Instead of requiring all linestrings to be constructed by
first creating QgsPointSequence (requiring creation or
conversion of points to QgsPointV2), allow construction
of LineStrings directly from vectors of values (fastest!)
or lists of QgsPoint.
Likely results in speedups for lots of geometry operations,
but using the same layer as earlier tested for densify
improvements the densify operation time dropped further
from 25 seconds to 15 seconds.
- Add QgsGeometry method to densify by distance
- Fix bug in processing algorithm which resulted in duplicate
vertices and incorrectly spaced extra vertices
This comes in handy when in need of insure visibility of a
marker/line/polygon overlay over both light and dark areas.
This also updates the map view's extent to make use of a
secondary stroke color instead of a semi-transparent fill.
Add an interface method to show the options dialog at a specific
page. This is required since plugins can now embed their options
in the main options dialog, so they may also need a way to
force this dialog to open.
Implement this in processing so that enabling additional providers
works again.
Adds a new geometry class for Triangle geometries
Methods include orthocenter, bisectors, medians, medial, circumscribed (center,
radius), inscribed (center, radius)
Also adds make_triangle expression function for creating triangles
Instead of creating them for all items when composer window
is opened, instead just create and destroy them when
required. None are too heavy to have a noticable delay
when selecting items, but in contrast keeping them around
forever is wasteful on memory.
Also clean up a lot of duplicate composer/composition
code and remove unnecessary signals from api (use a single
itemAdded signal instead of multiple signals for every
item type)
Since composer windows are now only created on demand, and
destroyed when the window is closed, the old interface methods
no longer apply. The new interface methods openComposers(),
openComposer(), closeComposer(), composerOpened(),
composerWillBeClosed() and composerClosed() are similar, but
only apply to composer windows when they are exist (i.e.
are currently open).
To access all compositions from a project, the project's
layoutManager() should be used instead.
Additionally, the new interface methods work with
QgsComposerInterface objects instead of QgsComposerView
objects. This should allow future hooks for plugins to interact
with open composer windows in a more useful way.
Not much there yet, but it adds an interface with stable API
which can be used by plugins and scripts to interact with
composer windows.
Could be expanded in future to add hooks for toolbars, menus,
etc, allowing plugins to extend composer functionality.
This adds a new QgsLayoutManager class which is used for
storage and serializing/deserializing of compositions.
A QgsLayoutManager is attached to QgsProject. This allows
core code to access the compositions attached to a project.
The intention is to move all handling of compositions from
app to core, making it easy for server to access project
compositions without resorting to fragile xml parsing.
