Handles scaling of input values to output values by using
a curve created from smoothly joining a number of set
control points.
This assists in creation of curve type transforms, typically
seen in raster image editing software (eg the curves dialog
in GIMP or Photoshop). Transforms are created by passing a
number of set control points through which the transform curve
must pass. The curve is guaranteed to exactly pass through
these control points. Between control points the curve is
smoothly interpolated so that no disjoint sections or
"corners" are present.
A new class QgsPathResolver is introduced for conversion between absolute
and relative paths when reading/writing XML.
Cleaned up code in layer definition file support (.qlr) to better handle
relative/absolute path conversion.
This allows users to set a timer interval in layer properties
for individual layers. These layers will be automatically refreshed
at a matching interval.
Canvas updates are deferred in order to avoid refreshing multiple
times if more than one layer has an auto update interval set.
Additionally, logic has been added to skip any auto redraws of
the canvas while the canvas is already being redrawn. This avoids
issues caused by setting a layer auto refresh to a shorter time than
is required to redraw the canvas.
std::sort is returning a slightly different sort order when
label z order (or label cost) is equal
Given that the order in these cases is effectively arbitrary
I've updated the test masks to accept either order.
Why?
- no benefits to QScopedPointer over std::unique_ptr
- unlike QScopedPointer, std::unique_ptr has no overhead
over regular pointers
- using standard language features makes it more likely that
compilers can optimise this use and static analysers can
correctly handle code using unique_ptrs
- QScopedPointer has an (IMO) uncertain future (given that
Qt is dropping features which have become part of the c++
standard). Better to port now before wider use of QScopedPointer
in the codebase!
Motivations:
- consistency - we generally use expanded names, and this also
matches Qt API which uses Database instead of Db
- avoids unpredictable capitalization throughout API (mix of "Db"
and "DB")
