For non-point geometry subclasses (points are always valid!) we
now cache the results of a geometry validity check. Subsequent
checks utilise the cached result wherever possible.
Because QgsGeometry/QgsFeature objects are implicitly shared, this
means that we avoid a *lot* of duplicate validity checks as
features and geometries are thrown around during processing model
execution.
For the c++ api dox this expands to "\c nullptr" (the
\c directive indicates a code literal value), and for sipify/Python
it expands to ``None`` (`` is sphinx annotation for literal values)
Makes for nicer dox for both c++ and Python!
- len(QgsCurve) returns number of points in curve
- raise IndexErrors when calling pointN, xAt, yAt, zAt, mAt, setXAt, setYAt,
setMAt, setZAt with invalid vertex indices
- Add [] getter for retrieving specific vertices, eg. ls[0] returns QgsPoint(...)
- Add [] setter for setting specific (existing) vertices, e.g. ls[1] = QgsPoint(1,2)
- Add del support for removing vertices, e.g. del ls[1] removes the second vertex
Because:
- Exactly follows curves and doesn't require segmentizing input geometry
- Also interpolates z/m values if they are present in input geometry
- Is faster
Returns a new curve representing a substring of a curve, from
a start distance and end distance.
If z or m values are present, the output z and m will be interpolated using
the existing vertices' z or m values.
Handles curved geometries without loss.
