Class: QgsPropertyCollectionStack

class qgis.core.QgsPropertyCollectionStack

Bases: QgsAbstractPropertyCollection

Constructor for QgsPropertyCollectionStack.

QgsPropertyCollectionStack(other: QgsPropertyCollectionStack) Copy constructor

An ordered stack of QgsPropertyCollection containers, where collections added later to the stack will take priority over earlier collections.

Methods

appendCollection

Appends a collection to the end of the stack, and transfers ownership of the collection to the stack.

at

Returns the collection at the corresponding index from the stack.

clear

Removes all collections from the stack.

collection

Returns the first collection with a matching name from the stack.

count

Returns the number of collections contained within the stack.

hasActiveProperties

Returns true if the collection has any active properties, or false if all properties within the collection are deactivated.

hasDynamicProperties

Returns true if the collection has any active, non-static properties, or false if either all non-static properties within the collection are deactivated or if the collection only contains static properties.

hasProperty

param key

isActive

Returns true if the stack contains an active property with the specified key.

loadVariant

param collection

prepare

param context

property

Returns the highest priority property with a matching key from within the stack.

propertyKeys

rtype

object

referencedFields

Returns the set of any fields referenced by the active properties from the stack.

toVariant

param definitions

value

Returns the calculated value of the highest priority property with the specified key from within the stack.

appendCollection(self, collection: QgsPropertyCollection)

Appends a collection to the end of the stack, and transfers ownership of the collection to the stack. Properties from the newly added collection will take priority over any existing properties with the same name.

Parameters

collection (QgsPropertyCollection) – collection to append. Ownership is transferred to the stack.

at(self, index: int) → QgsPropertyCollection

Returns the collection at the corresponding index from the stack.

Parameters

index (int) – position of collection, 0 based

Return type

QgsPropertyCollection

Returns

collection if one exists at the specified index

clear(self)

Removes all collections from the stack.

collection(self, name: str) → QgsPropertyCollection

Returns the first collection with a matching name from the stack.

Parameters

name (str) – name of collection to find

Return type

QgsPropertyCollection

Returns

collection if one exists with the specified name

count(self) → int

Returns the number of collections contained within the stack.

Return type

int

hasActiveProperties(self) → bool

Returns true if the collection has any active properties, or false if all properties within the collection are deactivated.

isActive()

Return type

bool

hasDynamicProperties(self) → bool

Returns true if the collection has any active, non-static properties, or false if either all non-static properties within the collection are deactivated or if the collection only contains static properties.

Return type

bool

hasProperty(self, key: int) → bool
Parameters

key (int) –

Return type

bool

isActive(self, key: int) → bool

Returns true if the stack contains an active property with the specified key.

Parameters

key (int) – integer key for property to test. The intended use case is that a context specific enum is cast to int and used for the key value.

Return type

bool

loadVariant(self, collection: Any, definitions: object) → bool
Parameters
  • collection (Any) –

  • definitions (object) –

prepare(self, context: QgsExpressionContext = QgsExpressionContext()) → bool
Parameters

Return type

bool

property(self, key: int) → QgsProperty

Returns the highest priority property with a matching key from within the stack.

Parameters

key (int) – integer key for property to return. The intended use case is that a context specific enum is cast to int and used for the key value.

Return type

QgsProperty

Returns

matching property, or null if no matching, active property found.

Return type

object

referencedFields(self, context: QgsExpressionContext = QgsExpressionContext()) → Set[str]

Returns the set of any fields referenced by the active properties from the stack.

Parameters

context (QgsExpressionContext = QgsExpressionContext()) – expression context the properties will be evaluated against.

Return type

Set[str]

toVariant(self, definitions: object) → Any
Parameters

definitions (object) –

Return type

Any

value(self, key: int, context: QgsExpressionContext, defaultValue: Any = None) → Any

Returns the calculated value of the highest priority property with the specified key from within the stack.

Parameters
  • key (int) – integer key for property to calculate. The intended use case is that a context specific enum is cast to int and used for the key value.

  • context (QgsExpressionContext) – expression context to evaluate property against

  • defaultValue (Any = None) – default value to return if no matching, active property found or if the property value cannot be calculated

Return type

Any

Returns

calculated property value, or default value if property could not be evaluated
