`joinStyle`	Returns the buffer join style.
`opacity`	Returns the buffer opacity.
`paintEffect`	Returns the current paint effect for the buffer.
`readFromLayer`	Reads settings from a layer's custom properties (for QGIS 2.x projects).

`setSizeMapUnitScale`	Sets the map unit scale object for the buffer size.
`setSizeUnit`	Sets the units used for the buffer size.
`size`	Returns the size of the buffer.
`sizeMapUnitScale`	Returns the map unit scale object for the buffer size.
`sizeUnit`	Returns the units for the buffer size.
`updateDataDefinedProperties`	Updates the format by evaluating current values of data defined properties.

blendMode(self) → QPainter.CompositionMode¶

Returns the blending mode used for drawing the buffer.

setBlendMode()

Return type:: QPainter.CompositionMode

color(self) → QColor¶

Returns the color of the buffer.

See also

setColor()

Return type:: QColor

enabled(self) → bool¶

Returns whether the buffer is enabled.

See also

setEnabled()

Return type:: bool

fillBufferInterior(self) → bool¶

Returns whether the interior of the buffer will be filled in. If False, only the stroke of the text will be drawn as the buffer. The effect of this setting is only visible for semi-transparent text.

setFillBufferInterior()

Return type:: bool

joinStyle(self) → Qt.PenJoinStyle¶

Returns the buffer join style.

See also

setJoinStyle()

Return type:: Qt.PenJoinStyle

opacity(self) → float¶

Returns the buffer opacity. The opacity is a double value between 0 (fully transparent) and 1 (totally opaque).

setOpacity()

Return type:: float

paintEffect(self) → QgsPaintEffect¶

Returns the current paint effect for the buffer.

Return type:: QgsPaintEffect
Returns:: paint effect

setPaintEffect()

readFromLayer(self, layer: QgsVectorLayer)¶

Reads settings from a layer’s custom properties (for QGIS 2.x projects).

Parameters:: layer (QgsVectorLayer) – source vector layer

readXml(self, elem: QDomElement)¶

Read settings from a DOM element.

writeXml()

Parameters:: elem (QDomElement) –

referencedFields(self, context: QgsRenderContext) → Set[str]¶

Returns all field names referenced by the configuration (e.g. from data defined properties).

New in version 3.14.

Parameters:: context (QgsRenderContext) –
Return type:: Set[str]

setBlendMode(self, mode: QPainter.CompositionMode)¶

Sets the blending mode used for drawing the buffer.

Parameters:: mode (QPainter.CompositionMode) – blending mode

blendMode()

setColor(self, color: QColor | Qt.GlobalColor)¶

Sets the color for the buffer.

Parameters:: color (Union[QColor) – buffer color

See also

color()

setEnabled(self, enabled: bool)¶

Sets whether the text buffer will be drawn.

Parameters:: enabled (bool) – set to True to draw buffer

See also

enabled()

setFillBufferInterior(self, fill: bool)¶

Sets whether the interior of the buffer will be filled in.

Parameters:: fill (bool) – set to False to drawn only the stroke of the text as the buffer, or True to also shade the area inside the text. The effect of this setting is only visible for semi-transparent text.

setJoinStyle(self, style: Qt.PenJoinStyle)¶

Sets the join style used for drawing the buffer.
