attemptMoveBy(self, deltaX: float, deltaY: float)¶

deltaY (float) –

attemptResize(self, size: QgsLayoutSize, includesFrame: bool = False)¶

Attempts to resize the item to a specified target size. Note that the final size of the item may not match the specified target size, as items with a fixed or minimum size will place restrictions on the allowed item size. Data defined item size overrides will also override the specified target size.

If includesFrame is True, then the size specified by size includes the item’s frame.
