Detailed Description

A marker symbol type, for rendering Point and MultiPoint geometries.

Definition at line 30 of file qgsmarkersymbol.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QgsMarkerSymbol()

QgsMarkerSymbol::QgsMarkerSymbol

(

const QgsSymbolLayerList &

layers = QgsSymbolLayerList()

)

Constructor for QgsMarkerSymbol, with the specified list of initial symbol layers.

Ownership of the layers are transferred to the symbol.

Definition at line 36 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

angle()

double QgsMarkerSymbol::angle

(

)

const

Returns the marker angle for the whole symbol.

Note that for symbols with multiple symbol layers, this will correspond just to the angle of the first symbol layer.

See also

setAngle()

Definition at line 56 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

bounds()

QRectF QgsMarkerSymbol::bounds	(	QPointF	point,
		QgsRenderContext &	context,
		const QgsFeature &	feature = QgsFeature()
	)		const

Returns the approximate bounding box of the marker symbol, which includes the bounding box of all symbol layers for the symbol.

It is recommended to use this method only between startRender() and stopRender() calls, or data defined rotation and offset will not be correctly calculated.

Parameters

point	location of rendered point in painter units
context	render context
feature	feature being rendered at point (optional). If not specified, the bounds calculation will not include data defined parameters such as offset and rotation

Returns

approximate symbol bounds, in painter units

Definition at line 586 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

clone()

QgsMarkerSymbol * QgsMarkerSymbol::clone ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns a deep copy of this symbol.

Ownership is transferred to the caller.

Implements QgsSymbol.

Definition at line 610 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

createSimple()

QgsMarkerSymbol * QgsMarkerSymbol::createSimple ( const QVariantMap &  properties )

static

Create a marker symbol with one symbol layer: SimpleMarker with specified properties.

This is a convenience method for easier creation of marker symbols.

Definition at line 25 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

dataDefinedAngle()

QgsProperty QgsMarkerSymbol::dataDefinedAngle

(

)

const

Returns data defined angle for whole symbol (including all symbol layers).

Returns

data defined angle, or invalid property if angle is not set at the marker level.

See also

setDataDefinedAngle()

Definition at line 109 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

dataDefinedSize()

QgsProperty QgsMarkerSymbol::dataDefinedSize

(

)

const

Returns data defined size for whole symbol (including all symbol layers).

Returns

data defined size, or invalid property if size is not set at the marker level.

See also

setDataDefinedSize

Definition at line 346 of file qgsmarkersymbol.cpp.

renderPoint()

void QgsMarkerSymbol::renderPoint	(	QPointF	point,
		const QgsFeature *	f,
		QgsRenderContext &	context,
		int	layer = -1,
		bool	selected = false
	)

Renders the symbol at the specified point, using the given render context.

The f argument is used to pass the feature currently being rendered (when available).

If only a single symbol layer from the symbol should be rendered, it should be specified in the layer argument. A layer of -1 indicates that all symbol layers should be rendered.

If selected is true then the symbol will be drawn using the "selected feature" style and colors instead of the symbol's normal style.
