Class: QgsLayoutItemMapGridStack

class qgis.core.QgsLayoutItemMapGridStack(map: QgsLayoutItemMap)

Bases: QgsLayoutItemMapItemStack

Constructor for QgsLayoutItemMapGridStack, attached to the specified map.

QgsLayoutItemMapGridStack(QgsLayoutItemMapGridStack)

A collection of grids which is drawn above the map content in a QgsLayoutItemMap. The grid stack controls which grids are drawn and the order they are drawn in.

New in version 3.0.

Parameters

map

addGrid(self, grid: QgsLayoutItemMapGrid)

Adds a new map grid to the stack and takes ownership of the grid. The grid will be added to the end of the stack, and rendered above any existing map grids already present in the stack.

Note

After adding a grid to the stack, updateBoundingRect() and update() should be called for the QgsLayoutItemMap to prevent rendering artifacts.

Parameters

grid (QgsLayoutItemMapGrid) –

addItem()
asList(self) → object

Returns a list of QgsLayoutItemMapGrids contained by the stack.

Return type

object

calculateMaxGridExtension(self) → Tuple[float, float, float, float]

Calculates the maximum distance grids within the stack extend beyond the QgsLayoutItemMap’s item rect. This method calculates the distance for each side of the map item separately.

Return type

Tuple[float, float, float, float]

grid(self, gridId: str) → QgsLayoutItemMapGrid

Returns a reference to a grid with matching gridId within the stack.

grid(self, index: int) -> QgsLayoutItemMapGrid Returns a reference to a grid at the specified index within the stack.

Parameters

gridId (str) –

Return type

QgsLayoutItemMapGrid

item()
maxGridExtension(self) → float

Calculates the maximum distance grids within the stack extend beyond the QgsLayoutItemMap’s item rect.

Return type

float

moveGridDown(self, gridId: str)

Moves a grid with matching gridId down the stack, causing it to be rendered below other grids.

Note

After moving a grid within the stack, update() should be called for the QgsLayoutItemMap to redraw the map with the new grid stack order.

moveGridUp()

Parameters

gridId (str) –

moveGridUp(self, gridId: str)

Moves a grid with matching gridId up the stack, causing it to be rendered above other grids.

Note

After moving a grid within the stack, update() should be called for the QgsLayoutItemMap to redraw the map with the new grid stack order.

readXml(self, elem: QDomElement, doc: QDomDocument, context: QgsReadWriteContext) → bool
Parameters
Return type

bool

removeGrid(self, gridId: str)

Removes a grid with matching gridId from the stack and deletes the corresponding QgsLayoutItemMapGrid.
