convertSymbolRotation(symbol: QgsSymbol, field: str)

Note

this function is used to convert old rotations expressions to symbol level DataDefined angle

convertSymbolSizeScale(symbol: QgsSymbol, method: Qgis.ScaleMethod, field: str)

Note

this function is used to convert old sizeScale expressions to symbol level DataDefined size

Return type:

float

Returns:

maximum value for heatmap shading. If 0, then maximum value will be automatically calculated.

modifyRequestExtent(self, extent: QgsRectangle, context: QgsRenderContext)
Parameters:
radius(self) float

Returns the radius for the heatmap

Return type:

renderFeature(self, feature: QgsFeature, context: QgsRenderContext, layer: int = -1, selected: bool = False, drawVertexMarker: bool = False) bool
Parameters:
  • feature (QgsFeature) –

  • context (QgsRenderContext) –

  • layer (int = -1) –

  • selected (bool = False) –

  • drawVertexMarker (bool = False) –

Return type:

bool

renderFeatureWithSymbol(self, feature: QgsFeature, symbol: QgsSymbol, context: QgsRenderContext, layer: int, selected: bool, drawVertexMarker: bool)

Render the feature with the symbol using context. Use layer to specify the symbol layer, selected to specify if it should be rendered as selected and drawVertexMarker to specify if vertex markers should be rendered.

renderQuality(self) float

Returns the render quality used for drawing the heatmap.

Return type:

float

Returns:

render quality. A value of 1 indicates maximum quality, and increasing the value will result in faster drawing but lower quality rendering.

renderVertexMarker(self, pt: QPointF | QPoint, context: QgsRenderContext)

render editing vertex marker at specified point

renderVertexMarkerPolygon(self, pts: QPolygonF, rings: Iterable[QPolygonF], context: QgsRenderContext)

render editing vertex marker for a polygon

Parameters:
Return type:

QDomElement

saveRendererData(self, doc: QDomDocument, element: QDomElement, context: QgsReadWriteContext)

Saves generic renderer data into the specified element.

This method should be called in a subclass’ save() implementation in order to store all common base class properties in the DOM element.

New in version 3.22.

setColorRamp(self, ramp: QgsColorRamp)

Sets the color ramp to use for shading the heatmap.

Parameters:

ramp (QgsColorRamp) – color ramp for heatmap. Ownership of ramp is transferred to the renderer.

colorRamp()

setMaximumValue(self, value: float)

Sets the maximum value used for shading the heatmap.

Parameters:

value (float) – maximum value for heatmap shading. Set to 0 for automatic calculation of maximum value.
