-
algorithm
(self) → QgsProcessingAlgorithm¶ Returns a pointer to the algorithm which owns this parameter. May be None for non-owned parameters.

- Return type
-
asScriptCode
(self) → str¶ Returns the parameter definition encoded in a string which can be used within a Python processing script.
- Return type
str
-
checkValueIsAcceptable
(self, input: Any, context: QgsProcessingContext = None) → bool¶ Checks whether the specified
input
value is acceptable for the parameter. Returns true if the value can be accepted. The optionalcontext
parameter can be specified to allow a more stringent check to be performed, capable of checking for the presence of required layers and other factors within the context.- Parameters
input (Any) –
context (
QgsProcessingContext
= None) –
- Return type
bool
-
clone
(self) → QgsProcessingParameterDefinition¶ Creates a clone of the parameter definition.
- Return type
-
defaultValue
(self) → Any¶ Returns the default value for the parameter.
See also
- Return type
Any
-
dependsOnOtherParameters
(self) → List[str]¶ Returns a list of other parameter names on which this parameter is dependent (e.g. field parameters which depend on a parent layer parameter).
- Return type
List[str]
-
description
(self) → str¶ Returns the description for the parameter. This is the user-visible string used to identify this parameter.
See also
- Return type
str
-
dynamicLayerParameterName
(self) → str¶ Returns the name of the parameter for a layer linked to a dynamic parameter, or an empty string if this is not set.
Dynamic parameters (see isDynamic()) can have an optional vector layer parameter linked to them, which indicates which layer the fields and values will be available from when evaluating the dynamic parameter.

flags
(self) → QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.Flags¶ Returns any flags associated with the parameter.

-
fromVariantMap
(self, map: Dict[str, Any]) → bool¶ Restores this parameter to a QVariantMap. Subclasses should ensure that they call the base class method.

- Parameters
map (Dict[str) –
- Return type
bool
-
isDestination
(self) → bool¶ Returns true if this parameter represents a file or layer destination, e.g. parameters which are used for the destination for layers output by an algorithm will return true.
- Return type
bool
-
isDynamic
(self) → bool¶ Returns true if the parameter supports is dynamic, and can support data-defined values (i.e.
QgsProperty
based values).See also

bool
-
metadata
(self) → Dict[str, Any]¶ Returns the parameter’s freeform metadata. This is mostly used by parameter widget wrappers in order to customize their appearance and behavior.

- Return type
Dict[str, Any]
-
name
(self) → str¶ Returns the name of the parameter. This is the internal identifier by which algorithms access this parameter.

- Return type
str
-
provider
(self) → QgsProcessingProvider¶ Returns a pointer to the provider for the algorithm which owns this parameter. May be None for non-owned parameters or algorithms.

setDefaultValue
(self, value: Any)¶ Sets the default
value
for the parameter. Caller takes responsibility to ensure thatvalue
is a valid input for the parameter subclass.See also
- Parameters
value (Any) –

setDescription
(self, description: str)¶ Sets the
description
for the parameter. This is the user-visible string used to identify this parameter.See also
- Parameters
description (str) –

setDynamicLayerParameterName
(self, name: str)¶ Sets the
name
for the parameter for a layer linked to a dynamic parameter, or an empty string if this is not set.Dynamic parameters (see isDynamic()) can have an optional vector layer parameter linked to them, which indicates which layer the fields and values will be available from when evaluating the dynamic parameter.
