converted to QgsMapLayer objects with the ownership transferred
to the Python caller
This should make it super-easy for PyQGIS scripts to run processing
algorithms and immediately utilise the results, even if they
are memory layers. They call processing.run(), and get a dict of
results back which includes those layers ready for adding to the
current project or doing some other processing or operations
with, and if they don't transfer to ownership off then these
layers will be correctly garbaged collected by Python.
- remove temporary layers from context, delete them as soon as they
are finished with
- directly remove features via data provider, instead of selecting
and using edit buffer
- use native geometry methods for splitting to single features
and removing rings
Since it's safe to evaluate parameters in background threads
now, it's usually going to be ok to evaluate everything in
the processAlgorithm step.
This keeps the algorithm code as simple as possible, and will
make porting faster.
Note that the prepare/postProcess virtual methods still exist
and can be used when an algorithm MUST do setup/cleanup work
in the main thread.
add to the current context
With appropriate note and tests to ensure that both the current
context and that which the results being taken from share the
same thread affinity
- take a clone of algs before running them. This avoids issues
if the algorithm is removed or edited while a background task
is running
- accept an optional existing feedback object
The button can now be used in two different modes. The default behavior
is to include all settings used for configuring
QgsTextFormat/QgsTextRenderer classes. A cut down mode (without settings
for color/buffer/drop shadow/etc) is also available when the resultant
font is to be used only in a QFont object.
A standard widget for configuring text format properties for use
with QgsTextRenderer/QgsTextFormat.
It's modelled heavily off QgsColorButton, and supports lots of nice
things like dragging formats between buttons, copying and pasting
format settings, dropping colors from color buttons, dragging colors
from font buttons to color buttons, directly setting font size
and opacity/color without having to open a dialog.
