Class: QgsAbstractBabelFormat¶

Abstract base class for babel GPS formats.

Added in version 3.22.

Class Hierarchy¶

Subclasses¶

`QgsBabelGpsDeviceFormat`	A babel format capable of interacting directly with a GPS device.
`QgsBabelSimpleImportFormat`	A babel format capable of converting input files to GPX files.

Methods

`capabilities`	Returns the format's capabilities.
`name`	Returns the format's name.

Virtual Methods

In PyQGIS, only methods marked as virtual can be safely overridden in a Python subclass of QgsAbstractBabelFormat. See the FAQ for more details.

`exportCommand`	Generates a command for exporting GPS data into a different format using babel.
`importCommand`	Generates a command for importing data into a GPS format using babel.

Static Methods

featureTypeToArgument

Converts a GPS feature type to the equivalent babel argument.

class qgis.core.QgsAbstractBabelFormat[source]¶

Bases: object

__init__(name: str | None = '')

Constructor for QgsAbstractBabelFormat, with the specified name.

Parameters:: name (Optional[str] = '')

__init__(a0: QgsAbstractBabelFormat)

Parameters:: a0 (QgsAbstractBabelFormat)

capabilities(self) → Qgis.BabelFormatCapabilities[source]¶

Returns the format’s capabilities.

Return type:: Qgis.BabelFormatCapabilities

virtual exportCommand(self, babel: str | None, featureType: Qgis.GpsFeatureType, input: str | None, output: str | None, flags: Qgis.BabelCommandFlags | Qgis.BabelCommandFlag = Qgis.BabelCommandFlags()) → List[str][source]¶

Generates a command for exporting GPS data into a different format using babel.

Parameters:

babel (Optional[str]) – path to the babel executable
featureType (Qgis.GpsFeatureType) – type of GPS feature to export
input (Optional[str]) – input data path
output (Optional[str]) – output path
flags (Union[Qgis.BabelCommandFlags, Qgis.BabelCommandFlag] = Qgis.BabelCommandFlags()) – optional flags to control how babel command is generated

Returns an empty list if the format does not support exports (see capabilities()).

Return type:: List[str]

static featureTypeToArgument(type: Qgis.GpsFeatureType) → str[source]¶

Converts a GPS feature type to the equivalent babel argument.

Parameters:: type (Qgis.GpsFeatureType)
Return type:: str

virtual importCommand(self, babel: str | None, featureType: Qgis.GpsFeatureType, input: str | None, output: str | None, flags: Qgis.BabelCommandFlags | Qgis.BabelCommandFlag = Qgis.BabelCommandFlags()) → List[str][source]¶

Generates a command for importing data into a GPS format using babel.

Parameters:

babel (Optional[str]) – babel path to the babel executable
featureType (Qgis.GpsFeatureType) – type of GPS feature to import
input (Optional[str]) – input data path
output (Optional[str]) – output path
flags (Union[Qgis.BabelCommandFlags, Qgis.BabelCommandFlag] = Qgis.BabelCommandFlags()) – optional flags to control how babel command is generated

Returns an empty list if the format does not support imports (see capabilities()).

Return type:: List[str]

name(self) → str[source]¶

Returns the format’s name.

Return type:: str
