Class: QgsAbstractProfileSource¶

Interface for classes which can generate elevation profiles.

Added in version 3.26.

Note

This is an abstract class, with methods which must be implemented by a subclass.

The following methods must be implemented: createProfileGenerator()

Class Hierarchy¶

`QgsVectorLayer`	Represents a vector layer which manages a vector based dataset.
`QgsMeshLayer`	Represents a mesh layer supporting display of data on structured or unstructured meshes.
`QgsPointCloudLayer`	Represents a map layer supporting display of point clouds.
`QgsRasterLayer`	Represents a raster layer.

Abstract Methods

Given a profile request, returns a new profile generator ready for generating elevation profiles.

class qgis.core.QgsAbstractProfileSource[source]¶

Bases: object

abstract createProfileGenerator(self, request: QgsProfileRequest) → QgsAbstractProfileGenerator | None[source]¶

Given a profile request, returns a new profile generator ready for generating elevation profiles.

The caller takes ownership of the returned generator.

May return None if the source cannot generate a profile at this time.
