class QgsGroupLayer : QgsMapLayer
{
%Docstring(signature="appended")

A map layer which consists of a set of child layers, where all component layers are rendered as a single
flattened object during map renders.

Child layers are never owned by :py:class:`QgsGroupLayer`. References to layers in a group are stored as weak
references only, which wills be automatically cleaned up whenever the linked child layer is deleted.

Constructor for LayerOptions.

Constructor for a new QgsGroupLayer with the specified layer ``name``.

The ``options`` argument specifies load-time layer options.

    void setChildLayers( const QList< QgsMapLayer * > &layers );
%Docstring
Sets the child ``layers`` contained by the group.

This method does not take ownership of the layers, but rather assigns them to the group. Layers should be already added to
the parent :py:class:`QgsProject` wherever appropriate.

.. seealso:: :py:func:`childLayers`

%Docstring
Returns the child layers contained by the group.

%Docstring
Returns the current paint effect for the group layer.

.. seealso:: :py:func:`setPaintEffect`
%End

    void setPaintEffect( QgsPaintEffect *effect /Transfer/ );
%Docstring
Sets the current paint ``effect`` for the renderer.

Ownership is transferred to the renderer.

.. seealso:: :py:func:`paintEffect`
%End

    void prepareLayersForRemovalFromGroup();
%Docstring
Prepares all child layers in the group prior to removal from the group.

This method should be called before removing a group layer from a project, to ensure
that the existing child layers are in a state which is compatible with non-group
layer children.
