Previously these methods would inconsistently handle the
edit buffer, eg uniqueValues would consider changed attributes
but not added features. Now uniqueValues, minimumValue and
maximumValue all consider both added features and changed
attribute values when performing their calculation.
The most noticable effect of this fix is that the unique
values widget now correctly shows values for features which
have been added but not yet committed to the provider.
* Make closestSegment() behave as expected by QgsGeometry::closestSegmentWithContext
This fixes a bug that QgsPointLocator::nearestEdge() would return valid match even for point layers.
* Shortcut if using QgsPointLocator with a wrong layer type
* Save more data to QML
* Virtual fields
* Map tips
* Display expression
* Read only flag
* Streamline expression context generation
Whenever an object is able to generate an expression context it
implements the method createExpressionContext() declared in
QgsExpressionContextGenerator.
This makes a cleaner API and allows using QgsFieldExpressionWidget and
QgsDataDefinedButton from python because standard OO programming
approaches are used instead of callbacks and void pointers.
* Colorize output of doc and sip tests
* Fix build
* Fix sip complaints
* Fix rebase problems
* Workaround failing bindings test
Now all evaluate/prepare/etc methods must be called using QgsExpressionContexts
Also remove most remaining traces of special variables. This brings some
user facing changes, such that existing expressions may need to be
updated if they used these old special variables (eg $scale,
$feature). These changes are noted in doc/qgis3_user_changes.dox
so that we can include them in the release notes.
* Remove deprecated Qgis::WKBType and API cleanup
Renames QgsWKBTypes to QgsWkbTypes
Replaces usage of the enums:
* Qgis::WKBType with QgsWkbTypes::Type
* Qgis::GeometryType with QgsWkbTypes::GeometryType
Their values should be forward compatible (a fact that was already
explited up to now by casting between the types)
Renames some SSLxxx to SslXxx and URIxxx to UriXxx
* Fix build warnings and simplify type handling
* Add a fixer to rewrite imports
* The forgotten rebase conflictThe forgotten rebase conflicts
* QgsDataSourcURI > QgsDataSourceUri
* QgsWKBTypes > QgsWkbTypes
* Qgis.WKBGeom > QgsWkbTypes.Geom
* Further python fixes
* Guess what... Qgis::wkbDimensions != QgsWkbTypes::wkbDimensions
* Fix tests
* Python 3 updates
* [travis] pull request caching cannot be disabled
so at least use it in r/w mode
* Fix python3 print in plugins
Previously there was the expressionField (a field name or an expression)
mainly used for the feature list in the form view of the dual view.
On the other hand there was the displayField which could contain either
a simple field name or a complex HTML structure with embedded expressions.
And to know what it was you could compare it's content with the field names, if
a field name matched, you used it as a displayField (original purpose) and
if not... well, you could deal with HTML if you had a use for it.
The main problem is that there are two different usages for this kind of
thing
* plain text identifier (field or expression)
* pretty, rich text feature info
This commit cleans up with this. You want rich text and a lot of info:
go for mapTipTemplate.
You want a plain text string to identify features: go for
the displayExpression.
All pointer based methods have been removed.
Now we have only:
void setGeometry( const QgsGeometry& geom )
and
QgsGeometry geometry() const
Benefits include avoiding a whole lot of tricky pointer lifetime
issues, potential memory leaks, and finally closing #777, which
has survived for over 9 years!...
Impacts on PyQGIS code:
- no more need for the messy
g = QgsGeometry( feature.geometry() )
workaround, just use g = feature.geometry() instead
- IMPORTANT: you can no longer test whether a feature has geometry
using `if f.geometry():`, since QgsFeature::geometry() will
*always* return an object. Instead, use
`if not f.geometry().isEmpty():`, or preferably the new method
`if not f.hasGeometry():`
Fix#777
Adds a new method to QgsGeometry for merging linestrings.
By passing a multilinestring, any connected lines will
be joined into single linestrings. Behind the scenes this
uses GEOS' line merge.
A corresponding expression function "line_merge" has also
been added.
Returns the closure of the combinatorial boundary of the
geometry (ie the topological boundary of the geometry).
For instance, a polygon geometry will have a boundary
consisting of the linestrings for each ring in the polygon.
Follows OGC / SQL/MM specs for boundary calculation
