This method attempts to interpolate the point on a linestringM
where a specified m value falls. It does this by interpolating
M values along the line string segments, finding the first
segment at which the target M value falls. If the M value
corresponds to a part of the line with constant m values, then
the center point of this constant m value portion will be
returned.
The simplification MUST be applied prior to transforming geometries,
or the precalculated simplification tolerance will no be correct
and may be excessive (eg when the simplification tolerance
was calculated for a map in meters, yet the rendered layer is
in degrees -- in this case we would simplify the inverted geometry
with a tolerance of ~1 degree!)
Ensure that we apply the simplification FIRST, then transform,
and disable further simplification when rendering the calculated
inverted feature. This is also a performance boost, because we
are simplifying geometries prior to transforming + calculating
the inversion, so usually end up with a lot less vertices
to handle in those operations...
When a picture annotation item is set to the fixed size mode,
and has a callout anchor set, always place the annotation itself
at a fixed offset from the callout anchor. This mimics the
behavior of the old SVG annotation decoration.
Allows rendering a marker symbol below the endpoint of the balloon
callout. Designed to allow balloon callouts to reproduce the same
visual appearance as the older annotation framework items.
sip doesn't use the standard Python staticmethod type for defining
static methods, which means that standard means of testing
for a static method (like `isinstance(..., staticmethod)`) fail
with any PyQGIS static methods.
This causes issues with lint tools, which incorrectly flag
calls to QGIS static methods as missing self arguments. It also
breaks detection of static methods in the sphinx PyQGIS docs,
so all static methods are shown as non-static.
Work around this in sipify, by wrapping unambiguously static
methods in staticmethod wrappers.
