QgsPlotRectangularRubberBand

QgsPlotRectangularRubberBand is rectangular rubber band for use within QgsPlotCanvas widgets.

Methods

brush	Returns the brush used for drawing the rubber band.
canvas	Returns the canvas associated with the rubber band.
finish	Called when a rubber band use has finished and the rubber band is no longer required.
pen	Returns the pen used for drawing the rubber band.
setBrush	Sets the brush used for drawing the rubber band.
setPen	Sets the pen used for drawing the rubber band.
start	Called when a rubber band should be created at the specified starting position (in canvas coordinate space).
update	Called when a rubber band should be updated to reflect a temporary ending position (in canvas coordinate space).
updateRect	Calculates an updated bounding box rectangle from a original start position and new position.

class qgis.gui.QgsPlotRubberBand

Bases: QObject

__init__(canvas: QgsPlotCanvas | None = None)

Constructor for QgsPlotRubberBand.

Parameters:

canvas (Optional[QgsPlotCanvas] = None)

brush(self) → QBrush

Returns the brush used for drawing the rubber band.

pen()

Return type:

QBrush

canvas(self) → QgsPlotCanvas | None

Returns the canvas associated with the rubber band.

Return type:

Optional[QgsPlotCanvas]

finish(self, position: QPointF | QPoint = QPointF(), modifiers: Qt.KeyboardModifiers | Qt.KeyboardModifier = Qt.KeyboardModifiers()) → QRectF

Called when a rubber band use has finished and the rubber band is no longer required. Returns the final bounding box of the rubber band.

Parameters:

• position (Union[QPointF, QPoint] = QPointF())

• modifiers (Union[Qt.KeyboardModifiers, Qt.KeyboardModifier] = Qt.KeyboardModifiers())

Return type:

QRectF

pen(self) → QPen

Returns the pen used for drawing the rubber band.

setPen()

Parameters:

brush (Union[QBrush, Union[QColor, Qt.GlobalColor], QGradient])

setPen(self, pen: QPen | QColor | Qt.GlobalColor)

Sets the pen used for drawing the rubber band.

Parameters:

pen (Union[QPen, Union[QColor, Qt.GlobalColor]])

start(self, position: QPointF | QPoint, modifiers: Qt.KeyboardModifiers | Qt.KeyboardModifier)

Called when a rubber band should be created at the specified starting position (in canvas coordinate space).

Parameters:

• position (Union[QPointF, QPoint])

• modifiers (Union[Qt.KeyboardModifiers, Qt.KeyboardModifier])

update(self, position: QPointF | QPoint, modifiers: Qt.KeyboardModifiers | Qt.KeyboardModifier)

Called when a rubber band should be updated to reflect a temporary ending position (in canvas coordinate space).

Parameters:

• position (Union[QPointF, QPoint])

• modifiers (Union[Qt.KeyboardModifiers, Qt.KeyboardModifier])

updateRect(self, start: QPointF | QPoint, position: QPointF | QPoint, constrainSquare: bool, fromCenter: bool) → QRectF

Calculates an updated bounding box rectangle from a original start position and new position. If constrainSquare is True then the bounding box will be forced to a square shape. If fromCenter is True then the original start position will form the center point of the returned rectangle.

Parameters:

• start (Union[QPointF, QPoint])

• position (Union[QPointF, QPoint])

• constrainSquare (bool)

• fromCenter (bool)

Return type:

QRectF
