The current approach of testing !vl || vl->geometryType() != NoGeometry
is not intuitive and has been the source of 2 recent bugs.
Replacing these tests with the new isSpatial() function makes it
immediately obvious what is being tested. It also allows for
non-spatial plugin layers to be correctly handled by overriding
this method.
A number of elements have both a <Name> and a <Title>. The Name is a text string used for machine-to-machine
communication while the Title is for the benefit of humans. For example, a dataset might have the descriptive Title
“Maximum Atmospheric Temperature” and be requested using the abbreviated Name “ATMAX”.
User can already set title for layers, groups and project. OWS name is based on the name used in layer tree. This name is more a label for humans than a name for machine-to-machine communication.
To add the capability to users to define Name as a text string for machine-to-machine communication, this pull-request adds:
* short name line edits to layers properties
* WMS data dialog to layer tree group (short name, title, abstract)
* short name line edits to project properties
* add a regexp validator "^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9\._-]*" to short name line edit accessible through a static method
* add a TreeName element in the fullProjectSettings
If a short name has been set for layers, groups and project it is used by QGIS Sever as the layer name.
Rationale:
- there was a lot of large objects passed by value, so potentially
there's a speed bump from this
- even for implicitly shared classes like QString/QList there's still
a (small) cost for copying the objects when there's no reason to
- it's the right thing to do!
- style manager is always enabled (client code does not need to distinguish between enabled/disabled state)
- layers currently active style is stored only in QgsMapLayer - in style manager it has entry with no data (avoids duplication of data)
This also solves issues with visibility presets and styles when some presets do not have stored style
- map layers have associated QgsMapLayerLegend instance
- QgsMapLayerLegend is interface for generation of legend with some default implementations
- QgsLayerTreeModelLegendNode is interface for representation of legend item in layer tree model with some default implementations
To complete the metadata tab and ilayer information, we add keywordlist,
metadata url and attribution information.
The user can add keywords to his layers, store a metadata url with type
and format and attribution title and url.
These data are reused by QGIS-Sever in the WMS GetCapabilities request.
This capability is sponsored by ifremer.
- Based of off work from Stefan Ziegler (pull request #331)
- Options inherited by embedded groups (which are still always italic)
- Original layer name now saved to project file (instead of adjusted display name)
- Fix bug where setting capitalization, then saving/reopening would permanently set capitalization
- [API] Add originalName() to QgsMapLayer to access original (pre-adjusted name)
- [API] Add setupFont() method to legend group items
- [API] Add updateLegendItemStyles() and updateLegendItemSymbologies() to QgsLegend to allow style option changes to become active without app restart
- update methods of existing classes
- add comment to methods missing in the sip bindings
- split up collective sip files into single files and use
same directory structure in python/ as in src/
- add a lot of missing classes (some might not make sense because of
missing python methods in those classes)
- remove some non-existing methods from the header files
- add scripts/sipdiff
- replace some usages of std::vector and std::set with QVector/QSet
