Now all evaluate/prepare/etc methods must be called using QgsExpressionContexts
Also remove most remaining traces of special variables. This brings some
user facing changes, such that existing expressions may need to be
updated if they used these old special variables (eg $scale,
$feature). These changes are noted in doc/qgis3_user_changes.dox
so that we can include them in the release notes.
* 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
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.
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
...and leave only:
QgsCoordinateTransform( const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem& source,
const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem& destination );
The other constructors were not used anyway in QGIS code,
had awkward/confusing API, and no unit tests.
And rename to QgsUnitTypes::RenderUnits. This enum is used in
much more contexts than just symbols, so QgsUnitTypes is a
better fit for it.
All methods which previously accepted QgsSymbolV2::OutputUnit
parameters or QgsSymbolV2::OutputUnitList parameters now take
QgsUnitTypes::RenderUnit or QgsUnitTypes::RenderUnitList
parameters respectively.
This change consolidates more unit handling and conversion into
QgsUnitTypes.
Additionally, UnknownUnit was renamed to UnknownDistanceUnit.
All methods which accepted QGis::UnitType parameters have been
updated to take QgsUnitTypes::DistanceUnit instead.
ALso remove the unit handling methods toLiteral, fromLiteral, tr,
fromTr, and fromUnitToUnitFactor from QGis. Their corresponding
counterparts in QgsUnitTypes should be used instead.
for initializing CRS objects.
This avoids the need for the separate QgsCRSCache class,
and means that the caching benefits are available without the
need for calling methods from QgsCrsCache.
