Class: QgsMapRendererTask¶

QgsTask task which draws a map to an image file or a painter as a background task. This can be used to draw maps without blocking the QGIS interface.

Class Hierarchy¶

Base classes¶

`QgsTask`	Abstract base class for long running background tasks.
QObject

Methods

`addAnnotations`	Adds annotations to be rendered on the map.
`addDecorations`	Adds decorations to be rendered on the map.
`setExportMetadata`	Sets whether metadata such as title and subject will be exported whenever possible.
`setSaveWorldFile`	Sets whether the image file will be georeferenced (embedded or via a world file).

Signals

`errorOccurred`	Emitted when map rendering failed.
`renderingComplete`	Emitted when the map rendering is successfully completed.

Attributes

`ImageAllocationFail`
`ImageSaveFail`
`ImageUnsupportedFormat`

class qgis.core.QgsMapRendererTask[source]¶

Bases: QgsTask

__init__(ms: QgsMapSettings, fileName: str | None, fileFormat: str | None = '', forceRaster: bool = False, flags: QgsTask.Flags | QgsTask.Flag = QgsTask.CanCancel)

Constructor for QgsMapRendererTask to render a map to an image file.

Since QGIS 3.26 the optional flags argument can be used to control the task flags.

Parameters:

ms (QgsMapSettings)
fileName (Optional[str])
fileFormat (Optional[str] = '')
forceRaster (bool = False)
flags (Union[QgsTask.Flags, QgsTask.Flag] = QgsTask.CanCancel)

__init__(ms: QgsMapSettings, p: QPainter | None)

Constructor for QgsMapRendererTask to render a map to a QPainter object.

Parameters:

ms (QgsMapSettings)
p (Optional[QPainter])

class ErrorType¶: Bases: int

ImageAllocationFail = 1¶

ImageSaveFail = 2¶

ImageUnsupportedFormat = 3¶

Parameters:: decorations (Iterable[QgsMapDecoration])

signal errorOccurred(error: int)[source]¶

Emitted when map rendering failed.

Parameters:: error (int)

signal renderingComplete[source]¶: Emitted when the map rendering is successfully completed.

setExportMetadata(self, exportMetadata: bool)[source]¶

Sets whether metadata such as title and subject will be exported whenever possible.

Parameters:: exportMetadata (bool)

setSaveWorldFile(self, save: bool)[source]¶

Sets whether the image file will be georeferenced (embedded or via a world file).

Parameters:: save (bool)
