Class: QgsGeometryPaintDevice¶

A paint device which converts everything renderer to a QgsGeometry representation of the rendered shapes.

Added in version 3.38.

Class Hierarchy¶

Methods

`geometry`	Returns the rendered geometry.
`setSimplificationTolerance`	Sets a simplification tolerance (in painter units) to use for on-the-fly simplification of geometries while rendering.
`setStrokedPathSegments`	Sets the number of segments to use when drawing stroked paths with a rounded pen.

Static Methods

Converts a painter path to a QgsGeometry.

class qgis.core.QgsGeometryPaintDevice[source]¶

Bases: QPaintDevice

__init__(usePathStroker: bool = False)

Constructor for QgsGeometryPaintDevice.

If usePathStroker is True, rendered paths will be converted using a stroke respecting the QPainter pen configuration.

Returns the rendered geometry.

static painterPathToGeometry(path: QPainterPath) → QgsGeometry[source]¶

Converts a painter path to a QgsGeometry.

Added in version 3.38.1.

setSimplificationTolerance(self, tolerance: float)[source]¶

Sets a simplification tolerance (in painter units) to use for on-the-fly simplification of geometries while rendering.

This will result in simpler, generalised paths.

Set tolerance to 0 to disable simplification. (No simplification is the default behavior).

setStrokedPathSegments(self, segments: int)[source]¶

Sets the number of segments to use when drawing stroked paths with a rounded pen.

The default is 8 segments, a smaller number will result in simpler paths.
