This change is being driven by:
- need for consistent terminology in the api. Currently there's
a confusing mix of border/outline used
- need for consistent terminology in the gui - we have a mix
of "border"/"outline"/"pen"
- bringing QGIS into line with the standard terminology used
in other graphic editing programs
* 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
- rename methods with XML to Xml, CRS to Crs, WMS to Wms, ID to Id
- rename methods with SRS to Crs
- rename methods with abbreviations like "dest" to "destination"
- rename methods with abbreviations like "src" to "source"
This check tests that if a function has been declared deprecated
with either Q_DECL_DEPRECATED or has a @deprecated Doxygen note
then it MUST have both the Q_DECL_DEPRECATD and @deprecated note.
It's important that both are used, as Q_DECL_DEPRECATED allows
throwing a warning if that method is used in code, while the
@deprecated doxygen note gives an indication to devs/PyQGIS users
of why it's deprecated and what should be used instead.
Ideally we'd also test for SIP /Deprecated/ tags, but I can't
find any reliable way to do this.
Rationale:
- there was a lot of large objects passed by value, so potentially
there's a speed bump from this
- even for implicitly shared classes like QString/QList there's still
a (small) cost for copying the objects when there's no reason to
- it's the right thing to do!
If negative margins are set for a label, the label contents will
begin outside the bounds of the label. This is desirable for
aligning label items with other items while allowing for optical
margin alignment for the label type.
- New class QgsComposerObject, which both QgsComposerItem and QgsComposerMultiFrame
derive from. This class contains the framework for data defined composition properties.
- New class QgsComposerUtils, containing helpful static functions previously in QgsComposerItem
- Test suites for data defined settings in QgsComposerObject and functions in QgsComposerUtils
