Class: QgsPointCloudExtentRenderer

class qgis.core.QgsPointCloudExtentRenderer

Bases: QgsPointCloudRenderer

A renderer for 2d visualisation of point clouds which shows the dataset’s extents using a fill symbol.

New in version 3.18.

QgsPointCloudExtentRenderer(symbol: QgsFillSymbol = None) Constructor for QgsPointCloudExtentRenderer.

Optionally the symbol to use for showing the extent can be specified. If specified, ownership is transferred to the renderer. If no symbol is specified a default one will be created instead.

Methods

addPointToTriangulation	Adds a point to the list of points to be triangulated (only used when renderAsTriangles() is enabled)
clone	rtype: QgsPointCloudRenderer
copyCommonProperties	Copies common point cloud properties (such as point size and screen error) to the destination renderer.
create	Creates an extent renderer from an XML element.
createLegendNodes	param nodeLayer:
defaultFillSymbol	Returns a new instance of the default fill symbol to use for showing point cloud extents.
drawPoint	Draws a point using a color at the specified x and y (in map coordinates).
fillSymbol	Returns the symbol used to render the cloud's extent.
pointXY	Retrieves the x and y coordinate for the point at index i.
pointZ	Retrieves the z value for the point at index i.
renderBlock	param block:
renderExtent	Renders a polygon extent geometry to the specified render context.
restoreCommonProperties	Restores common renderer properties (such as point size and screen error) from the specified DOM element.
save	param doc:
saveCommonProperties	Saves common renderer properties (such as point size and screen error) to the specified DOM element.
setFillSymbol	Sets the symbol used to render the cloud's extent.
startRender	param context:
stopRender	param context:
type	rtype: str
