Class: QgsFillSymbolLayer¶

Abstract base class for fill symbol layers.

Note

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

The following methods must be implemented: QgsSymbolLayer.clone(), QgsSymbolLayer.layerType(), QgsSymbolLayer.properties(), renderPolygon(), QgsSymbolLayer.startRender(), QgsSymbolLayer.stopRender()

Class Hierarchy¶

Base classes¶

QgsSymbolLayer

Abstract base class for symbol layers.

Subclasses¶

`QgsCentroidFillSymbolLayer`	A fill symbol layer which renders a marker symbol at the centroid of a polygon geometry.
`QgsGradientFillSymbolLayer`	A fill symbol layer which draws a smooth color gradient over a polygon.
`QgsImageFillSymbolLayer`	Base class for fill symbol layers which fill polygons with a repeated image.
`QgsRandomMarkerFillSymbolLayer`	A fill symbol layer which places markers at random locations within polygons.
`QgsShapeburstFillSymbolLayer`	A fill symbol layer which applies a gradient from the outer edges of a symbol to the inside.
`QgsSimpleFillSymbolLayer`	Renders polygons using a single fill and stroke color.

Abstract Methods

renderPolygon

Renders the fill symbol layer for the polygon whose outer ring is defined by points, using the given render context.

Methods

`angle`	Returns the rotation angle of the fill symbol, in degrees clockwise.
`setAngle`	Sets the rotation angle of the pattern, in degrees clockwise.

Virtual Methods

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

toTiledPatternImage

Renders the symbol layer as an image that can be used as a seamless pattern fill for polygons, this method is used by SLD export to generate image tiles for ExternalGraphic polygon fills.

class qgis.core.QgsFillSymbolLayer[source]¶

Bases: QgsSymbolLayer

angle(self) → float[source]¶

Returns the rotation angle of the fill symbol, in degrees clockwise.

Note

Not all fill symbol layers support rotation.
