data(self, role: int) → Any
Parameters

role (int) –

Return type

Any

disconnectNotify()
drawSymbol(self, settings: QgsLegendSettings, ctx: QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode.ItemContext, itemHeight: float) → QSizeF
Parameters
Return type

QSizeF

flags(self) → Qt.ItemFlags
Return type

Qt.ItemFlags

iconSize(self) → QSize

isScaleOK(self, scale: float) → bool
Parameters

scale (float) –

Return type

bool

isSignalConnected()
minimumIconSize(self) → QSize

Calculates the minimum icon size to prevent cropping. When evaluating the size for multiple icons it is more efficient to create a single render context in advance and use the variant which accepts a QgsRenderContext argument.

New in version 2.10.

minimumIconSize(self, context: QgsRenderContext) -> QSize Calculates the minimum icon size to prevent cropping. When evaluating the size for multiple icons it is more efficient to create a single render context in advance and call this method instead of minimumIconSize().

New in version 2.18.

Return type

QSize
