Class: QgsProfileExporter¶

Handles exports of elevation profiles in various formats.

Added in version 3.32.

Methods

`run`	Runs the profile generation.
`toLayers`	Returns a list of vector layer containing the exported profile results.

class qgis.core.QgsProfileExporter[source]¶

Bases: object

__init__(sources: Iterable[QgsAbstractProfileSource], request: QgsProfileRequest, type: Qgis.ProfileExportType)

Constructor for QgsProfileExporter, using the provided list of profile sources to generate the results.

After construction, call run() to initiate the profile generation.

Parameters:

sources (Iterable[QgsAbstractProfileSource])
request (QgsProfileRequest)
type (Qgis.ProfileExportType)

run(self, feedback: QgsFeedback | None = None)[source]¶

Runs the profile generation. This method must be called before retrieving any results from the exporter.

This method is safe to run in a background thread.

Parameters:: feedback (Optional[QgsFeedback] = None)

toLayers(self) → List[QgsVectorLayer]¶

Returns a list of vector layer containing the exported profile results.

While this method attempts to condense all results into a single layer, multiple layers may be returned when the geometry types of exported features differs.

Ownership of the returned layers is transferred to the caller.

Return type:: List[QgsVectorLayer]
