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!
The basic idea is to split reading of XML definition and resolution of layer IDs into layers.
Also includes some cleanups in QgsProject and improvements in QgsVectorLayerJoinInfo.
This allows to declare data dependencies between layers. A data
dependency occurs when a data modification in a layer, not by direct
user manipulation may modify data of other layers.
This is the case for instance when geometry of a layer is updated by a
database trigger after modification of another layer's geometry.
* 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
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.
Clean up API. Remove QgsPanelWidgetPage - no longer needed
QgsPanelWidgetStack widget manages back button and breadcrumb.
QgsPanelWidget manages state of active widget.
