addFrame
(self, frame: QgsLayoutFrame, recalcFrameSizes: bool = True)¶ Adds a
frame
to the multiframe.If
recalcFrameSizes
is set to true, then a recalculation of all existing frame sizes will be forced.See also
-
beginCommand
(self, commandText: str, command: QgsLayoutMultiFrame.UndoCommand = QgsLayoutMultiFrame.UndoNone)¶ Starts new undo command for this item. The
commandText
should be a capitalized, imperative tense description (e.g. “Add Map Item”). If specified, multiple consecutive commands for this item with the samecommand
will be collapsed into a single undo command in the layout history.See also

-
createNewFrame
(self, currentFrame: QgsLayoutFrame, pos: Union[QPointF, QPoint], size: QSizeF) → QgsLayoutFrame¶ Creates a new frame and adds it to the multi frame and layout.
- Parameters
currentFrame – an existing QgsLayoutFrame from which to copy the size and general frame properties (e.g., frame style, background, rendering settings).
pos – position of top-left corner of the new frame, in layout units
size – size of the new frame, in layout units

finalizeRestoreFromXml
(self)¶ Called after all pending items have been restored from XML. Multiframes can use this method to run steps which must take place after all items have been restored to the layout, such as connecting to signals emitted by other items, which may not have existed in the layout at the time readXml() was called. E.g. a scalebar can use this to connect to its linked map item after restoration from XML.

-
findNearbyPageBreak
(self, yPos: float) → float¶ Finds the optimal position to break a frame at.
- Parameters
yPos – maximum vertical position for break, in layout units.
- Returns
the optimal breakable position which occurs in the multi frame close to and before the specified yPos
-
fixedFrameSize
(self, frameIndex: int = -1) → QSizeF¶ Returns the fixed size for a frame, if desired. If the fixed frame size changes, the sizes of all frames can be recalculated by calling recalculateFrameRects().
- Parameters
frameIndex – frame number
- Returns
fixed size for frame. If the size has a width or height of 0, then the frame size is not fixed in that direction and frames can have variable width or height accordingly.

-
frame
(self, index: int) → QgsLayoutFrame¶ Returns the child frame at a specified
index
from the multiframe.See also
-
frameCount
(self) → int¶ Returns the number of frames associated with this multiframe.
See also
-
frameIndex
(self, frame: QgsLayoutFrame) → int¶ Returns the index of a
frame
within the multiframe.- Returns
index for frame if found, -1 if frame not found in multiframe
See also
-
frames
(self) → object¶ Returns a list of all child frames for this multiframe.

-
icon
(self) → QIcon¶ Returns the item’s icon.
-
isSignalConnected
()¶
-
minFrameSize
(self, frameIndex: int = -1) → QSizeF¶ Returns the minimum size for a frames, if desired. If the minimum size changes, the sizes of all frames can be recalculated by calling recalculateFrameRects().
- Parameters
frameIndex – frame number
- Returns
minimum size for frame. If the size has a width or height of 0, then the frame size has no minimum in that direction.

readObjectPropertiesFromElement
()¶
-
readPropertiesFromElement
(self, element: QDomElement, document: QDomDocument, context: QgsReadWriteContext) → bool¶ Sets multiframe state from a DOM element.
- Parameters
element – is the DOM element for the multiframe
document – DOM document
context – read write context
See also
Note that item subclasses should not rely on all other items being present in the layout at the time this method is called. Instead, any connections and links to other items must be made in the finalizeRestoreFromXml() method. E.g. when restoring a scalebar, the connection to the linked map’s signals should be implemented in finalizeRestoreFromXml(), not readPropertiesFromElement().

-
readXml
(self, itemElement: QDomElement, document: QDomDocument, context: QgsReadWriteContext, includeFrames: bool = False) → bool¶ Sets the item state from a DOM element.
- Parameters
itemElement – is the DOM node corresponding to item (e.g. ‘LayoutItem’ element)
document – DOM document
context – read write context
includeFrames – set to true to read state information about child frames from DOM

-
recalculateFrameRects
(self)¶ Forces a recalculation of all the associated frame’s scene rectangles. This method is useful for multiframes which implement a minFrameSize() or fixedFrameSize() method.

-
recalculateFrameSizes
(self)¶ Recalculates the portion of the multiframe item which is shown in each of its component frames. If the resize mode is set to anything but UseExistingFrames then this may cause new frames to be added or frames to be removed, in order to fit the current size of the multiframe’s content.

refreshDataDefinedProperty
(self, property: QgsLayoutObject.DataDefinedProperty = QgsLayoutObject.AllProperties)¶ Refreshes a data defined
property
for the multi frame by reevaluating the property’s value and redrawing the item with this new value. Ifproperty
is set to QgsLayoutObject.AllProperties then all data defined properties for the item will be refreshed.
-
removeFrame
(self, index: int, removeEmptyPages: bool = False)¶ Removes a frame by
index
from the multiframe. This method automatically removes the frame from the layout too.If
removeEmptyPages
is set to true, then pages which are empty after the frame is removed will also be removed from the layout.See also

-
type
(self) → int¶ Returns unique multiframe type id.
-
update
(self)¶ Forces a redraw of all child frames.

There is no corresponding setter for the uuid - it’s created automatically.
