Class: QgsAnnotationManager

class qgis.core.QgsAnnotationManager

Bases: PyQt5.QtCore.QObject

Manages storage of a set of QgsAnnotation annotation objects.

QgsAnnotationManager handles the storage, serializing and deserializing of QgsAnnotations. Usually this class is not constructed directly, but rather accessed through a QgsProject via QgsProject.annotationManager().

QgsAnnotationManager retains ownership of all the annotations contained in the manager.

QgsAnnotationManager(project: QgsProject = None) Constructor for QgsAnnotationManager. The project will become the parent object for this manager.

Methods

accept

Accepts the specified style entity visitor, causing it to visit all style entities associated within the contained annotations.

addAnnotation

Adds an annotation to the manager.

annotations

Returns a list of all annotations contained in the manager.

childEvent

clear

Removes and deletes all annotations from the manager.

cloneAnnotations

Returns a list containing clones of all annotations contained in the manager.

connectNotify

customEvent

disconnectNotify

isSignalConnected

readXml

Reads the manager's state from a DOM element, restoring all annotations present in the XML document.

receivers

removeAnnotation

Removes an annotation from the manager.

sender

senderSignalIndex

timerEvent

writeXml

accept(self, visitor: QgsStyleEntityVisitorInterface) bool

Accepts the specified style entity visitor, causing it to visit all style entities associated within the contained annotations.

Returns True if the visitor should continue visiting other objects, or False if visiting should be canceled.

New in version 3.10.

Parameters:

visitor (QgsStyleEntityVisitorInterface) –

Return type:

bool

addAnnotation(self, annotation: QgsAnnotation) bool

Adds an annotation to the manager. Ownership of the annotation is transferred to the manager. Returns True if the addition was successful, or False if the annotation could not be added.

Parameters:

annotation (QgsAnnotation) –

Return type:

bool

annotationAboutToBeRemoved

pyqtSignal(*types, name: str = …, revision: int = …, arguments: Sequence = …) -> PYQT_SIGNAL

types is normally a sequence of individual types. Each type is either a type object or a string that is the name of a C++ type. Alternatively each type could itself be a sequence of types each describing a different overloaded signal. name is the optional C++ name of the signal. If it is not specified then the name of the class attribute that is bound to the signal is used. revision is the optional revision of the signal that is exported to QML. If it is not specified then 0 is used. arguments is the optional sequence of the names of the signal’s arguments.

Parameters:
  • name (str = ...) –

  • revision (int = ...) –

  • arguments (Sequence = ...) –

Return type:

PYQT_SIGNAL

annotations(self) List[QgsAnnotation]

Returns a list of all annotations contained in the manager.

Return type:

List[QgsAnnotation]

childEvent(self, QChildEvent)
clear(self)

Removes and deletes all annotations from the manager.

cloneAnnotations(self) List[QgsAnnotation]
