This is intended for use with non-qgs/qgz project files
(see QgsCustomProjectOpenHandler) in order to allow custom project open handlers
to specify the original file name of the project. For custom project formats,
it is NOT appropriate to call setFileName() with the original project path, as
this causes the original (non QGIS) project file to be overwritten when the
project is next saved.
This commit adds a new avoid intersection mode setting when
digitizing new features. The three available modes are:
- allow intersections/overlaps
- avoid intersections/overlaps on active layer
- avoid intersectonss/overlaps on layers list
The third mode is what QGIS has had for a while, except
its UI/UX is a bit messy. The layers list is setup by
the user via the advanced snapping configuration widgets,
but isn't connected at all with whether snapping is
enabled / disabled.
This new approach makes it explicit to user whether
newly-added features might be clipped or not, and
if so by which layer(s).
Finally, the new 'avoid intersections/overlaps on
active layer' is likely a far more useful behavior
than having a list of layers (for e.g., you might
be digitizing on a layer that can't have overlap
with itself but is fine to overlap with another
layer, the latter also in need of avoid overlap
_with itself_).
This class (attached to a QgsProject object) provides a place to
store and retrieve settings related to project display behavior,
e.g. the numeric formats used for bearings and coordinates
attached to QgsProject
And deprecate old getters/setters
The goal here is to create a place for project view related settings (e.g.
map scales, default extent, possibly future things like a fixed project
maximum area of interest, etc). Currently these are all handled in an
ad-hoc way, e.g. sometimes in project custom keys, sometimes inside
xml saved and restored by map canvases. But both these approaches break
important use case for plugins, e.g. creating a project from scratch
which will zoom to a desired extent on load. That's totally impossible
in the current API, unless you resort to extremely fragile manual
xml crafting...
Speeds up project read time when these aren't needed, and also potentially
avoids issues caused by non-thread-safety in layouts (since some items rely
on classes which can only be used in the main thread e.g. QWebPage)
Attached to QgsProject, this provides a stable, supported method
of managing project bookmarks (vs the old undocumented, not stable
approach of directly manipulating project keys)
This causes the project to be read, but no data providers created for
layers (i.e. the same result as loading a project in the app and
choosing to leave bad layers in the project).
It's intended for occasions when you want to efficiently access properties
of a project without the (often very expensive) cost of actually
loading layers. E.g. to just read project metadata, parse the
layer tree structure, extract print layouts or renderer properties, etc.
Adds a new visitor pattern API for creation of visitors which visit
all the style entities (symbols, color ramps, text formats, and
label styles) associated with different objects. Can be used on a
renderer, map layer, or project wide level.
E.g. on a project wide level, allows collection of ALL the style
symbols/color ramps/text settings inside a project, including those
in layouts or annotations!
For the c++ api dox this expands to "\c nullptr" (the
\c directive indicates a code literal value), and for sipify/Python
it expands to ``None`` (`` is sphinx annotation for literal values)
Makes for nicer dox for both c++ and Python!
... and to count them
Tests updated accordingly, note that from now on
the assumption that a layer store or a layer project
contains only valid layers will not be true anymore.
To be honest it has never been true, because a
layer can become invalid at any time during
its life cycle, so better never assume that a
layer from the store or from the project is vaid.
* create QgsMapLayer::LayerFlags for Searchable, Identifiable and Removable
this brings back the information previously saved in the project node back to the layer node
this will allow to embed this information in layer styles
* skip unexisting flag node to avoid setting wrong value for flag
* mark QgsProject::(set)requiredLayers as deprecated
* better API docs
* use new API in current code
* more docs and more old API fixes
* fix bad conversion
* more old API fix
* add missing SIP_OUT
* s/testFlags/testFlag
* fix var name
* adapt project test to test flags
* remove debug calls
* fixeS
Translated objects and tests included:
- [x] layer names
- [x] layer group names
- [x] relation names
- [x] attribute alias (if no alias, then the field translation)
- [x] forms group box titles
- [x] forms sub group box titles
included restructured with QTranslator object.
Updated test-data used for the test.
