class qgis.core.QgsRasterTransparency

Bases: object

class TransparentSingleValuePixel

Bases: object

Defines the transparency for a range of single-band pixel values.

includeMaximum: bool

True if pixels matching the max value should be considered transparent, or False if only pixels less than the max value should be transparent.

Added in version 3.38.

includeMinimum: bool

True if pixels matching the min value should be considered transparent, or False if only pixels greater than the min value should be transparent.

Added in version 3.38.

max: float

Maximum pixel value to include in range.

min: float

Minimum pixel value to include in range.

opacity: float

Opacity for pixel, between 0 and 1.0.

Added in version 3.38.

property percentTransparent

class TransparentThreeValuePixel

Bases: object

Defines the transparency for a RGB pixel value.

blue: float

Blue pixel value.

fuzzyToleranceBlue: float

Fuzzy tolerance for blue values.

If non zero, the pixel’s blue component can deviate from values specified in this object by a maximum of this tolerance amount.

Added in version 3.40.

fuzzyToleranceGreen: float

Fuzzy tolerance for green values.

If non zero, the pixel’s green component can deviate from values specified in this object by a maximum of this tolerance amount.

Added in version 3.40.

fuzzyToleranceRed: float

Fuzzy tolerance for red values.

If non zero, the pixel’s red component can deviate from values specified in this object by a maximum of this tolerance amount.

Added in version 3.40.

green: float

Green pixel value.

opacity: float

Opacity for pixel, between 0 and 1.0.

Added in version 3.38.

property percentTransparent

red: float

Red pixel value.

alphaValue(self, value: float, globalTransparency: int = 255) → int

Returns the transparency value for a single value pixel.

Searches through the transparency list, and if a match is found, the global transparency value is scaled by the stored transparency value.

Parameters:

• value (float) – the needle to search for in the transparency hay stack

• globalTransparency (int = 255) – the overall transparency level for the layer

Deprecated since version 3.40: Use opacityForValue() instead.

Return type:

int

alphaValue(self, redValue: float, greenValue: float, blueValue: float, globalTransparency: int = 255) → int

Returns the transparency value for a RGB pixel.

Searches through the transparency list, if a match is found, the global transparency value is scaled by the stored transparency value.

Parameters:

• redValue (float) – the red portion of the needle to search for in the transparency hay stack

• greenValue (float) – the green portion of the needle to search for in the transparency hay stack

• blueValue (float) – the green portion of the needle to search for in the transparency hay stack

• globalTransparency (int = 255) – the overall transparency level for the layer

Deprecated since version 3.40: Use opacityForRgbValues() instead.

Return type:

int

initializeTransparentPixelList(self, value: float)

Resets the transparency list to a single value.

Parameters:

value (float)

initializeTransparentPixelList(self, redValue: float, greenValue: float, blueValue: float)

Resets the transparency list to single red, green, and blue values.

Parameters:

• redValue (float)

• greenValue (float)

• blueValue (float)

isEmpty(self) → bool

True if there are no entries in the pixel lists except the nodata value

Return type:

bool

opacityForRgbValues(self, redValue: float, greenValue: float, blueValue: float) → float

Returns the opacity (as a value from 0 to 1) for a set of RGB pixel values.

Searches through the transparency list, and if a match is found, returns the opacity corresponding to the values. Returns 1 if no matches are found.

If any of the red, green or blue values are NaN, 0 will be returned.

Added in version 3.38.

Parameters:

• redValue (float)

• greenValue (float)

• blueValue (float)

Return type:

float

opacityForValue(self, value: float) → float

Returns the opacity (as a value from 0 to 1) for a single value pixel.

Searches through the transparency list, and if a match is found, returns the opacity corresponding to the value. Returns 1 if no matches are found.

Added in version 3.38.

Parameters:

value (float)

Return type:

float

readXml(self, elem: QDomElement)

Reads the transparency information from an XML document.

Parameters:

elem (QDomElement)

setTransparentSingleValuePixelList(self, newList: Iterable[QgsRasterTransparency.TransparentSingleValuePixel])

Sets the transparent single value pixel list, replacing the whole existing list.
