Class: QgsMaterialSettingsAbstractMetadata¶

Stores metadata about one 3D material settings class.

Note

It’s necessary to implement createMaterialSettings() function. In C++ you can use QgsMaterialSettingsMetadata convenience class.

Warning

This is not considered stable API, and may change in future QGIS releases. It is exposed to the Python bindings as a tech preview only.

Added in version 3.16.

Note

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

The following methods must be implemented: create(), supportsTechnique()

Abstract Methods

`create`	Creates a new instance of this material settings type.
`supportsTechnique`	Returns `True` if the material type supports the specified rendering technique.

Methods

`icon`	Returns an icon representing the material type, if available.
`type`	Returns the unique material type string.
`visibleName`	Returns the material's visible (translated) name.

class qgis.core.QgsMaterialSettingsAbstractMetadata[source]¶

Bases: object

__init__(type: str | None, visibleName: str | None, icon: QIcon = QIcon())

An optional icon can be specified to represent the material type.

Parameters:

Creates a new instance of this material settings type.

Caller takes ownership of the returned object.
