accept(self, visitor: QgsStyleEntityVisitorInterface) → bool¶

Parameters:: visitor (QgsStyleEntityVisitorInterface) –
Return type:: bool

adjustPointForReferencePosition(self, point: QPointF | QPoint, size: QSizeF, reference: QgsLayoutItem.ReferencePoint) → QPointF¶: Adjusts the specified point at which a reference position of the item sits and returns the top left corner of the item, if reference point were placed at the specified position.

applyDataDefinedSize(self, size: QgsLayoutSize) → QgsLayoutSize¶: Applies any present data defined size overrides to the specified layout size.

applyItemSizeConstraint(self, targetSize: QSizeF) → QSizeF¶: Applies any item-specific size constraint handling to a given targetSize in layout units. Subclasses can override this method if they need to apply advanced logic regarding item sizes, which cannot be covered by setFixedSize() or setMinimumSize(). Item size constraints are applied after fixed, minimum and data defined size constraints.
