QgsLayoutSnapper
(layout: QgsLayout)¶ Bases:
qgis._core.QgsLayoutSerializableObject
Constructor for QgsLayoutSnapper, attached to the specified
layout
.QgsLayoutSnapper(QgsLayoutSnapper)
Manages snapping grids and preset snap lines in a layout, and handles snapping points to the nearest grid coordinate/snap line when possible.

layout
(self) → QgsLayout¶
-
readXml
(self, gridElement: QDomElement, document: QDomDocument, context: QgsReadWriteContext) → bool¶ Sets the snapper’s state from a DOM element. snapperElement is the DOM node corresponding to the snapper.

setSnapToGrid
(self, enabled: bool)¶ Sets whether snapping to grid is
enabled
.See also
-
setSnapToGuides
(self, enabled: bool)¶ Sets whether snapping to guides is
enabled
.See also
-
setSnapToItems
(self, enabled: bool)¶ Sets whether snapping to items is
enabled
.See also

setSnapTolerance
(self, snapTolerance: int)¶ Sets the snap
tolerance
(in pixels) to use when snapping.See also

snapPoint
(self, point: Union[QPointF, QPoint], scaleFactor: float, horizontalSnapLine: QGraphicsLineItem = None, verticalSnapLine: QGraphicsLineItem = None, ignoreItems: Iterable[QgsLayoutItem] = []) → Tuple[QPointF, bool]¶ Snaps a layout coordinate
point
. Ifpoint
was snapped,snapped
will be set to true.The
scaleFactor
argument should be set to the transformation from scalar transform from layout coordinates to pixels, i.e. the graphics view transform().m11() value.This method considers snapping to the grid, snap lines, etc.
If the
horizontalSnapLine
andverticalSnapLine
arguments are specified, then the snapper will automatically display and position these lines to indicate snapping positions to item bounds.A list of items to ignore during the snapping can be specified via the
ignoreItems
list.See also
-
snapPointToGrid
(self, point: Union[QPointF, QPoint], scaleFactor: float) → Tuple[QPointF, bool, bool]¶ Snaps a layout coordinate
point
to the grid. Ifpoint
was snapped horizontally,snappedX
will be set to true. Ifpoint
was snapped vertically,snappedY
will be set to true.The
scaleFactor
argument should be set to the transformation from scalar transform from layout coordinates to pixels, i.e. the graphics view transform().m11() value.If snapToGrid() is disabled, this method will return the point unchanged.

-
snapPointToGuides
(self, original: float, orientation: Qt.Orientation, scaleFactor: float) → Tuple[float, bool]¶ Snaps an
original
layout coordinate to the guides. If the point was snapped,snapped
will be set to true.The
scaleFactor
argument should be set to the transformation from scalar transform from layout coordinates to pixels, i.e. the graphics view transform().m11() value.If snapToGuides() is disabled, this method will return the point unchanged.

-
snapPointToItems
(self, original: float, orientation: Qt.Orientation, scaleFactor: float, ignoreItems: Iterable[QgsLayoutItem], snapLine: QGraphicsLineItem = None) → Tuple[float, bool]¶ Snaps an
original
layout coordinate to the item bounds. If the point was snapped,snapped
will be set to true.The
scaleFactor
argument should be set to the transformation from scalar transform from layout coordinates to pixels, i.e. the graphics view transform().m11() value.If snapToItems() is disabled, this method will return the point unchanged.
A list of items to ignore during the snapping can be specified via the
ignoreItems
list.If
snapLine
is specified, the snapper will automatically show (or hide) the snap line based on the result of the snap, and position it at the correct location for the snap.See also
-
snapPointsToGrid
(self, points: object, scaleFactor: float) → Tuple[QPointF, bool, bool]¶ Snaps a set of
points
to the grid. If the points were snapped,snapped
will be set to true.The
scaleFactor
argument should be set to the transformation from scalar transform from layout coordinates to pixels, i.e. the graphics view transform().m11() value.If snapToGrid() is disabled, this method will not attempt to snap the points.
The returned value is the smallest delta which the points need to be shifted by in order to align one of the points to the grid.

snapPointsToGuides
(self, points: Iterable[float], orientation: Qt.Orientation, scaleFactor: float) → Tuple[float, bool]¶ Snaps a set of
points
to the guides. If the points were snapped,snapped
will be set to true.The
scaleFactor
argument should be set to the transformation from scalar transform from layout coordinates to pixels, i.e. the graphics view transform().m11() value.If snapToGuides() is disabled, this method will not attempt to snap the points.
The returned value is the smallest delta which the points need to be shifted by in order to align one of the points to a guide.

snapPointsToItems
(self, points: Iterable[float], orientation: Qt.Orientation, scaleFactor: float, ignoreItems: Iterable[QgsLayoutItem], snapLine: QGraphicsLineItem = None) → Tuple[float, bool]¶ Snaps a set of
points
to the item bounds. If the points were snapped,snapped
will be set to true.The
scaleFactor
argument should be set to the transformation from scalar transform from layout coordinates to pixels, i.e. the graphics view transform().m11() value.If snapToItems() is disabled, this method will not attempt to snap the points.
The returned value is the smallest delta which the points need to be shifted by in order to align one of the points to an item bound.

snapRect
(self, rect: QRectF, scaleFactor: float, horizontalSnapLine: QGraphicsLineItem = None, verticalSnapLine: QGraphicsLineItem = None, ignoreItems: Iterable[QgsLayoutItem] = []) → Tuple[QRectF, bool]¶ Snaps a layout coordinate
rect
. Ifrect
was snapped,snapped
will be set to true.Snapping occurs by moving the rectangle alone. The rectangle will not be resized as a result of the snap operation.
The
scaleFactor
argument should be set to the transformation from scalar transform from layout coordinates to pixels, i.e. the graphics view transform().m11() value.This method considers snapping to the grid, snap lines, etc.
If the
horizontalSnapLine
andverticalSnapLine
arguments are specified, then the snapper will automatically display and position these lines to indicate snapping positions to item bounds.A list of items to ignore during the snapping can be specified via the
ignoreItems
list.See also
