isCanceled() method regularly to see if the operation should be canceled.

The class is meant to be created and destroyed in the main thread.

For map rendering, the object may be created in constructor of a QgsMapLayerRenderer subclass and available with QgsMapLayerRenderer.feedback() method. When a map rendering job gets canceled, the cancel() method is called on the feedback object of all layers.

New in version 3.0.

Parameters

parent

cancel(self)

Tells the internal routines that the current operation should be canceled. This should be run by the main thread
