This adds another method to display field names with alias, this is to be used when
working close to the data structure (sql builder, expressions etc.) when the information
in the alias is sometimes fundamental to indentify what the field contains.
displayNameWithAlias is now used (insted of field name) in:
expressions dialog
query builder
The format is:
alias (field_name)
and, in case there is no alias:
field_name
Allows a QgsProject created using QGIS api only (i.e., not via the desktop
application) to specify the default extent which should be visible when
that project is opened.
Straight from the dox:
Sets the default view extent, which should be used as the initial map extent
when this project is opened.
\warning When a project is opened in the QGIS desktop application and saved, individual
map canvases will store their own previous view extent as custom project properties. Reloading
this saved version of the project will trigger the canvases to restore their individual last view
extents. Accordingly, in the QGIS desktop application, this setting only forms a default, initial
view used when the project is opened for the very first time.
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...
which doesn't require pre-allocation of a temporary QImage
The existing interface is very inefficient for the bilinear resampler,
because it requires allocation of a temporary QImage just to pass
the desired height and width to the resampler...
The mesh styling dialog now has new combo box for selection of resampling method for datesets defined on faces.
Also the analysis library has new class QgsMeshContours with export function for contour lines and contour polygons.
rendering operations on a specific feature are performed
This allows symbol layer subclasses to know when a set of rendering
operations all relate to a single feature, e.g. when a number
of polygons are rendered which all belong to the same multi-polygon
geometry attached to a single feature.
Without these hooks, symbol layer subclasses have no stable method
of knowing that these parts all relate to a single feature, or
have no means of knowing when the final part of that feature has
been rendered.
This commit adds a new fill symbol layer type "Random marker fill". It
allows polygon features to be rendered using a marker symbol placed
at random locations within the polygon boundary.
Options include:
- number of marker symbols to render for the polygon
- whether markers rendered near the edges of polygons should be clipped
to the polygon boundary or not
- an optional random number seed, to give consistent placement
of markers whenever maps are refreshed (also allows random placement
to play nice with QGIS server and tile-based rendering)

Designed to match the "Display background value" option from ArcMap.
