* 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
Before the algorithm was written to optimise clipping a few
features against thousands of mask features. The revised algorithm
is optimised for clipping thousands of input features against
a few mask features.
Given that this second operation is much more likely, it makes
sense to optimise for this use case.
I've also applied some other optimisations like taking advantage
of spatial indexes on the providers, using prepared geometries
and also only applying an intersection operation if the geometry
isn't wholly contained by the mask geometry.
Benchmarks:
clipping roads layer with 1 million lines against 2 polygons
before: 5 mins 30 seconds
after: 10 seconds
clipping address layer with 5 million points against 2 polygons
before: 50 minutes
after: 30 seconds
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
